After meeting his parents, Arun landed directly at Beena’s house.

“Hi, Beans! How are you?” Beena lifted her head to see Arun with a beaming smile.

“Hi, Arun, what are you doing here? I thought you will be somewhere in Spain?” Beena screamed at her cousin.

“I just now landed here to meet my dear beans! How are you dear?” Arun greeted her with his usual laugh.

“Don’t call me like that. I hate to hear you calling me.” Beena frowned at him.

“How can I let go of that. You are my favorite beans – Is it double beans or soy beans or kidney beans, I am not sure of that.” Arun mocked her.

“Ma, ask him not to call me like that.” Beena shouted loudly at her mother.

“Beans, you are still the same. You have not changed at all.” Arun exclaimed.

“Why should I change? I am the same Beena forever.” Beena gave him a curt reply.

“Yes, what is going on, I heard Vel ditched you, poor dear.” Arun once again teased her.

“Shut up, he does not deserve me. I don’t want him now.” Beena replied him sharply.

“Cool, cool, just teasing you. I know about him; you are poles apart. And why did you want to get married to him.” Arun questioned her.

“Hmm, that is a good question. You know sometimes I am crazy, it happened when I was feeling crazy. Now it is over.” Beena joined him with a wide laugh.

“So, you forgot about a handsome guy who was just thinking about you always. Oh, poor me!” Arun answered her with a sad tone.

“You don’t think you are handsome! Don’t think too much about yourself.” Beena replied him back.

Beena knew already what Arun liked and so planned the menu accordingly. She helped her mother to prepare a wonderful lunch for Arun.


Beena’s parents already knew why Arun was there on a sudden visit. Arun is another cousin of Beena and that was his usual visit from Spain to meet his parents.

While having lunch Arun opened the topic to Beena’s parents.

“Uncle, this time when I am going back, I want to take my wife also along with me. Daddy has been looking for some alliances, but no one impressed me. I think it will be better if I marry Beena. What is your opinion?” Arun spoke to his uncle directly.

The whole family was so happy to hear it from him.

“Yes, did your father know about this?” Beena’s father asked him with a surprise.

“Yes, they first want to know if you are interested in this. Then he would proceed further.” Arun replied to him.

“We were all really unhappy after Vel told us that he did not want to marry Beena. I could not really believe this.” Beena’s father replied him with a choking tone.

“Uncle, I understand your feelings. I know how it will be as a parent to take these things at heart. But be happy he told things frankly at this stage itself. Time can heal any kind of wound. Now let me know if you agree to my marriage proposal.” Arun asked him again.

“We agree to it. But you don’t mind marrying within the family. You know what reason Vel told us for refusing.” Beena’s mother asked Arun.

“That is his wish. I also know about the drawbacks. But I don’t mind taking the risk, it will not happen always. Believe me, it may or may not happen.” Arun spoke to her in a convincing tone.

“When are you leaving India?” Beena’s father enquired Arun.

“I will be leaving by the end of next month. But I want to get married soon, so that I can apply for visa. There is such a lot to do.” Arun answered him.

“When are your parents coming here?” Beena’s mother asked Arun with an excited tone.

“They may be here any time tomorrow. Uncle, before that I want to tell you one thing. The marriage needs to be registered first, and then we can call everyone and conduct the marriage in the usual way.” Arun explained everything before he finished his lunch.

Beena’s parents never expected that things will take a turn like this. Beena was so excited that she could not control her tears. She felt so happy that Arun came on time to make her parents happy and relieved. She thanked Arun wholeheartedly for that.


Beena and Arun always talked jovially with each other and they often teased each other when they met in person or chat online. Just like Vel, she knew Arun also right from her childhood. She remembered the days when they all played together during their annual holidays and made the house louder and cheerful with their pranks.

Now Beena suddenly felt so shy and nervous to speak to him. All her mischievousness took the back seat and she became calm. With a blushing smile, she went into the kitchen and did not come to the dining hall till they finished eating.

Beena who was talking loudly when Arun entered their home became so silent and struggled for words to reply to her parents.

While he was still at home, Arun’s parents called Beena’s father and their conversation ended happily with further arrangements for an early marriage.

From then onwards Beena became a silent spectator to their conversation. She could now find the difference in the way Arun even looked at her. Her cheeks now glowed with the rush of extra blood and this made Arun tease her more.

“Aunty, nowadays girls don’t know how to blush. See how your daughter is blushing. She is still a traditional girl, isn’t it?” Arun questioned with wonder.

