Day 11
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
My anger had now subsided.
|
||
I felt foolish.
|
||
I should've kept my mouth shut.
|
||
Now I was paying the price for my outburst. I was alone.
|
||
|
||
Normally there'd be someone to keep me company in my cabin.
|
||
But tonight I was alone.
|
||
It was a little past midnight and I couldn't sleep.
|
||
I decided to go and find Monica. Perhaps she would be kind enough
|
||
to keep me company, I thought.
|
||
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
I opened the cabin door slowly and looked inside. The red and purple
|
||
ambient lights gave the room enough visibility.
|
||
I tiptoed to Monica's pod and peeked in.
|
||
She was asleep.
|
||
I didn't want to wake her, so I left quietly.
|
||
|
||
I froze as I came face-to-face with Aditi. She stared at me.
|
||
I was nervous. "Hi," I said.
|
||
"Looking for something?"
|
||
"I uh... I came to talk to Monica but she's asleep," I said in a low
|
||
voice.
|
||
"You can wake her up."
|
||
"No! No! I don't want to disturb her."
|
||
"Is it important?" She asked.
|
||
"Yeah...uh..no! No, it's nothing, really."
|
||
"Okay. Good night," she said, as she turned to walk away.
|
||
|
||
"Uhmm... Aditi?"
|
||
She stopped and turned around, "Yes?"
|
||
"Can I talk to you for a sec?"
|
||
"What is it?"
|
||
"I'm sorry about what I said. I really am. And... and I feel terrible
|
||
about it." My voice was breaking. "Will you forgive me?" I could feel
|
||
my eyes welling up. No No No No No NO NO! Don't cry don't cry
|
||
don't cry don't cry don't cry!
|
||
"It's okay."
|
||
"Okay." My voice was barely a whisper. I was choking up.
|
||
I swung my head and wiped a tear. Fuck fuck fuck!
|
||
"Krsnah?"
|
||
"I'm sorry. Excuse me," I whispered, as I walked back to my cabin as
|
||
fast as I could.
|
||
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
I slammed the door shut and leaned against it. The hot streams
|
||
flowed down my cheeks. I closed my eyes. Okay! Deep breaths! Take
|
||
deep breaths!
|
||
I inhaled and exhaled.
|
||
I felt like there was this huge burden on my chest, and it was
|
||
weighing down on my heart.
|
||
|
||
There was a knock on the door.
|
||
"Krsnah?" Aditi. She'd seen it.
|
||
"Just a minute!" Fuck! My voice gave it away.
|
||
I wiped my face quickly as Aditi pushed open the door.
|
||
|
||
"Krsnah? What's going on? Are you crying?"
|
||
"No! No, it's just..."
|
||
"You're crying! Come here!"
|
||
Fresh hot springs flowed down my cheeks. Aditi pulled me in and
|
||
hugged me. "Hey! It's okay! Don't cry now," she said softly, caressing
|
||
my back.
|
||
"I'm sorry!"
|
||
"It's okay. Stop crying now."
|
||
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
It felt like an eternity in her arms. Finally, Aditi suggested that we lay
|
||
down.
|
||
I snuggled up in her arms, my face buried in her neck.
|
||
|
||
"Krsnah?"
|
||
"Hmmm?"
|
||
"Can I borrow one of your tshirts? Mine's wet from your tears."
|
||
It was an understatement. My tears had drenched her tshirt.
|
||
"Let me get one for you," I said, getting up. I pulled out a few of my
|
||
personal favorites and held them up for her. "Which one would you
|
||
like?"
|
||
"I'll take the grey one," Aditi said, reaching out for it.
|
||
I climbed back into the pod and watched her.
|
||
"Close your eyes," Aditi said, as she lifted her shirt.
|
||
"I wanna see!"
|
||
"Don't be silly! Now close your eyes!"
|
||
"Hey! You saw me down in my boxers! Well I wanna see too!"
|
||
"Krsnah, close your eyes or I'll leave now!"
|
||
"Alright alright! My eyes are closed now," I said, putting my hands
|
||
over my face.
|
||
Aditi laughed. "I know you can see me! Silly boy!"
|
||
"Okay! Okay! I won't look now!" I said, burying my face into the
|
||
pillow.
|
||
Aditi changed into my tshirt.
|
||
"Okay, you can look now," Aditi said.
|
||
I lay on my side. Aditi hovered over me. "So? How do I look?" she
|
||
asked.
|
||
"Like my wife!"
|
||
"Heh?"
|
||
"You know when couples get married, the wife wears the husband's
|
||
tshirts at night!"
|
||
Aditi rolled her eyes. "Krsnah, I'm not your wife."
