Mine, my beloved (On Hold)

I mean...look at the number of comments...I just don't know what to say...

Ganga

Mama contacted me at midnight and asked me to come out. It was past 12 pm at night and I sneakily slipped out of my room after making sure that my sister was in deep sleep.

I was careful as I wandered out of my home. The darkness of the night was subdued by the shining moon and under the luminouscence provided by the said moon, I discern my mama standing along the fields. He waves me to go to him and I do, without any double-thoughts.

Merely beholding him has my heart hammer beneath my chest!

Forthwith, as soon as I reach him, he catches my wrist and guides me to the paddy straw that we have arranged to the side of our home. Mama sits me at the wall that was built by the paddy straw and after an overlook around the area, Mama perches beside me.

His presence and closeness had me forget the fear that I held regarding my sister's sudden waking from sleep and her failure to find me beside her...

“I should marry you soon, this is very risky,” he says while swinging his hand around my shoulder.

“Hm...I think our marriage talk will be commencing anytime now,” I say thoughtfully. My parents are so ready to marry me off...

“Yeah, it'll be," he comments cooly.

"Mama, after we get married...would you take me with you or leave me here in your home?" I query while looking at his countenance. "What kind of question is this Ganga? Why would I let you be here while I'm staying in Bangalore!?" He frowns.

"...just asked, a little doubt it was," I smile cheekily whereas he just annoyedly gazes at me. "What sort of doubt it is? It's plain stupid," I pout at his words.

"Enough mama...don't berate me now!" I hiss at him.

"When did I berate you?" I squint my eyes at him. He's acting innocuously again.

"Of course. Now you'll pretend as though you've done nothing. You're always like this..." I express and slightly glower at him.

"You've understood your Mama well. Good girl," he pinches my cheeks and states in a sweet tone. But it hurts!

"It pains Mama!" He offers me a surprised look as I pat my cheek on where he'd pinched.

"You're as soft as cotton. It's not fine..." I offer him a perplexed gaze.

"Why mama?" I skeptically implore as I watch his face.

"You've to endure more pain in the future—how will you when you're this vulnerable?" Huh? What is he blabbering?

"I don't get it," at my answer, Mama circles my waist and crashes me against him. Then he started caressing the skin on my waist with his fingers and that unanticipated action prompted me to breathe irregularly...

It sends chills down my spine and an odd sensation to the apex of my legs. Unintentionally, my toes curled as well and it felt as though I was soaring even when I was seated on the ground.

He continues to graze my bare waist and abruptly, he pinches it again. “Ah....” I moan out of pain and pleasure. He roughly kneads the skin and picks at it again.

“Mama, why do you pinch so strongly mama.." I state my genuine feelings while he just leans his forehead against mine. "I love the expressions and noises you make when I do that," he declares in a hushed voice.

"Really?" I wonder out loud.

"Yes," he reaffirms swiftly.

"Mama..." I fall to his chest and he embraces me tightly to him.

"When you touch me, I feel so weird," as I say that, mama softly chuckles.

"Do you like it though?" I nod at his question positively. "I do mama!" And then Mama kisses my forehead lovingly and tugs me closer to him.

We just stay in the same position and relish our body warmth... I'll miss my mama so badly. I don't want to let him go—but I've no choice.

It was a long time before Mama spoke up, "It's been a while, you should get back to your home now," I obliged and stood to my feet along with Mama.

"Good night mama..." He doesn't say anything—rather hugs me again. "Torture...I'm going to miss your tortures," my soul thaws away at his words.

And If that's not enough, he plants a kiss on my cheeks and keeps staring at my face adoringly...

My head is spinning...

"Okay...now go," he claims after a few minutes, and without protest, I stumble as I navigate my way to my home.
