Please mail me your comments and compliments at vinoth02102@gmail.com Silently, Dheeraj followed Adam to his home. Dhee was scared for his life inside his heart. He was sensing that sooner or later, the truth would surface, and it would cause tremendous damage to his future. Emma, with a cute smile, welcomed Dhee into the house. Chris and Emily joined her in bringing Dee inside the home. Chris told Dhee to join them on the couch. Dhee was nervous, and he was doing all he could to hide it. He was willing to sit on the couch, still wondering how Adam would react to that move. Looking at Dhee's nervousness, Adam felt his ego satisfied. Already, he concluded that Dhee was still following all the earlier terms and conditions. Chris and Emily were wondering what makes Dhee so nervous. Then Adam told Dhee in a loud voice to sit down. With a sigh and discomfort, Dhee sat on the couch. Emily asked Dhee what the issue was. Dhee responded, saying that he did not know the cause. Chris was talking about his work schedule and travel plans. He informed Dhee that he loved his children a lot. He informed Dee that Adam was a good cricket player and Emma was a cute drawing artist. Dhee appraised both kids in front of his father. He was trying to avoid eye contact with Adam. Sometimes Adam was talking about some random thing, and Dhee was forced to direct his gaze at Adam. By the time it approached 9:00 in the evening, Emily had called all the people into the dining room. Adam said that Dhee would sit beside him and Chris and Emma would sit opposite. Emily would sit in the centre. Everyone occupied their place and started having dinner. Here, the dinner was a traditional English dinner with roasted meat, grilled fish, sandwiches, and Tea. Dhee preferred to eat as little as possible. Because his appetite had been long gone since the moment he sat beside Adam. To make Dhee more and more uncomfortable, Adam would put more and more meat into Dhee's dish. Then, in a very low voice, he would tell Dhee to eat it. After eating that, when Adam tried to serve more, Dhee gently requested, "Please master. I am stuffed". Emma was observing Dhee with sheer interest, and suddenly she popped the question" Why did you call Adam master?". It caught the attention of both Chris and Emily, and they also asked the same question: " Adam is just a kid. Why do you call him master?". Adam was grinning like a cat, looking at Dhee's face expectantly. Dhee's mind had an excellent response to this embarrassing situation. He confidently replied, " I refer to young boys as masters, sir. It's my habit. I do not have any specific reason to do so.". Adam expressed his disappointment with his eyes. Emma asked another question. "What do you call young girls?" Dhee immediately responded" I call them princesses." Emma clapped her hands in jubilation. The situation was eased off for Dheeraj. But he made it to the point that he needed to call Emma and the other girls princesses. Dinner was concluded at 10:00, and Dhee tried to bid farewell to the guests. Looking at his eagerness to run away, Adam tried to interfere. "Can I show my room to Dheeraj, dad?" He asked Chris for a permission. Chris nodded in agreement. Then Adam led Dee along the stairs. Once both of them entered his room, Adam closed the door immediately and ordered Dhee to kneel. Dhee immediately complied and knelt on the floor. Adam: Good, somehow you managed for today. Dhee; Thank you, master. I hope I did not cause you any problems. Adam: No, you did not cause any problems. But I'm thinking about telling Mom and Dad about you. Dhee: No master. Please don't do that. I am obeying your every command, and I am not following any other boy. Please don't do that. My life will be ruined. Adam: Are you visiting your lady friends now? Dheeraj silently bowed his head without any response. Adam: Stop seeing the ladies and meeting your friends. Once your work is over, strictly stay at home. I will come one day, and if you are not present at your home, then you consider it over. Understand? Dhee: Yes, master! Adam: Now lay on your back. Dhee immediately complied. Adam then placed his right foot on Dhee's crouch and started pressing. Dhee became very uncomfortable and subconsciously tried to remove the foot with his hands. Immediately, Adam removed his foot but kicked very hard into Dhee's balls. A big yelp came out of Dhee's mouth, but immediately he closed his mouth and started wincing in pain. Unable to bear the pain, Dhee silently sobbed. Adam: Hey pig! Do you want more? Dheeraj: No, master! Adam: You should never even try to touch my foot with your filthy hands. Do you understand? Dhee: Yes, master! Adam: Stop your sissy crying. Let's get downstairs. Dhee tried to control his sobbing. But the pain didn't let him stop. With a cringy voice, he asked Adam, "Sir, can I wash my face in your washroom? Adam: Does any girl wait downstairs to see your ugly, crying face? No need. Let's go down. Dhee requested that Adam wait for two more minutes. Adam wanted to tease further by kicking once more, but he felt momentarily pity for crying Dhee. He waited for 2 minutes. Dhee silently cleaned his face with a handkerchief. Then Adam led the way again, and slowly, Dhee followed him. While walking, Dhee was limping as the kick's pain had not subsided. Chris and Emily wondered why Dheeraj was behaving abnormally. Adam: He twisted his ankle while going up the stairs, MOM. Emily: Hoh! OK, be careful, Dhee. Dhee at last bade farewell to the host family and silently reached his room. He was cursing himself. Why the hell did he land in this particular locality? Why did he follow the boy? Why take all the pain? Everything was preventable, but his mind did not act