Tulasi's pov
I watched him walking into our room. His words only made me feel sad. I have no appetite to eat now. I prepared the kesar milk for him, hoping that at least he wouldn't reject this.
I walked into our room and locked it behind me. He was on his side of the bed; I walked closer and passed the glass of milk.
"Indra ji, drink this..." I said.
"No, I don't want it." Indra said and faced the wall.
I gulped and walked to the other side. "Indra ji, please drink this.... You didn't even eat at home."
"That's because I ate outside! Why do you keep pushing me? I don't want to drink. Go and drink it yourself." Indra ji said in a pissed tone.
I placed the glass on the table. And walked towards my side of the bed. I lay down, and he was still facing away from me.
I tried to scoot closer to him. Thankfully he didn't move away. I was hesitating to hug him... How can I? Isn't that so ironic after I told him that he only wants my body? And now... Look at me.
I couldn't bear him ignoring me. I slowly put my arm on him. It only lasted 2 seconds; he jerked my hand away.
This was making me feel more and more upset. What can I do now? I don't know how to coax my husband; if it was a kid, then I would've given him something sweet to calm him. But... this is a grown man.
Then I remembered something. He really likes something that I know. I was contemplating whether to do 'that' or not.
I decided to do it. I can't just watch him being angry with me.
Author pov
Indra was trying to fall asleep. He didn't want to argue with Tulasi. Tulasi wanted him not to touch her, and he decided to keep a distance for now.
He closed his eyes and took a deep sigh. But then... He heard Tulasi's anklets making a soft walking noise; it stopped right in front of him.
"Indra ji.... O..open your eyes." Tulasi says in nervousness.
Indra was feeling frustrated. He was confused as to why she's so persistent when she's the one who asked him not to touch her.
"Indra ji... please. Look at me." Tulasi begged.
Indra had it. He opened his eyes to scold her and put some sense into her.
But.... he was actually frozen. His eyes wide open. He gulped at the view in front of him.
Tulasi's upper body was literally naked. And she was standing in front of him with her breasts pointed bare at him.
They didn't speak a word. Tulasi was clutching her fists in nervousness. Indra didn't know what to say.
Tulasi walked closer to him, and Indra was losing his control. How can he even control when his own wife's breasts are literally on his face.
He looked up at her; Tulasi was looking at him with a puppy face.
Indra clenched his jaw tightly, trying to control his desires. He can't just go weak just because he saw his wife's body.
"Are you playing games with me? What do you want? Do you like torturing me like this?" Indra spoke while gritting his teeth.
"N... no, h... how's this torturing you? You always said that you like my boobs a lot. C...come and suckle them." Tulasi says after cupping his cheeks.
"Tulasi, you accused me of using your body for pleasure, and what is this nonsense now?? Then you'll blame me later that I used you again." Indra said while locking his eyes with hers.
"I... Indra ji, maaf kar dijiye... Pata nahi mujhe kya hua tha. Tabh mein pata nahi kyu gusse me thi. Woh sabh baatein bas gusse mai bola tha." Tulasi says while caressing his cheeks.
(Indra ji, please forgive me. I don't know what happened. I was angry for no reason. I've said all that stuff in anger.)
Indra scoffed and jerked her hands away. "If you think that I'll just give in as if you didn't disrespect my feelings. Then... you're wrong. I would've forgiven you for anything else, but you questioned my love for you."
Tulasi's eyes welled up in tears; she didn't know what to do now. Indra got up from the bed; Tulasi panicked and hugged him tightly.
"Indra ji, please don't be angry at me... I beg you. I... I lob u so much. I... I know you lob me, too. I was stupid and idiotic to say such things to you. You can punish me however you want; just don't ignore me." Tulasi begged him while hugging.
Indra was having a hard time controlling his emotions. He was definitely melting; he couldn't see her crying. But this was about his love for her. He didn't want her to feel that he's just some man who'll melt for his wife's nudity.
He pushed her away from her, but Tulasi was being persistent. She refused to let him go. She was sticking to him like glue while sobbing.
Indra grumbled under his breath "don't let me hurt you, tulasi. Let go..."
"N...no, I won't. Y... you can slap me or anything, but please don't go anywhere." Tulasi said inbetween her sobs.
Indra was getting more and more irritated; he pushed her away hard this time and walked out of the room.
Tulasi was crying a lot. She draped her sadi again and ran out, but he had already gone out.
Her heart was aching with fear and guilt. She's scared that he might not love her anymore. He never refused her touches, but now he pushed her away even when she was half naked infront of him. She's scared that he might have lost interest in her, and now he'll never touch her again... Or worse, that he might not love her anymore after this.
She walked back into her room; her face was numb now. She's scared that her hopes of having a beautiful life might just end because of her actions. She flopped down on the ground, resting her head on the wall.
Tulasi wanted to punish herself; her mind was filled with overthinking. If it were to be another man, he'd have beaten her so much. She remembers once her chachi was tired, and she refused to follow her husband's orders.... And then, he beat her so much in front of the family. No one did anything; they all blamed the chachi for disobeying her husband.
Tulasi thought that she spoke such words, and Indra didn't even curse her once.... Instead he just refused to touch her. She was feeling like a sinner who just accused her husband's golden heart.
Tulasi was worried sick about Indra. She doesn't know where he went; what if he went to another woman? She thought. Now, she's more scared. Her overthinking was getting worse and worse by the minute.
