While Dinesh lay on the sofa in the upstairs hall with his head on Divya's soft lap, both were immersed in thoughts of Sandhya. That silence had created a kind of sadness within them.

Suddenly, Divya remembered what her mother-in-law had said. "Sandhya's room will be messy, just sweep it a bit, change the bedsheet, and clean it up, ma."

Divya gently stroked Dinesh's hair and said, "Dinesh, get up for a bit, da. Athai asked me to clean Sandhya's room. I'll go do it and come back."

Dinesh sat up lazily. Divya got up from the sofa and walked towards Sandhya's room. Thinking for a moment, like a piece of iron attracted to a magnet, Dinesh followed her like a shadow.

Divya entered the room. The intoxicating scent of the body spray Sandhya and Vicky used still lingered faintly in the room, like a reminder. Coming in behind Divya, Dinesh silently closed the door and bolted it. That sound confirmed their privacy.

Divya turned, looked at him, and smiled faintly. Both sat side-by-side on the edge of the large wooden bed in the room.

Divya felt the bed. That bed didn't seem normal to her. It was on this very bed last night, Saturday evening, that Vicky had fucked her in various ways, quenching his thirst of many years. The memories of Vicky's large cock entering and piercing her pussy ignited an inexplicable heat in her lower abdomen. Between her thighs, without her even realizing it, wetness began to seep.

At the same time, Dinesh's gaze was also sizing up that mattress. It was on this very mattress that Sandhya Anni, lying completely naked like a goddess with her legs spread wide, had taught him his first lesson—the art of cunnilingus. It was the sacred ground where he had first felt the touch, smell, and taste of a naked woman. Furthermore, it was on this very bed that he had fully experienced her one last time on Thursday night. As those memories played like a movie in Dinesh's brain, his cock, which had been sleeping inside his shorts, tightened like an iron rod and began to throb.

Slowly recovering from their memories, both turned and looked at each other. Their breath was hot.

Words were unnecessary. The uncontrollable fire of lust in Dinesh's eyes and the yearning in Divya's eyes spoke to each other. Divya herself didn't know if the wetness seeping inside her was because of the memory of Vicky or for this young lover sitting next to her. But right now, she needed a man's embrace, a deep touch.

Dinesh slowly reached out his hand and wrapped it around Divya's neck. Pulling her towards him, he captured her lips very gently. Closing her eyes, Divya leaned on his chest and surrendered herself completely to that kiss.

The kiss gradually intensified. Their tongues sought each other, swirling, tasting, and sharing saliva. Dinesh's hands kneaded her breasts over her nighty.

Dinesh slowly pulled her nighty over her head and threw it away. Her plump, fleshy, milky body was clearly visible in that golden evening light. Her heavy breasts hung freely. He laid her flat on her back on the mattress just like that. Taking off his shorts and t-shirt, he too became completely naked. His erect cock stood proud.

He didn't rush to get on top of her. He remembered the first lesson Sandhya had taught him—to make a woman realize his immense desire, he must first attend to her pussy well. He slowly went between her legs and knelt down. Spreading her buttery thighs wide, he brought his face right up to her pussy slit.

Divya's pussy was already well soaked with her lustful juices. Looking into her eyes, he desirously inhaled its unique, intoxicating fragrance, taking a deep breath.

Dinesh stuck his tongue out and gently caressed the lips of her pussy, like stroking a rose petal. "Aaaa... Dinesh... ssss..." Divya shivered in pleasure and gripped the bedsheet tightly with her hands. With the tip of his tongue, he circled and swirled around her clitoris, bit it softly, and licked it fast. Like an expert artist, he executed the trick he learned from Sandhya on Divya's body again today. Desirously slurping up her lustful juices, he thrust his tongue and fingers alternately into her pussy.

Divya couldn't handle that pleasure. Her hips involuntarily jerked upwards. "Enough, da... I can't take it, da... come inside, da, darling..." she moaned desperately.

But he showed no signs of stopping. He was deeply engrossed in his tongue's work.

Unable to bear it any longer, just like she had pushed Vicky away last night, Divya aggressively wrapped her legs around Dinesh and pushed him to the side. "This is enough, da!"

Dinesh, who had fallen down, laughed at her, got up from near her legs, and slowly hovered over her. Positioning the head of his erect cock at the entrance of her hot, wet pussy, he pressed gently.

With a 'slurp' sound, without any barrier, his rod went all the way to her depths and hit.

"Sssss... ah..." With a deep sigh, Divya took him completely inside her. Her legs wrapped around his waist.

Looking into her eyes, Dinesh began to move his hips very patiently.

He pulled his cock three-quarters of the way out of her pussy. Divya yearned for a moment, thinking, 'Aiyo, is it going to slip out?'. When that yearning was at its peak, Dinesh plunged his cock completely back into her with another gentle, yet deep thrust.

"Aaaa... Dinesh... that... that feels very good, da..." Divya moaned. Her pussy walls gripped his cock tightly.

Every time he pulled out, Divya yearned; every time he plunged in, she throbbed in pleasure. This game brought her very quickly closer to her climax.

Dinesh bent down and captured her lips again. Bound in an oral kiss, down below, their organs collided with each other, creating a symphony of flesh. His chest pressed and rubbed against her large breasts. His hands intertwined with her fingers.

This wasn't mere lust; it was a deep embrace where they shared what they had lost and gained over the past few days, the new understanding between them, and the memories of Sandhya that filled that room.

Divya's climax approached. "Dinesh... I'm cumming, da... pound me fast... fast, da..." she moaned into his ear. Her nails dug into his back.

Dinesh didn't control his semen this time either. Wanting to join his lover in her climax, he stopped slowly pulling out three-quarters of the way and completely increased the speed of his hips. He pounded deeply and fast enough to hear the *smack... smack...* sound.

Moaning, "I'm cumming too, Anni... aaaargh...", Dinesh squirted his hot, thick semen at the entrance of her cervix like a flood.

With a long, pleasurable moan, Divya reached her climax, her body spasming, and hugged Dinesh very tightly. Both their bodies vibrated together, drenched in sweat, and subsided.

That bed stood silently today, bearing witness to the union of a new, deep love.

