"Will you stop staring at me?" Shakti whispered and gulped nervously.She was helping Rudra change his shirt. His broad shoulders and wide muscular chest made her steal glances at him, but Rudra knew her well and was using this opportunity against her.Rudra put one hand on her waist, and she froze. Her heart was pounding frantically inside her chest, and the reason behind her nervousness was his heated gaze on her.His hot breath was fast and fanning her face. Rudra was watching her closely, his eyes glued to her sharp features. He was observing her and making her uncomfortable."Why are you uncomfortable?" Rudra asked, his voice thick and hoarse.His morning voice was making her dizzy too. Rudra knew what he was doing to her, but why? He was searching for the answer in his own way.He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and her breath got stuck in her throat."I thought you loved me?" Rudra asked, messing with her mind, though he was in a mess himself.He was trying to find a sol

It was another beautiful morning. Shakti opened her eyes, fluttery as usual, and found Rudra's possessive hold on her waist.She craned her neck and saw him sleeping peacefully. She gazed at him mystically, as if he were the endearment of her life. She smiled, kissed his cheek, and blushed darkly.Her heart raced violently inside her chest.He was the love of her life. Her husband."You look like a teddy bear. My koala bear," Shakti said, closing her eyes with her hands and smiling at her own stupidity.Shakti wriggled in his grip, but he tightened his hold. She ran her fingers through his hair, and he groaned loudly. Shakti stopped running her fingers through his thick black hair."Don't stop doing that," Rudra said in his morning silky voice. He was enjoying the way her fingers were massaging his head.Rudra felt relaxed."You are becoming very demanding, Mr. Husband," Shakti said, and Rudra pulled her closer."Will you take your hands away from me?" Shakti asked."Why?" Rudra asked,
"Did you see, Dhawal! How did Rudra behave with me? He broke my phone," Shakti said as tears fell from her eyes.Shakti collected every part of the phone and tried to put them back together, but the phone didn't work."Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eyes," Dhawal thought to himself and smiled at her.Shakti cooked dinner, and Dhawal helped her. They waited for Rudra to join them at the dinner table, but he did not come out of the room.She went to the room and saw him sleeping. She didn't understand why Rudra behaved so crazily and broke her phone."Eat your dinner," Shakti said, but Rudra didn't respond to her. She shook his body, but he pushed her hands away from him."Dinner is ready. Please eat, then sleep," Shakti said as tears welled up in her eyes. She didn't know why she felt hurt by his ignorance."I'm not hungry," Rudra said and changed his position.He hid his face between the pillows. She stood there for a minute and then left him alone.Dhawal and she sa
Rudra went to Kolkata to attend Porishma's wedding, but his mind was still in Delhi. He left her there with her friend, but his heart was not satisfied.Rudra entered Porishma's house, and Neil found him. They nodded at each other, and Neil took him to the place where her turmeric ceremony was being performed.Rudra smiled at Porishma and felt happy for her. Ansh saw him and ran toward him, clutching his legs."How are you, my little boy?" Rudra asked Ansh as he scooped him into his arms."I'm fine, Daddy. See, Maa is there," Ansh said, pointing at Porishma.Rudra then walked toward her. He found her busy ogling her MONSTER and laughed mentally.He applied turmeric paste to her face, and then her gaze landed on him. Porishma was shocked to find him there. She thought he would not come, but he did."Pari," Rudra said. Porishma looked at him, and tears started flowing from her eyes.A loud sob escaped her mouth, and Rudra hugged her while placing one of his hands on her baby bump."Hey,
**A few days later :-**"Hello!" Shakti said softly."Hello!"Rudra picked up the call without looking at the number, but when he heard her voice, his heart stopped beating for a second.He spoke and breathed deeply."Hey! Mr. Husband. When will you come home?" Shakti asked him, and Rudra checked his watch. But before he said anything to her, he heard other male voices and became alert."Where are you?" Rudra asked her panicly."Oh, I'm in the market. I am out for shopping, which is why I called to check on your arrival. I haven’t prepared anything for dinner," Shakti said loudly, but Rudra’s ears only heard male voices coming from the other side."Madam! This dress will look great on you. You'll look like a heroine," the shopkeeper said in a different tone to someone else, but Rudra thought the shopkeeper was talking to Shakti."What the hell are you buying, huh?" Rudra yelled at her."What's wrong with you? I'm buying dresses for myself," Shakti didn’t understand the situation and ye
**Day of Porishma's Christian Wedding, NY**"Smile," Shakti said and took several pictures of Rudra."Aren't you satisfied yet?" Rudra said irritably and started to move out of the room, but Shakti stopped him and took more pictures."No, because in all the pictures, you look like a pumpkin," Shakti said and made him pose for another picture."You," Rudra said."Passionately YOURS," Shakti spoke boldly."We are getting late, Mrs. Rathore, so you should get ready for the wedding. I'm going to meet Arjun and Neil," Rudra said quickly and went out of the hotel room.Shakti smirked as she got ready quickly and walked out of the room for a walk, but she bumped into someone else. She wrapped her arms around the person’s waist and said, "GOTTA."The lady put her hands on her heart and looked at Shakti with a feminine, soft voice."I'm sorry," the lady said and clutched her hands tightly."It's okay!!" Shakti said and unwrapped her arms from around the lady’s waist, helping her stand properly.

The whole family, including the kids, was on a search mission and eventually found her.When Rudra found her, Shakti was sitting cross-legged at the center of the party hall, rubbing her head. Her dress was showing off her toned, silky legs, and Rudra wanted to pull out every eye that was ogling her."DURGSHATKI!" Rudra shouted loudly, and Shakti looked at him while tears were streaming down her face."Lord of My Life, My Husband!" Shakti yelled loudly, and everyone looked at her.Shakti stood up and stumbled a few times before she could take another step.Shakti fell to the floor.
