Whisper of Desire cont.. chapter 6-8

Chapter 6: 

          Crossing Boundaries

The warm glow of the wedding lights had long faded, but the memory of Reba's intimate dance with Rik lingered like a flickering flame. As she lay awake in the silent hours of the night, her heart raced with a mix of exhilaration and guilt. The forbidden touch of his hands on her waist, the intensity of his gaze, and the undeniable connection they had shared had shattered the carefully constructed walls around her desires she constructed .

Reba turned to her side, mindful not to disturb the fitful sleep of her husband, Abani, whose labored breathing filled the room. She had always been the dutiful wife, the devoted caregiver, and beloved mother but now her sense of duty was at war with the yearning that had awakened within her. Rishabh, her beloved nephew, had become the object of her love,longings, and she could no longer ignore the weight of her emotions.

Slipping out of bed, Reba made her way to the kitchen, needing the solace of a warm cup of tea to calm her restless mind. As she waited for the water to boil, she replayed the events of the evening, the dance, the stolen glances, and the moment when their lips had brushed ,her fingers touched alo his hard bulge. A shiver ran down her spine, and she chastised herself for indulging in such thoughts.

"I'm a married woman, I am his aunt" she whispered into the quiet of the night, her voice barely audible. "I can't... I shouldn't… I must not "

But the truth was, she couldn't deny the connection she felt with Rik . It was more than just familial affection; there was a spark, a deep understanding that transcended the boundaries of their relationship. And in that moment of vulnerability, Reba had allowed herself to be swept away by the intensity of their bonding.

As the kettle whistled, Reba poured the steaming water into her favorite mug, watching as the tea leaves unfurled and released their fragrant aroma. She took a sip, savoring the warmth that spread through her body, but it did little to quell the turmoil within. She knew she had to confront the reality of her situation, the consequences of her actions, and the impact it would have on her family.

Rishabh, too, was grappling with the aftermath of their encounter. He lay awake in his own bed, staring at the ceiling, his mind racing with conflicting emotions. The guilt of betraying Moushumi, his long-term girlfriend, warred with the overwhelming desire he felt for his mejo mami. He had always admired his aunt, but the depth of his feelings had taken him by surprise, leaving him in a state of emotional turmoil.

Rishabh replayed the moments of their dance, the way mejo mami had looked at him, the way her body had molded to his. He could still feel the warmth of her skin, the softness of her curves, and the electricity that had passed between them. It was as if a dam had burst, unleashing a flood of emotions he had long tried to suppress.

Turning to his side, Rishabh reached for his phone, his fingers hovering over Moushumi's number. He knew he needed to be honest with her, to confess the truth about his feelings for Reba, but the thought of losing her filled him with dread. Moushumi had been his constant, his anchor, and the idea of betraying her trust was almost too much to bear.

With a heavy sigh, Rishabh put down his phone and closed his eyes, trying to get himself to sleep. But the image of Reba, her eyes shining with a mixture of desire and guilt, kept him awake, tormenting him with the weight of his choices.

Back in the kitchen, Reba had finished her tea, the warmth of the liquid doing little to soothe the turmoil within. She knew she needed to speak with Rishabh, to confront the reality of what had happened between them, but the very thought filled her with a sense of dread.

"What have I done?" she whispered, her hands trembling slightly as she placed the mug in the sink.

Reba made her way back to the bedroom, her steps heavy with the burden of her guilt. As she slipped under the covers, Abani stirred, his eyes fluttering open.

"Reba?" he murmured, his voice weak and raspy.

"Shh, it's alright, my love," Reba replied, gently brushing a stray lock of hair from his forehead. "Go back to sleep."

Abani nodded, his eyes closing once more, and Reba felt a pang of guilt wash over her. How could she have allowed herself to be drawn into this forbidden desire when her husband was fighting for his life? She had vowed to be by his side, to cherish and honor him, and yet her heart had betrayed him.

Tears welled in Reba's eyes as she reached out to caress Abani's cheek, a silent apology for the turmoil that threatened to tear her apart. In that moment, she knew she had to find the strength to confront her feelings, to make a choice that would not only impact her own life but the lives of those she loved most.

As the first rays of dawn began to filter through the curtains, Reba made a silent resolution. She would speak with Rik, lay bare the truth of her emotions, and together, they would navigate the treacherous waters of their forbidden desire. Whatever the outcome, she owed it to herself, to Abani, and to Rishabh to face the consequences of her actions with courage and honesty.