After a while, panting, they looked at each other and smiled. Then, adjusting themselves, Divya put on her nighty. Dinesh helped her. Together, they removed the lust-dampened bedsheet and pillow covers from the bed and set them aside for washing. They put on fresh bedsheets and pillow covers, swept and cleaned the room. They cleared the trash and cleaned the room thoroughly.

Once everything was done, they both left the room with a satisfied look.

Monday evening.

Vicky and Sandhya had returned to Bangalore and slipped back into their old routine. After finishing dinner and sharing a gentle, romantic intercourse, both lay on the bed hugging each other.

Sandhya broke the silence. "You remember my revenge, right?"

Vicky hesitated slightly and said, "I do."

"When exactly are we vacating Bangalore?"

"We still have three months. I'll confirm the date and let you know. You also inform your office," Vicky said.

"Okay," Sandhya said, and then asked, "When my friend Sangeetha went to the US, she asked me to keep her secondary SIM active for a while. We had also done a long validity recharge on it. She says she doesn't need that SIM anymore and told me to discard it. Will that SIM still be active?"

"I don't know. You had put it in your old phone, right? Check and see."

Sandhya searched for that old phone, connected it to the charger, and turned it on. The SIM showed a signal tower. But no outgoing services were active. She asked Vicky to recharge it. Vicky recharged it without asking any questions.

"This is the first step in taking revenge on you," Sandhya said.

Thinking to himself, 'You crazy girl', Vicky asked with a slight tremble, "Why? Are you going to open a profile on Tinder or some other dating app?"

"Chi... chi... just watch what I do. I won't do anything without your knowledge," she said firmly.

Vicky sighed, "Alright."

"Edit the name on my PAN card copy and change the last two digits of the PAN number," Sandhya said.

Vicky panicked. "Aiyo, this is forgery. I won't do all this."

"I'll make sure no problems arise. Just do it for me."

"At least tell me what you're going to use it for..."

"To give at a gym. No one there should know my actual name, that's all."

Vicky had no choice. "Alright, I'll do it tomorrow. Make sure no problems come up. Okay, what name do you want?" he asked.

"Thank you, Vicky. Edit it to 'Bhanumathi'."

"Sounds a bit like an old name, doesn't it?" Vicky teased.

"It doesn't matter," she said, hugged him tightly, and got ready to sleep.

The next day, she became intensely involved in the task of finding a gym suitable for her. Since she had decided not to use her real name, she couldn't join large corporate gyms. She looked for a gym that wasn't too local, was of good quality, but at the same time wasn't too strict about ID proof.

She chose a gym two metro stations away from her area. Its reviews were good. She called, inquired, and said she would come on Thursday morning. The gym operated from 5:30 AM to 9:00 AM, and from 4:30 PM to 9:00 PM. She said she would come at 6 AM every day.

Meanwhile, she received a call from her friend Neha. During the conversation, Sandhya mentioned she was going to join a gym. To this, Neha said she had an annual membership for a swimming pool but couldn't go due to lack of time. She regretted having paid a large sum unnecessarily.

Sandhya knew that a membership couldn't just be transferred to someone else. Still, she asked her friend if they could try.

"The pool manager is well-known to me. I'll talk to him and get it swapped for you," Neha said. They both decided to meet at that swimming pool on Thursday evening.

In the meantime, Sandhya factory-reset her old phone. Using her friend's old SIM, she created a new WhatsApp account and Gmail IDs under the name 'Bhanumathi'.

Thursday dawned. Sandhya set an alarm for 5:15 AM and woke up. She got ready, woke Vicky to tell him, took her Activa, parked it at her metro station, took the metro for two stops, and went to the gym for her first day.

The gym trainer seemed to be around 30 years old. He mostly spoke Kannada. But he was very dedicated to his duty. After looking around the gym, Sandhya really liked it. Good modern equipment, a decent area... nothing to worry about.

Saying her name was 'Bhanumathi', she gave the edited PAN card copy as her ID, paid the deposit and monthly fee in cash, and joined.

"Usually, ladies mostly come in the evening. If you want, why don't you come in the evening?" the trainer said.

"No, I will come at 6 AM itself," Sandhya said firmly.

Just as she had read in the reviews, the trainer taught very professionally. He didn't hit on her just because she was a woman.

He taught her the warm-ups to be done every day, and since it was her first day, he started her with very light weight training. "Usually, you have to do 4 sets of each weight training exercise. But since it's your first day, just do 2 sets. From tomorrow, we can start with 4 sets per muscle," he said.

Sandhya listened to his instructions carefully and followed them. Even 2.5 kg dumbbells felt very heavy to her. But seeing the trainer handle 12.5 kg and 25 kg dumbbells so effortlessly, she was amazed.

"Your body will ache terribly for the first week. Don't stop coming just because it hurts. It will get better as you go on," the trainer said, sending her off after completing the first day's workout.

She returned home that day and rested well. But as time passed, her arms started aching severely.

That afternoon, a call came from Neha. Deciding to meet at the swimming pool at 5:30 PM, she left home at 5 PM. The pool was on the same metro line she used for the gym, just one stop further. She took the metro, went there, and met Neha.

Neha introduced Sandhya to the pool manager and handed her access card to Sandhya.

She looked around the pool. It was very neatly maintained. There were separate sections for men and women. But both genders could meet in the common resting areas.

The person in charge stated some rules: "You must wear a swimming suit to enter the pool. You must take a shower every single time before getting into the water."

That very day, she went with Neha, bought a decent swimming suit that wasn't too revealing, and returned home. When Sandhya offered to pay Neha for the pool membership, Neha refused, saying, "You are only going to be here for 3 months, so no need."

Thus, a new routine was set for Sandhya.

She would leave home at 5:30 AM to go to the gym. She would be back by 7:30 AM. She would leave at 5 PM to go to the swimming pool. She would return home by 7 PM. Sundays alone were holidays for both the gym and the pool.

She introduced herself as 'Bhanu' to everyone at the gym and the swimming pool.

Every day when she woke up at 5:15 AM, her body would ache terribly. Especially if she had done weight training for her legs (Leg day) the previous day, all her muscles would beg for mercy. On top of that, the gym trainer wouldn't let her leave without finishing what he instructed. "Wait a bit, take some rest, and then finish it before you go," he would say. If it were a normal girl, she would have said 'Enough, I can't do this' and gone back to sleep.

