***My eyes struggled to adjust to the light, and something seemed to be flickering. The television was tuned to a local channel, there was a news stor... tuned to some accident scene."The car belonged to 18 year old Dan Pastie of San Mateo, a local highschool student, and DNA testing proved that his body was the one found at the bottom of the creek. He was believed to be drinking at the time." How do you like our cover-up? We planned it perfectly, you're dead, nobody will miss you now, and you. I felt a hand on my shoulder.‘What happened Bahu, why are you crying?’ I heard my father-in-law’s voice. I got up and dried tears from my face with pallu of my saree. Immediately, I realized my error. My FIL was watching me and I had exposed my breasts to him. I replaced the pallu and sat properly.‘Bahu, what’s wrong?’ he was sitting in the bed beside me. I got up and stood to keep some distance.‘Nothing, Babuji!’‘Tell me what it is. May be I can help you?’ he got up from the bed and came. We walked to school together and she was my pal. We were five years old and in kindergarten and were talking about her parents. She said she saw them kiss and they got all excited. I asked her, "About what?"She said, "I don't know. Daddy kissed mommy and they told me to go play with you and they went into the bedroom as I was walking out the door." Geez! I wonder what it did to them? You want to kiss me and see if anything happens?"She leaned over and we bumped lips."It didn't do nothing for. I had only goodmemories of him, but our mother prohibited any contact between him andme or my younger brother. No explanation was ever given. Because anymention of him sent our mother off in tears or a rage (usually both) wesimply never mentioned him.The funny thing is that we knew she spoke with him every now and again.I overheard sometimes. Clearly, he was asking her about us. She wouldgive him a report, but the calls always ended with her in tears. Iguessed that he was in a new.
