She picked red top, black jeans for tonight. Getting late, Rahul will be coming to pick her; he is already on the way. After taking bath, she look at herself in the mirror, red deep neck top, black jeans, dark red lip color. Her white skin glow, Rahul has reached waiting below her building. Tonight she is going to get good praise!
She looked at her watch, its already 9.00 p.m.
Rahul: Hey gorgeous! Looking lovely, ready for Metro’s night life?
Sunita: (Blushes) Thanks! Yes I am.
She set in the car, Rahul was on driving seat, and today he has promised her to show the red light area of the city. She is curious. She has never been to such a place.
Rahul: Miss. Why you want to see this particular area of the city?
Sunita: Just like that…
Rahul: Just like what?
Sunita: I want to see how they look, their dressing, their body language, I have never seen one.
Rahul: Oh! Like we go to zoo to see a lion, so you want to see mother/sister/wife etc in prostitution?
Sunita: what this nonsense?
Rahul: Nothing.
Geeta wore saree tonight. Indian man still want to see their woman in Indian dress, but the wife has become so modern. Wife is busy in kitty parties, they prefer mini/jeans/dress etc over saree, saree is being reserved for festivals. As white or black being reserved for mourning, suhagans simply avoided all these colors, that’s all are talk of past now. She usually prefer saree over western cloths, it attracts more customers, especially foreigner and youngsters, the shorter the dress the older the customers one will get. Geeta laughed at her own joke.
Rahul: How is your husband?
Sunita: Achhen hai!
Rahul: When will he return?
Sunita: Monday.
Rahul: Okay means on Sunday we can have our privacy.
Sunita: blushed and gave a peck on his cheek.
Rahul: Miss. behaves else I will take you to my flat not to show you the zoo.
Sunita: (Showing anger) Bad manners, we are not going to zoo.
Rahul: hmmm ok.
Rahul went in memory lane, when Sunita joined the office. She was a receptionist. No degree added since then, but now she is in management, by the degree of being a woman, she has pleased all her bosses. Rahul was a friend, every now and then she will tell him that he is cute and she misses him. She tries to spend most of her time with him. He was seven years younger to her. She keeps checking on him and he always gets some extra weekend meets whenever she feel like he is talking to other girls in the office. That is how she is spending weekend with him; else Mr. Sood was also very much eager to spend the weekend with her.
He turned the car to the lane of that area.
Geeta sanding on the street was waiting for her customer of night. She is here since she was 14, she is getting old, soon she will be thrown on the streets to beg, after years of this she has a room of her own that is all she has managed. She doesn’t want to become a beggar, now a days whatever she earns save in the bank account which she could open with the help of one of the social workers. Social worker has told her that they rehabilitate prostitutes, she can do some job which will be taught by them, work of Grihudyog. Making paper,silayi, kadhai etc. People say even such NGOs are not nice as they sound. They sell ladies to countries like Kuwait/Dubai etc. She is planning to relocate in some new city with all her savings, she will also sale her room; will go to some small city.
Sunita: See their makeup , dark and glossy. How cheap they look na?
Rahul: Cheap? Why so?
Sunita: Oh sorry-sorry, seems you like them.
Rahul: Yes I love them!
Sunita: Ha ha ha. Nice joke. See that one in saree.
Rahul: (Looked at the woman Sunita was pointing at. The lady had put dark makeup on her face but she looks lost somewhere, may be in problems of her life.) What to see in her?
Sunita: Arey, she shall know man doesn’t like girls in Indian dresses anymore. She shall know how to market self, poor she, see that is why she looks sad, must be facing difficulty in getting customer.
Rahul stopped the car and asked the lady in saree to come in.
Geeta: Sahib Rs. 500 lagega. (When she saw Sunita) Nahi sahib main aurton ke saath nahi jaungi.
Sunita started laughing.
Rahul: Come in we will take you to treat tonight, won’t do anything with you. At returning will pay you Rs. 1000/-
Geeta smiled opened the door of car and sit on back seat.
Sunita turned to Geeta
Sunita: Kya naam hai?
Geeta: Geeta
Rahul: Geeta, meet her she is Sunita.
Geeta: Hello Madam
Sunita: Hi! Do you speak English?
Geeta: Yes madam.
Rahul: Geeta, Sunita Madam will tell you tonight how you shall dress and what you shall do to get more customers, she feels you don’t know the traits of your business, as far as I have been seeing her since years she knows all these traits better than you, she is also in same business.
Sunita: How dare you talk like this? (Sunita became red in fury)
Rahul: What ? What have I said wrong? You are married and have slept with five men I know to get promotions; I feel sincerely you will be a good teacher for Geeta.
Sunita: (Even louder) I slept with them? I did because they were dying to sleep with me, I have not taken any privilege, I got promotions because I deserve it. What are you? Jealous? This is what you think of me?
Rahul: laughed
Geeta: Sahib aise kyun bolte ho? Kaun si aurat apni marzi se ye sab karti hai? Madam ki koi majburi rahi hogi. Admi sab to hote hi hai aise, aurat se chahiye hi kya unhe!
Rahul: Geeta, madam aur tum me fark hai, tumhe jine ke liye paise chahiye, bhookh bardast nahi kar saki hogi, sadak pe kaise rahogi to aayi hogi yahan. Madam, ke paas ghar tha, pati tha, pita the, ab tak bachhe nahi hai, fir bhi inhe behtar zindagi ke liye ye sab karna padta hai. Inhe to traits bhi pata hai tumse samjhdar hai ye.
Sunita: Stop the car. Don’t you ever dare to talk to me or meet me! You B*****. Enjoyed all the time with me now calling me whore?
Rahul: Sunita chill. I am not saying you are wrong. I just don’t found it ethical to use the word “Whore” for anyone. As much as I respect you I respect Geeta too. If even being a woman, you feel in this way for her it’s a shame for our society.
Sunita: I don’t want any lectures from you, how you dared to do all these. How you dared to talk to me like this, stop the car, I don’t want to see your face again.
Rahul stopped the car, Sunita got down, Rahul took Geeta for dinner then with double amount of money dropped her back to her home. He also gave her his number, for any need in future.
Geeta felt it was one of the good nights of her life. She thanked her god and felt Rahul was sent by god. For the first time she met a person who has respected her and was not ashamed to take her to public place or make her meet his friends. She felt more determined to relocate and have a small business with a new easy life.