But her willpower was monstrous. That inner drive to take revenge and teach Vicky a lesson made her go to the gym and the swimming pool every single day without fail.

Thus, Sandhya had fully transformed into the avatar of 'Bhanumathi'. From now on, her entire effort was going to be focused on finding her Duryodhana and Karna.

[Nsme]

In Bangalore, while Sandhya had begun her revenge saga as 'Bhanumathi', in Trichy, Dinesh and Divya made full use of the one week of privacy they had gotten.

Without Mama and Athai knowing, they united physically at every opportunity they got, day and night. However, when Friday evening of that week arrived, an inexplicable sadness began to grip both their minds. This was the last night the two of them were going to be together.

That night, their intercourse held more yearning and pain than lust, compared to usual. Once the game was over, Divya leaned on Dinesh's chest and started sobbing. On one side, the sorrow of parting from Dinesh, and on the other, the guilt of having to face her husband, tormented her deeply.

Tears welled up in Dinesh's eyes too. For him, it felt like a beautiful dream was coming to an end. Suppressing his tears, he tried his best to console her. But his heart was heavy as well. At the same time, Divya's guilt increasingly overpowered her. Crying, she told Dinesh to go to his room and sleep. Finally, planting a deep kiss on her forehead, he went to his room with a heavy heart and slept.

**Saturday morning.**

Divya's phone rang. Ganesh was calling. "I've started from Chennai, Divya. I'll reach Trichy by afternoon."

This single sentence struck Divya's head like a thunderbolt. The moment she heard Ganesh's voice, the guilt within her multiplied a thousandfold. 'Having slept with both of my husband's younger brothers, with what face am I going to look at him now?' the thought pierced and tore her apart.

She ran straight into the bathroom in her room. Closing the door, she curled up on the floor. Without even taking off her nighty, she turned on the shower just like that. As the cold water poured over her head, all the lustful escapades she had engaged in with Vicky and Dinesh over the past two weeks flashed before her eyes. Shame gnawed at her.

Then, the 'Agni Pravesham of Draupadi' that Sandhya had told her about came to her mind. The belief that before going from one husband to the next, Draupadi would purify herself by walking through fire ran through her brain.

In a state of mental delusion, she turned off the shower, turned on the water heater, and filled a bucket with hot water.

The bucket filled completely with hot water. She scooped the hot water in a mug and started pouring it over her head, right over her nighty. The heat scorched her body. But because her mental pain was greater than that physical pain, she continued to gradually increase the heat and kept pouring the hot water over herself. Her brain believed that by punishing herself, her sins would be washed away.

At one point, when the heat of the water became unbearably high, she suddenly snapped back to reality, screamed "Aaaa!", and threw the mug away.

Her temporary madness cleared. The hot water had turned her skin red. She threw off her nighty, adjusted the water temperature, took a proper bath, calmed herself down, and came out.

Ganesh arrived in the afternoon. After lunch on Sunday, he took Divya and the kids and left for Chennai.

As the car was leaving the Trichy house, Divya took her mobile and called Sandhya.

"Hello Sandhya... we've started," Divya said.

"Have a safe trip, Akka."

"Sandhya... thank you so much," there was a tremor in Divya's voice. She herself didn't know whether it was for the physical pleasure she received, or for the philosophy Sandhya taught her to escape her guilt. They spoke generally for a few minutes and hung up the phone.

**In Trichy...**

The house was completely deserted now. Upstairs, Dinesh sat alone in his room. He didn't feel like doing anything.

Divya Anni had left too. Sandhya Anni had already left. The world of lust he encountered during this two-week period, his first kiss, his first intercourse... everything was over. All that remained on that floor now was his loneliness and the memories of his Annis.

He couldn't control his grief. As the memories of his two Annis choked his heart, he started crying loudly, sobbing heavily.

Just then, his phone rang. Sandhya was calling.

Wiping his eyes and clearing his throat, he answered the phone. "Hello Anni..."

"What da, are you crying?" Sandhya's voice accurately judged all his sorrow.

Dinesh couldn't speak. His crying intensified.

Over the phone, Sandhya comforted him very gently, like a mother, like a friend, like a lover. "Dei... this is just a small phase in life, da. Our meeting, this experience we got... everything was very wonderful. You shouldn't feel sad thinking about this; you should feel proud. You are a man now, da. Focus on your college, your studies, your crush Anvi... I will always be there for you."

Her words worked like magic medicine on him. Her comforting voice and firm guidance slowly lessened his sorrow.

By the end of the call, the burden in Dinesh's heart had significantly reduced. With a long sigh, he got ready to face the next chapter of his life.

---

In Bangalore, Sandhya, with her new name 'Bhanumathi', had aggressively started her revenge saga. In both arenas, the gym and the swimming pool, her eyes were searching for the appropriate individuals for her drama. Her search was like a penance.

Various types of men approached her. She weighed each one according to the rules she had created for herself. Most were rejected at first sight.

**The "Fake Brothers":**
Hypocrites who would falsely call her "Sister" solely for the purpose of getting close to her, while their eyes grazed over her body. Their hypocrisy disgusted Sandhya. Thinking to herself, "Is this how you look at a sister?", she completely avoided them.

**The Desperate "Nice Guy" / "Simp":**
The type who would melt just looking at her. Their extreme emotionality, the way they portrayed themselves as sacrificial lambs, trying to show they were the only "nice guys" in the world, and simping over her endlessly, bored her. Since Sandhya knew them well, she would run away the moment she saw them. Such guys wouldn't have any male friends; they would only talk to and hang out with every woman they saw. Her assessment was that a guy with no male friends is the biggest 'Red Flag' for a woman.

**The "Players":**
There are good ones and bad ones among them. The good ones would approach a woman and express their interest; if the woman rejected them, they would respectfully mind their own business and move on. The bad ones would plot, lie, and try to trap the woman. Sandhya could easily spot such types.

One day, after finishing her training at the swimming pool and coming out after changing clothes, a guy named Rakesh, born and raised in Delhi and currently living in Bangalore, spoke to Sandhya.

"You know... you have a terrible habit."

Sandhya raised an eyebrow and said, "What?"

