Lost Innocence - 3

Mother was now at home all the time. I was happy to come home from school rather than go to my aunt's house. But I did continue to go there to play with P after my homework. After my baby brother was born, mother got busy with him. He used to cry all the time, poop all the time and be hungry all the time. I hated him, because it left mother with no time for me.

One evening aunt and P had gone to the market and mother was busy with the baby. M called out for me. I ran upstairs to his room happy to find someone to play with. He was again in his underwear and he closed the door after I came in. He acted as if he was in pain. I was concerned.

'What happened?' I asked.

'Something bit me inside my underwear,' he said. 'Here, touch it, see how it is swollen,' he said running my hand over his underwear. It indeed looked swollen. The more he ran my hand over it, the more it got swollen.

'Oh, what did you do?' he said, seeming to be in even more pain. 'It's swelling more.'

I was suddenly scared. What had I done?

'I have heard this swelling passes from one person to another,' he said looking serious, 'Did you happen to catch it? Mother will be very angry,'

I was even more scared.

'Let me check it for you, he said. 'Lie down on the bed.'

I did as I was told. He lifted my frock and ran his hand over my underwear and in between my legs.

'I can't feel anything, but let me check closely,' he said.

He removed my underwear and took a close look at my private part. He then ran his finger over it again and again. He then bent down and smelt the part. I could feel his breath on it and his nose touching it. A strange feeling was creeping over me.

'What are you doing?' I asked cautiously.

'I'm checking closely if there's any swelling.'

'Is there?'

'No, not yet. But we must keep checking everyday, just to be sure.'

'Shall I ask mother to check it.'

'No.' he thundered. Then he looked at my scared face and softened up. 'If you tell mother, she'll know that you saw my underwear and I saw yours and she'll be very mad at you.'

'Oh.'

'I'll check it up for you tomorrow when you come here.'

I nodded.
