I am not Mahatma by Harshavardhan C (i am reading a book TXT) 📕

you a human or beast man? Why are you always comparing humans with animals?”

“There are some novel things in my comparison darling. No specie can have such sex as like dogs. And do you know as to how many times in a day the lion crosses the lioness?”

This time she was looking at him differently.

“Tell me whether you know or not dear? Of course it is the universal record”

She was feeling shy to see straight into his eyes but she was hearing curiously.

“The lion crosses the lioness more than180 times in a day means within 24 hours”

“What? “ She thought it was a false statement.

“Are you suspecting me dear? But I remember that I have seen it either in National Geographical channel or in Animal Planet”

“Now I confirm that you are spoiling me both physically and mentally also”

“You are lucky and you should thank me, as I am trying to break all records if you cooperate with me dear?”

“Shut up”

“That is what I am doing“He locked her lips, one with a sweet kiss keeping her mouth shut and the second one of course every married couple knew it.

******************************

“What do our colleagues think about us Arju?” While dressing herself Honey asked him.

“Well, of late you have raised a good point. Everybody thought we have been in dating since we have joined in medicine. Truly speaking most of the rural youth in our state doesn’t know what does dating really mean. By chance if anybody says that he or she knows it we shouldn’t trust them. It means that they are perfect liars. In our society, customs and traditions never allow the boys and girl going for dating you know”

“Then what is the truth in between you and me when we are in dating Arju?”

“The truth is that we both shared the ice cream cup, but not even the lower lips”

“Don’t pretend Arju and we have many more sweet kisses”

“Of course we have sweet kiss with upper lips, but I didn’t have hot kiss with your lower lips”

“What?”

“Yes I am clear I haven’t cross you anytime while we are in dating”

“It you are using indecent language, please mind your language Arju”

“I have used very polite language dear; otherwise in slang I should say that during dating I haven’t fuck you”

“Will you please shut your mouth?”

“Truth is very sour dear”

“But for me dating means love forever between the fiancé and the fiancée till we are put together with wedlock”

“Oh beautiful, are you enlightening me alone or the whole world regarding dating dear?”

She looked at him seriously.

“Okay I agree with you and in your understanding dating means we have been going on understanding each other as how deeply we are in love with one another. And to get confirmed each one of us ask the other again and again as “I love you, do you love me?”, whenever we come across or come closure or talk on mobile or chat through tab---“He is continuing. Colours changed in her face.

“Normally, we don’t’ maintain personal diaries, since we are already over loaded with our academic books. But, once we fall in love, we run after book shops to purchase autographs, telephone books and diaries. Of course, every one of us knows the purpose for which they are purchased. We being passionate lovers purchase diaries, autographs, and telephone books only to collect our mobile numbers and to obtain autographs only to inscribe in our dairies as “I love you, I love you, I love you”, just like what the retired people choose to write “Ramakoti” in their personal diaries (scribing the name of Lord Rama, one core times to express their love and devotion towards Lord Rama)

“Please stop it Arjun”

“Okay I stopped”

“I am sorry; please don’t belittle our customs and traditions Arju. Whether you know it or not, dating is not practice in our society. Contrary there is virgin test for both the bride and the bride groom in our society. In fact all of us whosoever dwell in this society shall pass the test whatsoever it might be?

Before preparing a girl as a bride they give blows with a chutney pounder by married women over her lower abdomen in the presence of priests, relatives, neighbours and friends without any hesitation even in the presence of servants. Their belief is that if the bride is pregnant before her marriage she will get aborted. It means the bride’s character is questionable. If nothing is happened means, it is presumed that she is a virgin girl” She is continuing.

“Interesting” He couldn’t controlled his feelings and said as chorus

“And more ridiculous rather painful thing to note is that in the betrothal, the bridegroom’s mother and sisters will see in camera the top to bottom of the bride, both her front and back to rule out the fact that there are no secondary’s such as hair, etc., on her body, chin, lips, thighs, and hands. These tests are conducted to make sure that the bride does not have any skin deceases, bow legs, pylori, washer man’s hands and giant foot”

“But you haven’t given me the chance to examine your’s before marriage”

“What nonsense are you talking? Do you suspect me? Anyway you need not worry and I passed all the tests as your mum presented to me sleeveless blouse and sari to wear means, it is very much understood to every bride that it was nothing but cheek up and certifying me as a suitable bride for you to marry”

“But you haven’t disclosed another important test dear”

“What?” “Of course please don’t misunderstand me as it is not uncommon in some sects that the bride is taken to a lady doctor by the mother of the bridegroom for physical check up. And the bride will be subjected to various tests for confirming her virginity. The lady doctor will check up the breasts of the bride to gauge whether they are milking or intact, later her lower abdomen to make sure that if white scars are not there means the bride has not conceived and delivered. In few clans the bridegroom’s mother and married sisters will take the poor bride to their family doctor to get her virginity checked, i.e., to confirm whether her hymen is intact or not, which of course is a final test to accept her or not”

“Stop it Arju and I think they are all your doubts” She reacted sharply.