He said, "Making everyone else in the pool forget how to swim. I've been noticing for four days... the moment you get into the pool, half the people start swallowing water."

Sandhya said, "Sorry dude. I am married. But nice try Mr...."

"Rakesh," he replied.

"I am Bhanu," Sandhya said and moved away.

After that, she didn't pay attention to him. And he never came to speak to her after that either.

Amidst this search, a guy named Aadhi came and started talking to Sandhya. He appeared respectable, looking like a good family man. He would frequently speak proudly of his wife and kids. He had a daughter and a son. Using this 'safe' image, he approached Sandhya.

He started talking politely to her at the swimming pool. But Sandhya's sharp eyes caught the lust and perversion hiding behind his fake image. Realizing he was a dangerous hypocrite, she decided to teach him a lesson.

So, she pretended to bend to his ways.

Thinking she was falling into his trap, he became very happy. He passed the days by coming to the swimming pool exactly at the time she came and flirting with her smoothly.

One day, he brought sweet pongal (Sakkarai Pongal) made by his wife at home and gave it to Sandhya. Sandhya ate it too.

Another day, while Sandhya and Aadhi were sitting and talking, Rakesh passed by them.

Then Aadhi said, "This Rakesh is a very bad guy. He won't leave any girl here alone. You be careful with him, Bhanu."

Sandhya laughed and said "Okay."

Thus, reinforcing his 'safe guy' image with Sandhya, he also planted the image that he was a 'well-settled' rich man. Furthermore, he advanced his moves by frequently sending her WhatsApp messages and sending mild 'Adult' jokes.

Sandhya would tell Vicky everything at night without hiding anything. She would reply to his WhatsApp messages right in front of Vicky.

She had told Aadhi that she goes to the office and works every day.

One day, she spun a fake story to him, "I have a desire for a guy in my office. But I'm scared, Aadhi." This seemed like a golden opportunity to Aadhi. Even though he felt immensely jealous of her so-called office colleague, hiding it, he said, "Oh, what's there in this, Bhanu? Life is only once. There is no wrong in doing it without the husband knowing," encouraging her onto the wrong path.

Then one day Sandhya said, "I opened my heart and spoke to my office crush. He agreed too. But we don't feel it's safe to go to a hotel somewhere."

To that, he offered his house for her to use for sex, saying, "My wife is going out of town next week, taking my son to attend a function. After my daughter goes to college, the flat will be free. If you want, you guys come and meet there. No one will know, and it will be safe." His plan was that he believed doing her this favor would earn him a chance, either that day or another. He calculated that after having sex with her, he could separate her office colleague from her.

When Sandhya told this matter at home, Vicky was shocked. "What are you going to do now? If you go, who will you take?" he was confused. "Don't go," he said.

Then Sandhya said, "I am definitely going to that Aadhi's house. And you are coming with me." Although Vicky refused at first, he later agreed.

On the specified day, Sandhya took Vicky, introducing him as her 'lover', and went to Aadhi's flat. Both were dressed like people coming straight from the office. Aadhi welcomed them and showed them his bedroom. Both of them entered that room right in front of him. Vicky and Sandhya had sex on the very same bed where Aadhi's wife sleeps.

A short while later, both came out half-dressed. Sandhya came and sat on Vicky's lap. This intimate scene irritated Aadhi. But he controlled himself.

Vicky saw Aadhi's eyes grazing all over Sandhya. Vicky looked at Aadhi and asked directly, "Aadhi, you have a desire for my girl, don't you?"

Sandhya looked at Aadhi with lust-filled eyes, as if expecting an answer.

Even though Aadhi hesitated for a moment, thinking this was the right time, he admitted the truth. "Yes... Bhanu is a very sexy girl. Who wouldn't like her?" he described Sandhya right in front of Vicky. These words angered Vicky. He held it in.

As if already discussed with Sandhya, Vicky presented a shocking bargain. "Alright, a deal. You enjoy Bhanu. In return, I will enjoy your wife. Okay?"

Hearing this, anger rushed to Aadhi's head. "What the hell are you talking about? How dare you speak about my wife? She is a pure, devoted goddess, da!" he jumped up like a moral paragon.

Sandhya stood up and tore off his fake mask. "Then what about other men's wives, da? You can try to enjoy them, you yourself encourage them to do wrong, and you even provide the house for it. But your wife alone must be pure? What a disgusting mindset you have, da!"

Hearing Sandhya's angry speech, Aadhi was intimidated. Then composing himself, he threatened, "Bhanu, if I tell your husband about you, your life will be destroyed."

Sandhya laughed mockingly. "Before that, I will send all the messages you sent me, the 'A' jokes, how you encouraged me to have an affair, everything to your wife. Why even that, we'll just sit here for a while. Once your daughter comes from college, we'll tell her ourselves who we are," Sandhya threatened Aadhi back.

Aadhi froze in fear. The fear that his honor and family would be shattered in a second tormented him. "Don't, Bhanu... sorry... please forgive me," he begged.

Sandhya got up from Vicky's lap. She went straight and slapped Aadhi, who was sitting opposite, hard across the face. Seeing this, even Vicky was shocked for a second. Aadhi trembled to his core.

Sandhya spoke, "Do you know what this slap is for? That day you brought sweet pongal saying your wife made it, it was so wonderful. Having such a good wife at home, why the hell are you wandering outside, da? If the wife wasn't good, or if there were other problems in married life, at least then it would be somewhat acceptable. What the hell is your problem?"

"In this day and age, which wife cooks properly for her husband, da? She cooks for you properly meal after meal, right? Just for that, you should treat her like a queen. Have you ever tried to find out what her needs are, if she is satisfied in sex and other things?" Sandhya blasted him.

Sandhya looked at him like a worm. "Don't ever cross my path again. Step aside respectfully," she warned him, took Vicky's hand, and left that house. This incident strengthened the bond between Vicky and Sandhya even more.

After this incident with Aadhi, it reaffirmed to Sandhya once again that those who truly express their intentions are far better than those who fake being good.

Her attention now turned towards Rakesh. Rakesh was a 'Player' at the swimming pool. He directly expressed his desire to Sandhya right at the beginning. When Sandhya refused, he accepted it without any ego and stepped away respectfully. He didn't talk behind her back or bother her like Aadhi. Compared to Aadhi's hypocrisy, Rakesh's honesty and respect for boundaries appealed to Sandhya. He was a 'Decent Player'. She believed there wouldn't be any emotional drama with him.

