A week has passed since the incident. Indra found out the whole truth about Tulasi's parents; he couldn't believe that she went through such extreme conditions.
Indra made Tulasi's father lose his job and Shiva drop out of the college. Tulasi was oblivious to all of this. Indra took a decision that he'll bring Tulasi's family down to under her feet.
Currently, Tulasi was retrieving water from the well. Indra slowly made his way towards her, stepping cautiously.
He enveloped her from behind; Tulasi gasped and turned her head towards him.
"Ji! What are you doing!? What if anyone comes here?" Tulasi says.
"Let them come…" Indra says while kissing her neck sensually.
Tulasi was trying hard not to give in. She struggled for a bit, but then… Her hand slowly made its way to his hair; she was caressing it.
Indra picked her up and placed her on the side of the well. She looked back; her expression was one of horror.
"Indra ji, let me go! I'll fall into the well. I'm too scared." Tulasi said.
Indra chuckles and jerks her back, and Tulasi screams in fear. Indra was laughing hard watching her be so scared.
"Tulasi… Don't be so scared of everything. If you fall, then I'll jump right after." Indra says, leaning closer.
Tulasi pouts in anger. "Let me go, Indra ji. You're having so much fun teasing me." She wriggles in his grip.
"If you move, then I'll kiss you right here." Indra says with a smirk.
Tulasi stops moving and gulps. She averts her gaze and…. Moves with a slight smile.
"Someone is so eager to get kissed, but I'll not give you one." Indra says and lets her go.
Tulasi's mouth swung open in disbelief. "You can't do this! That's unfair." She got down and walked behind him.
Indra stopped walking, and Tulasi crashed into his back. Tulasi rubbed her forehead in frustration.
Indra turned around. "Nowadays, you get frustrated for small reasons."
Tulasi looks away with a pout. Indra makes her look his way and bends down to meet their faces.
"Don't be so grumpy; I'll give you the kiss…" They both enveloped each other's mouth into a sloppy kiss; Indra snaked his hand around her slender waist and gripped it tight.
Indra heard someone's anklet sound, indicating that they're coming this way; he broke the kiss reluctantly. They both were panting heavily while looking at each other.
"Bhaiya, bhabhi… You're here. I was searching for you guys. Maa asked me to call you guys in." Nalini said.
Indra hummed and made his way inside. Tulasi noticed Nalini's sad expression.
"Are you hiding something from us, Nalini?" Tulasi asked.
"J…ji, nahi bhabhi. Chliye, andar chalte hai." Nalini said and hurried back.
(No, bhabhii… Come, let's get inside now.)
Tulasi sighed and walked inside. She didn't want to force her to tell her the truth. And it was obvious that she doesn't want to get married to that chosen man.
Indra's pov
"Ji maa… You asked for my presence." I spoke in a soft tone.
My mother seemed happy after so long. I know the reason, but none of her decisions are valid for others.
"I talked to Pandit ji about your father's death anniversary date… and Nalini's marriage date as well." My mother said excitedly.
"Maa, Nalini never even saw him once." I spoke with furrowed brows.
"Oh really... Then did Tulasi see you before marriage? No, right?" My mother gave me a counterstrike.
"That's a different situation, maa—" I was about to argue back but shut my mouth. She's actually right; I took so many selfish decisions in the past.
"The date is fixed, and it is after 2 days. Your father's ashes and the photo frame must be retrieved back from the storage room before the date." My mother said, and I nodded.
No matter what, I'll try to find out if Nalini is okay with her upcoming marriage. If not, then I won't hesitate to cancel everything.
The day progressed, and the women of the house were applying henna circles on their palms. They were chatting freely with big smiles…
I sat beside Tulasi, and everyone stopped talking. "It's okay, you guys can continue gossiping; I'll apply the henna mixture on my jaan's hand." I said with a sheepish smirk.
Tulasi's face turned red in embarrassment. She didn't expect me to say such stuff infront of the family members.
I held her hand and looked down at her beautiful palm; I pecked it. Then I started applying the henna on it.
Tulasi's pov
My gaze dropped down to my lap. I couldn't look at anyone else after Indra Ji's advances.
I can hear giggles of Sugandha and Nalini. I bit my lip in embarrassment.
Indra ji was doing it so delicately. It was as if he were super experienced. The breeze was making my hair strands hit my face, my vision was blocked because of it.
Indra ji noticed this and tucked the hair strands behind my ear with his left hand. The moment our eyes met, my stomach melted into butterflies. Then I heard the sounds of footsteps of other family members returning back to their rooms while chuckling.
It was now only me and Indra ji. He traced my jaw with his finger and then… it traveled down to my collarbone.
My chest was heaving up and down in anticipation of something forbidden. I can't even stop him, my hands are busy with henna. He's definitely taking advantage of the situation.
He lifts his finger and travels his way down without touching my chest. Then he dipped his finger inside my navel. I gasped and averted my gaze.
"I…Indra ji, k..koi aajayega." I muttered shyly.
(Indra ji, someone might come.)
"No one will come… They all left after witnessing our show." Indra ji said.
"N…not here, please—" he enveloped my lips into his. He was kissing me hungrily; I tried to resist because I was afraid that someone might walk in on us.
But I gave in; it was too intense to ignore. Our tongues were dancing with each other. I was about to fall back, but he held my waist tightly.
I was getting short of breath, but he wasn't breaking the kiss. I tapped on his shoulder, but it was no use.
I felt something on my waist. Wait…. He touched my bare skin with henna in his hands!!
I pushed him back. He broke the kiss, and we both were panting heavily. He was looking at me with a desireful gaze.
"I…Indra ji! You're going to stain my skin now. Oh no…" I looked down at myself.
He literally traced his hands on my back as well; I was mad now.
"Indra ji, what if anyone sees this?? It won't vanish for days to come." I spoke in a whiny way.
"It's good then. Everyone will know that you had fun." Indra ji said while chuckling.
I pouted. "y…you!!" I got up and tried to run my hands on his neck, but he was fast to respond. He started dodging around.
I stomp my foot on the ground while whining. I looked away, disappointed.
Then I felt him gripping my wrist and guided it towards his neck. I shot my head towards him.
He gently transferred the henna from my hands to his neck… and chest… and he was about to apply it on his cheek, but I pulled back my hand.
"You're crazy, Indra ji." I muttered.
"Only for you, tulasi." He spoke with his signature smirk.
