Indra's pov

I had woken up from my slumber. Tulasi was still in my arms, asleep. She looked so peaceful and beautiful. Her legs were entangled in mine, and her hands are wrapped around my torso. We didn't have any intercourse yesterday, because i know that she couldn't take it. She's probably still sore.

Never in my life i knew that i would be affected by a woman to this extent. I always used to avoid woman and the topic of marriage. Sure, i did have sex with few women, because of the needs. But.... After marrying tulasi, I can't even look at another woman. I may have slept with women before, because I'm a man. But marriage is a sacred thing and I'll never sleep with anyone other than tulasi now.

I was in my thoughts and then i felt tulasi stirring in her sleep.

"Good morning." I said in my deep morning voice.

"m.. morning Indra ji." Tulasi spoke as she rubbed her eyes.

I pecked her cute lips. Seems like, this was enough to wake her up fully, from her slumber. She was blushing immensely. Even though we kissed many times by now, she still blushes when I even peck her cheek. I smiled to myself, i got such a beautiful and innocent wifey.

"You're feeling good now?" I asked.

"Yes, indra ji. I slept well!" She spoke with a smile.

"mhm, good. I heard there is a big baazar (market) near the city. I was thinking maybe i should take you there." Indra spoke as he played with her hair.

He didn't receive any answer, so he looked at her. She had eyes wide open.

"What? You don't wanna come?" I asked with a raised brow.

"NO!! i..I wanna come. I definitely want to visit the baazar. I've only ever heard about it, but I have never visited one, ever." Tulasi spoke excitedly.

I chuckled at her enthusiasm. I've never seen her getting this excited for anything. I was happy that I'm the first of her in everything. Literally, everything....hehe.

"Okay, then. You get ready and cook breakfast with maa and yeah, wear green sadi today. You'll look beautiful in it." I said after clearing my throat and walking off, to

shower.

Author pov

Tulasi watched Indra walking away. She sat up on her knees, on the bed and squealed like a child, while biting her nail. She wanted to finish the household chores as fast as possible.

Tulasi rushed out and sweeped the floor and did everything except cooking. After Indra finished his shower and got ready. She left to shower herself. She can't cook before showering, or her mother-in-law will scream at her.

Anuja was quick to notice tulasi's happy mood. She wanted to find out "why?". So, she called her second son, rudra.

"my dear son, where is Indra going today? Is there any gram meeting today as well?" Anuja asked rudra.

"no, maa. Indra Bhai wanted to take bhabhi to the baazar. Because they didn't go anywhere after their marriage." Rudra said in a calm tone.

Anuja wasn't happy at all by his decision. "he never took me there before" and "he never did anything without telling me, but look at Indra now.... He has changed, no...no... That witch tulasi changed him." These all were Anuja's thoughts.

Rudra was confused on why his mother was thinking a lot. It's just a couple are going to enjoy themselves.

"what happened,maa? What are you wondering about?" Rudra asked with curiousity.

Anuja looked at rudra and gave a fake smile to him. "nothing, beta. You can go now. Breakfast will be ready soon."

Anuja watched rudra walking into his room.

She wasn't pleased with the idea of tulasi having fun in general. Anuja thinks, tulasi should stay at home like a proper wife and shouldn't walk around outside, amongst so many men, like some shameless women.

Anuja was cooking a sinister plan in her brain to cancel their little trip, somehow. She didn't want her son aka Indra to get out of her grip in any case.

A thought came into her mind, she laid on the ground and yelled in accidental-pain voice. Indra and rudra immediately rushed towards their mother, with concern.

Indra looked panicked, he loves his mother a lot. He couldn't comprehend if anything happens to her. He bent down picked her up with his arm around her shoulder. Rudra also did the same. They both looked so concerned.

"Mom! Why aren't you careful enough? I told you many times, don't do any work alone. Look what happened now." Indra said in a frustrated-concern.

"what can I do, Indra? I can't just sit quietly. Who will do the household work?" Anuja said in a fake tone, but it was believable for her son's.

"you could've called tulasi. She's the daughter-in-law of this house. She's here to help you and replace you." Indra spoke furrowed brows.

"tulasi? She has been in your room since forever. The breakfast isn't even ready yet. I thought she'll come out soon and cook, but no. It's been an hour and i can't just sit aside and watch my kids starve." Anuja said, especially looking at Indra.