“I am sorry that I have understood the humiliation, but I am helpless as it is the sexism in our society and the plight of the some of our bride in certain clans in our civilized society. And of course, the bridegroom also cannot escape from discrete enquiries about his character and conduct and habits if any”

“Okay Mr. Arjun, I straight put it to you that what you said is really in practice? Or is it your creation only? Or are you suggesting to the bridegrooms afresh?”

“Sorry dear, it is not my creation, but it is very much prevailing in our society here and there” While speaking also he tried to screw her.

“Don’t touch me” She said in angry.

“Why dear?”

“It is too much Arjun”

She was very much tired by both hearing his stories and also with his nonstop romance.

“Dear I have forgotten to tell you that there is again a final test for our virginity by our junior and senior colleagues and of course by the neighbours too”

“Please Arjun; don’t try to divert my attention and I understood that your are trying to have further go’s with me” She exposed him.

She was suffering from sweet pain of rapture of the skin over her both lips due to his over excitement and emotional play.

“No dear I am speaking facts only. The very next day of our nuptials, our under garments will be taken away by the washerwoman only to facilitate the battalion including our relatives, neighbours and friends who will be eagerly waiting outside to check up your petticoat and my under wear for finding out blood stains if any to make sure and confirm that weather it was our first sexual enjoyment or not?” He tried to enlighten her.

“Please don’t talk rubbish Arju”

“Okay dear let us see what happens in the morning?”He said and once again held her tight and continued his romance with her in spite of her resistance.

***********************

Arjun somehow tried and finally won over Honey.

They both had a sleepless night.

In the morning, Arjun asked Honey quite innocently.

“Do you know why the washer-woman has taken your petticoat, my shot and my underwear quite speedily? Can you say what for? And what the outside jokers do with them? What will be their reaction?” He reminded her Indian traditions and customs rather smilingly.

She looked at him seriously.

“I am sure that the outside idiots want to check your under garments dear” He said confidently.

“No, not at all and I think it is not the outside idiots but it is the brain child of the one and only inside idiot who is more curious to know about my virginity. Mr. Arjun for your information I have crossed thirty and I think by now you might have experienced my weight also. I am 75 K.G plus with my poor height of five feet eight inches only. I do admit honestly that now my body sizes are certainly not 34-26-36, as they were so when I was in between 16yrs and 26yrs. But now I have put on both bone and muscular weight besides considerable fat also due to various reasons, certainly not what you both the idiots suspect me.

My upper started from the growth of apple size to mango and now to papaya. I doubt they will even exceed watermelon in size, if you go on frisking them bitterly” She said seriously.

Arjun laughed at her. She threw a pillow at his face in a bit of shy and also for he became a silent listener to her.

“Sorry dear. In fact I got up early and I am lucky enough that I have seen your erotic beauty and searched your under garments”

“Idiot, what for?”

“To find out blood stains if any”

“It is too much on your part Arjun; and don't you know that it is a very bad manner?”

“I accept, but I haven’t done it with any mala- fide intention dear”

“Then for whose selfish ends you have done this?”

“I am extremely sorry dear. As a doctor I could understand the feelings of the women in general and our spinsters in particular. You being in the insurgency got adopted to walk miles together in the forests and on the terrains since about three years and that might be the reason why your body sizes are now as 36-30-38. Sometimes it may be due to physical exertion, i.e. due to cycling, mountain climbing and consequent over heat, the hymen in most of the teenage girls may definitely get ruptured, and do you agree with me?”

She didn’t answer him at once. Instead she continued to hear him.

“Like any such girls I think you are also no exception. And if any idiot comments about your virginity, I give you liberty to slap them with your shoe, rest I will take care”

She looked at him curiously.

“Are still out of moods dear? I think certainly you might have been hurt with my statements. And hence I say unconditional apology to you Honey”

“No, first of all I must express my heartfelt gratitude to you Arju for understanding womanhood; and especially the way you have been taking care of, treating, honouring me and my womanhood before others. In fact I have seen you sprinkling some blood on my undergarments, least you never give scope to others to let down your better half. Thank you Arju” She hugged him emotionally.

“All these customs and traditions in any society in lighter sense are quite impressive. But when once they exceed their limits, it would be horrible to
