I glanced up to look at his face, and he was already looking straight at me.
I was scared that he might get angry or upset. A woman of the house having dreams or working out is very disgraceful to the family.
People will spread rumors that the men of this house can't provide for their women and shamelessly exploit the wives to the outside world.
"I'll help you become a singer." Rudra ji said.
My eyes sparkled with shock and happiness. This man infront of me is another form of God itself for me.
"R.. really..?" I asked again to confirm.
He nodded with a slight smile, and tears welled up in my eyes.
I hugged him tightly and let my happy tears flow down my cheeks. I caressed his hair and clung to him.
He hugged me back and whispered sweet things into my ear.
"Every single day, you make me fall more into your love." I muttered.
He chuckled and broke the hug. He then wiped my tears and pecked my forehead.
"Why do only men have the right to dream? I think women deserve it too. They keep the house steady and also keep the generation running." Rudra ji said.
I was touched by his words. Even a woman herself will not say such stuff. We ourselves oppress each other by saying that our sole purpose is to serve the husband and his family.
"Rudra ji, you'll be my partner until death do us part, right?" I asked.
"Even death can't do us apart. We'll become ghosts and continue romancing." He said jokingly, and I chuckled.
I rested my head on top of his heart and closed my eyes. Listening to his heartbeat soothes all my tiredness and tension.
And then… I fell asleep.
Next day
I was doing rangoli on the front porch and also drooling at Rudra ji.
But this time, he was flexing his muscles purposely, and it was raising some forbidden desires in my mind and also my body.
Then my gaze fell onto some women who were also looking at Rudra ji from their houses.
I grit my teeth and squint my eyes in anger. I immediately got up and made my way towards Rudra ji.
When I did, he was looking at me with a smile. Is he even aware that he's attracting unwanted attention?
"Andhar chaliye, Rudra ji." I said.
(Let's go inside, Rudra ji.)
"But why? I still have to do so many more workouts." Rudra ji said, being extremely confused.
"Do it elsewhere; I don't want you doing it here." I said.
"This is my favorite spot." He said.
I sighed in annoyance. "Then…atleast wear your upper garments." I said.
"It's not comfortable." He said.
I glanced back, and they were still there. They look so young and are acting like they're of age.
I purposely started wiping his sweat with my pallu. I raked my eyes down his body, and it was like a sculpture, so perfect.
His sweat was dripping down into his pants, and I gulped. What is wrong with me?? My brain has been spoiled.
I held his wrist and dragged him inside. I was too embarrassed to admit that I was jealous.
"Go and take a bath… I'll prepare breakfast." I said.
"One kiss and I'll go." He muttered with a mischievous smirk.
Rudra Ji is so…demanding and cute. I encircled my arms around his neck and pulled him closer.
I could never resist him, ever.
I closed my eyes and pressed my lips against his.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and stuck us into one.
We both started moving our lips and for some reason, I was actually dominating the kiss this time.
Probably because of the jealousy, my body is a bit excited to mark him as mine.
We broke the kiss, and our eyes were still intoxicated with desire. If we make love now, then there's a chance that someone might hear us. We can't risk it.
I broke the hug, and he sighed and pinched my cheeks. He then walked out the door.
I sat down on the bed. I was feeling a bit weird, I lay on the bed and rubbed my stomach.
This only happens when I get my period, honestly… I don't want it to come. I just hate to be treated as some curse.

Just as expected, Sugandha got her period. Now she must stay in a different place where women of the house spend their time when they get their period.
She informed Tulasi about it, and she handed her all the essentials.
Sugandha made her way into the separate room, which was small and a bit dusty. Even maids do not clean this room because it's "impure".
Sugandha took a bath first and started cleaning the room; she couldn't just sleep and stay in a dusty room.
On the other side, Rudra finished his long, refreshing bath and walked into his room.
He didn't find Sugandha; he assumed that she was in the kitchen.
He was really hungry, he saw Indra already sitting in his place, ready to eat. Rudra sat next to him.
Tulasi served both of them, but Rudra was still looking at the kitchen, wondering, why isn't Sugandha stepping out.
Tulasi sensed his questionable look and spoke out. "Sugandha has gotten her "that time of the month."
Rudra looked at Tulasi, and it took a minute or so to process her words and understand the meaning behind it.
He doesn't know much about periods, but he knows that it's untouchable and a "curse". But… He really wanted to see her.
Anuja didn't educate them much about it, and Nalini also never shared anything related to it with her brothers. For obvious reasons.
Rudra does have a little experience because of Nalini. He heard many times that it's very painful and also frustrating for women.
He didn't want Sugandha to experience it alone, but he couldn't just go to her in front of his mother.
He decided to just wait until it was night and then checkup on Sugandha.