Chapter 7

           Secrets and Lies

Abani needed to be hospitalized. Everything was arranged by Rishav, including all bills, payments Medical expenses and even running Reba's family smoothly .Reba had no other options but to accept Rik's part of salary. Her Bank balance almost came to an end Rik earns a high salary in lakhs 

 The air in the small hospital ( it is a south city nursing home ) room felt thick with tension as Reba sat beside Abani's bedside, her hand gently clasping his. His once vibrant spirit had dimmed, the ravages of his illness etching deep lines on his face. Reba's heart ached, watching the man she had loved for so long slowly slip away.

Abani's labored breathing filled the silence, punctuated only by the steady beep of the machines monitoring his vital signs. Reba's mind drifted to the events of the past few weeks, the intimate encounter with Rik at the wedding still searing her memory. She had tried to push those feelings aside, to focus solely on caring for her husband, but the guilt and desire continued to gnaw at her.

As if sensing her turmoil, Abani stirred, his eyes fluttering open. "Reba," he whispered, his voice weak. "How are you holding up, my love?"

Reba forced a smile, squeezing his hand gently. "I'm doing alright, Abani. The children and I are managing, thanks to Rik's help." The mere mention of her nephew's name sent a shiver down her spine.

Abani nodded slowly, his gaze searching Reba's face. "Rik has been a godsend, hasn't he? I'm grateful to have him in our lives." A small smile tugged at the corners of his lips. "He's a good boy, that one. I know he cares for you deeply and will care too I hope so"

Reba felt her heart skip a beat, her mind racing with the implications of Abani's words. Did he sensed about the growing intimacy between them? She swallowed hard, her grip on his hand tightening. "Yes, he's been a wonderful support. I don't know what we'd do without him."

Abani's eyes softened, and he lifted a trembling hand to caress Reba's cheek. "My dear, I know you've been through so much. I want you to know that I'm at peace with whatever happens. All I want is for you and our children to be taken care of by Rik"

Reba felt the tears welling in her eyes, and she leaned into his touch, savoring the warmth of his skin against hers. "Abani, don't talk like that. You're going to be fine. We still have so much life ahead of us."

He shook his head slowly, his gaze unwavering. "Reba, I'm not a fool. I know my time is very limited. I need you to promise me that you'll allow Rik to help you, follow him to be there for you and our children to be with you . He's a good man, and I trust him a lot . You love him also"

Reba's heart sank, the weight of Abani's words crushing her. How could she tell him the truth about her feelings for Rik ? The guilt threatened to overwhelm her, but she forced herself to nod, her voice barely above a whisper. "I promise you, Abani. Rik will be there for us only.i shall make it I promise you "

As Abani drifted back into a restless sleep, Reba allowed the tears to flow freely down her cheeks. The web of secrets and lies she had woven was becoming increasingly tangled, and she knew that the time for reckoning was fast approaching.

Across town, Rishabh sat in his apartment, his head in his hands. Moushumi had just left, her eyes filled with hurt and betrayal. He had finally confessed the truth about his feelings for Reba, and the fallout had been devastating.

"How could you, Rik?" Moushumi had cried loud, her voice laced with anguish. "All this time, you've been in love with your own aunt? What kind of sick, twisted game have you been playing with me? You are perverted chhi.Rik chhi"

Rishabh had tried to explain, to plead for her understanding, but Moushumi had refused to listen. "We're done, Rik. I can't be more with someone who has feelings for another woman, let alone his own family member. I want nothing to do with you or your twisted perverted desires." You are suffering from auidupas complexity .Go to psychiatrist 

The finality in her words had cut Rishabh like a knife, and he had watched helplessly as she stormed out, slamming the door behind her. Now, alone in the silence of his apartment, the weight of his actions threatened to crush him.

He thought of Reba, his mejo mamima, the woman who had been a constant source of comfort and support throughout his life. The woman he had grown to love in ways he knew were wrong, yet he couldn't deny the pull of his feelings. He had tried long to fight it, to bury it deep within, but the encounter at the wedding house had shattered his resolve.

Rishabh knew that he had to make a choice – to continue down this path of forbidden desire or to walk away and try to salvage what was left of his relationship with Moushumi. But the thought of losing Reba, of never feeling her touch or hearing her gentle voice, was almost too much to bear.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the room, Rishabh made a decision. He would have to confront Reba, to lay bare the truth of his feelings and the consequences of their actions. The future was uncertain, but he knew that he couldn't keep living in the shadows, torn between the two women who had captured his heart.

With a deep breath, Rishabh rose from his chair and headed out the door, determined to face the truth, no matter the cost.

Back at the hospital, Reba sat vigil by Abani's bedside, her mind racing with the weight of her secrets. She knew that she couldn't keep the truth from him much longer, that she owed him honesty, even if it meant shattering the life they had built together.

