The Wait Till Eternity

The wait till eternity

60 kilometers away from Mumbai , there is a place which is famous for its ancient Shiva Temple. Many tourists come to visit it and see the beauty of the carvings on the temple, a river flows behind  , many lover’s visit this temple as it is known to fulfill the wishes .There were very few bungalows in that place . Not many people live in and around the temple . Only the families who worked in the industries in that town lived in this place .It was a Industrial area on one side of the railway tracks and a beautiful scenic area with bungalows on the other side of the track.Many people would come to visit this place and to see the temple in the month of march as there would be a grand celebration for five days .At that time there were very few hotels and lodges to stay in for the night.On one such occasion A young man with his parents come for the temple celebration , the parents  after a long day of standing in the crowd to enter the temple , and then seeing around ,feel very tired to return back to Mumbai in the train , it would take them two hours to reach home and the trains at that hour would be too crowded . H e looks out for a place to stay but all the hotels and lodges were booked and there was not even a single room available. The  man with his parents sit on a deserted footpath in the night thinking what to do next,they think of going to the station and waiting in the waiting room . there was no other way where he could make his parents sit in the night ,there was not a single auto in sight as due to the crowd they were not allowed to bring their auto upto the temple  area . When they had arrived it was morning and they had walked upto the temple in full enthusiasm., but now they were too tired , and just wanted to lie down . It was almost 12.30 am ,and now all the people who had stalls where slowly closing their stalls and going to their houses, all the people were  rushing to go back to their hotels and lodges. Only this family were stranded on the road ,The young guy makes his parents sit there and tell them not to move till he goes and sees if some arrangement can be done in some of the houses nearby ,so he goes and asks the stall owners if any family living in the houses near the temple can accommodate him and his parents as they are old and very tired.The stall owner says nobody will give shelters to strangers.The young man offers money but still no one agrees to give them shelter, for the night he is now very scared what will he do how will he protect his parent in this cold night .When he comes towards his parents he sees them talking to an old man with a walking stick , they wave out to him to come fast , he goes running towards them and sees his parents are smiling at him and introduces him to the old man and tells him that he is their son.The old man looks at the young guy and scolds him for making his parents wait on the road alone at this deadly hour ot the night .He tells him he saw them sitting from his house so came to enquire why they were sitting there, He tells them they all can come and stay in his house for as long as they want and enjoy the temple festival without any qualms .He tells them to follow him He is a bold man with very pale skin and hunchback walking with the help of a walking stick made of wood , the stick made horrible noise when he used to hit the ground .it was the only chilling sound in otherwise quiet and deadly night, He was going on talking with his parents , were too happy to answer his questions as they would get a place to sleep.They reach the old man’s house which was some ten minutes away from the temple .They see a nice big bungalow ,with a compound around it and a large mango tree .When they near the house which is well lit a black dog comes barking at them and the old man talks the dog very loving and tells him go call your sister tell her guest have come , the dog goes inside the house barking .The young man does not know what to accept , he finds it strange that such a old man is staying in so big well maintained , but any way they just have to stay for one night ..When they enter  the house the old man tells them to sit on the couch , and he goes in ,the dogs barking has stopped and it is not seen , when suddenly a lady with long black hair which she has brought in the front over her shoulder comes out with a tray and offers water to everybody she looks at the young man and smiles, as if she knows him .He is little restless , he feels why did she give him a look which was as if she knew him from first.The lady tells them to go and freshen up  and tells them to follow her they follow her she takes them upstairs . And shows them two rooms , she opens one room and tells the parents to go in and relax and shows them the common washroom on the floor, and then opens another room and beckons the young man inside the room, he feels strange , that in such an area where the stall keeper told him people don’t allow strangers to stay in their house .this father daughter is allowing three people and giving them two rooms to stay .But as he was very tired he does not want to think on the topic for long.She asks them whether she should prepare food for them . They thank her and say they just want to sleep , as they are very tired . She smiles at them ,and tells them if they need anything they can call her . Her room is just below their room .And then she goes down the staircase ..And the house becomes dark and he can hear the dog barking again very loudly .he feels very restless though the he is happy his parents got a place to sleep for the night .Something is troubling him about the lady. He just cover,s his body with the blanket and tries to sleep ,he falls asleep as soon as he hits the pillow as he was so tired and worried for his parents .Around 3 am he suddenly hears some noise coming from the floor below he tries to listen ,he is sure the sound of someone singing song ,he remember the lady had told them her room is below their he gets up from the bed and lies down on the floor which is wooden and tries to hear by sticking his ears to the floor he can hear her singing a very romantic song calling for her lover, telling him she can not wait for him any longer , come and satisfy my hunger , for she is hungry for ages for his love .The yong man feels very scared and tries to see if there is any hole in the floor he search and then he can see a c***k on the wooden floor he lies down and tries to see her .Her room is lit with candles and while singing she is combing her long hair ,and when she puts her hair behind and combs with her hand stretched up he could see her naked body she had thrown her clothes all over the floor and very seductively was combing her hair an singing the song calling out to her lover.The young man seeing her beautiful body shining in the candle light , and her beautiful round and firm breast was making him go crazy he wanted to jump on her and grab her in his arms .He was going crazy as he had never seen a naked women , he could not control his desire to go down and make love to her a savage desire was creeping in his body he opens the door and runs down the staircase  . And knocks at her door to his surprise the door is kept open as if she knew he would come ,he enters the room it is full of flowers and candles. She is sitting on the bed facing a window , her back is like smooth marble he wants to hold her from behind and kiss her whole body she stops singing when he enter, and tells him she was waiting for him ,He climbs the bed and holds her from behind he touches her soft breast and tells her not to talk but to make love to him , he goes on kissing her body and when he is exhausted he enters her v****a and she screams out in pleasure he feels she was so happy that she wanted to tell the universe that her lover has at last come to give her the love hich was waiting from so many years .He kisses her again all over her body and does not want to leave her ,she laughs and holds him tightly.and he falls asleep in her bosom . In the morning he is woken up by his mothers tender voice , he sees her sitting next to his head and keeping cold water bandages on his head , and his father is massaging his feet . He is confused  and looks up and sees he is under the sky and on the same footpath .he is having high temperature , When he asks his mother who threw them out of the big house ,she tells him he was  found by some people under the big mango tree some few meter away from the temple .After he left them to search for a shelter he did not return ,they were given place by the stall keeper as the stall keeper had pity on them ,  they waited for him the night and in the morning some people found him under the mango tree,.ann brought him to the stall..The stall keeper comes in the morning to start his business , and seeing the young man having high fever asks him where was he in the night leaving his parents on the footpath,.The young man tell him the whole story after he met the stall keeper he saw his parents talking to an old man and so on .The stall keeper and the people gathered around them tell him there is no such house near the mango tree where he was found .People have notice  Two ghost roaming in the night inviting them to their house ,and probably he was fooled by the ghost who is waiting for her lover from ages .
