Philomel

A poetic dialogue by Maya about the clandestine life in the post-social site world. The kiss-and-tell truth of the now generation, where lust is not only lived but flaunted too. Exposing the harsh realities of the contemporary times, for Different Truths.

“You know what?”

“!!!!”

“I slept with a tycoon last night!”

“Don’t tell me!”

“Yesss!!”

“How did you manage?”

“Facebook page, my darlings!”

“He contacted you? You hunted?”

“Shhh! An easy catch. My brother in law.”

“Khool! Party tonight?”

“Not tonight. Need to stretch my limbs. Couldn’t sleep a wink.”

“Had fun, no?”

“Yes. He was driven and passionate.”

“Your sister’s husband made you a fat cat in just one night!”

“Was here for some official meeting. Would be back soon. Wants me to pose the same fire ball on the couch again.” (Giggles).

“Gosh! He’s brutally demanding!” (Nudges and tsks tsks!).

Her sexy pout is rendered sexier by the silver nose ring seeming to kiss it.

“Ooh!! We are having goose bumps you know!”

“Given that life is so short and fragile….Let’s extract the most out of every breath, every fleeting moment. What’s there in the thing called honour? A mere s.i.x.l.e.t.t.e.r.w.o.r.d.”

“What was the size?” asks the bosom friend, her super huge chandelier earrings dancing with stolen pleasure.

“Don’t talk of the size. Talk about the prize…shhhh!”

More giggles…
