You are beautiful

And you need someone

Who will enhance your beauty, he said

I looked at him, puzzled

We were in the midst of my pre wedding shoot

In my room

He didn't look at me

Focusing the camera

He clicked randomly

What do you mean, I questioned

If I have the permission, I want to capture the raw emotions of the bride to be, he replied

For that I wish to blush your flesh

With my unfiltered urges

Go ahead, I said without thinking

He kept the camera on timer mode

And came to the bed

Where I was in my bridal finery

I don't wish to enter your virginity

But I definitely wish to taste

Your virginal essence

Saying so, he lifted my saree

And put his head between my legs

All that I knew

The camera kept clicking

The conch was being blown somewhere

Amidst the carnival of marriage

Once we were through

He showed me the images

The scattered tresses

The blurry eyes

The smudged sindoor

The open lips

The arched breasts

The misty navel

And someone buried down there
