One hand at the door handle and one hand in an attempt to search something at the back. I asked him innocently, “What, kaka?”He continued looking ...nto my eyes and slowly placed his hand on my neck. He said, “Babyji, the hook of the necklace is falling off. Let me help. I’ll put it back again.”He leaned over in putting up the necklace again. I could feel his breath over my shoulders. I was never this close to any man before. He slowly moved his hands to my shoulders from the back of my neck.He. As they both were new to company and its policies. I always tried to help them in everything, soon within a few days we three became very good friends. As I was very young to them I used to respect them a lot. To be true I was very innocent and simple guy. I was virgin then and didn’t knew about sex completely. As I was staying all alone both INDU and NIDHI being my friends were concerned about my food and other stuff. Nidhi was newly married to a Major in army and her husband was posted in. “Oh shit!” she muttered under her breath. Reaching out, she touched his arm. “No, Jerry, I’m the one who should apologize. You’re right, if we can’t talk, who the hell can.”The look on his face softened and he turned back to face her. Nodding, he pointed at the empty stool. “I shouldn’t have been like that. Please, sit down.”“Give me a moment. I was here to meet with some friends. Let me tell them I’ll be with you for a bit.”Jerry watched his ex-wife walk away, sashaying through the restaurant,. ”I smiled as Tori tugged me away to go meet some other friends. Over my shoulder I said, “You’re right.”Apparently, Tori had done a good job of protecting her relationship with me and the family. None of her friends really knew who I was or my status. I expected the interchange we’d had at the door to propagate through the room, but fortunately it didn’t. Consequently, I simply became Mark, Tori’s close friend who was serving as a surrogate male family member since her father had vanished years.
