I was busy the whole day, but I couldn't help but wonder about Sugandha's situation.
Maybe she'd appreciate it if I brought her favorite food on the way back home...
My brother parked the motorcycle aside, and I got down, i greeted my mother and entered my room.
It feels so empty without her presence. I sighed and sat on the bed.
I was missing her so badly, I just wanted to hold her in my embrace and take in her beautiful aroma.
But... I was also worried that those father-daughter may do something. I already told my brother about it, just to be careful.
I took a warm bath and also had my dinner. I watched as Nalini placed a plate of food outside Sugandha's now-staying room.
I felt a sense of uneasiness. She's a human, not a dog. I don't understand why these strict rules were implemented, it's almost unfair.
I waited until everyone was asleep in their room, and then I made my way to Sugandha.
I faintly knocked on her door; she opened the door a little, and I watched as her pupils dilated in shock.
"Rudra ji, what are you doing here??" She asked.
"I'm here for you, now open the door and let me in." I said.
"What!?? No... you can't enter this room. And...also, you can't touch me." She said in a whispery tone.
"Why not??" I asked.
She averted her gaze and tried to tell me something but didn't.
"It's okay, nothing will happen. Now open the door." I said.
"Rudra ji, I'm in my bleeding phase. You can't touch anything that I just touched. It's not good for you." She said.
"What nonsense, When Nalini was a kid, I used to touch her stuff and also feed her with my hands when she was in her phase. And nothing happened to me or her." I spoke with a sigh.
She seemed skeptical but slowly opened the door fully. I entered, and she stepped back, creating some distance between us.
I shook my head and handed her the kachori. She looked at me, and snatched it without letting our fingers touch.
I was about to sit in the place where she was about to sleep, but Sugandha halted me with her voice.
"Rudra ji!! Don't...please." She said.
"So you'll question my decisions now?" I spoke in a fake-stern voice.
I watched her gulp and shook her head as no.
"Come here..." I said.
She didn't budge, which made me a bit frustrated. Why can't she just listen to me, instead of speaking nonsense.
"Now!!" I spoke a bit louder.
She flinched a little and started walking towards me.
So slow....
I held her wrist and pulled her against me.
The expression on her face was very funny, I broke into laughter.
"You're really cute when you're flabbergasted." I said.
I started caressing her jaw and then her lips.
I stretched her lower lip with my thumb, and she was looking at me with her big black eyes.
I smirked and pinched her waist, and she yelped in my embrace.
"R.. Rudra ji, y..you shouldn't-" She was about to complete her stupid sentence, but I shushed her.
I leaned down to kiss, but she dodged it. I tried to kiss her again, but she leaned back.
"Stop rejecting my kisses..." I said and was about to kiss her again, but...ahhh, this woman.
I gripped both her cheeks and pulled her lips closer to mine, and kissed her.
I moved my lips on hers, but she didn't. I can feel her arousal, but she refused to convey it. This made me a bit angry...
I bit her lower lip lightly, and she gasped. I smirked and plunged my tongue into her mouth and kissed her roughly.
She started patting my shoulder, indicating that she's out of breath. I then broke the kiss.

Sugandha and Rudra kept panting while looking at eachother.
Rudra cupped her breast and squeezed it a little, Sugandha moaned a little and held him tighter.
Rudra dipped his face into her neck and started prepping it with sloppy kisses.
He was trying to unhook her blouse, but Sugandha was resisting.
For some reason, she wasn't okay with him touching her on her period. She still believes that something bad may happen to Rudra by touching her.
"D.. don't do this, Rudra ji. Let go of me." Sugandha muttered and tried to push him.
Rudra groaned in annoyance and looked at her. "You don't want me to touch you?" He inquired.
Sugandha gulped and nodded. "Yes, I don't want this..." she said.
Rudra frowned in disappointment and unwrapped himself from her.
"Fine, I'll not touch you then..." he said.
He was very upset, but he didn't want to force her either.