Beena’s mother smiled at Arun and went inside the kitchen to get some more water.

Arun sat on the sofa in the living room. He was also surprised to see the sudden change in Beena.

“Hi, beans, it is fun to see you like this. Why you forgot how to talk?” Arun teased her.

Beena smiled at him. She could not withstand even eye contact with Arun. She moved away with some lame excuses. She herself could not tell what happened to her. That is the traditional charm that a wedding that brings in Indian girls.

Even though they are highly qualified and earn more, still they remembered the traits of culture as it is carried through genes from one generation to the next generation. That is the gift given by our ancestors for all the girls who are born as Indians.

Beena’s parents left both of them alone for a while. Arun with a twinkle in his eyes called her again. “Look at me my dear, get ready for the marriage.” Beena simply nodded her heard.

“Oh, I am shocked, you are not my beans. Why you have become so soggy and soaked? What happened?” Arun looked at her with a mischievous smile.

“Are you not happy about getting married to me?” Arun asked her.

“No.” Beena shook her head. Her hands folded on her lap, she could not control the nervousness and she could hear the raising palpitation of her heart.

“If you don’t like, tell me now itself. I can talk to your parents.” Arun questioned her.

“I am ready to get married to you.” Beena answered her in a low, whispering tone.

“There are so many things to learn in love life. I can help you to be a master in that. Are you ready?” Arun asked her in a serious tone.

Beena blushed when she understood what he hinted at. She nodded her head and told her acceptance.

“Uncle and aunty are here; otherwise I can kiss and tell you take care.” Arun whispered to her.

“Hmm. Take care.” Beena spoke to him after a long silence.

“Get ready to be my bride, dear.” Arun waved her good bye and left her home with a smile.

The next ten days went on with so much activity at home and Beena’s parents could not spare much time to be there at home.

Arun also accompanied them wherever they went and Beena could not believe she is getting married.

 First Arun took her to the latest shopping mall. After getting what she wanted, he drove toward a famous restaurant.

“What do you want to have?” Arun picked the menu card and gave it to her. He waited till she selected her favorite and then placed the order.

“Beena, how do you feel now?” Arun asked her bluntly.

Beena did not understand why he asked such a question suddenly.

“I feel good.” Beena replied him back.

“Do you still regret Vel did not want to marry you?” Arun asked her again.

“What is the need to ask this question now?” Beena frowned at him.

“Nothing, I asked just like that.” Arun replied her back.

“Will you stop talking about that again to me? I am now married and I don’t want to discuss such things anymore.” She answered sharply to him.

“Sorry, I will not talk like this again.” Arun apologized to her.

On the way back home, Beena was silent and answered yes or no for all his questions.

After all these years, it is still difficult to understand what goes on in the mind of a woman. Unnecessarily he spoiled that evening and returned home without any excitement.


“Beans, are you upset?” Arun asked her again.

“Nothing, what is the need to feel upset.” Beena replied him.

“Then why are you sitting there in the corner. Come and sit near me.” Arun asked her to move near to him.

Without replying, she moved near him and sat close to him.

“I planned something else, but nothing happened.” Arun talked to her without looking at her.

“Don’t mistake me for asking such a question. It came out just like that.”

“Hmm, I am happy you cleared your doubt.” Beena replied him back.

“Leave it. Let us talk about our future. Do you know how to ride a car?” He asked her.

“Yes, I learned to drive a car last year only. Do you want to test my driving skills?” Beena questioned him.

“I wanted to know if you know car driving, nothing else.”

“Do you want me to drive the car now?” Beena asked him again.

“No, I don’t want to take the risk now.” With a smile he answered her back.

“How dare you talk to me like that?” Beena pinched him on his left arm.

“Oh, god, what a pinch, it is so painful.” Arun answered loudly.

“I can’t even rub it. I have my hand on the steering wheel.” Arun murmured to himself.

“So sad, can I help you not to feel the pain.” Beena asked him back.

“No need. I can manage myself.” Arun replied to her without turning on her side.

“Why did you take me out today? Is there anything special?” Beena asked him when they neared their home.

“I just wanted to feel how you are.” Arun parked the car at the side of the road, turned around and hugged her tightly. Next, he pulled her face toward him and planted a passionate kiss on her lips. The unexpected hug and kiss made Beena blush once again. She sat searching for words.

