Chapter 2: chapter 2

...His words to me were, “Rue do you have a boyfriend? Answer me do you?” - Uncle Royce...Uncle hadn't arrived still  so we went to the tea stall to have some tea. Our full family was enjoying tea. Mom and dad were happy too. Uncle was very helpful and good to us. Since granny died he had left home and went to live at our ancestral home in Goa. Goa is really a nice place peaceful, greenary and beautiful hills with fresh breeze and positive vibes. That was the place where he and dad grew. Mom was from Goa too but was born and brought up in Mumbai, but she likes the vibes of Goa. One hour had passed and he hadn't arrived. So dad called him. We waited more and more and the smell of blood rose scent hit my nose. I screamed with excitement, that Uncle Royce had arrived. Mom knew I was fond of him and didn't have much problem with uncle being around me. After all I was the daughter of working parents and both couldn't give me time. I knew uncle could do that for me, and after all he was more than ... Ugh I started again.Uncle had pink lips, fair skin, handsome jawline and good body shape. Uncle was s***. Oh no if I had told this to my friends I was dead. They would make fun of me. I looked at uncle with my mouth wide open. In no time he picked me in his arms and hugged me. I was nervous and thought to myself what if mom didn't like this? I whispered to him, “Uncle mom doesn't know this... So... Um... If she knows my body would be wet and my blood would be dry... So please will you control your excitement?”  Uncle nodded and gently kept me down. I was warm and sweating, I had unknowingly turned red. Who turns that way when an uncle hugs ugh... I am crazy.  My friends are serious about me and my silly feelings. Good uncle has no wife. I had told my friend Ame about this. Ame was stressed again and she knew that I loved uncle, but she didn't know that our love was mutual. She thought only I had feelings for uncle. Soon we sat in the car, dad was driving, uncle sat on the front seat and mom sat beside me on the long back seat. Our car is a 5 seater Wagnor. Uncle couldn't get his eyes off me, he was looking at me through the mirror of the car and I was fidgeting with my fingers. I wanted to kiss uncle on his cheek but, I couldn't I was scared of mom. Uncle told dad to stop at the hotel. We ate pizzas and pastries. After long something like this had reached my stomach. I was happy, and my eyes were happy too after seeing uncle Royce. We arrived home and uncle was happy to see the house not changed much yet. Mom went to the kitchen for cooking dinner and dad went to the bedroom to change his clothes.  Uncle and I were alone in the living room. Uncle approached me and asked, “Rue do you have a boyfriend? I am asking the last time. Answer me do you?” I ignored him and stormed to my room upstairs. Uncle followed me, and I nervously closed the door. He was standing outside he didn't bother to invade and went to his room. I again began to think was this all right? Or am I putting myself in a death pit? I was nervous and sad I sat down on my bed and cried alot. Suddenly I wasn't happy uncle had come. I was worried, my body began to ache, my fingers were numb my hands were going pale, blood had dried within my body, my knees ached and I didn't know what to do. The worst thing was I couldn't move. I was getting suffocated by my own choice. It made me think and rethink but I had no alternative, I loved him. I knew what we would face. I saw the sunset outside my window. The green grass and butterflies mating. I said to myself, how lucky they are. They can choose their partner the way they like. Why can't humans be same? Why is it so complicated between us? Career, choices, society, affairs, and many more shitty issues. In both forms I would be pretty, be it butterfly or be it now. Why wasn't I born as a butterfly, ugh... Snake would also do but not this. I wanted to run away. I wanted to be a monk in some monastery or  Gregor Johann Mandel. My luck is not good, and right now I wanted to be alone. I heard a knock on my room door. It was mom, I wiped my tears and put up a smile. I opened the door. Mom told me to have bath and handed me over a bath robe uncle had brought for me. I loved it. Light green and silky. F*** my boobs would shake in those better I ware a bra. Mom also told me to ware one. I agreed, closed the door and went to have bath. I hung my towel and the bath robe at one end where there were hooks. I couldn't stop thinking about him as I looked at the robe. I was hurt as well as feeling good. Mostly worried about what dad would think of us. During bath I imagined things with uncle. I couldn't stop myself, the fucking bathrobe smelled like him. I was going crazy. I finished having bath and wiped myself. I wore the bath robe and looked at myself in the mirror. I thought I looked funny, but I went down my hair was still wet and water was dripping from it. I walked down stairs and saw uncle and dad watching kabaddi match on star sports.I walked towards them and uncle's eyes were fixed at me. Dad was happy with uncles choices. He loves the way his princess looked. Mom noticed uncle's gaze.