He was about to walk out, but.. he stopped. He turned around, and dipped his hands into his pocket, pulled out a pair of bangles, and placed them on the ground.
He then left after giving her a last glance.
Sugandha became emotional, she was regretting rejecting him. The superstitions got the best of her.
She bent down and picked those bangles up.
She wore them, and they were beautiful and complemented her brown skin.
She sat down and wiped her tears. She wanted him, she wanted to sleep next to him, in his arms.
Her stomach started hurting, and she just lay on the ground, then cried in pain and also heartache.
On the other side, Rudra was looking at the roof with some thoughts swirling inside his brain.
He didn't like her rejecting him one bit, because she was always ready to fall into his arms, and today she pushed him away.
He sighed and closed his eyes to sleep. It was difficult, but his tiredness got the best of him, and he fell asleep sooner than he thought.
Next day
Rudra woke up and stretched his arms. He then prayed and got up.
While he was working out, he watched as Nalini was doing the Rangoli.
He didn't pay much attention at first, but then Keshav entered into the house.
He observed them, and when Nalini was about to enter the house, a hand pulled her in.
He frowned in confusion and threw the sandbags aside and made his way into the house.
He looked around, but there was no one. He then started searching for Nalini around the house; she just disappeared.
His last option was the storeroom, he was about to open it, and then I felt a hand on my shoulder.
I turned around, and it was Tulasi Bhabhi.
"What are you doing here, Rudra ji? Your brother is asking for you." She said.
"Ji, bhabhi... Did you see Nalini anywhere?" He asked.
"She's probably in the bathroom, is there any work?" Tulasi asked Rudra.
He shook his head and walked past her. He then sighed in relief.
He didn't want Nalini to be with keshav, he thinks that his family is not fit for Nalini.
Rudra then got ready and left for the panchayat with Indra.
When he reached, there was a group of people sitting on the chairs. They were mostly village officials and rich people.
When he walked closer, his eyes widened. It was the same old man from that day.
Rudra's pov
What is he doing here?? I clenched my fist in anger, I must control it.
I sat down next to my brother and glared at that man.
We all started discussing about the renovation of the school nearby. It was in a bad condition, and there was a lot of corruption going on, and it was neglected.
Raghu was the one who told me about it, and how a few of his friends almost got injured because of the poor construction.
"I'll donate as much money as you want." The old man said.
I didn't like his intervention at all, but if he wants to do it with a good heart, then fine.
"Aapne logo ki madad nah karu toh aur kiski karu. Ameer rishtedar hona bohot zaroori hai." He spoke with a smirk.
(What's the point if I can't help my people? Having a rich relative is very beneficial.)
My blood boiled at his words, I knew exactly what he was implying.
"No need for that. We'll take care of it personally." Bhaiya said.
This made me a bit relieved. He and his daughter are bad news… I need to be more cautious.
After the meeting, we had to head elsewhere. And when I got up and turned back. That chudail (witch) was outside her car, looking at me like she'll pounce on me at any moment.
Why can't she behave like a proper woman and leave me alone?
She made her way towards me. "Aapko bohut michh kiya." She said while covering her face.
I scoffed. "Homewrecker…" I said.
She looked at me with a serious expression.
"Why can't you just accept me? All my money will be yours, and… I'll satisfy your every need, at home and also on the b—" Before she completed her sentence, I shut her up.
How shameless can she be? I wanted to slap her, but I never raised my hand to women. I have my values and ethics.
"Don't make me angry, stop chasing me and leave me alone. I'm happy with my wife, and I don't want you in my life." I said.
She was about to step closer, but I pushed her away.
"Don't… get lost!! Before I lose my control and do something." I said.
"Hayee, you look even more handsome when you're angry." She said.
I clenched my fist and grit my teeth. I'm just wasting my time talking to her.
I walked away, and she kept calling out my name, I completely ignored her and signaled to my brother that we should leave.
He nodded, and we left. What an annoyance, I wish I never went to that house.