As the night deepened, Reba felt a familiar presence in the room. Turning, she found Rishabh standing in the doorway, his eyes filled with a mixture of concern and longing.

"Rik," she whispered, her voice barely audible. "What are you doing here?"

Rishabh stepped closer, his gaze locked with hers. "Mejo mami , we need to talk. There's something I need to tell you."

Reba's heart pounded in her chest, and she glanced nervously at Abani's sleeping form. "Not here, Rishabh please. Not now.please we can talk later however"

"I can't wait any longer, mejo Mami," Rishabh said, his voice low and urgent. "I've made a mess of things, and I need your help to fix it."

Reba's mind raced, her thoughts a whirlwind of emotions. She knew that the time for secrets and lies had come to an end, and that the path forward would be fraught with uncertainty and pain. But as she looked into Rik’s eyes, she knew that she could no longer deny the pull of her own heart.

With a deep breath, Reba nodded, her gaze resolute. "Alright, Rik . Tell me what's happened to you."

The stage was set for a confrontation that would test the very foundations of their family, and Reba braced herself for the consequences that were to come.

One Morning After Crossing Boundaries

The morning light filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a soft glow in Reba's poshly decorative bedroom. Reba and Rishav were in bed covered with a coloured bed sheet . Reba's head rested on the bare muscular chest of Rshav .Her open hairs spreaded on and around Rishav and on bed. Her both voluptuous inelastic round breasts rested on Rishav's chest wall. Last night Abani's health deteriorated a lot in the nursing home . He coughed much blood and blood transfusion was arranged by Rik as doctor hurried and gave requisition to collect AB negative blood from central blood Bank maniktala,driving his car by him . Reba was afraid as Abani first coughed huge blood from lungs called hemoptysis. When Abani was stable at 3am night, Rik dropped Reba in her house. She did not allow Rik to drive back to his apartment.Rik however wanted to return back in his apartment after dropping Reba at home. They were in nursing home before Abani's cot till night rolled one AM . Returning to Reba's home it was three past half a night . She didn't permit Rik back in his apartment with another one hour drive.She forced Rik to spend the rest of night in Abani's room and the first time it happened though Rik was damn tired. Rishav suddenly approached her that late night with lust, when she was changing her nursing home dress in her room, she hesitated a lot and pleaded him about Abani's conditions and her tiredness. Her children slept by that time in their rooms. She had no option as Rik suddenly lift her off floor on his arms,walked to Abani's bedroom and dropped her in bed, closed door finally to follow Rishav in Abani's bedroom where she responded to rishav and for the first time . Rishav opened his zip standing infront her wearing only underpant, he sat beside her, exhibited before her eyes thick black cobra . Reba's eyes widened , saw the thick jungles from where cobra's fang swung for the first time and she shivered, electrified and whispered “Rik what are you doing? it is sin for both of us. Can you really do it with me? With Your aunt ? “ “ you need it mejomami for your own sake ”. Rik whispered" I'm offering you for the first time in my life to use as you do wish to use . It is for you now . Believe me, I didn't give it to anyone, Not even to Moushumi. Reba stared at fang .it was so seducing for her.Rick is more than a perfect strong man , more than a man she dreamt Reba within next ten fifteen minutes was fully seduced and couldn't not utter a further single word when Rik stood naked embraced her strongly with him she melted on his chest brushing her lip on his lip constantly and Rik whispered “ no more wait please mejomami you are mine today. only for mine I cannot wait more ” 

‘Rik are you sure ? ’ 

She stirred, her eyes slowly fluttering open as the memories of the previous night came rushing back in her brain. A wave of great shyness, emotions and unknown pleasure washed over her - a mix of extreme exhilaration, mixed with guilt, shyness and a deep sense of longing. For the first time some other man( may be he was her nephew ) besides her husband's fingers played like strings of sitar with her half naked body and around her recent shaved & cleaned private parts and it was heavenly feeling to her she couldn't resist Rik, she felt several times orgasms , as his two fingers reached often in her G spot , in the semi lit room, she widened apart her thighs legs , she shivered, she repeatedly kissed Rik she also forgot ailing her husband Abani in nursing home had hemoptysis,her two children sleeping in other room with their grand ma papiya devi , present Abani,’s old mother in her home.She also silently, actively kissed Rik deep and deeper, took over control of foreplay, played with her tongue pushing deep inside his mouth, swallowing his saliva snaked along with him , whispered in his ear of her, ecstasy ,encouraged him to proceed , guided him, gave bites Rik on his neck, on his shoulder, arms, chest. Her nails scratched on his thick back muscles in between scapula, her elegent circular pelvis rhythmically jerked with Rik , her private inside filled up with watery mucus secretion and what not.after long time and some years she was in stairs to heaven and when ended she thanked a lot Rik for crossing the boundaries 