Similarly, at the gym, a guy named Kathir (from Tamil Nadu) caught her attention. He wouldn't talk much to anyone. He would just mind his own business. Once, when Sandhya coincidentally sat next to him and was doing an exercise wrong, he very respectfully taught her the correct method without any wrong intentions. After that, he didn't try to talk to her. This quietness and respectfulness of his gave Sandhya a sense of trust.

Sandhya set Rakesh and Kathir as her targets. She started planning how to approach them in the coming days.

[Nsme]

One morning, Sandhya finished her gym workout and came outside. Her tight yoga pants and sports bra, drenched in sweat, accentuated the curves of her body, making her look even more alluring. She wiped the sweat from her face with a small towel, put on her jacket, and got ready to walk towards the metro station.

As she crossed the gym entrance, Kathir was standing there. Having finished his gym session, he was talking seriously on his phone to someone before taking his bike.

As Sandhya walked past him, their eyes naturally met. As usual, Kathir's gaze held a calm, majestic charm. Sandhya offered a small smile and turned away. But she clearly heard what he was saying on the phone.

"Dei, don't you have any sense? I told you not to rush and propose marriage when Saturn is in the 7th house and Mars is in the 8th house, and do you listen? Look now, unnecessary problems," Kathir was scolding someone.

A cryptic smile bloomed on Sandhya's lips. 'Oho... so he knows astrology? Very interesting,' she noted in her mind. Since she also knew how to read astrology to some extent, she had found a wonderful 'opening' to talk casually with Kathir in the coming days. Tucking the thought of Kathir into a corner of her mind, she walked towards the metro.

**That evening - Swimming Pool:**

A pleasant atmosphere prevailed at that luxurious swimming pool in Bangalore. Sandhya stepped into the water wearing a decent, black one-piece swimsuit. Even though it wasn't overly revealing, it perfectly highlighted her prominent bust and curvy waist.

After swimming a few laps, she came to the edge of the pool and stood catching her breath. Drops of water dripped from her eyes. Wiping her face, she looked around.

A little further away, on the other side of the pool, stood Rakesh. He too had finished swimming and was resting with his hands leaning on the edge of the pool. Water was trickling down his toned body. His gaze was fixed on Sandhya. But, because she had rejected him on the first day, he respectfully watched her from a distance without disturbing her.

Deciding this was the right opportunity, Sandhya decided to open the closed door herself.

She slowly walked through the water and approached Rakesh. He looked at her in surprise. She had never crossed over from the women's swimming area to this side before.

Reaching him, Sandhya leaned her hands on the edge of the pool and stood next to him. "Hi Rakesh," she said with a faint smile.

Rakesh hesitated slightly, then with a charming smile, said, "Hi Bhanu... what's this, talking to me suddenly? I thought 'married women' wouldn't talk to me," lightly teasing her with the very reply she had given him on the first day.

Sandhya laughed. "I was in a bad mood when you approached me that day. But... look how you stepped away decently without any ego, and without bothering me, the moment I said 'no' once... That's what I like about you."

Rakesh's eyes widened in interest. "I know very well that if a girl says 'no', it means 'no', Bhanu. I don't force anyone."

"Very good," Sandhya said. "But, there is no law that married women shouldn't even talk, right?"

Rakesh looked straight at her now. A new hope was born in his gaze. "Definitely not... so, seeing you come and talk yourself... has that 'no' changed a little now?" he asked with a wink.

Sandhya looked straight into his eyes without looking away and said, "My mind won't change that quickly. But... the closed door is slightly ajar. You can try if you want."

This perfect green signal excited Rakesh. He bit his lip and smiled. "Challenge accepted, Bhanu. Shall we grab a coffee outside after swimming tomorrow? Just a friendly coffee."

With a mysterious smile, Sandhya said, "Let's see... depends on my mood tomorrow," gave him a wink, and dove back into the water like a fish.

Watching her curvy back disappear into the water, Rakesh stood there with a victorious smile.

**The next morning.**

Sandhya finished her workout at the gym and came outside. Even though the day's workout had tired her a bit, the thought of meeting Kathir gave her mind a burst of energy. At the same time, Kathir also finished his training and came out behind her.

Slinging her gym bag over her shoulder, Sandhya approached him as he was walking towards his bike and casually started a conversation.

**Sandhya:** "Excuse me Kathir... do you know astrology?"

Kathir turned to look at her. He realized it was Bhanumathi—the girl who came to the gym at the exact same time he did every day and trained hard—who was speaking to him. Without any expression on his face, he replied briefly, "I do." There was a mystery in his eyes.

Sandhya stood a little closer and looked directly into his eyes. "Looking at you, it seems like you are drowning in some deep sorrow. More importantly, I can see a strong 'Rahu Energy' in you."

Her prediction astonished Kathir greatly. Seeing a woman with no prior introduction, and that too someone he just meets at the gym, accurately deducing his planetary alignment made him stop taking out his bike key and look straight at her.

**Kathir:** (smiling slightly) "Is my Rahu that obvious?"

**Sandhya:** (getting a bit excited seeing him smile) "Oh... so you do know how to smile? I asked because your face is always so serious. Anyway, how did you learn astrology? I didn't expect this from a gym fitness freak in Bangalore."

**Kathir:** "There was a good guru in my hometown. I learned from him when I was young. In between, with work and family, I left it for a while. But now... due to some things that happened in life, I've immersed myself in it completely again." A subtle pain peeked through his voice and vanished.

Kathir stared at her for a moment and asked, "Alright, how do you know all this Rahu, Ketu stuff?"

**Sandhya:** "Many people in our relative circle are great spiritualists and know astrology well. I've grown up seeing all that since I was young. I learned a little bit gradually from them. Besides, I always have an interest in this."

She paused for a moment, looked deeply into his eyes again, and said, "And, looking at you, a 'Leo Pride' is blatantly visible. Is your Ascendant (Lagna) Leo?"

Kathir was truly stunned now. His eyes widened in surprise. 'How is she predicting this so accurately?' his astrological brain was confused.

