I was so happy being with her and so I proposed her to which she replied with love you too after 10 long days. Then we started going to places, movies... restaurant and long drives. It was easy for her to hang out with me because she use to stay in hostel as she was from nearby town. And one day during some frequently occurring holidays whole girls hostel was empty and ma girl was feeling lonely without her roommates. To ma bad luck she fell ill because of food poisoning, I was worried how she. I held her hand and said I was sorry. She told me who would take care of her as my father was away and I never pay any attention to her. I jokingly said wish I was married to her then she would not be having such problems, she just said ,achha??. I packed and left for college and all day thought of her.I came home late around 7pm and I am surprised to see all the lights on and my mother was dressed up in a bright red saree, with all make up and bangles. She asked me kaise ho and when I looked. "And they can't even see my legs!"She drove us to Greenville and took an exit. She delivered us to her parents' house without any difficulty. "It's a different ride than my Mustang but Sweet Adeline is so smooth to drive that I feel relaxed." She smiled at me. "It's time to go in and face my 'rents." Her smile turned into a grin.We didn't make it to the front door before her parents were outside greeting us. I got a hug from her mother and my hand shaken by her father. Her father led the way. I could hardly wait to thrash them.Finally, it was time. I selected my thinnest, lightest cane from my collection. This one is three feet long and stings like a nest of hornets, but it bruises the least of all my rods. It would be a salutatory introduction to the cane. I was anxious to see Amy's reaction."Touch your toes," I ordered, fully aware of the dramatic import of my words. For the rest of Amy's life, those words would carry power, reminding her of this instant, of how she felt, naked.