“I expected you to kiss me back. You are sitting still. Have you never read any love novels?” Arun asked her with a loud laughter. Pleasantly surprised with the unexpected hug from Arun, Beena could only smile back at him.

“You did not expect such a thing from me. Is it not?” Arun questioned her again.

“As a husband, you have the right to do.” Beena answered him.

“Maybe, but I think you were expecting me to do that. And I also know you suspected such things to happen when I asked you to come out with me. Is it not?” He asked once again.

“Yes, I can read your mind.” Beena kissed him back on his cheek and hit softly on his forehead with her head.

“Beena are you ready to do this.” Arun asked Beena.

“What?” Beena looked at him.

“Look into my eyes.” Arun told Beena.

“Yes.” She looked into his eyes with a constant glare.

“Adjust your seat belt and sit comfortably on the seat. Just turn your head around and look at me.” Arun asked her to face him straightly.


“Have you heard about mind melds?” He questioned her.

Beena became curious to know about it as she had not heard anything about it.

“I have not heard about it. What is that?” She asked him.

“Mind-meld is a telepathic technique that helps to share thoughts, experiences, memories and knowledge with another person.” Arun answered her.

“In the mind meld, the minds of two individuals become a single entity. So, when it happens, you will think the same thing as I think.”

“It can be done through physical contact and sometimes it can be done even without physical contact.”

He explained to her in detail.

“Mind melds can be used to erase memories also. It can allow more than one mind to experience memories or feelings. It can interact with the memories of other person also.”

“Now let me start it.” The car with the windows raised, she could hear only the silent hum of the air-conditioner.

“Hold your hands together and place them on your lap.” Beena started to do one by one as he kept on telling her to do. After a few minutes, she realized she was not sitting inside the car, in the front seat near Arun. Both of them were walking hand in hand on a hill slope.

Beena found it difficult to climb on the steps on the steep hill for she could listen to the loud beating of her heart. She gripped tightly the left hand of Arun, and with slow steps they climbed the hill.

Beena could feel the cold breeze on her face. She could even hear the sweet songs of songbirds that kept on singing continuously from the hidden branches of trees that grew on the slopes.

“Look at the clouds over there.” Arun asked Beena to look at the moving clouds in the sky. The clouds looked mesmerizingly beautiful and some of them looked brighter with the silver lining that ran across their edges.

“These clouds are nothing but air. If you go near them, you will not see any clouds only empty space will be there.” Arun told her.

“Yes, I know clouds are formed due to the frozen water particles that linger on the air.” Beena answered him back.

“Yes, our minds are also like those clouds. Sometimes we feel happy, sometimes we feel sad. Finally, they are nothing, they are only our assumptions.” He replied to her.

“Why do these philosophic thoughts come in our way now?” Beena questioned him.

“It is the starting point of our love life. I want you to go deeper and explore all kinds of possibilities so that we will be satisfied at all levels.” Arun replied to her.

Beena could not understand anything and so she looked blankly at him.

Walking slowly for more than thirty minutes, they finally reached a waterfall. Beena could see the water flowing from a great height with force.

Only a few birds and monkeys can be seen over there. Not even a single human being was seen there. The whole place looked far away from the bustling activity of human kind and it looked serene and calm.

“Do you mind joining me?” Arun walked toward the water fall.

“Let us take a dip in that cold water. Come.” He called her again.

Beena stretched her hand and touched the icy water from the falls. It sent a shiver through her spine and it slowly spread throughout her body.

“Enough testing, come and join me.” He pulled her into the water.

“I have not brought any spare dress. Please, leave me.” Beena requested him.

“It will dry when we walk again.” Arun pulled her hard into the stream of water.

The icy cold water fell on her head like a thud and massaged her throughout her body. After standing like that for more than five minutes, she started to enjoy the bath.

Arun removed his shirt and threw it on the ground. He stood there with his pant and the sleeveless banian that showed him like the handsome guy who posed for banians on the roadside poster.

“Oh, god, he looks so handsome.” Beena smiled at him.

“It will be good if I am taking bath like this.” She clubbed her hands across her chest.

“May be, but the real joy is not with the clothes on.” Arun teased her.

“Come into my hands.” Arun pulled her into a tight embrace.

“Hi, you cannot separate me from my sweetheart.” Arun screamed at the water falls.

Beena looked at his well-built chest and shoulders. His biceps were hard like stone and she could not press it with her slender fingers.