**Kathir:** "How are you saying this so correctly, Bhanu?"

With a smile, Sandhya asked like a psychologist, "Generally, nothing good happens easily in life for Leo Ascendant people. There will be a lot of struggles. How is life going, Kathir?"

Kathir didn't give an answer to that, but merely replied with a sad smile. How could he explain in a single word to this stranger the illusions and pains that Rahu and his Leo Ascendant had caused in his life?

At the same time, an urge arose in Kathir to prove his astrological prowess, the knowledge he had acquired, to her. He liked this intellectual teasing of hers.

**Kathir:** "Since you guessed me so accurately, I will dissect your horoscope to the roots. Tell me your Date of Birth, Time, and Place."

Sandhya burst into loud, ringing laughter. "I can't tell you all that so easily. If you want, a challenge."

**Kathir:** "What challenge?"

**Sandhya:** "You correctly guess my Ascendant (Lagna). If you do, I'll give you my details. You give me your details too. We'll both analyze each other's horoscopes and talk tomorrow. Deal?"

To Kathir, this was a challenge that directly poked his ego. Deducing someone's Ascendant just by looking at their physical structure and characteristics, without having their horoscope chart in hand, is no ordinary feat. It is the pinnacle of the art.

Kathir started thinking seriously. He observed her closely from head to toe once. Her physique visible in the gym attire, her alluring, captivating eyes, her bold speech full of personality without any hesitation, her sly facial expressions... his brain calculated all these like a computer.

'The influence of Venus (Shukra) seems very high in her. Lust, glamour, and at the same time a kind of balance and composure are blended within her. It must be an Ascendant ruled by Venus,' he deduced.

**Kathir:** "Looking at you, the influence of Venus is very prominent. Most probably, there is a high chance your Ascendant is Libra."

Sandhya was taken aback for a second. 'He is no ordinary guy, he is a master in astrology,' she praised his skill in her mind.

**Sandhya:** (laughing) "Perfect. Challenge accepted. My details: May 17, 2002. Evening 4:30 PM. Chennai." (This was Sandhya's actual birth date. But she had only given the name Bhanumathi).

**Kathir:** "I was also born in Chennai."

**Sandhya:** "My mother's side of the family is from Chennai. So I was born there. Alright, tell me your details."

**Kathir:** "August 10, 1989. Morning 7:15 AM. Chennai."

Both etched those details firmly in their minds.

Kathir thought for a moment and said with a faint smile, "Your birthday just passed a month ago, Bhanu. Belated birthday wishes."

"Thanks, Kathir," Sandhya said.

Then both shared the areas they lived in Bangalore. Sandhya learned that Kathir's house was in an area exactly midway between the gym and the swimming pool she frequented.

"See you tomorrow, Kathir. Be ready," Sandhya said, bidding him farewell with a mysterious, lust-tinged look.

Kathir started his bike. His brain had already started drawing the horoscope chart for May 17, 2002, in his mind. 'As soon as I go home, I need to pull up the chart online and look at this horoscope in detail,' he thought to himself. What torment are Sandhya's character, lustful features, and mysteries hidden within that horoscope going to cause him!

**That evening - Coffee Shop:**

After finishing her swimming training at the pool, Sandhya changed clothes and came out. Her dripping wet hair and tired face gave her a unique beauty.

Rakesh was waiting for her outside the pool. He looked very stylish in a casual pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Seeing her, he asked, "Hi Bhanu... ready? Shall we go grab a coffee?"

"Sure," Sandhya said.

Both went to a popular, decent coffee shop nearby. The lighting was soothing, and soft music was playing.

They ordered coffee and sat down.

Rakesh looked at her with a charming gaze. "Tell me, Bhanu... how is Bangalore life going? What does your husband do?" he started the conversation very casually, like a friend.

Sipping her coffee, Sandhya said, "Life is going well, Rakesh. But... since I do work from home completely, I felt I needed a slight change in my routine. That's why I started swimming and going to the gym."

Rakesh smiled. Then he asked, "I understand. You go to a gym too? Where?"

Sandhya gave him the details and said, "Don't come to that side. I have a guy there. He's a bit of a brute."

Rakesh widened his eyes and said, "Wow! And here I was thinking something else about you."

Sandhya laughed. Then she said, "Think whatever you want. But just don't think you can sweep me off my feet easily."

Rakesh said, "Yes. I can sense that."

Then, after chatting cheerfully and finishing their coffee, both of them said their goodbyes.

[Nsme]

That night, in his room, Kathir looked at Sandhya's horoscope chart on his laptop using the birth date she had provided. Looking at the planetary alignments that unfolded on the screen, he was taken aback. He had seen countless horoscopes so far; but he had never seen such a shocking, mystery-filled horoscope in his entire life.

**The next morning.**

Entering the gym, Kathir's eyes searched for 'Bhanumathi' like never before. Until now, he hadn't even noticed whether she came to the gym or not. But today, the situation was different.

After finishing their training and coming outside, both got ready to talk as usual. Without any hesitation, Kathir came straight to the point. There was a kind of awe in his eyes.

"I looked at your horoscope, Bhanu..." Kathir began.

* **Ascendant (Lagna):** Libra
* **8th House (Taurus):** Sun, Saturn, Rahu, Mercury
* **9th House (Gemini):** Venus, Mars, Jupiter
* **10th House (Cancer):** Moon (Own House)
* **2nd House (Scorpio):** Ketu
* **Moon Sign (Rasi):** Cancer
* **Star (Nakshatra):** Punarvasu (4th Pada)

Staring at her, Kathir started listing his predictions one by one.

**Libra Ascendant (The Architect of Harmony):**
"Bhanu, your Ascendant is Libra. Your fundamental nature is to seek balance and perfect beauty in life. Naturally, you will possess immense charm and dignity. The weighing scale is your symbol. If that scale tips in your life... that is, if authority slips from your hands, or if your husband becomes very weak, you will go to any extreme to fix that scale again. You will use any aggressive method."

**9th House (The Angelic Mask):**
"In your 9th house (the house of Dharma), you have Venus, Mars, and Jupiter. To the outside world, you are an angel. Your public image is very strong. No one can find fault with you. You are a very righteous, traditional girl. Because Mars is there, you will fight very aggressively to protect your family's honor. People who know you will always want to be around you."

