When I sat down next to him, we were so close that to be more comfortable he placed his left arm across the back of the seat behind my shoulders. “T...ey are concerned in that they have not heard from you for several months. They are fine though, and hope that you are well. But, I do have some bad news for you. On the way here I was asked to take a message to Chilovo, and the couple that I met there were your grandparents Afanasi and Filipa. Your grandmother is dying from cancer, and they would. “No, thank you!” I said with a grim face.“Please, I am sorry in case I annoyed you in any manner!” She pleaded, “Please eat with me”. She motioned me to sit with her in the same berth and opened the tiffin carrier. The aroma of delicious food filled the cabin. I moved across to her berth. She served me and we ate together. In conversation she told me that her name was ‘Madhu’ and her husband ‘Sunil’ was a jeweler in Bangalore. They were married for just under one year. Sunil was a successful. ‘Let me just get the bottle.’ He returned and filled her glass. ‘Thank you. You’re so nice, but I should let you go home.’ He looked deeply into her eyes and answered, ‘I’d prefer to stay … if you’re interested.’ She’d never seen blue eyes so clear and piercing. ‘But, it’s – it’s Valentine’s …’ ‘For some.’ He studied her dark features. Despite the runny mascara and puffiness around her eyes, she was genuinely beautiful, he marveled. He assumed there had to be a story of lost love behind those. "Bingo! Just what I was hoping for. Trying to act unconcerned while my daughter stripped me naked was one of the hardest acting jobs I've had since I tried to convince Mary Lou I loved her so she would give me a little nookie, many years ago."Oh, Dad! Oh, my goodness! Oh! Just look at you. I mean, my goodness! Dad! Your penis is all big and red. I thought it would be smaller now, and less likely to be so hard. Oh, my. I don't know if I can do this."I began to wander around the room, stepping in.
