When I returned home after a long day, the house seemed oddly quiet. But I didn't think much of it.
I was looking forward to the reaction of Sugandha. I hurriedly walked inside my bedroom. I saw her on the bed, looking at the plain wall gloomily.
"Sugandha…" I muttered.
She immediately sat up and set her sadi. She was looking at me with such beautiful eyes. I gulped, her lashes were so long, and the kajal was accentuating the beauty of her dark orbs.
I handed her the kachori that I purchased for her without forgetting. In fact, it was the only thing that I could think of throughout the day.
I thought she would be so excited, but it didn't even form a smile on her face. That really disappointed me.
"Eat." I said.
She nodded and started eating. I watched her shut her eyes and enjoy the taste. I smiled in return.
"Is it really that good…?" I asked curiously.
"Yes, nothing matches it. You never tried it?" She asked in return.
"Umm... no. I'm quite health conscious." I said.
"Ohh, you're missing out on so many things, Rudra ji" she said.
Watching her eat… made me drool a bit. It smells good. I wanted to try it, but I didn't want to embarrass myself.
I averted my gaze, I didn't want her to feel anxious or nervous because of me.
I saw a glimpse of her hand from the corner of my eye. She was handing me some kachori. I gulped and took it from her.
I tasted it and…. it was so delicious. I gulped down the whole thing in seconds. She was looking at me with bewilderment.
I extended my hand and asked for some more. She was skeptical at first but then handed me some more. I was quick enough to finish it.
I watched her hide the cover filled with kachori, and I chuckled. "Don't worry, I won't ask for more." I said.
She didn't want to eat with us today as well. I sighed and ate with her in the bedroom. I want to make her feel comfortable around us. Although I'm happy that I don't have to witness my mother's drama. In this way, both Sugandha and my mother are going to eat without any trouble.
After finishing the meal, I was making my bed on the ground.
"S..suniye.." (Listen) I heard Sugandha's soft voice behind me.
"Yes?" I replied.
"Umm… w…woh, I don't want you to sleep on the ground." She said.
"It's fine, I'm okay with it." I said.
"I know, but… this is your house. And I feel guilty watching you sleep there every night." She murmured.
I raised my brows. I didn't expect she would care enough to worry about my comfort.
"The bed is so spacious anyway. We can share it." She spoke, looking down.
I smirked. Well, I don't mind it either. I'm glad that she's not selfish. I can't sleep on the ground forever.
I removed my upper garments and lay down on my side of the bed. Hayee, it feels so good. The breeze hitting my bare skin feels amazing.

Sleeping next to him is so distracting. I was literally a statue lying on the bed. I was afraid that I might wake him up.
I slowly turned my face towards him. His smooth, bare back was stirring something inside me. How can a man be this sexy and not even realize...?
I'm sure he had a lot of women dying to marry him. He would've gotten a gorgeous girl if it weren't for my intervention in his life. If only… I was pretty and rich. Maybe I would've gotten his love and care as a wife.
I smiled sadly at my fate. That won't happen in this lifetime. I'm just a used bread now… that no one wants to touch. I always craved true love, but… it's impossible for a woman like me.
We either end up with a drunken husband who beats us every day or… some old man who has a lot of money. Basically just living as a maid.
Isn't Krishna the same color as me…? But he's considered the most handsome man in the whole universe. Then why are we called ugly for the same reason?
I fell into a deep slumber while thinking about random stuff. This is my everyday habit. I just form new questions in my head and never get the answers to them.
The next morning, I woke up at the same time I usually wake up. But I was feeling a bit too comforting today.
I hugged the pillow tighter, mhm.. feels amazing. But wait, why does it feel harder than usual…?
I quickly opened my eyes, and then my eyes widened at the realization.
I was literally lying on his bare chest while hugging his torso. Omgg!! H..how can I!?
I immediately sat up my heart almost exploding out of my chest.
What if he woke up before me by any chance…? What would he think of me? From now on, I should build some barrier between us. Or else I'll end up waking up like this every day.
I walked out and took a bath. I was looking at my own hands. I could still feel his manly skin on my palms. Not going to lie, I can't help but think about it again and again. What's happening to me???

Rudra also woke up a bit later and did his daily routine. He walked to his usual exercise area.
He started lifting bags of heavy sand with no shirt on. Indra also used to join him, but I guess he's quite busy with Tulasi instead.
Sugandha's gaze fell onto Rudra while doing rangoli with Nalini. She couldn't focus anywhere else but on him after that.
The sun was making his skin shine brighter with the sweat. It was making him look drool-worthy.
"Bhabhi… What happened? Why did you stop?" Nalini asked.
Sugandha was still in a trance. She couldn't hear anything that Nalini was saying.
Nalini furrowed her brows and followed Sugandha's gaze. She blushed immediately, that's so awkward for her to witness. But… she wasn't going to miss the chance to tease sugandha.
"Mhm…mhmm, bhabhi ji… Is the view that goooood??" Nalini muttered, leaning closer to her.
Sugandha quickly looked at Nalini with a shy face. She just got caught creeping on Nalini's brother, and she's confronting him.
"I…it's nothing like that. I…I was just looking at the sky." Sugandha tried to lie.
"It's okay, bhabhi. You can continue. I'll not disturb your beautiful scenery." Nalini giggled and rushed inside.
Sadly, Nalini wasn't going to fall for her lies either.
Sugandha was feeling so bashful. She keeps getting caught while doing some lewd stuff.