|
||
"No?"
|
||
"No."
|
||
"Then give me my shirt back!" I said, pulling up the tshirt.
|
||
"Stop it!" she giggled.
|
||
I pulled her down on me. "Then say you're my wife!"
|
||
"I'm not your wife!" she smiled, gazing into my eyes.
|
||
"D'you know, you look really beautiful when you smile," I said softly.
|
||
Aditi blushed. "Tsk! Tsk! Are you flirting with me?" She pinched my
|
||
cheeks gently.
|
||
I gazed into her eyes, and then, I kissed her softly on the lips. She
|
||
ran her fingers across my cheeks, down my neck.
|
||
"I love you," I whispered.
|
||
She smiled, and then, she kissed me.
|
||
"Do you love me?" I asked.
|
||
She just smiled. "Go to sleep," she said softly, laying back down next
|
||
to me.
|
||
"I think you love me," I giggled.
|
||
"Krsnaaah! Go to sleep!"
|
||
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
I woke to Aditi's hair all up in my face.
|
||
I had my left leg and arm around her. My hand rested on her chest.
|
||
And, a boner that poked through of my shorts like a horizontal Eiffel
|
||
Tower.
|
||
|
||
I got up slowly and climbed over Aditi, who stirred awake.
|
||
Priyanka sat at my desk, reading.
|
||
She looked up and smiled brightly, "Morning soldier!"
|
||
I yawned and stretched. "Are you referring to him or me?"
|
||
Priyanka laughed, "Little Krsnah."
|
||
"That's my girl! Now that's what I'm talking about!" I gave her a high
|
||
five.
|
||
"I see you patched things up with her," Priyanka said, nodding at
|
||
Aditi.
|
||
"Yes I did," I smiled.
|
||
"That's good," she said, getting up, "Your morning brief's ready. I'll
|
||
update you while you get ready."
|
||
"Okay," I turned to Aditi and kissed her on the cheek, "I'm going to
|
||
take a shower. I'll catch you later, okay?"
|
||
"Okay," she smiled.
|
||
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Priyanka followed me to the bathroom.
|
||
"What are you doing?"
|
||
"Following you. Do whatever you have to do, and let me do my job,"
|
||
she said.
|
||
"And what exactly is your job when I'm taking a dump?"
|
||
"Briefing you. Don't worry. It sounds odd but you'll get used to it.
|
||
Now I've got your teams ready. I just want to run the names by you.
|
||
You can switch up the names depending on how you want them,"
|
||
Priyanka started.
|
||
"No, we'll go with your standard list," I said, sitting down on the
|
||
toilet.
|
||
"Okay! So I've got Charlotte, Gul, Aditi, Jhene, Kajol, Jacqueline,
|
||
Samantha, Sushmita, Tabassum and Urvashi on the F team. Then I
|
||
have Celeste, Jennifer, Lisa-"
|
||
I cut her off. "Hold up! Wait a minute! Now what exactly is the
|
||
F team?"
|
||
"Friends Krsnah, these will be your friends."
|
||
"F team sounds particularly like Fuck team or Fuckboy team. You
|
||
gotta change the team names. I want cool names! Not alphabets!"
|
||
"Fine," Priyanka said, crossing her arms, "You choose a name!"
|
||
"Turn around. You're making me nervous and I can't take a shit!" I
|
||
snapped.
|
||
"That's too long of a name," Priyanka said, then burst out laughing.
|
||
"Hahaaa! Very funny!"
|
||
"I'm joking. I'll put up a curtain on that side so you can have some
|
||
privacy," she offered.
|
||
"Thank you!"
|
||
"But I must remind you that the 6 of us in my team will have
|
||
unrestricted access to you at all times. We're essentially one with
|
||
you. We're a part of your existence now. That means we dine
|
||
together, we sleep together, we shower together, we do
|
||
everything together," Priyanka said.
|
||
"Well, where the fuck were you yesterday evening and all night?" I
|
||
snapped, "Sounds to me like you're a goddamn liar!"
|
||
"It was part of the plan," she replied.
|
||
"What plan?" I asked in surprise.
|
||
"The plan to patch things up between you and Aditi," she giggled.
|
||
"You! You motherfuckers!" I said angrily, "You set me up! Fucking
|
||
assholes!"
|
||
She laughed, "Well, it worked, didn't it?"
|
||
"Yeah, I guess so. Was Aditi a part of this?" I asked.
|
||
"Does it matter?"
|
||
I shrugged, "I guess not."
|
||
"Good. Now what team names do you want?"
|
||
"You'll be team alpha," I said thoughtfully, "The fighters will make
|
||
the delta team. I guess the rest don't really matter. How many
|
||
teams have you made?"