correctly. Now he was suffering. By the time Dhee woke up in the morning, there was no pain in his balls. But he immediately remembered the warning, " Not to go anywhere." Once again, he cursed himself for all his negative luck and started getting ready for the office. At 10.30 in the morning, while he was in the laboratory, he received a call from Chris. Looking at the call, Dhee sighed "Not again". Begrudgingly, he left the lab and went into an office space. Dhee: Hi sir! Chris: I need you exactly at my home by 6 p.m. Don't try to skip the meeting. Immediately, Chris disconnected the call. Now Dee's breath started to be erratic. He felt his lungs were cramping. The intensity in Chris's voice suggests that something Dhee had screwed up. What could Dhee screw up at Chris's home? Adam might have opened up, Dhee considered. He felt pity for himself. Just one day before, he was treated like a god, and today he would be ready to be sent to jail. Dhee couldn't stand it anymore. He rushed into a nearby vacant office room and started crying. He understood that his free days were over and that his jail term would start soon. There was nowhere to run. All the respect he gained at the research centre and all the good reputation he gained at home in India would now be dumped. Even the slightest thought of what all the women screwed by him would think of him! A lot of thoughts were swirling in Dhee's mind. He went into the lab and ensured that the experiment had been stopped. Absent-mindedly, he joined his fellow scholars for lunch and tried to talk casually. But the panic in his heart did not let him go. Tried to concentrate on documentation work, but he couldn't. He was counting his free minutes. And the office was closed. Reluctantly, he headed home. There was nothing he could do to avoid the grilling session. He reached home and tried to act normally. But nothing was working for him. As usual, he was sweating like a pig. And just 5 minutes before the scheduled 6'o'clock in the afternoon, he started towards Adam's home. By the time he reached Adam's house, Chris and Emily were eagerly waiting. Immediately, they rushed Dhee inside their home and started grilling. Emily; Both Emma and Adam went for their play. Now tell us: Did you already know Adam before yesterday's meeting? Dhee is staring at the floor. Chris: Why are you sweating now? It's very cool here. And yesterday you were calling him sir. And was very comfortable in his presence? Was something bothering you with Adam? Dhee decided to tell the truth. He'd be better off sleeping peacefully in jail. Until he is scared of Adam and tries to hide the fact, he can never sleep peacefully. Dhee: Yes, I knew Adam before. I saw him at the playground. Chris: But why are you so frigid in his presence? You always look worried when he is around! Dhee: I will tell you the truth. But I request that you show some mercy on me. I saw your boy in the playground. On the first day, I fell in love with him. He was the first boy to whom I was attracted. I followed him to your home for three days. On the third day, in the evening, he came to my room and kicked my balls. He gave me a strict warning not to follow him anymore. I stopped following him. But I do not know the reason. In his presence, my body and mind go into panic mode. That's the reason I never felt comfortable in his presence. Emily was immediately shocked and kept her hand on her mouth in disbelief. Chris also looked surprised. "Are you a paedo?" Chris angrily asked: "I never thought that I would invite a paedo into my home!" Dhee: Believe me, sir. I never acted badly toward him. I was shit scared in his presence. Just his stare is enough to kill me. How would I act like a paedo in front of him? And trust me, sir, I never followed him further! The couple stayed in shock for a while. They told Dhee to step outside for a while and wait. With a humiliated and insulted heart, Dhee stepped outside and waited for his fate to be decided. After 10 minutes of waiting, Chris called him back in. Then he told Dhee," Now we will talk with Adam. If we find out that Adam also says the same as you, you would be spared. But if Adam tells you differently, then be assured that you are going behind bars." Dhee nodded and kept quiet. The couple did not even bother to offer a seat for Dhee. Dhee was wondering inside. "What a fucked-up life I have! I saved this guy's life, and now he is threatening to send me to prison. Yeah, that's true for the paedophiles. They always live scared and humiliated." Adam and Emma returned from play around 7:00 in the evening. Dhee immediately stood in attention, sensing the presence of Adam, and cute Emma, unaware of all the proceedings, greeted Dhee with a beautiful smile. Nervously, Dhee returned her greetings. Immediately, Emily told Emma to watch Tele for a while. Chris and Emily called Adam into another room, and they motioned for Dhee to follow them. Adam: What happened, Mom and Dad? Why do we meet here? Chris: Son, did you know this guy before? Before answering, Adam investigated Dhee's eyes. Dhee nervously bent his head. Adam: Yes, dad, I know him already. Chris: What was the story behind you knowing him? Then Adam told the exact same story that Dhee had already told them. The couple thought for a while, and Chris started his talk. Chris: You see, Adam, this guy named Dhee saved my life. One way or another, me and your mother would be very grateful for his help. It doesn't mean that we will not consider your wellbeing. If you seriously consider Dhee to be a threat, then we will never hesitate to make him leave this place and never let him stalk you. But if you are OK with him and are not affected by his presence, then we would