While i anticipated anxiously for what her reaction would be, I heard mom walking in to the living room and she kept a glass of my regular evening tea on the tea table. she didn't say anything. Both of us had difficulties in meeting eyes,i just sat watching tv as if i didnt see the tea is kept for me, after waiting a while for my reaction, mom took the tea in her hand and handed over it to me, I took it still without meeting eyes with her. She uttered in very low voice " lets not spoil things, I forgive you for what you've done and the same way i want you to forgive me for what i did, I am extremely sorry for having to put you through this, I never anticipated you to be awake that night, but you must stop what you are doing as its not a right thing to do in any circumstances". As she finished talking, some ice melted and I also put up an apologizing face and said sorry, and also explained that I did peep because of watching the incident and i got a bit carried away. She interrupted the conversation saying " now lets leave all that behind and be friends again who knows how to keep secrets", I was more than ready to agree to her proposition. For the next one week though we were talking to each other and acting normally, we both had problems in meeting eyes. I knew for sure that we are never going to be like what it was prior the picnic.
For the next two weeks her friend didn't turn up on Saturdays, and when i leave on my cycle for special tuition i look back at her with a meaningful wily smile on my face and she on the first Saturday gave a cold reaction as if she didn't understand anything. On the second week saturday while leaving for tuition i did the same wily smile at her turning back, this time she couldn't hold back her laughter at my loaded look, and burst into a laugh and asked me " what....!!" i playfully replied " no...no...nothing, not aaaa thing" and cycled away.That night she asked me why I did those gestures while leaving home, i frankly told that i was suggesting about your friend. She replied " he is not coming on Saturdays anymore, and I want to tell you something very serious, its just to explain something to you". I was curious about what she wanted to explain. She continued " the first time it happened it was by chance and accidental, and that can happen to any human being, I tried to avoid it as much as possible for moral reasons and you being in the room, but there is always a breaking point for humans in this matter, which you will understand when you grow up. so please don't have an idea of me being bad and immoral". I replied " mom, it was shocking to see and i was angry with you for a while, but then things took a wrong turn and that's where i started doing what i did and you caught me". She said " i understand that, and the reason why i see him again is more complex and is difficult to explain, all i can say is that probably you also notice that your dad comes home after being with friends in a bar, he has absolutely no time to spent with me and you, there are things that people get carried away with, i also got carried away with the time spent, attention offered, But now this incident is an eye opener for both of us, lets get things back before it becomes worse". It was a bit too much for me to comprehend at that age though i was a bit sad that mom is not going to falter anymore and my sexual arousal associated with that thought is going to stop - don't know why i felt that way, i blame it all on the age!
That week we didn't say anything about her friend till Friday, all the time i had it in my mind but refrained from asking. On that Friday i just playfully suggested to mom while she was in the kitchen " your friend is not coming anymore on Saturdays?" she replied without looking at me " no , we do have an agreement don't we?" being kinky enough and horny due to the adolescent age of mine i told her " i don't mind your friend coming on Saturdays" , she gave a sarcastic smile at me and said " i know boy you are going to come back to sneak up on me". I said i have no intention for sneaking up on her, and i am saying it because i understand what you !. she looked at me with lots of dis belief..!!