**8th House (The Vault of Taboos):**
"But, what terrified me in your horoscope is your 8th house. Four major planets—Sun, Saturn, Rahu, and Mercury—are sitting there. Inside you, Bhanu, is a dark, deep mind that no one can even imagine. Your true ego (Sun) is completely hidden. Because Rahu is there, you will have some strange, deep lustful desires (taboo fantasies) that are not recognized by society. But because Saturn is there, those secrets are kept very safely locked away in a dark room without the world knowing."

**Maha Parivartana Yoga (The Mastermind):**
"You have 'Maha Parivartana Yoga', Bhanu. The lord of the 8th house, Venus, is sitting in the 9th house, and the lord of the 9th house, Mercury, is sitting in the 8th house. Because of this, Dharma and secret lust are blended together within you. Even some wrong things you do won't seem wrong to you; they will just seem like a righteous weapon you take up to fix your family. You will go to any limit to establish Dharma."

**Nakshatra - Punarvasu (The Return of the Light):**
"Next is your star, Punarvasu. This is the star ruled by Aditi, the mother of the gods. It means 'the return of the light'. This shows your true nature. You were not born to destroy anything; you were born to mend what is broken. You have a strange maternal instinct within you to break the ego of the men around you, teach them a lesson, and mold them back into complete men."

**Two Gurus in the House of Merit:**
"For you, Jupiter and Venus are together in the 9th house. Even though the Guru of the Devas, Jupiter, shows the path of Dharma, the Guru of the Asuras, Venus, will also show you the way to experience worldly pleasures. Only Venus knows the 'Mrita Sanjeevani Vidya' (bringing the dead back to life) mantra. This means you can even wake the dead. That is, if you wish, you can bring someone who is at the absolute bottom of life right to the peak."

**Current Dasha Bhukti (Timeline: 2026):**
"Do you know the most important thing of all? The Moon in your 10th house is in its own house, giving you 'Amala Yoga'. But more than that, now in 2026, you are passing through the Venus Bhukti in the major period (Maha Dasha) of Mercury. Both planets of the 'Parivartana Yoga' I mentioned earlier are now in full activation. The peak charm, diplomacy, and the power to break secrets in your life are manifesting right now. In short, you are an angel who dares to go to any limit for a good cause!"

After finishing, Kathir let out a long breath. His analysis, the things he said so openly, made Sandhya falter for a moment. She was stunned that he had captured all the perversions and plans in her mind exactly as they were, just by looking at her horoscope. But she didn't show it on her face.

Kathir smiled at her for a minute.

"But I have a small doubt, Bhanu. For Punarvasu 4th Pada, names usually start with the letter 'H', like 'Ha, Hi, Hu, He'. How did your family name you 'Bhanumathi'?" he asked.

Then he himself guessed the reason for it. "Maybe they named you that because the Moon in your 10th house is in its own sign? 'Bhanu' means bright light (Sun). 'Mathi' means Moon, or thought. I think they named you 'Bhanumathi' because you are a very bright, intelligent girl."

Hearing this, Sandhya just smiled and said, "Could be, Kathir!"

But inside, she was laughing. Her real name was Sandhya. She knew the real astrological reason why she was given that name.

She was born on a Friday. The influence of Venus is very high in her horoscope. Astronomically, Venus is the brightest object in the sky after the Sun and the Moon. That Venus shines in the sky before sunrise (Morning Star) and after sunset (Evening Star). That bright twilight period is called 'Sandhya' in Sanskrit (Pratah Sandhya / Morning Twilight, Saya Sandhya / Evening Twilight).

She knew very well that they named her 'Sandhya' because she, being ruled by Venus, fully possesses the beauty of that twilight period, a blend of brightness, elegance, and mystery.

But without telling Kathir that, she enjoyed the explanation he gave for her secret name 'Bhanumathi', marveling at his extraordinary astrological skills.

---

Once Kathir finished his amazed explanation of Sandhya's horoscope, Sandhya, with a faint, mysterious smile, started analyzing his horoscope.

"Now your turn, Kathir..." Sandhya began.

* **Ascendant (Lagna):** Leo
* **1st House (Leo):** Ketu, Mars, Mercury
* **2nd House (Virgo):** Venus (Debilitated)
* **4th House (Scorpio):** Moon (Debilitated)
* **5th House (Sagittarius):** Saturn
* **7th House (Aquarius):** Rahu
* **11th House (Gemini):** Jupiter
* **12th House (Cancer):** Sun
* **Moon Sign (Rasi):** Scorpio
* **Star (Nakshatra):** Anuradha

Looking straight at him, Sandhya began to list her predictions one by one like an expert psychologist.

**Leo Ascendant (The Muted King):**
"Generally, people with a Leo Ascendant are very majestic, loud, and always trying to attract others' attention. But in your Ascendant itself, Ketu (detachment), Mars (control), and Mercury (intellect) are sitting. Not only that, your Ascendant lord, the Sun, has gone and hidden in the 12th house, the house of loss and isolation. That's why you are like a 'Ghost in the gym', a quiet king. Even though you have the physique of a king, your mind is like that of a monk. You observe everyone, analyze them, but stay quietly aloof."

**2nd House (The Insecurity of Venus):**
"In your 2nd house of family and self-worth (Virgo), Venus is debilitated (in a very weak state). Venus is the significator of love and romance. Because it is so weak, there is a deep insecurity inside you: 'Will anyone ever truly love me?' Your married life might have given you a scar. You criticize yourself a lot."

**7th House (The Rahu Trap):**
"Rahu is sitting in your 7th house, the house of spouse/relationships. Your karma in this birth is entirely related to relationships. Rahu will always spin a web of illusion. It will bewitch you and attract strange or deceptive women to you. You will also be attracted to them. You are learning astrology so fanatically just to break this illusion and curse of Rahu."

**4th House (The Abyss of the Mind):**
"The 4th house represents the mind and inner peace. The Moon (significator of the mind) is debilitated there in Scorpio. Your mind is not a calm pond, Kathir; it is a deep, dark, stormy ocean. If you get hurt, you don't just feel sad; you descend into a deep psychological abyss."

