Trembling Shadows
A romantic, psychological thriller
Kotra Siva Rama Krishna
“That Sameera is little better. But my wife is rotten and spoiled” there was sorrow and anxiety in his voice.
“Why are you saying so? She is appearing quite nice to me.” Making himself more comfortable on the bed Anand said.
“Appearances sometimes deceive. If you are thinking that she is so good by her appearance, you are mistaken. It is not so.”
Aravind breathed deeply and said. “I am afraid you are jumping to conclusions”
“I never jump to conclusions. I am a very thoughtful man. At the same time she is not a new woman to me to jump to conclusions” He suddenly got off from the chair and said. “I cannot say more than this to you now. But I can say one thing. I have confirmed myself that you are my best friend. If I am going to share my problem with anyone else, it is only with you.”
Saying so, he moved fast away from that place leaving Aravind all alone in that room.

Vinod was feeling a strange pain in his head. He very seldom would suffer from headaches. Why he was getting headache like that then was surprising to him. It was getting intensified more and more whenever he observed his wife and that Rajesh’s intimacy. It was not new to him observing them so. He never had taken the intimacy between his wife and that Rajesh seriously. He very well knew about the intimacy between them even before his marriage with Malathi. But it never bothered him like this before.
He was thinking whether there was some physical intimacy between Rajesh and Malathi before her marriage with him. He suspected that even then itself when she proposed her marriage with him. But he did not want to lose her for any reason whatever it might be. Malathi was such attractive and beautiful to him that he could not afford to leave her. Besides that she was having an impressive medical degree as well and quite skillful in her profession. If he married her there would be no problem for money. He could not earn even half the money she was earning through her profession. So he had agreed to marry her without a murmur at all.
His assumption did not prove wrong. They were getting enough money with Malathi’s active participation in the hospital activities. As expected in the bedroom matters too, he was not disappointed at all. He still could remember with some odd feeling in his heart how the first night of them passed.
“I know that you want to see me so Vinod” in that closed room she said on that day. “Most of the women don’t like to be so but I am not like that. If you really want to see me like that, see then. I never object to that. At the same time you should understand I too want you in the same way.”
When he expressed his desire that he wanted to see her all naked that was what she said. She removed herself all the garments from her body and in just matter of seconds remained stark naked before him. His mouth was becoming dry even now as he was remembering what he had seen on that day.
“Why you are thinking I have undressed myself? In your situation you cannot do that” there was no hastiness or shy in her. He found the truth in her saying. ‘Are all the educated women would be like this?’ he wondered in himself then.
Her big breasts stood firmly without any support. There was no fat on her curved hip and her naked body was quite luring to him. Her body was like glass and gold in colour. He tried to move towards her but she stopped him.
“I am not going to allow it so. It is full partiality. You don’t remember the condition I have put, before I made myself completely naked.”
He searched her face to see if there was any shame like thing in it but could not find any. But without that shame feeling as well she was appearing beautiful. He doubted then the saying that shame would give beauty to women.
He remembered the condition and got himself completely naked then. He did not know why but his fingers shivered as he himself peeling his clothes one after one away. He could not do that as fast as she did to herself. In fact at one or two times she helped him to take away his clothes. When he became completely naked she giggled looking at him. There was untellable pleasure in her eyes. Then she did not stop him when he slowly approached her.
It was not the first time to him to have sex with women. But he did not enjoy it that much with anyone else until then. But what more surprised to him was that Malathi felt to him as if she were untouched by any man until then. But how an untouched woman knew that much about sex? And did those types of things to arise him and herself to get complete sexual pleasure?
The thought that she might be sleeping with Rajesh did not irritate him. Surprisingly he felt a sort of thrill in an odd way until then. But now, suddenly, it was causing him a headache.
“You are appearing a little different, boy” coming near to him Rajesh said. “What is troubling you?”
“Nothing” Vinod moving uneasily in his chair said.
“Psychologists too would have troubles with their minds. Our Vinod is suffering something with his mind” Tanuja who just came there said.
Vinod looked at her while the frown on his forehead was deepening. Her way of behavior did not surprise him. Even she was quite glamorous it was indeed her luck that Rajesh married her. She was not educated much and her poor father could not get a better person than Rajesh to marry her. She never had appeared to him having problems with her marital life. It was not so that she did not know about the relationship between her husband and his wife. In his opinion she might well prepared for that.
