Resumo de Beware! Why This Woman Smiles For No Reason!-6

That night sleep deserted Mihir. He felt, he was caving in. A sudden collapse! A rainbow had emerged in the heart! A sense of gratitude! Wonder and anticipation!He never thought that his Mumbai life would begin on such an exhilarating and stimulating note. Such nice people and such tender hearts!He had heard many a stories,"The life there is so mechanical....people don't have time for each other .....you don't know about your neighbours....everyone is running about..." etc. But, entirely opposite was the case with him. Right from the moment he arrived, he had received boundless affection from Mashi Seth and Mohini.He stared at the ceiling and even in that darkness,he could see the face of hundreds of Mohinis, who smiled at him. He felt, Mohini was present everywhere in his room. Smiling blissfully and pronouncing, "You are tall, healthy and handsome with broad shoulders..." and once she said," You look like a Gandharva from the celestial world!" How often she repeated that! How sweet! How striking were her good looks and charms!She paid lot of attention to him! Such understanding and maturity!...and she looked so young!What a lovely smile!The praise!The special praise!The passionate praise!The heady praise!The poisonous praise!Sshe had created in his heart a hot, volcanic spring of a thousand jets of desires!---------------------------------------------"Aunty, I thought you forgot about the milk today."The time was 10.30 p.m.She was late by more than an hour. An uneasy time for Mihir. Relief, when she arrived! End of mental torture...impatient minutes!Normally, he would switch off the light and go to sleep at ten, but he could not do it!What could be the reason for aunty's non-arrival?"I knew," she said self-consciously, "You would wait for me..wait for the milk. I constantly observed the burning ight in your room...""...but aunty...""...please...I don't like this aunty business. Do you think that I am that old?" she pierced his mind, with that meaningful stare, after piercing his heart.""No, not at all aunty...oh! I am sorry...you are so young and pretty..." he said thus! Mihir did not know how he summoned courage to say so!"No woman will tell you the veriable date of birth, but let me reveal it to you...My age is thirty three years and four days. A day before you arrived, it was my thirty-fourth birthday," she said enthusiastically."Happy birthday aunty...""You naughty boy...again aunty..." She took his hand and passionately squeezed it."Then....""The tall, broad-shouldered, handsome and healthy young man will call me Moha, okay?.....Now, can I sit here for a while? Tomorrow is Sunday and Mashi Seth has gone to Pune for business...will return after two days...and now, I have a question for you...."Mohini continued with her seductive arguments. "Yes, Moha.."She drew close to him and kept her one hand on his sporty lap. She then whispered,"What will you do on completion of your studies in Mumbai...?" Mihir observed her tempting, oozing-with-love-moisture lips,before answering the query."That.is not an immediate question.But, one interesting point, Moha. I have in Mumbai just for some days... I have come here for the first time in my life..and I like the city. For a couple of days, I felt strange among the Mumbai students. My ego bothered me....I now realise, though I am a University Rank holder, the students here are so versatile and knowledgeable that each one of them deserves to be a rank holder!" he said as if he made a confession, willingly."Yes, many agree on that point. Munbai is very unique. Only ingress here and the city is swellig rapidly," she said positively."But, frankly, my father takes decisions forme. He won't let me settle here permanently. He would find a job for me at the appropriate time in Delhi. He has lots of influence and he counts on my merit-record.""You will do a job?", she asked scornfully."My father does. Why not me?" Mihir was already on the defensive!"But, should we not always willing to leark at Mashi Seth... this is Mumbai....the city of chances and golden oportunities. Here, most of the people bounce from job to job, for better prospectus, to become rich fast. If you know something more about him, you will realise that business is not all that bad.""No, it is not bad. But, one has to be adventurous for business. I know nothing about it.""The tall boy is adventurous!""I haven't discussed the issue of business with my father anytime....why,he is not a business man at all.""What is your father's monthly salary?" she asked softly."I think, it is about rupees twenty thousand."Sshe laughed into cramps and said," Multiplky it by ten. That's what Mashi Seth earns in a month. May be more !Your father's two month's salary is my pocket money. Demand more and he takes out crisp notes!", she said proudly."Pardon me, what is Mashi Seth's education?""Frankly I don't know and I don't care. He says, he is VIII std. failed, but I think he is I std. pass. He ponders, befoe 'constructing' his signature. But, he has a very capable business brain. I married him only for his money. Nothing great abut his bearded face. He looks like a dacoit from the Chambal Valley!" she said blandly, with a sense of scorn."You married him?"
