46. Caught?
Dipesh's plan to program Dipika's mind taking inspiration from Draupadi' character failed. Because he was not able to stop her relatives form telling her different negative things about him, their child and overall situation. Dipika came under complete influence of her mother and few of her aunties. In fact, the concept of programming her mind was skillfully implemented by her mother rather than Dipesh.
Now somehow Dipika also started believing that there is some fault in Dipesh's genes. She spoke her mind one day and said the same to Dipesh. But now Dipesh had become indifferent to all this. He had left no feelings for Dipika.
Still, she was residing somewhere in a corner of his mind. He got frustrated and then became more and more alcoholic.
Meanwhile, Maya succeeded in confiscating not only Dipesh's but also his soul and mind. Dipesh finally became addicted to Maya. Somehow Maya also started finding solace and comfort in Dipesh's presence.
Both took utmost care to not come in the eyes of public or Tarini because Tarini recently had become possessive with Maya and Maya wasn't sure what Tarini would do if she got a fit of anger.
They managed their sexual interactions mostly somewhere outside, in hotels that too in some other city. Dipesh would go to Mumbai for office work and Maya managed to go to Mumbai for conferences and seminars and meeting other Doctor friends.
Once at Maya's home, Maya left upper two blouse buttons open in a hurry. Seeing the glimpse of her round and beckoning breasts, Dipesh couldn't control himself. They hastily removed each other's clothes in Maya's bedroom, while keeping the bedroom door unlocked by mistake.
Dipesh was so eager that without foreplay, he entered into her hastily but still both had managed to get enough wetness in them. Maya liked this wild sex and started moaning with pleasure.
Suddenly Tarini came home to collect something she had forgotten. She opened the hall door with her extra latch key and heard moaning sounds from bedroom. Maya's face turned towards the bedroom door as she heard footsteps and hall door open sound while Dipesh's manhood was still inside her. She whispered to Dipesh, "I think Tarini has come!" Both couldn't complete their lovemaking and quickly put on clothes and Dipesh hid under the bed. Maya came out of the bedroom looking normal but in hurry she had again forgotten fastening upper two buttons of her blouse.
That made Tarini suspicious, and she asked, "Didi, what were you doing in the bedroom. Were you with someone?"
"No, no, I was changing my clothes!"
"Why, suddenly you felt the need to change clothes?"
"I spilled a medicine on clothes hence!"
Still, she looked suspiciously from the half open door of bedroom. She noticed thumb of Dipesh's leg popping out from under the bed. She realized it was Dipesh, but she didn't mention it to Maya. With furious eyes, she then went back to her work. Tarini recently observed the interaction between Maya and Dipesh and suspected that both were having an affair. Today her suspicion turned out to be true!
Since that day, both decided not to do sex in her house.
Dipesh's frustration further kept on increasing. Sometimes his mother would visit and stay for a few days and go back. But it was just a formal kind of visit. She also didn't much seem to bother about the situation through which Dipesh's family was going. She and Dipika's mother recently would fight and quarrel over trivial matters.
She once suggested Dipesh to take divorce from Dipika and marry again which he denied because he already had Maya in his life. However, he didn't tell his mother about his affair with Maya. But another reason for not going for divorce was his unconditional love for his little princess. He loved Mitali too much. He wanted to see her getting fully recovered and living a normal life. For her, he would do anything.
Due to frequent visits of Bhanugopal and Kirankumar, Mitali started giving positive response to the exercises and treatments suggested by doctors. Both were doing their best to help the family in curing Mitali.
Dipesh told Maya all the situation in his home one day. He told her everything. Maya stayed true to her medical ethics at first but later she started realizing that Dipesh may leave her if his daughter gets cured soon. But her another wish was also about to come true in near future. One day her pregnancy test came positive. She told this to Dipesh. He was happy because Maya was happy. But Maya also now got completely involved in him. She didn't want to lose him now. She also wondered about the two little frequent visitors about whom Dipesh told her recently, who miraculously were proving helpful in recovering Mitali faster.
Maya knew that Dipesh wouldn’t divorce his wife. But, then how long she must meet him in hiding? She wanted him all the time, for all her life. Even for the so-called reputation of her husband's family and her husband's unreturnable favor done to her, it was also not possible for her to divorce her husband. Hence, they decided to continue their relationship the same way which was going right now.’
