"Don't worry too much about that madam. Anyhow I tell about this to my uncle. He sees if there is anything worth investigating in this.'

"Do you help your uncle in all his assignments?" I asked her as if I did not hear what she said.

"In almost all his assignments. Except me he has no other assistants to help."

"I see." I nodded my head.

"My mother is hell bent upon performing my marriage in this year itself. What my uncle would do after my marriage has to be seen." While saying that her cheeks are blushed.

"Yes, I remember it now. Your uncle mentioned that. You are interested in studying post-graduation but your mother is interested in performing your marriage.'

"He said that too! Anyhow he is right." Menaka is smiling but her cheeks are still red.

"Are you ready to marry? Cannot you go against your mother and study whatever you want?"

"No madam. I cannot even entertain such an idea." Menaka is saying. "My father died in my childhood itself. My mother took all the trouble to rear me up like this. I am ready to do anything that gives happiness to my mother. If my marriage gives happiness to my mother, I just cannot deny that."

"You are really very good girl Menaka. I like your type a lot." I said while looking admiringly at Menaka. Menaka's way of thinking is really very much appealing to me.

"Thank you very much madam." With a charming smile on her lips Menaka is saying. "I heard about you a lot madam. I always feel awe about you. You are such rich! You are in such high level position! I never have dreamt that I can talk with you like this. I felt fear thinking how you do respond to me and treat me." After a small pause she is saying again "Thank you very much for this warm welcome and treatment."

"Is it is so Menaka? Quite unnecessarily you felt fear like that." For the first time I came to know how the other girls think about me. I am saying again. "But do you know one thing Menaka? I really don't like to be what I am now. I want to be like you. I want to be like an ordinary girl."

"Is it is so madam? Are not you feeling happy with what you are now? Oh, how much I wish to be like you!" there is surprise in her face.

"You have to be in my shoes to know how much irritating it is to be this much rich and to be responsible for this many number of organizations. I don't dislike wealth and richness Menaka. But need not be this much. Need not be this much that creates responsibilities and insecurity."

"May be you are right madam. Things may appear smooth from far. To know how they really would be we have to touch them and feel them." Nodding her head Menaka said.

"By the way I am really very much happy with your company Menaka. Your uncle said that your company is going to be quite enjoyable to me. I don't believe him then. But what he said is absolutely true."

"No madam. You are simply exaggerating. I am not that much special as you are thinking."

***

"This is my room Menaka. Are you going to stay in my room or do you want to stay in a separate one?" I know what she is going to say.

"I have to stay only in your room madam. You just cannot get rid of me. Even you can arrange a room more spacious and more comfortable than yours, I cannot stay in it. Strict orders from my uncle that I have to stay with you all the time."

"That's nice. Then make yourself comfortable on the bed. But be ready to be disturbed yourself. I wake you up if I hear any odd sound or started having any odd experience."

"Sure madam. I observe you every now and then even you don't wake me up. You just sleep peacefully."

While we both are talking like that Viola came there. "Oh, Ola. This is Menaka ...."

"You told about her to me and she is going to stay with you from now on. You have relieved me from a big responsibility." Laughing loudly Viola said.

"But what about hypnotic programming? Are not you going to do it on this day?"

"We do give a pause for that on this day." Turning back Viola said.

"I also know how to hypnotize madam. If you want I can hypnotize and program you." Menaka said to me.

"Is it is so?" I am smiling while saying. "Anyhow we are going to give a pause to that on this day Menaka."

"As you say madam." Menaka is saying. "It is very much thrilling to me that I am sleeping with you like this."

"I am also very happy to have your company like this." I said turning myself towards Menaka and adjusting myself to comfort. We both are lied on the bed enjoying the coziness of it.

Menaka is facing towards me and looking into my eyes. "Thank you very much for your feeling like that."

"As this much of intimacy developed in between us both, shall we have a free discussion?"

"Why not? Sure." Menaka said.

"Don't you fall in love with anyone Menaka?"

"No, of course." Menaka said straightly.

"Why it is so?"

"Why should we fall in love with someone?" there is surprise in the face of Menaka.

"Because it so common at this age to fall in love with someone."

"I don't know but I am not in love with anyone. I do marry whomever my mother selects for me."

I don't say anything but remained silent. In fact I don't know what to say.