The broad shoulders showed her the care he took to maintain his body structure and at one angle, the shoulders looked so enticing and inviting that he could not resist her wish to rest her head on his shoulders and take a quick nap.

“Hi, what are you looking at me? Do I look so enticing?” Arun laughed at her.

“Do you exercise regularly?” Her eyes became wider with the wonder of looking at his well-built physique.

“Yes, I exercise regularly. But this is not the time to discuss all those things. Come and enjoy along with me, I will teach you what love life is?” He planted a passionate kiss on her lips that shivered in the cold water.

“Feel my warmth, my sweetheart.” Cheerfully Beena also joined him to explore what love is.


Beena willingly let him explore her under the cold water. For a girl, if she can get a loving life partner who can lovingly explore the beauties of his lady love, life will be a wonderful experience to record. The passionate love he can show on the curves of her loving body will stay there for longer and she will never forget the experience of sincere love.

Arun clearly showed mastery in exploring the secrets of her body and set the rhythm of love flow endlessly through her. His love dissolved in her blood stream and it slowly spread from her head to toe.

The birds and squirrels on the high branches of the trees looked at them and stopped whatever they were doing. The flowers that bloomed high up in the hills detached themselves from the plant and they rushed down the water to bless their love.

After having a wonderful love experience under the falls, both of them started to walk down the hill. It was not as difficult as their climb up the hill. The chilly breeze touched her soft curls of hair and dried them within minutes.

Her dress pinned to her body also dried slowly. With his hand held tight to her narrow hip, he walked down the hill whispering sweet nothings. Beena felt happy and moved closer to him all the way even if he moved away while walking down the hill.

On the way down the hill, they were able to spot so many kinds of birds peculiar to the hill and more number of monkeys jumped from tree to tree.

They saw some women carrying dry twigs that they collected from the slopes of the hill.

One woman carried a basket filled with purple colored berry like fruits.

“What are they?” Arun asked her.

“They are wild jamun fruits. It will be tastier than those fruits you get in your town.”

She handed over him some fruits neatly placed inside cone like structure made from leaves plucked from some tree in the wild.

“Thank you, it is delicious.” Arun thanked her and shared the fruits with Beena.

“How do you feel now?” Arun asked her in a softer tone.

“Good.” Beena answered him as if in a trance.

“Will you ever think about any other apart from me now?” Arun asked her. Beena nodded her head telling no. Arun erased away all the memories about Vel from her mind. He erased even the thoughts about Vel as a boy that were deeply embedded in her mind.

Arun felt relieved. He wanted Beena only to himself and he did not want her to think any more about Vel.

“Do you want to come out of that?” He asked referring to their satisfying bath in the water falls.

“No, please take me over there once again.” Beena replied him again.

“That is done for today. We will try later.” Arun started the car.


Adjusting her seat belt, Beena reclined her head on the seat. She felt the experience satisfying and fulfilling. She did not know what happened to her. Arun just asked her to look into his eyes. She met his glance boldly. She could remember the streaks of light rays coming from his eyes and they entered into her eyes.

The rays touched her eye lashes and made her pupil enlarge wider. The rays entered into her inner mind through the narrow space that opened up for him to enter. She sat still on the front seat of the car. The rays slowly took hold of her inner thoughts and took control of her wavering thoughts and feelings that stayed hidden deep inside her sub conscious mind.

Beena has never allowed anyone to tamper with her deeper mind levels, but Arun entered that region even without asking her permission. She had deliberately allowed him to enter and explore more about her inner mind.

“Get down.” Arun opened the door and asked her to get down out of the car.

He slowly tapped on her shoulder and asked her to come out of that trance.

“Hi, Beena, open your eyes, we have reached home.” Beena shook herself and came to senses.

“What happened to me?” Beena asked Arun.

“Nothing, you are perfect. Go and take rest. I will come tomorrow.” Leaving her at home, he left immediately.

Beena still could not believe what happened to her. She walked straight to the room and threw herself on the bed. After a few minutes, she was fast asleep.

“Beena, Beena,” her mother came calling her.

“Where is Arun? Did you eat anything outside? Or do you want to eat anything?” Beena could hear her mother’s words as if spoken in a long distance.

“No, let me sleep. I am tired.” Without answering her questions further, Beena continued her sleep. Beena slept through the night and when she woke up in the morning, her mind was completely free and she felt light as if someone had lifted the hidden burden in her heart.

She still did not realize it is because of Arun who cleared all the doubts and confusion from her mind by applying the mind meld technique.
