A Love Blast From the Past

I am reminded of an incident almost 2 decades back. At that time as a youngster, I dreamed of many things and one of those was making love to an American girl, a pure white girl. One can say, it was a stupid fantasy in a way it was, but I had a fixation after watching so many Hollywood actresses at that time including Jennifer O’Neal and Jacqueline Bisset. Two decades passed in (Service) and the dream faded away in between I had an affair with a Russian girl and the American dream was put in cold storage. But Krishna has a strange way of looking after his believers. As a wing commander at the age of 42, I was asked to proceed to America along with the Air Staff Inspection team. It was to be a visit for 10 days and we were to study the American method of inspections by interacting with the American team Air team.

I will not mention the bases of where we went except to say that we landed at a prominent air defence center and very soon briefings began after the briefing was over I came out and one of the LT Cols of the American Airforce asked me if he could be of any help, I must tell him.’ I told him,” I love motorbike driving, and I wanted a motorbike to move around the country>”

He thought for a moment, “I can give you Harley but friend, you won’t be able to go very far because you’re in a course. Yeah, and you have to be attending classes also as well as a briefing.”

“I won’t go very far,” I replied,” just around the camp and maybe a few kilometers into the countryside.”

He said,” That’s fine. Come with me.”

He gave me a Harley, the fat boy I hadn’t driven a Harley earlier, and he told me not to worry because it's a very powerful machine. All I had to do was to keep looking at the road and take care of myself and the bike would take care of me..

I asked him if I could start straight away

“Yes,” he replied, “ you can come back for the dinner because we are going to have a dining-in-night today You know it’s a very important ceremonial occasion and it’s very important. Both our teams will raise a toast to our cooperation.”

“Don’t worry,” I replied

I drove to the guardroom and a beautiful girl, perhaps a corporal came out. One look at her and I was smitten by her beauty. She was slim and her rank badges were on her shoulders. She was fair, slim with long legs. She was the most enticing thing I’ve seen in a long time, she came up to me to check my identity card and mentioned,” You come from India?”

“Yes,” I replied,” we are going to be here for 10 days.”

“That is so nice,” she replied, “I have not been to India but heard a lot about it and the beautiful monument, The Taj Mahal.”

After a moment, she asked me,” Where are you going?

“No where just driving around the place.”

“You know the roads,” she asked

“No,” I replied, “but my GPS will guide me.”

“That means you have no fixed agenda”

“That is right”

She thought for a moment and said,” Sir, my duty is over. Can you just drop me at my apartment and then you can carry on.”

My heart was beating so fast that I feared it was going to burst out of my breast. “Yes,” I replied, “it is a great pleasure.”

“Will you wait a great moment and I’ll change to Mufti and will be back in a minute.”

I switched off the Harley’s engine and waited. She came out in a lovely short frock and blouse, and I could make out the girl was very lovely, I was wondering if such a girl must have a lot of boyfriends.

She sat in the back, and I started the bike and moved out. “Where do you want to go? “I asked.

“I will give you the directions” " she said,” take me to my apartment and drop me there.”

I was driving the bike and the girl was sitting at the back. She was giving me instructions. After about 15 minutes of driving, we reached the set of houses and she said,” You can stop here and I will get off.”

I stopped the Harley and she popped off the machine and was heading towards the door which was just about 10 feet away. I thought I should make the first move and told the girl,” I need some payment for dropping you here”

“Payment,” she was surprised.

I laughed and said,” You could call me for a cup of coffee.”

“Sir, you are an officer and I am an NCO. Normally officers are not supposed to fraternise with NCOs.”

I laughed. “Don’t make that an excuse to get away from inviting me for coffee. In any case, there is nobody here to see that an officer like me is dining with an NCO.”

She signaled with her hand for me to come, and I put the bike on its stand and moved with alacrity toward the NCO.

“What’s your name?” I asked.

“Sally,” she replied

“Okay, Sally,” I said,” I hope you’re going to make a good cup of coffee”

She smiled and I could make out that her smile was wonderful and she put the key in the lock and opened the door and went inside. It was a small apartment, but very well kept, and then she went into the kitchen to make coffee.

She came out with 2 cups handed one to me and said,” Please drink it. I hope you like it.”

I sipped the coffee and told her,” It’s very nice as good as you are.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean that you are very beautiful and I suppose you have a lot of boyfriends.”

“No,” she replied, “I don’t have boyfriends because I have a condition”

“What is that?”

“I will be the friend of any boy who can beat me in sword fencing.’

“That is something very silly.”

“It’s my fixation.”

“Are you a fencer?

“ Yes, It's a sport I love and have several wonderful poinards.”

“Yes, it is a wonderful sport, but I haven’t played it any time.”

“Would you like to play now?”

“Well, I don’t mind. I suppose it is pretty harmless.”

She looked at me smiled, and said,” No it is not harmless. You can lose some blood as well.”

I felt something was wrong and I told her,” Don’t bother. I think I’ll go after the coffee.”

“You seem to have developed cold feet”

The word stuck like a hammer and I replied,” No, I will play the game with you.”

She went away and came back in a skimpy dress that put her body to advantage, and there was no doubt that she was the loveliest girl I had ever seen. Maybe she was beautiful because of the sword fencing and the exercises that go with it.

After we had drunk the coffee, she mentioned,” If you pass the fencing, Test, you can stay for dinner. Otherwise, you can get on your bike and go home.”

I was reminded of my training in the Academy days where I had done a lot of boxing. I remember Sergeant shouting at me,” Singh I want stronger punches from you.”

Sally returned with two swords and she gave one of them to me. “That’s a good sword, I have given you. It’s one of the best with me. It’s very sharp and can draw my blood.”

