Everybody here knows about Savita. You must really talk about her a lot”“Haha.. She is my favorite bahu after all. Can’t a sasur dote on his bah... a little?” “Now, you two go to your room and freshen upAnd bahu, pack up some clothes for an overnight trip”Ashok was surprised “Pack? We just arrived? Where are we going now?”“There’s a temple in the next village, where new brides go to pray for a happy marriage.Since it is Savita’s first time here, I’m going to take her there. We’ll be back by. "This is what all proper slave girls wear," I said smiling at Brittany. I tugged the leash and Jennifer responded by sinking to her knees beside me. Brittany stared at her young friend then looked at me. She looked down at the sand and moved her feet back and forth to make a small pile."I came here to ask to stay with you too," she said staring downward. She blushed. She looked up at me. "Kimberly is such a bitch, I can't take it anymore! I miss you guys."I gave her an understanding smile."You. .. ‘cause my dad was an officer.” When Trip still didn’t get it, I explained, “Gunny’s a Marine.”“Still? At his age?”“Well, no ... and yes,” I said.He gave me a blank look.“Marines never really retire. Maybe on paper, but not in their hearts. Once a Marine, always a Marine. You know?”He nodded.“So Gunny calls me ‘Mister’ out of respect for my dad. I know it sounds weird, but...” I shrugged. “It’s not.”Much to my surprise, Trip grinned. I started to bristle, but then his grin turned into a full. She replied that there was very little she wouldn't do to help make me comfortable and suggested that I ask for her if there was anything that I wanted. I picked up on that and asked 'What, anything ?' She smiled sweetly and repeated "Anything' in such a way as to make me smile - but I thought that my imagination was running away with me. She left the room and I went back to reading the paper. A couple of days later and my recovery was coming along well - although I still had a broken leg to.
