WHY ME? by Mike Nach Page B

through her head. I love
my mom very much but I have my own independent views. Even though I will be
staying in her house (on her insistence), I am not going to be a wimp.
    Before Mom could
respond, I replied, “Of course. I will help you. Mom will not mind me helping
out. Right, Mom?” Mom was too stunned to say anything.
    Little did I realize
that this would be the turning point of my life.  
    “Welcome to my humble
house! I am your most loving servant.” She said these words with an exaggerated
bow. The way she said it gave me goose bumps. I felt an unknown fear. All sorts
of questions came to my mind….
    What did Eve see in me?
    Why did she try to
seduce me in the first meeting itself?
    Her apartment was luxuriously
furnished. When did this stuff arrive at her place? Surely, the movers would
have made some noise while unloading the furniture.
    The furniture had also
been neatly arranged. It was just an excuse to bring me here.
    We sat on a sofa near
each other. I got a whiff of Eve’s perfume. It was indescribable.  Eve came
closer and caught my hand in hers.
    “Let’s not waste time.
I want to make love to you,” she said in a strange voice.
    Before I could retort, Eve
cupped my face with her hands and kissed me on my lips. This was a real, hot kiss.
I responded by holding her close to me and we kissed each other as if we had
not kissed for days (which was true in my case). I could hear soft moans from
her. I was excited.
    Eve got up, “Come let’s
go to the bedroom.” My shortcomings were going to be exposed. She saw the
hesitant look on my face.
    “What’s the matter?”
she inquired anxiously. “Don’t you wish to have sex with me?” There was a look
of desperation on her face.
    “No! It’s not that. I
have a problem.” I described what was affecting me.
    Without saying a word,
she put her hand inside my pant and clutched the limp organ. Lo, behold! Blood,
immediately, started gushing through it and the flow was terrific. It was as if
she cleared the blockade with her touch. My penis was harder and longer than
before! I was amazed. Who’s this chick?
    We quickly undressed
each other and I pushed Eve on the bed. What followed afterwards was the most
unforgettable moment of my life. I went on and on for ages until we climaxed
together. I fell off her totally exhilarated and exhausted. I cradled her in my
arms and caressed her hair.
    “That was the most
wonderful sex I ever had in a hundred years!” she exclaimed. I agreed.
    She got up. “Come, let’s
go to the bathroom for a wash.”
    We went to the bathroom
and showered. After we came out, she escorted me to the door. I gave her a
final kiss before opening the door.
    Mom did not look
suspiciously at me when I entered our house. She hardly said a word. We quietly
had dinner. I helped her to clear the dishes and then went to my bedroom to
sleep.

DESTINY’S CHILD
     

I was awake for a long time. I
was normal again!
I was bewildered by the suddenness of it all. Sometime back
(see next chapter), I had read about the Indian doctrine of Karma (fate).
    Thousand’s
of years ago, before Sir Isaac Newton’s  discovery of the Third Law of Motion -
‘FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS AN OPPOSITE BUT EQUAL REACTION’ , the Hindus had
already formulated the law of cause and effect, which they called Karma.
According to Hindu belief, every action is the effect of our previous actions
and will be the cause of future actions. This cause and effect is not limited
to just this lifetime. Hindus also believe in the concept of reincarnation. They
feel that our present life is the effect of deeds carried out by us in our
previous lives and these along with the deeds carried out by us in our present
life will be the cause of our future lives. So, our karma dictates whether we
will be rich, poor, healthy, sickly, happy and sad and so forth in this life
and future lives. With each life, we either increase or decrease our karmic
burden.
