Uma, you know, is always my centre of activities. I keep concentrating on her.. every movement of her.. every moment of her. That's why I was quite active in the evening on Sunday.
Yesterday, as I told you, was eventful. Vasu left for his home town by train; Remani decided to get back her home, and not staying at night; and Changes in positions of the remaining.
Yeah, I accompanied Uma and Padma while they were shifting Padma's baggage and other personal artifacts from the upper bedroom (where she was for the last four nights, with Vasu) to Uma's bedroom (in the ground floor). Remani was Uma's room-mate for these days. Sunday evening, she too left for home (to return on Monday morning). I am lonely in my floor now ! My remote eye in the other bedroom is of no use now on. Ok, let me see how Uma handles the new situation. I am sure she'll do it very nicely.
It was Uma's decision to shift kunjamma to her bedroom. May be she would like to show the "properness" (?) of arrangements. Is it improper for Padma to sleep in a bedroom next to mine ? I am sure, Uma would answer 'No". Would Padma object to being there? Here too the answer would be a 'No'. But to satisfy the "properness", Uma did it all. May be, Padma too would like this arrangement.
Remani left in the evening, just before dusk. Pai returned from Rly Station and was with me for some time ( He likes to gulp a peg, which I used to give him in private). Uma and Padma were in their bedroom.
As usual, at about 9 pm, Uma came to call me for dinner. She came in, and was talking a bit loud to me.. as if to say others that there's no secrets.. ( is it ? ). However, I told her in low voice, to do her best, in the night. She understood that I am interested to watch not only Uma, but Padma too. My virtual eye in her room is almost a permanent installation.
In the night, after ten, these ladies were chatting continuously.. about her father, the treatment, and about me too. However, after the long wait, by 11, things started happening. Uma looked at my eye there, and winked at me. It was time for them for a wash, before going to bed.
Uma was with a churidar, and without the shawl. She went to the bath room. Kunjamma was with her saree. She started changing ..... (stripping).. saree first, then blouse, paavada, ....and there's nothing inside... and then her bodice. .... , and took a mundu lying on the bed. She wore the mundu.. and now have the mundu and blouse only; like last day. I know that's her night dress. She was ready for her wash.
Uma came out of the bath room, and seeing kunjamma in the changed dress, was surprised. She looked at the cam and smiled at me. She was stroking her right hand (palm) on the left hand middle finger.. Oh she tells me to .... . Oh God, what's this girl (to me she is ) up to ? Uma didn't change her dress, and went on to the bed. Oh.. She's not going to show me off .. may be she has other good intentions .. Let me hope so !
