spread over the valley
surrounded by lush green forest
The visitors are mostly parrots
a good number of families live there and do cultivation.
There is a chief in the village
he had a shrewd daughter
She was more like a princess to the village.
She was sitting under a tree
in a dream state..
her friend approached and
asked about
her new experience…
Now,
the Chief’s daughter narrates to her friend,
Of late
a young man coming near to my house
and standing near a tree
staring and seducing me for hours
He looked like a smart hunter
who came searching for an escaped deer.
He would have reached my house
by following the traces of the deer foot.
His eyes never got tired looking at me.
I can feel his thirst of love and
I alone can quench his…
You know
He comes and goes
happening more than a few weeks
I strongly feared
he may die without confessing
his desire for me.
I had sleepless nights even though
I don’t have any relationships with him.
He was weak in expressing his desire
it is not fair on my part as a girl
go to him and do the talking
But due to heavy pain,
I decided to approach him.
One fine day
I was in my field to stop parrots entering,
there was a swing in one of our trees.
I sat and watched the field
Suddenly
he was there from nowhere
gazing from another tree.
I know,
he was never going to speak
hence
I called him to push the swing and he agreed.
He was standing in front of the swing
eating me with his eyes.
What I did was,
I did an act of slipping from the swing
fell on him as if I fainted.
I literally pressed my breast
on to his chest and
my entire body spread on him.
Even after few minutes
I never made any attempt to show
that I am back to normal
If I was,
he would have said, “Okay, get down from me and go away”
He is such a kind of character.
