" "Boo hoo hoo" I replied dully. "Now faster and over and over." "Boo hoo hoo, boo hoo hoo, boohoohoo." "Louder and rub your eyes." ... "BOOHOOOHOO0!" I could see myself in the mirror. Dressedlike a sissy and crying like an oversized child in a second rateplay. "Whenever you cry, you will cry just like this, Sweetie."Sheila lead me over to the picture frame. A gilt edged pictureframe - as tall as I - stood in the middle of a room. I stoodframed in its center as Sheila. Are you going to take care of this? she asked, pointing at the frosted line of her jaw. I stepped closer to her and held her chin in my hand, then proceeded to slowly lick the frosting from her face. I stepped back and looked into her eyes as her face turned a shocking scarlet. It became a war. For an hour we frosted and licked each otheralways playful and innocent. Then, when the cookies were finished, I turned to walk out of the kitchen and up to her room, but she blocked the exitforcing her. A dying man was begging me. What else could I say? ‘Uncle, I swear. I’ll do what you want.’ He seemed to relax. After a long pause, with his only free hand he feebly gestured for me to come closer. I leant over him. He drew a painful breath. ‘Free Universal Carnal Knowledge’, he whispered. ‘What? I don’t understand.’ He made another weak gesture at the medical staff. ‘Get rid of these charlatans.’ I motioned them to leave. Hesitantly, they complied. When we were alone, he gasped out again,. It so happened that our vacations came, and I, my dad, my mom, my cousin and his parents went on a tour for a month to MP (our village). We had quite a large farm there and would visit it every year.I knew that Sachin would be close to my mom, as he would get plenty of chances on her. It was a rainy day when my mom took him to a tour of a nearby forest that had a waterfall. My mom invited me too, and I followed them. All throughout the way, I could see Sachin drooling at my mom’s wet assets.
