I waited and moments later, Aamna opened the door. Damn, the whole room was filled with Cigarette smoke, windows open, AC delivering air to its maximu... capacity, Priya hiding the Cigarette by one hand and holding her left knee with the other.” Care to explain!”, I said with Parental authority. And waited.“Sam. . .actually. . .”, I stopped Aamna in the mid-way.Priya lifted her face, beautiful brown eyes then filled with pearl like droplets of tears. Face reddened and lips trembling.” Sam, I. .” She interuppted me , “So you are just saying that i am not hot enough to erect a man” After a moment of silence she started laughing.In my mind i was thinkimg is she flirting with me.I decided to take a step forward, I said , “DO you miss your Husband?” SUddenly she stopped laughing and next moment i realized she is sheding tears. OMG she look terrible while crying. I said, ” sorry mam i didnt wanna hurt your feelings”. Aditi sobing , “I miss him ,sobb sobb , every day in these 15 years. YOu. Move it to the other side of the city where the women and children are gathering. Set the radio up using the nearest generator for power.”I looked up at the sky above us wondering how long we had, “Set up a relay with the satellites. When the Cariss start to orbit, use the satellites to send the signal, it should get through.”Mr Perry nodded as he finally understood and several of the men around us grinned. I looked around, “We need to hold the Cariss here. They always send in their best. All the way home I thought about that wonderful experience with this strange man. How he had so passionately made love to me and how unabashedly sexual I was that day. I was shy about undressing in front of my husband sometimes, I recalled, when I wasn’t feeling very beautiful which was most of the time. And today I dropped my clothes in front of a complete stranger without hesitation, with pride and confident sensuality. I had changed forever and Jason was a wonderful and splendid part of that.
