\u2018Son, come. Dinner is ready!\u2019 His mom screamed from the dining room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He heard her scream and immediately ran down the stairs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He lives in a bungalow with his parents. His room is on the first floor while his parents\u2019 are restricted from entering his room. And so, they live on the ground floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He took a seat at the dining table where his father was found passing the bowl of salad to his mother. He was scolded for being late at the dining table by his father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His father is a strict and very much disciplined kinda person who wants everyone\u2014especially his family\u2014to obey his orders sincerely. But he, his son, likes going against him and his decisions. It makes him feel superior to his father and releases dams of dopamine for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018So, how was the day?\u2019 His father asked in a strict, nonchalant tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Good. Two of the employees were caught and fired for having sex in the office washroom,\u2019 he replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Shh! Don\u2019t use these words,\u2019 His mother whispered into his ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Let him use it. At least it would provoke him to get married to a nice girl with whom he would share a room,\u2019 His father butted in with anger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Don\u2019t worry. He eventually will. He needs privacy. That\u2019s it.\u2019 His mother defended him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Privacy! Huh? My foot! Ask him his age!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018He\u2019s just 31,\u2019 His mother said, adding rice to his plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018He\u2019s 31!\u2019 His father exclaimed, pouring anger. \u2018I am sure he\u2019s a GAY.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Are you mad? What\u2019re you saying? How dare you talk about my son like this?\u2019 She continued, pulling his cheeks softly, \u2018He must be having a sweet girlfriend who will pour good tea to me every morning.\u2019 To which he blushed profusely and smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Tea!? My foot! Sometimes, I think he\u2019s a VIRGIN too! A 31-year-old virgin!\u2019 His father exaggerated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018What\u2019re you even saying?! Think before using your wor\u2014\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018ENOUGH!\u2019 He thumped his hand on the table and interrupted their awkward conversation. He took the plate and a glass of water, added more rice, and left the dining table for his room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018If you need anything else, do let us know. It would be my honour to sell my kidneys too for you, my majesty!\u2019 His father taunted him while he ignored him and headed to his room, climbing stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He strode into his room and kept the plate and glass on the bed. He went to the washroom and brought her out into his arms. He made her sit on the bed and loosened her ropes which were tying her hands and legs. She saw him in despair and opened her mouth wide, clearly stating she was hungry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He spoon-fed rice to her. She ate it like some hungry wild animal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Mom was saying she needs a daughter-in-law like you who knows how to make a good tea,\u2019 he said to her while she ate food only with his hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018My father thinks I am still a virgin. How silly,\u2019 he continued, with a grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018We have sex every night and on Sundays, the whole day,\u2019 he blushed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Eat well because I\u2019m a bit hornier today than usual. Two of my colleagues were caught having sex in the office washroom and got suspended,\u2019 he told her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Say something!\u2019 He shouted at her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a pause, he said, \u2018Oh! Am sorry. I forgot you\u2019re dumb. Voiceless. But that makes things more interesting. Right?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All the time, she was eating the food only. And drank water from his hands at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He firmly made her lie on the bed and took her clothes off while she tried to resist him. But she was too weak to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He ran his fingers through her bare body. And after causing some minor sensations, he kissed her. First, on her lips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And then moved down to her navel. She wanted to scream for help, but her disability (voicelessness) didn\u2019t allow her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018This is our 628th day of togetherness in this room, in this house. Let\u2019s make this one special too,\u2019 He said, sliding his fingers into her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