Indra was quiet after that. "He was the one who told her to get ready, because they had plans. But he also told her to help his mom before doing anything else. And look where her carelessness has got now". These were indra's thoughts. He looked pissed now.

Rudra felt indra's anger. But he doesn't know why.

"Bhai, let's take maa to the nearest doctor first." Rudra said.

Indra got back into the real world after he heard rudra's words. He immediately nodded and escorted Anuja outside. Rudra left hurriedly to find any bullock carts.

Tulasi's pov

After a warm shower, i draped a green sadi around my body. I applied a stroke of kajal and then put on vermilion. Today morning, I saw a red rose outside. It looked beautiful. But I wanted to look more beautiful, so i plucked it and now, i put it in my hair.

I twirled infront of the mirror with a little giggle. I was soo happy today. It's rare for me, but it was all possible because of indra ji. He's so good to me. I'm glad that i got him as my husband.

I was smiling to myself, thinking about indra ji. Ooopsiee! I forgot that i still didn't cook breakfast yet. I hit my head lightly with a small pout and covered my head with the head pallu, then ran towards the kitchen.

As I ran, my steps halted when i heard Indra ji's voice. I peeped out.

"Indra ji, please wait for a while. I'll have to cook breakfast. It won't take long" i said.

"tulasi, are you deaf? Maa has fallen and injured herself. Are you that oblivious to everything??" Indra ji spoke in pure anger.

I was shocked to hear that. When I was in the room, i couldn't hear anything. Probably because the door was locked.

"Indra ji, t..the bedroom door was locked, so i couldn't hear anything. I'm sorry. How's maa ji? Where is she??" I asked, with concern.

"tulasi, What were you doing till now...? don't you know that breakfast should be made before 8 am. Now, because of you... Maa has Injured herself." Indra ji yelled.

I flinched a little and clutched my sadi. I didn't know that this would happen. It's all my fault. I was busy getting ready and looking good for Indra ji. I forgot about everything else..... If Indra ji knows the truth, he'll be more mad.

"J.. ji, Indra ji... I'm sorry, i didn't know that maa ji would do it. I was just getting ready......

I wanted to cook after I got ready." I spoke while looking down.

"ohhhh... ma'am was so busy getting ready that she forgot about the household duties."

Indra spoke while gritting his teeth.

"n..no. i did finish some of them and i---" i was about to explain the situation but got interrupted by indra Ji's anger.

"shut up! It's my fault for making you sit on my head. I shouldn't had given you such freedom. Maa was right, wives must be kept in husband's grip....otherwise they walk all over them" indra ji said, more like yelling.

I was just stunned by his words. How could he even say such things? It was heartbreaking. I'm so sensitive, i can't even endure few scoldings. I know that I was careless. B..but I'm not my fault entirely. Why can't Indra see that?

Indra Ji's words stung me so bad, i was on the verge of sobs. It took all my willpower to control them.

"Speak something, idiot!!! Oh god, not the crying session again. It infuriates me to the core. If I see you crying now, you'll see the worst of me." Indra ji said in a warning.

That's it....my heart was shattering by his each word. What else can I do...? Except enduring. I can't even explain myself. It's all my fault.... I'm scared that he may turn into something worse, like other husband's.

"I.. Indra ji, I'm sorry. Please i... I'll never do that again. From tomorrow, I'll do everything on my own. Please don't yell at me." I spoke while controlling my tears, which were threatening to fall at any point.

"Oh, you'll have no next time. And yes, you'll do everything on your own from tomorrow. No one will help you. Until you learn your lesson.

If i knew that you were being careless again, the punishment will be way worse." Indra said with pure rage.

I just nodded like a puppet. I learned to become numb to any pain. When my parents used to yell at me or beat me....i eventually became immune to it, even though they affected me mentally. But now, i felt like history is repeating again. I feel that immense heartbreak again. My heart aches for some warmth and love.

"Bhai, come...we have to go now." I heard rudra's voice in the background.

"Now, go! Prepare lunch. We'll be back after taking maa to the doctor." Indra ji commanded with a glare and walked out of the house.

I watched them getting into the Bullock cart. Just as they were about cross the gate. Maa ji looked at me, i swear that I've seen her smirking..... Maybe I'm just seeing things.

I was cooking lunch. I wanted to cry so bad...... And i did. I cried, burying my face into my hands, as the rice and curry cooked on the side.

After preparing everything, i sat at the main door. Resting my head onto the wooden pillar, waiting for their re

turn. I was feeling numb after crying so much.