|
||
"Four teams so far," she said, "apart from your team and mine."
|
||
"Aren't these all my teams?"
|
||
"Yes, but I'm referring to the K team, remember?"
|
||
"Ah! Yes. Okay then! Put the list on my desk and I'll have a look at
|
||
it," I said.
|
||
"Will do."
|
||
"Now get the fuck out so I can shower in peace!"
|
||
"No, I'm not going anywhere," Priyanka said stubbornly.
|
||
"Fine, if you're going to see me naked, then I wanna see you
|
||
naked too!"
|
||
"I already took a shower," she smiled playfully.
|
||
"See, now you're being unfair!"
|
||
Priyanka walked up to me and put her arms around my shoulder.
|
||
"This is part of your training. You wanna go to Mars, don't you?" she
|
||
asked.
|
||
"Do people on Mars shower together?"
|
||
"They shower in crowds," she smiled, "Water is like gold on Mars."
|
||
"It must be really expensive," I said.
|
||
"It is. Not everyone can afford it."
|
||
"So what do they drink?"
|
||
"Purified bodily fluids, blood and mother's milk," she stated.
|
||
"Bodily fluids? That sounds like piss to me. Is that piss?"
|
||
"It's urine."
|
||
"Eeeeewww!" I made a face. "That's disgusting!"
|
||
"We've prepared a presentation on Mars. We'll show you
|
||
tomorrow," she said.
|
||
"Mother's milk - is that like breast milk?" I asked.
|
||
"It is breast milk," she laughed.
|
||
"I've had that before! You clones can produce it too, right?"
|
||
OOPS!
|
||
Shit shit shit shit!
|
||
I regretted it as soon as the words flew out of my mouth.
|
||
"Yeah! Yeah, how do you know that?" Her eyes widened, "Krsnaah?"
|
||
"What? I've got my sources!" I said, trying to act casual.
|
||
"Sources of milk!" she laughed.
|
||
"Haahaa! Very funny!"
|
||
"Who was it? Come on! Tell me!" she was prodding now.
|
||
"It was nobody!"
|
||
"Was it Aditi? It was Aditi, wasn't it?" she asked.
|
||
"No no! It was not Aditi! And this conversation is over! Get out!" I
|
||
pushed her out of the bathroom and shut the door.
|
||
Phew! That was a close one!
|
||
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Aditi's name was on the list. But she was already part of the K team.
|
||
I suppose that made her unique and special.
|
||
|
||
The second team had Celeste, Jennifer, Lisa and Jessica.
|
||
The third team had Ronda, Olivia, Neha and Parineeti.
|
||
The fourth team had Diana, Jessica, Milana, Patricia and Shriya.
|
||
The fifth team had Olivia, Neha and Parineeti. Again?
|
||
The sixth team had Ronda (again!), Vickie, Mickie, Candice, Melina,
|
||
Natalie, Gail, and Celeste.
|
||
|
||
"So, what do you think?" Priyanka asked, walking into my cabin.
|
||
"Why are some people in multiple teams?"
|
||
She shrugged, "They qualified for it."
|
||
"Interesting! So why not put them in the alpha team?" I asked.
|
||
"Because we're the alpha team. We're more qualified than them.
|
||
One of us can give you everything that several of them combined
|
||
cannot."
|
||
"Like what?"
|
||
"Like love," she said, gazing into my eyes.
|
||
"Love? Pffft! I know someone who didn't qualify to be in any team
|
||
that loves me more than anything in this universe!"
|
||
"Kriti?" she guessed.
|
||
"Damn right!"
|
||
She sighed, "Yeah, well, everyone on this list loves you, but they're
|
||
not a perfect match for you either. And Kriti didn't even make it on
|
||
this list."
|
||
"Doesn't matter! She's perfect for me!"
|
||
"You should give us all a chance," she said softly.
|
||
"I have."
|
||
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Alpha team had it's own cabin.
|
||
The pods were stacked like a bunk bed.
|
||
And I was welcome to sleep there any time.
|
||
|
||
Likewise, the other teams also got their own cabins.
|
||
Except the K team. They still had individual cabins, just like mine.
|
||
|
||
"You can have your own cabins if you want," I told Priyanka.
|
||
"I know," she smiled, "but it's better this way."
|
||
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Alpha and K teams gathered in the conference room in the evening.
|
||
Priyanka put on a movie - Mad Max: Fury Road.
|
||
"Hey! I've wached this movie!" I exclaimed.
|
||
"Yeah? Well pay attention to it, it's educational for you," Priyanka
|
||
said.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
