章 51: My Dad is cheating??

Mom: "How was the party?"

Me: "it was good."

Mom: "Did you hook up with someone?"

Me: "yeah. But it was a one time thing."

Mom: "our Romeo is on the loose, huh? Did you do something with her?"

Me: "we had sex, in the ladies toilet."

Mom: "in the toilet? That seems exciting. Tell me everything about it."

Me: "Well, things happened and we were in the mood...."

Mom: "That's an exciting story. Your dad has a lot to learn from you. He wouldn't even kiss me in public."

Me: "should I teach him?"

Mom: "Haha, that would be great. Forget about sex, if he even kissed me in public that would be an achievement."

Me: "haha, I should teach him then."

Mom: "please do. But really, you are really enjoying it. And here all I can do is masturbate."

Me: "you are so beautiful, I can't understand why you guys aren't having sex anymore."

Mom: "Don't know, maybe he found someone younger and beautiful than me. Who would want a old woman like me"

Me: "Mom, I told you many times that you are very beautiful."

Mom: "maybe it's because I am your mother that's why you think like that. But your father thinks the other way."

Me: "why are you so sure about it? Mom, is everything going okay?"

Mom: "forget it."

Me: "no tell me today. Don't avoid it this time."

Mom: "It's that. I don't know how I should tell you. We have not done anything for so long. And, I know why, too. It's something like that."

Me: "I don't get it, Mom. Done what? Maybe he has been busy, and that is why he has not been able to take you out. Dad loves you."

Mom: "No, Arjun. He doesn't love me. I never wanted to tell you this. But I am very sure he is having an affair. I just don't know with whom. But, this is the truth about our marriage."

Me: "Mom!"

I was really shocked. I never thought about this possibility. They were so close.

Mom: "Yea. Just leave it. Let's not talk about it. It is just that he is not interested in me anymore. Because he has somebody else. And, I am just not able to accept the fact that he does not find me good enough, now."

Me: "I don't know what to tell you, Mom. I don't think Dad will do something as disgraceful as cheating on you. But, I am also sure you wouldn't say this to me if you were unsure."

Mom: "It's okay, Arjun. Well, if I never had that feeling, then I would have gone to Delhi with your Dad. And we would have never gotten so close to each other. So, it is fine. I am happy I have you now."

Me: "Hhmm, yeah. Yes, mom. I am happy, too. But, I just feel a little broken hearing all this."

Mom: "I am sorry I had to tell you this. And, that too when you were least ready for it."

Me: "I never thought about this. I always felt you were a happy couple. You guys always talked to each other when we were around."

Mom: "It is not like we never talk, Arjun. This has been going on for more than a few years. We have just learned to live with it. Or, rather, I should say I have learned to not question him."

Me: "But, why can't you ask him?"

Mom: "Because I don't have any proof. I don't know anything about the woman he is seeing."

Me: "Then how can you suspect him? Don't you think it's unfair?"

Mom: "Listen, Arjun. You are too young to understand, things like these. A woman of my age can easily confirm."

Me: "mom!!"

Mom: "And, your Dad is not interested in being on the bed with me, only because he is getting what he wants from somewhere else."

Me: "Mom…"

Mom: "You have no idea how hurt I am, Arjun. You will never understand. I am heartbroken. I have been crying for so long. I am just not able to accept your Dad does not find me attractive anymore. I lived my whole life thinking I was the best any man could get."

Me: "Mom. Please, don't be upset about this, now. I am so sorry if I said something that hurt you. I did not know. I never realized you were so hurt. Please don't think you are alone. You have me and Di. We will always be there for you."

Mom: "It is okay, Arjun. It's been a long time since I have had all this in my mind. It just came out today. I am okay here. I will be fine."

Me: "I want you to be more than just fine, Mom. I want you to know you still have a great life ahead. I want you to know everything will be fantastic. I want you to know that you have your son with you, forever. I will be there for you, Mom."

Mom: "You will? You really will be there for me?"

Me: "Yes, Mom… I just want you to always be happy."

Mom: "You will be there for me all the time, Arjun?"

Me: "Yes."

Mom: "Any time?"

Me: "Yes, my dear Mom."

Mom: "Even in the middle of the night?"

Me: "Yes, Mom! Anything to keep you happy."

Mom: "Anything to keep me happy? You will do whatever I want?"

Me: "Of course, yes!"

Mom: "You will do whatever I want, any time of the day?"

Me: "Yes!"

Mom: "What about the afternoon? When you are in a class?"

Me: "I can reply to your texts. The class also ends today until I get admitted into college."

Mom: "And, what about early in the morning? What if you are sleeping?"

Me: "You just need to call me. That will wake me up."

Mom: "And, what about now?"

Me: "Well, it's almost 3:00 AM. And, I am already talking to you, Mom. And, if you want me to, I will still be talking to you, even at 6:00 AM."

Mom: "Yes, you are talking to me. But, are you ready to do anything for me, this very second? Like anything?"

Me: "Yes… Yes…Yes."

Mom: "Whatever I ask you to do?"

Me: "Yes, Mom. I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Mom: "Okay Arjun. Now, that sounds like a good deal."

Me: "Oh, yes Mom. Anything for you. I just want to see you smiling, all the time."

Mom: "I have been smiling since I started texting you, Arjun. And, now, I think I need something more, to continue smiling for some more time. Maybe I will smile more if I get to see something that is very pleasing to look at."

Me: "Mom. What is that, now? There is nothing very pleasing that you can find at this hour of the day."

Mom: "Well… There is… something very very pleasing. And, only you can show me that."

Me: "What is that, Mom? I don't think I have anything like that with me."

Mom: "Send me one more picture of your penis, Arjun! Right now!"