“Are you serious?” I asked.

“You think I’m not serious,” she swished her sword in the air and the way she swished showed she was a professional.

I took the sword in my hand and got ready. A 42-year-old man was going to face a 21-year-old girl in a match.

That is the time I prayed to Lord Krishna and told him to keep my respect. I said I have followed you for the last four decades. Now is the time for you to see that I don’t lose. Just then a flower from the photo of Jesus, where I think Sally had put a small garland fell and it looked a little peculiar to me but perhaps this was the signal, the Lord had sent that I could go into battle with this girl.

“Okay,” I said,” let’s go”. She came at me and slashed at me with her poinard. I was alert and I paired the blow with my hand and the first round was on. She now stood before me and we touched epees together, and she was using her sword to try to get a break, and I was defending. It was because of military training and the inherent fitness that I held one for some time. Her blows were paired by me, and then she came, and this time there was deadly intent in her eyes, and now I knew that I was going to get into trouble. I decided that I must take the game away from her on my ground and with my superior strength I hit a massive blow to the epee which she held in her hand. Probably she hadn’t ever received such a blow and that was the point because the sword fell from my hand and clattered away some distance. I now placed my poniard at her neck and blouse and pulled it and the blouse came off

“What are you doing?”She said,” Let me get my epee back because what you have done is not the correct way to fight.”

“For me, it is the correct way,” I said

I move forward and pull the blouse off. She had small brazier breasts and marveled at their beauty. “

“You can’t do this. This is not part of the game. Give me back my sword and I will teach you a lesson, you will never forget”.

“No,” I said,” you had your chance and you lost and now the ground is mine.”

I was overtaken by passion. Perhaps Lord Krishna had come to me. She was wearing a dress that did not stand the pressure of my strength and it gave away, the buttons broke and she was bare. She tried to cover herself. “You haven’t played the game fair and Square,” she says.

“Well,” I said,” warriors take what they get.”

I did something spontaneously. I just lifted her in my arms went to the adjacent room with the bed and threw her on it. Very soon. I had divested myself of my shirt and trousers and enveloped her in my arms. I kissed her as never before, and suddenly I saw her getting limp.

“Don’t” she says.

“It is the law of nature. I am the warrior and you have lost.”

She didn’t say anything. I did not pull the panty down but put my hand in the elastic and pulled it up. The flimsy garment was not used to such strength and it tore at the seam and Sally was completely nude.

But a strange thing has happened. She will not protest now as I applied my lips to her breast, and began to kiss her. I moved down to the soft curls and soon I heard nothing but sighs and orgasm as she crossed her legs around my head.

What followed was a delight into a land where very few go. Very soon I possessed Sally and this time she reciprocated. It was not long before I prayed my tribute to the temple and collapsed, breathing heavily. She had put her arms around me and kissed me and said you are a very brave man. I have never met anyone like you, but now you stay here.”

“But there is a dining-in- night”

“Forget about it. I will not let you go.”

The entire night was passed in rare transport of joy. I had in the meanwhile telephoned, the team leader the Air Commodore that I had a stomach ache and was excused from the dining- in- night.

”Not to worry boy, he said we can manage without you.”

That night in my 42 years was the most glorious, I’ve ever spent. It was a dream which I had for two decades and it had been fulfilled. It seemed like I never had enough of Sally and so it continued till the early hours of the morning when exhausted, I went to sleep with Sally curled beside me.

I woke up in the morning and saw Sally still fast asleep. I repeatedly kissed her and told her good morning. She woke up and went to the washroom came out and said we will have some breakfast now.

I did something very silly. I didn’t go back to the camp and it was five days of bliss. I wouldn’t let her go for duty also and she agreed. Mind you, we didn’t have another fencing match. All the matches we had were either on the couch, the bed, or the rug in the living room. It was just eating, drinking, wine or whiskey, and exploring each other.

As I came into her again, she kissed me and said,” I have no protection I don’t know what’s going to happen.”

“Well,” I replied, “ if something happens, please let me know.”

“What will you do?”

“Take you away and make you mine forever”

She left and kissed me

The thought that I would impregnate, thrilled me, and once more, I felt myself rising. Another encore followed and soon six days elapsed and I got a call from my leader. He said,” Commander I have come to know everything. You come back now because I understand your position. Don’t worry I’m not gonna take any action and we are going back. That is important.”

“Thank you very much, sir,” I said “ But how do you know all this?”

“Commander, I didn’t become Commodore if didn't keep track of everything. I know what’s happening and goodbye and come back.”

I told her I would be going away. She kissed me again and now it was to be the last time and once more I carried her to the bed. This time she looked like a virgin and again I had gone to the land of love a beautiful place, with flowers and roses all around and I closed my eyes, I could see nothing but the beauty. There were clouds floating and angels singing and maybe it was my imagination but I saw the chariot of Lord Krishna and he was moving across the heavens. I emptied my essence into her and then left. I joined my team. They were inquisitive as to where I had gone. I told them that I had gone to meet some relations and one of them had serious health problems and I couldn’t come. The plane took off, and I landed in Agra.

Six months elapsed and I got up in the morning when my telephone rang. I was a little surprised and I looked at the caller ID and the visible number showed this was a call from America I lifted the receiver, it was the voice of Sally

“You want to know, the result of that beautiful time we spent together.”

“Yes, what’s happened?

“I’m getting a baby,” she said

My heart began to beat fast. I was, a 42 bachelor, and she was 21 and was carrying my baby. What was I supposed to do?

I finish the story here friends and leave you to guess the ending; did I go back and bring her or or I just ignore her? Your guess is as good as mine but that will mean another story, so goodbye. Enjoy whatever I have written
