They were three sisters. Natalia was the eldest, Dania was
younger than her 1 year and Myra was 6 years younger than Dania. Natalia and Dania had started schooling
together and they were in the same class now. They would be completing their
high school this year. Their family hailed from Pakistan. Myra was born here
only, in Sydney. Their lifestyle was completely Australian so were their
accents.
Natalia had short hair; she was gracefully thin and taller
than Dania. Her complexion was milky white. Dania had sallow skin but hers was
smooth and silky as if you could slip on it. She was not as thin as Natalia but
she had a very shapely body. She had kept her hair long and did not like
flaunting her legs like Natalia did with her shorts and miniskirts.
Both sisters were very competitive with each other in terms
of fashion. Each wanted their younger sister, Myra to follow her only and not
the other.
“Dad, can we have a car when we join university next year?”
Natalia asked.
“Of course no, I cannot afford your extravagance on the car
as well, your clothes and accessories are enough for my pocket.”
Natalia and Dania knew they will be asked to do something,
their father never refused anything they asked him, he just like to make them
do something and he gets it for them.
“Okay, what will it take for us to get a car?” Dania asked
being a straight shooter.
“What, maybe an A, overall.” Their father replied.
“An A! But that’s impossible, we both have C averages right
now.” Natalia said.
“If you work hard enough you can get it, I can even arrange
home tuitions for you if like.”
Natalia and dania could not negotiate any deal. Their father
insisted if they get A’s they will get a car. But this meant they will have to
work extremely hard. They both talked to eachother about it and agreed to get
the home tuitions.
Their home tutor was a Bengali Indian, Karuna. She was in
her thirties and looked very smart. She had a full body. Graciously dark
complexion and fine long hair reaching her buttocks. She wore shalwar kameez
most of the time, and sometimes jeans with a t-shirt and a jacket.
Natalia and dania got along very well with her. She had
great great sense of humor and joked with both of them very much. She explained
every concept with great detail and both comprehended instantly. The atmosphere
in which all three worked was very friendly and candid. Having a home tutor in
Australia was very expensive, both girls knew that. And they were already
intent on working hard to get A’s. They always did the assignments which Karuna
gave them and listened to her very carefully. They had started to like karuna,
less as a teacher, more as a friend.
One day both Natalia and dania did not finish their
assignement karuna had given them. They had gone to aprty of their friend. They had been up all
night and slept all morning and day. They did not get the time to complete the
assignment before karuna came in the evening to teach them.
“both of you did not complete the essay, what happened?”
“we had gone to a party and slept all day.” Dania said carelessly.
This irked karuna a little. Not the uncompleted assignment,
but the carelessness in her voice. At that moment karuna felt worthless. Like
these girls don’t give a shit of respect to her. She felt like doing something,
To show them her anger and her power.
“Both of you had heard of murga punishment?”
“Yes.” Natalia replied, dania looked up but did not say
anything.
“I want both of you to become murga right now.”
“what , you cant be serious karuna.”
“I am seriuos, get in the murga position both of you.”
Both natalia and dania were confused as to what to do. They
could not imagine their bodies molded into that pretzel pulling their ears. But
nonetheless both got up and stood a little astide. Karuna thought they will
become murga now. But they didn’t. they kept standing and looking at karuna’s
face.
“what are you thinking? Get down now.”
