He still remembers when she visited his house as a complete stranger on a cool romantic rainy day. It was around 6:30 pm on the 1st of July in the mid 90's. She was Zanzara - sweet cute lovable and friendly. She seemed so reserved and shy type and probably that attracted him towards her. Their acquaintance started from there and gradually evolved into a much intimate relationship with neither of them realizing the same. Her visits to his house became more frequent and he also couldn't stop her from doing that. She used to live near the temple pond aka "ambalakkulam" adjacent to the lush green paddy field. But he made it a point not to visit her place due to specific reasons.
She felt much comfortable beside him cheering him up and he also felt happy to have her by his side. She inturn became an energizer - freshening him up giving him a new life. Many a times he wanted to ask about her detailed whereabouts but never she seemed interested in disclosing it and hardly he worried about it. As long as the relationship is healthy and smooth going, he didn't want to bother about her nationality or religion or whatever but he had heard the villagers saying that she has her roots somewhere in Italy. His father was always against this relationship as he knew the dire consequences of this affair.
The hero could visualize the problems he might face because of this intimacy getting deeper and deeper but he could not just control it. So it just went on...His mother was always by his side and wanted him to go on with his wishes and dreams though she never encouraged her son's relationship. He felt affectionate towards Zanzara as he was interested in music and she was an equally good singer.
The hero's elder sister often seen as an emotionally phlegmatic lady reacted one day sharply to Zanzara for her untimely visits and meetings with him. His sister was indeed his well wisher and wanted him to be cautious while giving too much freedom to Zanzara in their house. Once Zansu comes, she gets into the bedroom which she considers as a secluded romantic spot and stays there for hours, sometimes till late nights though parents didn't like this at all ! They kept mum as they had good faith in their son that he won't get into any unhealthy relationship. It later happened that his father could not tolerate it anymore and would not let the doors open for her. Though hero loved her much, he wanted her not to come during night times as it may create rumours among his neighbours. Days passed by and they didn't realize that they were becoming more and more closer.She always used to boast about her soft shining long legs which even he felt was indeed her USP.
Over the years they understood that they have so much in common, their tastes, likes and dislikes, the change of moods everything had a good frequency match. They both loved to spend time together during night times when his family members were out. She was crazy in having candle light dinner romance with him though he was not much inclined to it. Slowly but steadily both got entangled in the deeper pleasures of this affair and they started treading the wrong paths on many such unguarded moments. But he noticed that Zansu was very much afraid of fire, and he noticed quite a few times Zansu fainting near the candle light !
Their secret meetings continued - sometimes during the moonlit nights amidst the lush green paddy fields....sometimes in his bedroom itself... Everything was going perfect for him....he was ecstatic and proud for getting such a wonderful companion....But....that night, it happened! Most painful and traumatic night of his life! It was unbearable when he felt that his loved one has walked out of his life. Just like that.....Yes, she has literally kicked out all those sincere love and affection they had developed over the years...when that Italian lady with long legs went in search of a new guy in his absence. Hero was returning from grocery shop by 9 PM when he heard some strange sound from his neighbour Arun's house. He approached Arun's window curiously only to see the heart breaking scene....She has let him down! She ditched him all these years... He thought she is for him....He considered her as his own....But reality is different....she is not his anymore.....
She has shared the bed with Arun....Hero was spellbound and was panting and perspiring and peeping thru the window, he could see that the bed room lights were off except a dim light on the corner. Hero could not digest the fact that Miss Zanzara whom he thought was his own had a clandestine relationship with his neighbour Arun!!
Arun's Sony 15.4" 1280 x 800 resolution LCD screen laptop monitor was seen from outside and behind the laptop, vagued out by the monitor brightness, he could get an obscured vision of Zanzara on top of Arun. He slammed open the door and barged in to Arun's bedroom to catch the love making duo red handed...Seeing him, Arun put on his clothes immediately and apologized him for what all happened. Arun told he is innocent and was preparing for his US University distance education online MS course when she entered his bedroom with clear intentions. But hero was not willing to lend an ear to Arun's excuses. But hero noticed Arun's browser page which read http://masters-degrees-online.us/vocabularium/Zanzara
She was mesmerising.....her love SUCKS....but he had no option left than to take her life. He went near her and before she could even utter a word, he beat her to death !!! A brutal murder !May be he is insane, mad in love but he had to do that ! He sacrificed his love for his sustenance, his survival, his long life.
Next day early morning before the village was waking up, Arun's servant maid took out Zanzara's body which was lying under the cot in a pool of blood. While the maid followed up with the cremation proceedings, a paper note left unnoticed was lying under the bed. It read : "Most of the people claim that they don't let little things bother them, but those people were never ready to share their bed and sleep with me ....But you gentlemen did...Thanks a ton!"
While Zanzara's body was taken to hospital for postmortem before the cremation, those gentlemen were diagnosed anaemic and admitted in the same hospital.....
May Zanzara's soul rest in peace !
I hereby dedicate my small poem to Zanzara....
An Elegy
She hated the DEFINITION of LOVE until they met
She hated the PERCEPTION of LOVE until they loved
She realized the POWER of LOVE only when they started missing each other....
She was Zanzara, she sucks and her love sucks!