"What about you madam? Are not you in love with anyone?"

Still I don't prefer to say anything.

"I am sorry if my words hurt you madam. My not falling in love is only because I could not find a suitable guy so far. I am not against love. We need to be courageous if we want to love someone sincerely."

"Is it is so? Even without loving anyone you know about love this much?" I asked her with surprise.

"Yes, of course. At the same time sincere lovers are lucky people. But we have to get such good person to love with whole of our heart."

"Wonderful! Wonderful indeed!" I exclaimed. "I am feeling very happy with what you have said." I paused for a moment before asking. "Now I want to know about your opinion on sex. Is sex alright before marriage?" I asked her.

"It is absolutely alright madam." Menaka immediately answered.

"Are you thinking really like that?" her answer surprised me.

"Hundred percent. Not just that. Sex before or after marriage with someone else other than the husband also is okay depending upon the circumstances."

This astounded me. I did not expect this at all from Menaka.

"My answer is perplexing to you, is it is not? What we are really preserving keeping it not touched by anyone until the marriage is over? Is it is not cumbersome, difficult most of the time?"

"I am not able to understand what you really want to say Menaka." I am really troubling myself to understand what Menaka is saying.

"Sex is something like thirst and hunger madam. It is in equal measure for men and women. It must be satisfied at suitable intervals. Starving ourselves for it until the big thing marriage is over is not only foolishness but sometimes dangerous also."

"My god! It is you who are talking like this? You are appearing such traditional to me and I don't expect this type of an answer from you at all."

"You said that to have a free discussion and I am making a free talking. Yes, what is wrong in it? Sex is not something that comes from outside. It comes from inside. Just like thirst and hunger even we don't want to feel it, we have to. We cannot escape from it."

"You are absolutely right. You are talking with sense." Breathing deeply I said. "This question may not be liked by you much. Then are you having sexual experience with anyone?"

"No." with firmness in her voice Menaka said. "Even I am thinking that I am quite reasonable in my thinking so, my consciousness does not allow me to have sex with anyone. This moral consciousness is a big barrier to me. Sometimes I so desperately want to have sex with someone to satisfy the urge but I cannot."

I am not talking anything. What Menaka said is hurting me. Am I not having any moral consciousness? Did I do mistakes by having sex with three men like that? As I am going to marry George it may be okay with him. But what about Nathaniel and Chuck? How this girl feels if I tell her about my sexual experiences with her?

"What you are thinking madam? Did I hurt your feelings?" looking straight into my eyes Menaka asked me.

I did not say anything but closed my eyes. I opened them again feeling Menaka's hand on my shoulder. "I am not at all feeling great by not having sexual experience with anyone till now. At the same time you don't think that you did a mistake if you have sex with anyone by now. It is just alright. A nature's law. Many a time it is better obeying the nature laws rather than going against them."

"I am feeling relaxed in hearing whatever you are saying Menaka. It is just like that you are talking with your heart."

"Because I am talking with my heart madam. It is difficult to understand and difficult to agree. But if analyze it deep, we sure can come to know it is reasonable." She hissed out heavily

I am really feeling very much surprise on hearing it.

"For the present, just try to sleep peacefully madam. We can have lots and lots of discussions like these as I am going to be with you for a considerable period of time."

***

"Oh, you are just wonderful!" keeping my both hands around the neck of George I am saying. "I never have thought I can enjoy this much of pleasure in sex." I am fervently kissing all over his face.

"You are also a different and peculiar experience to me." Just seconds back we have it again to our hearts' content.

"Why did not there any woman in your life till I entered George?" looking straight into his eyes I asked him.

"Did not I answer this question for you Dazzle?"hugging me strongly he is saying. "I just don't like responsibilities. I don't understand this feeling of love either."

"My god....that means....." mocking fear in my face I said.

"I must be frank with you Dazzle. From my childhood itself love is too abstract to me to understand. But I am feeling too much of loyalty towards your father still now also and it shall be there like that forever. That makes me cling to you forever, so don't feel fear."

"Thank you." Once again I am showering kisses all over his face. "It is really very much surprising why I am feeling like this towards you." I am now looking into his face.

"You said your reasons Dazzle. You want me to protect your organizations as long as I live. The next thing...." He too is looking into my face. "You want that security and warmness which you have got from your father."
