Ko thanks bolte hue bahar aane lagi,phir main mummy ko lekar ghar aa gaya,mummy ke face par aaj khushi thi aur ho bhi kyun naa,itne dinon tak unhone t...kleef sahi hai,phir mummy shayad kisi se whatsapp par chat kar rahi thi kyunki reply aane ka ringtone waisa hi tha,jab chatting khatam hone ke baad mummy fresh hone bathroom mein gayi toh maine unke mobile ka whatsapp check kiya,mummy uss time dad se baat kar rahi thi, conversation yeh raha,mummy-“Harry(my father’s nickname by mummy) aaj main. The men seemed to ignore me, I could hear chairs being moved, then cards being shuffled. I was tied to the chair with my cotton covered crotch (I'm sure they could se my pubic hair through it) showing and they were going to play poker."Five card stud, one eyed jacks are wild. The first hand is for the blouse." I heard Mark announce. I listened as bets were announced chips were tossed onto the table and new cards were asked for. Finally I heard a trite 'read them and weep' from a voice I did not. I can’t tell you how to do that, you will work it out for your self in time, but it is a necessity, otherwise you become a slave to the machine, rather than the other way around.” She paused again and looked at the top of Robert’s head and tapped the table top to get his attention. “I felt the same way years ago, working the street and then the hotels. As a way of making money, it was fine, but I was lonely. Until, that is, I found my boyfriend and created a separate life, totally independent. Darnell, I have taken a lover, and I am going to keep on seeing him. I had to tell you. I can't go on cheating on you like I have for these past several weeks."I'll understand if you want a divorce," she said.I looked at her in such shock that I think she was beginning to laugh, but she checked herself when the tears started clouding my vision. Well, I guess she still did have some feeling for me, after all. "What?" I choked. It was all I could think of to say."I know this is a shock. I don't.