“How you can say that I am suffering with my mind. My suffering may be with anything”
“With whatever thing we may suffer it troubles our mind, is it is not so?” smiling charmingly she said again.
“Then you are a better psychologist than me too.” Vinod said. He did not want to observe her particularly but his eyes scanned her quickly. He felt envy towards Rajesh. He knew that Tanuja was aged just forty five or six years. But she was still maintaining that glamour and firmness of her body which she had twenty five years or so back. He could not guess that she was doing something to keep herself fit and attractive so or that was just automatic but her figure would rise desire even in an old man. In fact Rajesh need not go for any other woman keeping a beautiful woman like Tanuja in his home.
“Oh, sometimes I am getting bore to stay here” Tanuja said. “What is the best thing to do to pass our time here?”
“Need to be found out. It is the responsibility of Rajesh to find out something to pass our time here without getting bore as he has taken us all here.” Vinod said.
“Certainly. Give me some time. I shall come up with something” Rajesh said.

In the downstairs middle room Aravind sat on the mat on the floor. The room was big enough and the ceiling fan revolving above providing enough air. As it was winter time and sky was cloudy and it was drizzling, the climate was not sultry.
He leaned on to the wall and closed his eyes. Sameera appeared before his mind. He tried to throw away her picture from his mind but however strong he tried to remove her from it she was coming back with even more force. He was not a person to think or go back even after very beautiful girls, but he did not know why this Sameera was really troubling him. The fact that Sameera was loathing him was quite irritating to him.
He still could not understand the reason for her hate towards him. He knew she was beautiful but just because of that she need not hate him. There might be some other reason that he could not think of for her hate on him. The problem then was why his mind was craving for her so? He had seen so many beautiful girls before, why it did not go after them? They would have come and did friendship with him and did whatever he want if he just asked them. ‘Mind is really a peculiar thing’ he thought in himself.
He heard some sound and opened his eyes. For a moment he could not believe what he was seeing before him. It seemed that mind has the power to get whatever it want before it if it really wished it that much. ‘Am I just dreaming!’ He was still struggling to believe even it was so evident before him. Before he came to know whether it was a dream or reality he heard. “Aravind, what you are doing here? Why don’t you come out and talk with us?” It was the voice of Sameera as sweet as ever it was.
“I am just thinking something in myself.” Aravind said. “There is no problem to me here. Do you want to stay in this room? May I have to go out of here?”
“Why you are hastening yourself to conclusions so? There is no necessity to you to go out of this room. In fact I am feeling bore and thought I may get some good time pass if I talk with you and looking for you particularly” being seated herself near to him Sameera said.
“It has never been like this before, was it?” with a smile Aravind asked. It was even more surprising to him. “You never have shown interest like this to talk to me. Why like this now?” observing her beautiful face searching for any cunning idea inside Aravind asked. He felt quite happy on hearing that so but could not feel sure of what she had said.
‘Why it is like this?’ Sameera thought and surprised in herself. She tried to hate him as he was a favorite one to her parents. But she realized that she would do injustice to herself if she put him away from her. Aravind was handsome and intelligent and if she was not careful and hasten some other girl would pick him up as Sunanda warned her. So she decided in herself at last to put a stop to her antagonism towards him and make friendship with him.
“I am sorry if I hurt you before, Aravind” Sameera said. “I am in some problems. So I behaved like that to you then. Now I want to do true friendship with you. Cannot we be good friends?” as she was talking her ear rings were dancing beautifully with her head movements. He just could not avert his gaze from her as her youth was abundantly available to him in her skirt and tea shirt. He knew that she wore no bra under her tea shirt. He was trying not to look at the jutted up tits and the cleavage. Whenever she was trying to wet her lips with the tip of her tongue he was getting invaded by a feeling to kiss on them strongly. Aravind was refraining himself from doing so by using all his power.
“Why cannot we be? I really love to be a friend to you” there was a beam in his eyes then. His whole face was lit with pleasure.
“Then we shall start talking” Sameera paused for a moment and looked around her. The room was spacious and good. “The room in the upstairs is even better. There is a bed as well to lay our backs” she said.