not like to disturb his life. Personally, I feel he is very good and safe, but if you think that he is not worthy to be in our vicinity, then we will ask him to leave. Whatever you say would be final. Adam began thinking for a while, and Dee was also nervously waiting for his future outcome. Then Adam spoke: Dad, this guy doesn't deserve a place in our family. He is never a threat to me. Have you ever observed? He would be very nervous in my presence. He is very scared of me. Sometimes, I feel very proud when I think that an elder is scared of me. You know, it gives me some sort of satisfaction. I don't mind his presence here. In fact, I am about to ask you for......! Chris, Emily, and Dhee looked at Adam expectantly. Emily asked her son, "What are you about to ask for?" Adam looked at Dee's face with severe intensity, and Dhee immediately understood that Adam would say something that would cause him pain. Adam, Mom, and Dad! I too feel this guy is good, and he saved your life. Yeah! I understand that it was indeed a great help for our family. But I don't know what the reason is. I still feel he is very inferior to us. I know it sounds racist! But I have respect for all my Asian friends. But looking at this guy, I always want to cause him humiliation. Before we met him yesterday, the last time, he suffered a lot in my hands. And I thought that I would never see his face again. But as his fate decided, he came into our lives by saving your life. You know that he loves me. In fact, the first time I heard that from his mouth, I felt disgusted, and I punished him. I decided to leave him after treating him a second time. Now he's even touched your lives. As a token of gratitude, I decided to let him be near us. He can come to our home, chat with you, play with Emma, and stay with me in my room too. But he needs to win my heart. I know saving your life was a worthy one for him, but it doesn't change my current opinion of him. Maybe he stays here until his education is completed; we frequently meet him. If you agree, he can love me freely without any worries. But I do not assure him that he will get my love in return. He is good at studies, so he can help me with my studies and Emma's as well. But if he is willing, I will let him stay with me and take punishment. Someday, I may (mostly may not) treat him as an equal and start respecting him. Listening to all this, Chris and Emily looked at each other's faces. They went outside the room, leaving Adam and Dhee inside, and returned after 5 minutes. Chris; OK Dhee, as Adam just now told us, we decided to let you reside in this locality and you can stay with us without any worries. Though we feel very obnoxious thinking about you loving our son, since you are not a threat to him, we will let you be free with us. We understand that your intentions are sexual, but looking at your nervousness in front of Adam, we do not feel worried anymore about that. Yeah! You can live here, and you are always welcome in our home. Dhee was wondering, looking at all this. Everyone was talking about him, but no one was asking what his opinion was! But he did not want to drag it out till the end. He decided it would be better to terminate any relationship with this family. He clearly understood that his mind and body would be in default panic mode in front of Adam. Though the opportunity presented itself, he would not do anything with Adam. Adam would keep beating him, irrespective of his behaviour. This all looked unnecessary for Dhee. Dhee; Thank you, Master Adam and Mr. Chris, for this great gesture of letting me have your family's friendship. Indeed it's a great honour for me. But keeping my best interests in mind, it would be better if I vacate this place and never have any contact with you. Now my work is going smoothly, and my social life is going well. Unless I am with master Adam, I am living my life without any worries. If I have ties with your family, it means that I must spend more and more time with Master Adam. That would result in more and more pain and humiliation for me. I believe this would all be unnecessary for me. I will leave this place, live somewhere, and never show you my face. You live your life, and I live my life. This would be the best for everyone! Listening to Dhee, Adam got infuriated. He was thinking that he was doing Dhee a favour. But Dhee rejected his offer, saying that he would live his life. It hurt Adam's pride seriously. He pushed Dhee onto the floor and started kicking indiscriminately. "I told you; you are a pig. You do not deserve a relationship with our family. Still, I gave you an offer, and how dare you decline it?" Chris and Emily were first astonished to see their son abusing Dhee. And they were more surprised to see Dhee not trying to stop Adam. When they understood Adam was seriously hurting Dhee, they intervened and pacified their son. "OK, son, he is not willing to have our company. Let him live his life. Don't hurt him. He doesn't have anyone to take care of him. If he gets injured, the poor guy will suffer a lot. Leave him." Adam controlled his rage and told Dhee." Now I am telling you. You should obey my word. You don't have a choice here. You should come to my home every day! I don't care about your life. In fact, you don't have a life until I let you. Every day, you should visit us. You should serve us. Since you saved my father's life and you are still obeying my orders, I thought of being liberal with you. But you do not deserve any sympathy. Now you are stuck at my feet. There's no way you're going to escape. Your life is completely at my will, and I am never going to be kind to you. Every day, you would suffer." please share your feedback about the story.
