That night With Rosy

Stuart was an average boy in his neighbourhood. He was quite simple and sober guy. 

Around 5'3" to 5'4" in height, hairy legs and shoulders, overall average personality and hair on head disappearing faster than leaves were shredding from that oak tree on the main road. Also He was an average income earner. 

Stuart, was around 26 years of age now and this age makes a boy actually a man in literal sense. He was feeling that he needed someone who can make him feel more of a human than a jerk or a walking bag or just an average guy. He wanted a sweet girl may she be not that beautiful but a girl to hold his hand and walk with him on this road called life without any unnecessary expectations and without any parameters like high income, luxurious life, or an impressive personality as he had none but he too deserved respect!

Stuart was neglected and sometimes even insulted by his colleagues too. He used to sometimes hate the whole world as he thought he was always judged weaker due to his personality traits. He also used to have quarrels with his family members due to issues like loan for a new house, job change, lower income level etc. 

He was heartbroken and depressed. Days have names but for him each day had same name "pathetic". He was tired and weary by the end of each day. 

From this month office load also increased which became further tiring and frustrating. 

One night while his way back home he saw a beautiful woman. She was gorgeous and white as snow. She reminded him of that woman princess whom boys like him see in their fantasies and dreams. 

He was lost in her beauty. She realised that. She started walking towards him. He was surprised. What was happening? A woman paying attention to him. She was wearing a skirt, sleeveless top, light red colored lipstick, and beautiful makeup. Her eyes had depth, her hair were straight and her height was 5'5". Wait why is she walking towards him? Is she going to slap him? 

Stuart was frozen and astounded. He could not move. He closed his eyes and then the woman said " Are u interested for a night oh young boy?"

Wait, what? 

She was a prostitute. Only they are so straightforward and frank creatures. He had heard alot about such women and his elders had always warned him that its the door of destruction. But whats there to be destroyed now? 

He was thinking what to say. The lady seemed to feel bored and she started looking here and there thinking he was penniless. But then Stuart said " Yes. I am interested in a night oh pretty woman."

"What do i need to give in return?"

"30$ for a night."

"What the hell? But she is giving a nice chance and she herself is nice."

"Okay I will give. "

"15$ advance and 15$ after u feel happy."

"Ok take it. "

Girls do change boys. They make them what they are not. Stuart was a miser but now he was not. He looked bold and lady held his hand and asked where to go my man?"

"Man, oh man! And this woman i tell u...."

"Where do u feel we can go miss? I want a safe place and one where we can do what i want."

"I know what u want honey. I know a place. Its a good hotel but dear i wont pay the bills." 

"I doubt that you know what i want. But yes bills will be paid by me as you are my beloved one today."

They reached a nice hotel and booked a room for whole night. Manager was viewing Rosy from a tilted eye but seeing the advance payment of rent by Stuart they got relaxed. 

Then they both reached the room and lady requested Stuart to allow him to go to the loo. He allowed. 

After a while she came and asked " So, shall i start? She was about to open up her pants and shirt then suddenly Stuart asked "Wait I dont want that."

Then what do you want? Wait are you a stingy TV Crime reporter or some inspector. If you are that i will scream so loud and you will.....

No, no i am what i told you but i am not what you thought.

I am the same average guy. But i dont want to consume you or eat your flesh or lay my self over you or sleep naked with you. Darling you are the first woman who viewed me as amazing. You were surprised hearing my history present and opinions. You gave me that respect what i always wanted in a few minutes of our first meeting. 

Though initially when i saw you i wanted what you were intending me to do as you have seductive looks seriously and i had started imagining everything you know men will be men always. 

But then when you held my hand and you walked with me like my girlfriend and felt satisfied with what i told about me and even appreciated that then it i felt that i just need your support and friendly touch not sex or your naked body. 

I need a human being listening to a human being. I know you believe men are always there to fulfill their lust with women like you as you must have seen them all but i dont want that what insult and neglect i have been facing for so long i shall pass that to you. Then i would contradict my own thinking of this world and my own opionions about me. I am not that rich but i have a heart. 

If you dont intend to sleep with me then what will you do with me? Prayer?

Well if you want that we can start with it. Then we will talk to each other, i will talk about my life, my family, my past present and what i want and then you can tell me about your past, present, your family, anyone whom you love more than yourself, why you chose this career and what do you mean by love and men? Ya while talking i can lay my head in your lap if you allow as its your body so its your choice always. I have paid for time of yours not for your body. You always have the right to say me no if you feel uncomfortable. I dobt force anyone as i hate bing forced myself. " 

Rosy cried rather bursted after hearing these words for herself. She was shocked, puzzled and much more. She always believed that the men are hunters. They have one thing lust for sex with any woman evertime anytime. She believed they just see woman as a creature carrying milk in her breast meant to feed the lusty devil inside all men. But she was surprised by this boy. He was something else. 

She hugged him and he felt amazed. She held him for a bit long and said "Literally. You will talk the whole night like a gentleman does with a woman?" 

Yes darling. Though i liked your hug and i can take one more. She hugged him again. 

Then they talked and he laid himself in her lap. They both fell asleep but nothing happened that night except he got a new friend. 

She refused to take the balance 15$ and even returned the advance taken last night. She exchanged her no. With Stuart and Stuart and Rosy decided to keep Sunday as their day when they will talk about world, their feelings, unsaid things, in other words what they could not share with others they shared with each other. 

Stuart came to know that Rosy had a girl child named Betty. He saw his photo and was quite happy. She looks like you Rosy and you are too young to be a mother of such a child. Seriously. 

Rosy felt shy. 

Days passed. They never kissed but their bond grew stronger day by day. 

One fine day while at work Stuart got a call. It was from a hospital. The warden said that he was calling from Saint Thomas Hospital. He inquired whether Stuart knew a lady called Rosy to which Stuart agreed. Then he told that Rosy is in ICU and wants to meet Stuart. She was critical. 

Stuart was heartbroken. He decided to leave for the Hospital. His boss was nagging and was disgusted at taking break but he did. 

He reached Hospital and was informed that Rosy had a bad road accident and will not survive for more than few hours and in her last moments she wanted to talk to him. He went to her ward where she said "Stuart, come here my darling." She took his hands in hers and said "you are the most amazing person i ever met. In this whole world till this breathe that i am taking now i have seen only monsters. But that night was the moment when i believed for the first time that humanity still exists. 

You wanted a lip kiss right. Come i will give it as my last gift to u dear. 

Stuart was crying. He fell close to her legs and cried a lot. He was feeling ashamed of himself regarding that lip kiss talk. He just wanted her to stay to live. All those moments of laughter and smiles that he shared with her were roaming around his mind. He was totally shattered. He saw Rosy again with teary eyes and then he kissed her forehead isntead of her lips. A tear fell from her eyes. 

After a minute or so, seeing the pulse machine the doctor said "Stuart, i am really sorry, Miss Rosy is no more dear."
