Chapter 25

Ajit

I couldn’t sleep the night properly. I took a cold shower twice but still found no comfort. Masturbating myself several times in the washroom, I reached my bed with puffy eyes in the middle of the night. I wrapped myself in the blanket and closed my eyes praying to get some sleep when I heard the twist of the doorknob.

I could hear her footsteps coming closer to my bed, and I felt a poke on my back. 

“Ajiiit,” she dragged my name almost in a whine. I often heard that voice whenever she wanted something from me. I did not want to face her today, at least at this hour, because I feared I was going to lose control and do the unforgivable. But the scratching on my back wouldn’t stop becoming more restless with time. 

“Ajit,” I heard her voice again and now it was vulnerable. Her dejection is my biggest weakness, and that’s it! I gave up, marking it as the end of my penance to stay away from her.
