“Do you take me for a double agent or what?”
“Sorry for spoiling,” she said sounding apologetic.
“If it’s your marital right to retain Suresh isn’t it her womanly right to covet him?”
“Well, her man too has a right over her fidelity, doesn’t he have?
“Of course, but that’s not the issue, is it?”
“Why not, as I have a right to alert him about her infidelity.”
“That would boomerang on your marriage, and rightly so?”
“Why do you sound so scary?”
“Am I not concerned about you?”
“Don’t I know that more than ever?”
“So better give up that idea.”
“It would be no more than a subsiding storm.”
“What if that derails her marriage?”
“Didn’t she ask for it by trespassing into my marital space? Let her go to hell, how do I care.”
“If her man starts harassing her, why won’t Suresh offer her his shoulder to cry on?”
“Oh, that’s bound to exacerbate my predicament, why didn’t I think about it?”
“Worse, if her man were to divorce her, won’t your man feel obliged to man her show?
“Oh God, that would be like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire itself.”
“That’s all about the dilemmas of life.”
“Take me to the signboards of other three routes at the crossroads.”
“Before that know man always comes back to his wife in the end?”
“Well.”
“So take the languid route to reclamation,” he said sounding persuasive.
“You know that I’m not a laidback type.”
“Being a firebrand take the proactive path then?”
“What is that?” she said taking his hand.
“Welcome her into a threesome sexual fold.”
“What an idea sirji,” she said withdrawing her hand.
“Deadly idea so to say; if she were a flirt, she would flee from the field, won’t she?”
“What if she jumps into our bed?”
“Won’t that take you to the frontiers of lesbianism for achieving orgasmic nirvana?”
“Are you serious?”
“If you haven’t fantasized about it, ask your woman friends who could have.”
“All said and done, how I could sleep with my enemy, make no mistake about it.”
“Didn’t Byron say that there is a pleasure in passing through the pathless woods, and that was in the context of incest, and it could hold good for threesome sex as well.”
“By the way, what’s the orgasmic nirvana you were hinting at?”
“It’s the mental empathy of a couple as one of them indulges with a third character.”
“As a theory it is okay, I suppose.”
