The sister’s dilemma!
One afternoon, they were alone in the entire house. It was just a regular two storeyed house, with noisy neighbours, dogs barking, same old titter-tatter of the neighbouring ladies etc. etc. They had just closed the room door and weren’t doing anything great, just watching a soft romantic movie. She was sleepy and so was he. It was quite dark inside the room and all of a sudden it starts raining. The hullabaloo outside, starts diminishing and the thunder noise takes its place. Still, they are watching the movie. Suddenly, he gets up from the bean bag, on which he was lying and comes and sits beside the bean bag where she was half lying and half sitting. She didn’t react at all. He started stroking her hand, which he always did. That was again very normal. The next thing that came is nothing rare, but we consider very emotional or animal-like instincts. He slowly started stroking her belly and then, what followed is, very simple to guess.
When I was told this, it sounded like a day-to-day affair and I told her, that’s an ordinary story. I asked her about the reason she was telling me all this. To my surprise, she started howling. Tears rolled down her cheeks and she became uncontrollable. I tried my best to help her out. Eventually, her crying died out and she gathered all the courage to spit out the truth.
“He was a brother to me”, she said. I gasped, as I was trying the right words to say. Finally, I asked her if it was her cousin brother with whom this happened, knowing that she was the only child of her parents. “I tied raakhi to him every year since I was seven and we have been together in the school, since god knows, ages”. What came later, was a shock to me. I couldn’t make out what she was saying, because my mind started thinking about the relevant and irrelevant things that could happen and that had happened. The rest, fell onto deaf ears, and my response became very feeble. I was just thinking.
She actually considered him a brother and how could she? O my god !
Making love is normal, but with her brother?
But he was not a real brother, so is it ok?
Love knows no barrier, is it true?
They say love is blind, is it the reason this happened?
Their story started from being “brother-sister to making-love to an honest full-grown relationship”. Is it something that can be approved off?
Certain things, they maybe right, but beyond explanations!
NB: Raakhi is a holy thread which sisters tie to their brother, according to many Hindu traditions for their safety and in return, it’s the brother’s duty to protect his sister.
Welcome to my world, where everything is not as it seems. You need to read between the lines, scratch your head a bit and pull out a few strands of hair. Drop me a line if you still don't understand what I write about. Thanks for dropping by! :)
Quite a story… Seems like a perfectly natural thing to happen. Just because someone ties a piece of thread to someone, doesnt mean they become blood relatives… People fall in love all the time, and always, there’s no explanation for the forces of love… Its the one unexplained phenomenon that remains…
BTW, when a girl ties a rakhi, isn’t it the brother’s duty to give expensive chocolates to her in return??

i dont know. my brother always buys me a gift in return.lol.
hai
wat does hai mean?
you’ve written something which u hope would shock ppl into commenting… however, you’ve left out the climax… u refrain from saying that they both fucked… ok, in lesser terms… hehe… but still, u leave it at the belly rub and let the readers imagine… i found this a bit annoying as a reader… no one judges u on a blog, chucks.. u dont need to be shy of saying stuff out… this is one forum where anything goes, except outright vulgarity and obscenity…
your style of writing is somewhat different than mine… I am more light and a little anal when it comes to profanities… you on the other hand, are a bit more relaxed… i actually like to read what u write, more than the content, the relatively un-complicated language u use…
no nonsense simplicity…
u need to work on your grammar, though…
I hope you dont mind such a long comment… Since you’re new to blogging, I thought I’d direct you in the right path…
Cheers!

thank u so much yaake. i really appreciate this. i ll keep in mind wat u said. ya i agree, my grammar is a little screwed. but cant help it man. since the day i landed to aussie land, it has started becoming worse.
and about the belly rub thing and fucking, well, it was obvious, so i didnt say it. even a 5 year old could say wat happened next. lol. hope u dont mind me arguing!!! lol.
Damn is it a true incident? Or just your imagination? Don’t tell me its true because then I have a long comment ready for it.
Yaake, wow. you are a critic. LoL
Cheers

## suda ## its a true incident. happened to one of my friends. i was definitely shocked. please lemme know wat u have to say about it. because i myself has not been able to understand if its a normal thing or can u acutally justify wat ever happened.
i have many rakhi brothers and yes,though tying a piece of thread like nikhil says doesnt ensure such things dont happen,surely bro n sis share a bond that is something else,my brothers r protective and caring..this episode is horrifying and i find it almost fictional ! esp the fact that she kept quiet and did not oppose to it ?what does that mean?
ah well,….i think both of them had their hormones messed up big time ! sheesh
## meghana ## i wish this was totally fictional. but every word of this is true. has happened, and this is just one incident. there was a particular girl in my college as well, my senior, she also did something of that sort. and everybody initially used to laugh at her. and then ignore her completely. i can give u a number of examples on that.
thanks for dropping by.
“She actually considered him a brother and how could she? O my god!
Making love is normal, but with her brother?”
Interesting to see that you reserve your ‘judgment’ for the girl in question! What about the guy? Why does he get no flak? After all, in many years of having a ‘rakhi’ tied on his wrist, did he not implicitly agree to a particular kind of brotherly relationship too? (Anyway it is interesting to know that there are some brothers and sisters who watch “romantic” films together! My brothers won’t be caught dead watching a chick-flick of any sort, that is if one can wrest control of the DVD remote long enough from them to insert such a DVD into the player in the first place! But I digress.)
I think you are portraying the kind of dilemmas youngsters face when they are not in the cultural context of collectivism that keeps them in line; when they have to think for themselves, they find themselves rejecting certain notions but feel guilt at such desertion at the same time.
However if there were ‘consent’ issues in this whole deal, then this is a very serious issue for the girl, who must take it to the police.
Thanks for stopping by at my blog earlier.
no consent issues. no body got raped. she s perfectly happy with the relationship. but my question is, “is this thing acceptable?”. i was no so sure about that. so i just thought of penning it down.
and by the way, they are more than happy. weird as it sounds, the guy always has this feeling of guilt. its a little messed up but yet clear. clear for them now, and messed up for anyone as an outsider.
i had this senior in my college, who used to first call this guy her brother and then we would see them openly sitting in coffee day, hand in hand, hands and mouth everywhere. well, its shocking. but its true too. these two incidences are not hidden. they are quite public. but there are many hidden cases as well.
that s all i have to say. thanks a lot for dropping by.
chucks.
