A SEDUCTIVE TALE
Impatiently, Rani nudged
her sleepy husband, who sat up in bed, protesting.
“What do you want now, uh?”
“Vinod, I want some
bright ideas from you, lazy oaf! How do I make my boss select me for that plum Singapore
posting?”
She sighed with
pleasure as she allowed her fantasies to soar, imagining herself in
Singapore-with or without hubby-that was secondary.
“Have you asked him
yet?”
“Yes, but he is kinda
non-committal-merely smiles and says that he has to choose among 2 or 3
others.”
It was Vinod’s turn to
nudge her with a sly smile, “Maybe he wants...er… Some favors from you.”
“Chee! Do all males want that only from women?”
After some time, she
asked hesitantly, “What’s your
opinion on this, Vinod? After all, once you proposed wife swapping to me!”
Vinod shrugged, “I
needn’t know at all…if you want the posting so much…”
Then he added, by way
of a hint:
“I would love the
Singapore posting too…after all; I am a free lancer-can work from anywhere.”
Rani fought hard not to
show her delight.
***
A few days later.
Rani came back from
work and slumped wearily into a chair.
Vinod putting his arms
around her asked with concern, “What happened, darling? Any problem at work?”
“No problem, except
that your suggestion didn’t work out on expected lines.”
“What happened? Didn’t you…Er…hint
him clearly enough?”
Rani fumed, “I did what
any shameless woman would normally do in such cases. But he wasn’t buying it-
that idiot!”
Then, turning towards
her handsome husband, she said, “Vinod, my boss gave me a very strong hint in turn.”
Hugging her husband,
Rani added, her voice full of hope, “It’s you
that he wants on his bed, dear.”