Rik lay beside her, his face now peaceful in slumber. Reba's heart raced as she replayed the events that had unfolded just a few hours ago. Rik is so nice in foreplay and to give her heavenly pleasure every moment last night she forgot the test of it. The way their half naked bodies had intertwined, the urgency of their deep kisses, the vulnerability they had shared - it all felt both thrilling heavenly pleasure and next terrifying too for Reba 

Carefully, Reba slipped out of her bed, mindful not to disturb Rik’s sleep. She wrapped herself in a robe and stepped out onto the balcony of the room , taking in the quiet morning air. The municipality town below was just beginning to stir, a perfect reflection of the turmoil within her.

As Reba gazed out, her mind raced with a thousand thoughts. What had they done last night? How could she have allowed all this to happen with Rik ? How was she lost with Rik embrace? Sense of Guilt gnawed at her, reminding her of the vows she had made to Abani, her husband, who was battling a terminal illness and yesterday night coughed a lot of blood in the nursing home. And Rik- her beloved nephew, whom she had always cherished as family members. Now, their relationship has crossed an unimaginable line.

Reba's hands trembled as she tried to make sense of it all. She had always been the dutiful wife and mother, the one who put the needs of her family before her own. But last night, in the secrecy of that hidden alcove, she had succumbed to a desire that was so powerful she couldn't resist her more to sleep with Rik and consequence was predestined , it had shattered her carefully constructed facade.

A soft knock on the bedroom door startled Reba, and she hurried back inside, her heart pounding. Rik was stirring, his eyes slowly opening as he took in his surroundings. For a moment, they simply stared at each other, the weight of their actions hanging in the air.

"Reba," Rishabh whispered, his voice laced with a mix of guilt and longing. "What did we do last night ?I hope you enjoyed that"

Reba felt her throat tighten, the words she wanted to say failing her. She had no easy answers for it , no simple solutions to the mess they had created. All she knew was that the connection they had forged was undeniable, even if it went against everything they had been taught.

"I... I don't know, probably “yes " Reba finally replied, her voice barely above a whisper. "But we can't undo what's been done already."

Rishabh sat up, running a hand through his tousled hair. "I'm so sorry, Reba. I never meant for this to happen. I've betrayed Moushumi, and I've betrayed you , betrayed.mom.your family too"

Reba felt a pang of guilt at the mention of Moushumi, Rishabh's fiancée- an architect engineer classmate of Rik . She had always liked the young woman, admiring her confidence and independence. But now, their relationship was irreparably damaged, a casualty of the forbidden desires that had consumed Reba and Rik,Rik told her last night during foreplay 

"What are we going to do?" Rishabh asked, his eyes pleading for guidance.

Reba sighed, her own uncertainty reflecting in her expression. "I don't really know, Rik . All I know is that I can't ignore more what happened between us last night. But I also can't bear the thought of hurting Abani or our children. They're my whole world."

Rishabh reached out and gently took Reba's hand, his touch sending a further shiver down her spine. "I'm here for you, Reba. Whatever happens, we'll figure it out together okay."

Reba squeezed his hand, finding comfort in his words, even as the weight of their situation threatened to overwhelm her. She knew that the path ahead would be arduous, fraught with difficult choices and the potential for heartbreak. But in that moment, with Rik by her side, she felt a glimmer of hope that they could navigate this treacherous terrain. Rishav extended his two hands., Reba hesitated a little and silently stepped in between his hands Rishav gently kissed on her cheek.she flushed red

A sudden knock at the door startled them both, and they quickly pulled them apart, their hands falling to their sides. Reba's heart raced as she moved to open the door, her mind racing with the possibilities of who might be on the other side.

To her relief, it was Aadhya, Reba's eldest child. The 13-year-old girl stood in the hallway, her brow furrowed with concern. "Mom, is everything okay? I heard voices."

Reba forced a reassuring smile, her mind quickly shifting to her role as a mother. "Everything's fine, darling. Rishabhda and I were just talking. Come, let's go start breakfast."

Aadhya's eyes darted between Reba and Rishabh, but she nodded and followed her mother down the hall, unaware of the turmoil that had unfolded in the bedroom.

As Reba moved to the kitchen, Rishabh remained behind, his gaze fixed on the spot where Reba had stood. The weight of their actions was palpable, and he knew that the consequences of their desire would soon come to light. With a deep sigh, he rose from the bed and began to gather his clothes, steeling himself for the difficult conversations that lay ahead.
