The women very nicely dressed for the movie -- showing no particular sign of any excitement. Mansi opted to wear a nice saree, a surprising choice considering the possible activities that could transpire in the theatre. The others wore their traditional salvars, except for Dolly who opted for jeans with a nice non revealing top. The men spent a little bit time to tidy up for this major event of their life. Although, our dresses didn't show the excitement but the meticulous preparation did little to hide it.
Rohini looked marvelous in her green salvar. Her lean figure really made her look much taller and better in salvars. She was radiant, her sparkling eyes shone through her spectacles and her lips parted every now and then to glare her neat milky white teeth. Mansi was very cheerful as well. Her narrow waist was delectably wrapped in the gorgeous yellow saree that I had bought for her on our first anniversary. The brassiere had grown a bit tight for her after a year -- a just reward for my careful ministrations this past year. I noted that she had worn the saree a little bit lower than usual, nothing brazen but enough for me to take notice. The other two women looked gorgeous as well in their regular attire. I wondered if the other women would have opted for saree if they had access to one.
All of us left the house at 7:30pm. As per the plan we were supposed to meet at the theatre around 10:00pm and then move to four different corners of the theatre in order to get some privacy. Rohini insisted that we go to a quieter place for having our dinner, although I fancied taking her out to a nice, expensive restaurant. I took her to a slightly expensive Afghani place that is usually deserted; although I was not certain if it would be deserted during a long weekend. We had casual talk for some time before we placed our orders for starters and drinks. We were having a good time when suddenly Rohini decided to give it a serious turn by mentioning yesterday's events.
"I am a bit concerned with the way things went yesterday," she said.
"Why?" I asked innocuously.
"Well, I want to be frank with you," she said before taking a gulp of water to clear her throat.
"Do you promise to keep this between us?" she said lowering her voice.
"Why?"
"Sure, you can trust me," I said assuring her.
"Promise me that you won't get upset and ruin everything," she said highlighting the seriousness of the issue.
"Trust me, I am very tolerant and patient," I again assured her.
"What all happened yesterday was all planned by Rahul."
"I am reluctantly helping him achieve his objective."
"What objective?" I asked puzzled by her admission of an insidious plan of Rahul.
"Rahul wants to bed Mansi," she exhaled after a pregnant pause. I could notice her lips quiver as she said it. If not for this, I could have mistaken this for a ploy by the women for us to back off and concede defeat. It was quite clear that she was not lying and I very well knew that Rahul was a born philanderer. However, our conversation yesterday evening suggested that all of us (men) were looking for a little bit of adventure and hence it wasn't so alarming that Rahul wanted to bed Mansi. Moreover, Rahul definitely had a crush on Mansi ever since he saw her in college days. I could hardly blame anybody for wanting to have sex with such an incredibly beautiful woman.
