The Sugarcane fields..

Pithi walked a step towards door at the farther end of extremely large room.. it had been an ordeal for her to sit waiting for her .. husband.. they had married today.. and this was their first night of marriage.. the bed was full of flowers.. she stood looking out the field.. the sugarcane farms.. in dark moonless night.. their house was three story .. and the room was on top .. a lamp burned in the courtyard on neem tree.. and the canes swayed in fast wind..

Earlier she had waited on second floor untill they made the top room in arrangement of flowers.. on the second floor amidst the storage of harvest machinery and obnoxious large stacks of cane.. the room smelled extremely sweet of fresh canes and grease and oil from machinery.. everyone was downstairs on first floor except for her sister in law who came a couple of times.. the house was three story each floor made in single giant one room.. as it seemed.. the plain architecture and wideness soothed her.. and she found the house to be more inviting then the first time she had come to meet him.. the marriage was arranged.. and her husband was a wealthy farmer..

She was left alone to rest and ease on second floor .. and some children who liked to be doted by new beautiful bride played and hugged her cheerfully.. were shooed away.. with a severe admonishment..

Parya: Aey ..!! Let her be..

Parya was her sister in law.. she came with dinner plate and had shouted shooing away.. the kids.. as soon she had entered ..

Parya: here.. let's eat.. here two of us.. the first floor is too noicy.. Ashok will be here soon.. they are decorating your room upstairs.. you need not change..

Pithi: ok..

She spoke timidly.. she wanted to see her husband.. and didn't feel hungry.. she ate scantily..

Pithi: i will be back soon..

Ashok came after awhile.. come upstairs.. rest.. i will be back soon.. he had left her on the top floor room.. of theirs..

It would be inappropriate to fall asleep.. and rude.. she returned by the bed and set on the edge..

The clock rang 12:30 and the house became silent .. the commotion on first floor earlier turned to slow buzz.. she heard him on the steps.. and stood up quickly..

Ashok: i am sorry.. l am late.. you should have rested..

Pithi trembled..

"how is the decorations.. ?"

Pithi: Kripali told me you had an affair with someone and you didn't want to marry.. but did just by your family insistence.. if so we will rethink..

Ashok: just a gossip.. nothing as such..

He turned off lights leaving zeros on..

The Pyre..

Moori came up to surface out of water.. in a single plunge .. the water was cold.. and the summer night smoggy and humid.. filled with October heat.. sea roared a humm of a lover.. as she surfaced and walked out to sands.. water ran through her form wrapped in white.. fabric.. a light reflected on her as she neared large trees .. forming a dense jungle coastline woods.. her clothes flashed yellow in light from fire near a opening to jungle from seashore.. as she neared the fire she had started before taking a plunge into sea.. nearby.. trees.. a shadow moved out behind her.. and disappeared a little further down the line.. she continued looking ahead .. Yajmi stood beside a large tree looking directly by fire.. his mind in the claws of questions and thoughts of this female .. he trembled as his legs wobbled under the vision in front .. of him.. She neared the pyre and climbed a small step of logs and set on heap.. she always set up as long as the fire burned out in cold black stu

Kesar..

Kesar looked at the brown pops that popped on the loaf .. she flipped it turning .. other side.. Batthho would be on his way back home.. he had spent last night at fields watering the grains.. and he would be hungry.. she thought.. as she tapped on the loaf awhile by flipping on the stove again.. she gnawed at her lips softly.. trying to concentrate as her mind wandered in the details of previous nights.. her insides twisted in to a tight knot at the thoughts of her husband.. as he had loved her whole night never letting her rest by excuse of his absence next night.. Batthho: i will be at fields tomorrow whole day and night.. Kesar: your lust is most primitive and your body untiring.. i can't satisfy you no matter however I tried.. Her voice cracked at the thought of spending whole day without him.. And she was afraid of the local bandit.. most.. She was exceptionally beautiful.. and people talked about her .. .. they were newlyweds.. just previous couple of months.. .

The Swingers..

The long ropes did take another fling and the swing turned up higher in the air.. and back again falling to other side .. just a slight afloat felt like a longer buoyancy in the ethereal oblivion.. moonlight doted a thousands of tiny pearls around the moss and grass dusted green floor.. as the tree trunk grew longer the branches flared around in sparkling light from above.. and greying reflection of tree on earth floor kept up looking like a stone still cradle.. soft and warm and inviting.. Nytili thought she might fall.. if she did.. it wouldn't be as harmful as it appeared.. but.. as the swing set on speed.. it became impossible to fall.. Her house too shone stone silver in midnight moon.. and the lone tree standing in it's courtyard appeared taller than under noon sun.. the sky disappeared frequently plunging into bluish black vastness.. shifted through the grill of leaves stems and the rope.. it was the most beautiful vision Nytili had ever seen.. dark yet mesmerising