**Nakshatra - Anuradha (The Star of Devotion):**
"Next is your star, Anuradha. This star is also called 'Anuraadha'. Meaning 'the follower of Radha'. The lotus is your symbol. This shows your true nature. Even though you look like a quiet, rugged gym guy on the outside, inside you are a 'die-hard romantic'. If you love someone, you will give your life for them. But if that pure love is not returned, you will shatter into pieces."

**Current Dasha Bhukti (Timeline: 2026):**
"The past Ketu Dasha (2016-2023) is what, according to Ketu's nature, must have pushed you into separation and isolation, shrinking you into the gym like this without any romance. But now in 2026, you are in the Venus Bhukti of your 20-year major period (Maha Dasha) of Venus..."

Sandhya flashed a charming smile at him. "Now I understand why you are such a huge gym freak. No one would believe you are 37 years old. Don't worry about the debilitated Venus anymore. Fortunately, the Venus Dasha has started. But... just be careful with the illusion of that Rahu in the 7th house, Kathir. No one can beat Rahu in showing desires and then deceiving."

Kathir stood speechless. Sandhya's prediction was like peeling his soul and showing it to him.

Just then, another person coming to the gym approached them.

"What Kathir, talking so deeply about horoscopes? Tell me my Rasi Palan (Zodiac predictions) too," he asked eagerly.

Kathir and Sandhya looked at each other and laughed. Both said at the same time, "The first thing people who know astrology give up is reading Rasi Palan. It's such a waste and misleading."

As that person moved away in confusion, Sandhya looked at Kathir.

"Kathir, shall we meet at a coffee shop this evening? We can have a detailed Q&A session," she said.

Thinking that this Bhanumathi had come like an angel during his 'debilitated Venus' Dasha, Kathir immediately agreed. "Definitely," he said.

"I will text you when I go to the swimming pool in the evening," Sandhya said and got ready to leave.

Kathir returned with immense satisfaction. He firmly started believing that finally, Venus had activated in his life and brought Bhanumathi to him. But, as Sandhya had said, he failed to realize the danger lurking behind that illusion of Rahu.

Thank you.

That evening.

Sandhya smoothly exited the swimming pool without catching Rakesh's eye. She took out her mobile and checked it. There was a message from Kathir. Coincidentally, he had chosen the exact same coffee shop she had gone to with Rakesh the previous day. Seeing this, Sandhya smiled faintly, replied 'I'm coming', and set off for the coffee shop.

In that coffee shop in Bangalore, the lighting was soothing, and soft music was playing.

Wearing tight jeans and a sleeveless top that subtly highlighted her prominent bust, Sandhya arrived and sat down. Kathir was sitting opposite her. Breaking his control, his eyes sized her up completely.

Both ordered coffee. Initially, the conversation revolved around astrology.

Sipping his coffee, Kathir asked, "Bhanu, you mentioned while talking at the gym this morning... that since I am running the Venus Dasha now, Venus has been activated. How are you saying that with such certainty?"

With a smile, Sandhya leaned forward slightly. "Even though Venus is debilitated in your 2nd house (Virgo), during its Dasha, lust and happiness will change significantly in your life, Kathir. It will provide a new light. Venus will return everything you have lost," she said. There was a mystery in her gaze.

Kathir enjoyed that. Then he asked, "Alright, let my horoscope be. You have Ketu in your 2nd house... what do you think about that?"

Sandhya thought for a moment and asked back, "Generally, if Ketu is in the 2nd house... they say there will be detachment in family life. But looking at me, does it seem like that?"

Kathir laughed. "Certainly, it won't affect your family life, Bhanu. Because your second house lord, Mars, is conjunct Jupiter in the ninth house. Generally, they say Ketu in the second house severs family attachments. But according to your horoscope, you won't see family just as an ordinary emotional bond. You will view it as a sacred duty, a Dharma. You will go to any extent to protect that duty. Ketu will keep you detached from the petty dramas within the family, but it will make you fight like a warrior to protect the family's honor."

"Oh... is that so!" Sandhya said.

"But, Ketu in the 2nd house will give your character a strange trait."

Sandhya raised an eyebrow. "A strange trait? What is that?"

"You lie a lot, Bhanu," Kathir said, looking straight into her eyes.

Although Sandhya was taken aback for a second, she immediately laughed out loud. "Lie? Me?"

"Yes. Your Ketu and Rahu will turn you into a formidable manipulator. But..." Kathir paused for a moment and continued, "You won't use this manipulation to ruin others or extort money. You will lie to protect yourself, for some justifiable reason. Correct?"

Sandhya was terrified inside. 'This guy is no joke... looks like he'll read my very pulse and nerves through astrology itself!' she thought to herself. But outwardly, with a faint smile, she just said, "Mmm... could be."

After some more astrological discussions, Sandhya changed the topic. Her face became a bit serious.

"Kathir... an important matter," she said, lowering her voice.

Kathir sat up straight. "Tell me, Bhanu."

"My father and grandfather have told me very strictly that I shouldn't share my horoscope with anyone. In fact, the only copy of my horoscope is with my grandfather. Besides him, you are the only person outside my family who knows my horoscope."

Hearing this, Kathir felt a sense of pride and was moved. He thrilled at the trust she had placed in him.

"Please... you shouldn't share this with anyone else," Sandhya said in a pleading tone.

With a smile, Kathir assured her. "Definitely, Bhanu. This is a secret kept only between the two of us."

He thought for a moment and asked in confusion, "But I have a doubt, Bhanu. If you shouldn't show your horoscope to anyone... how did your marriage happen? Did they marry you without checking horoscope compatibility?"

Sandhya laughed out loud again. Drinking her coffee, she started telling her story.

"That's a long story, Kathir. I was very, very close to my grandfather. When I was about 12 years old, my grandfather called me and spoke to me about a very serious matter."

Curious, Kathir asked, "What did he say?"

"He said he had looked at horoscopes and selected a boy for me. He asked for my promise that I would marry only him."

Kathir was shocked. "At 12 years old? What did you say?"

"I knew he was doing it for the good of my life, Kathir. So, without thinking for even a minute, I gave my promise to my grandfather," Sandhya said very casually.

Kathir stared at her, speechless. 'Would a girl make such a decision at 12 years old?'

Sandhya continued: "Grandfather told me who that boy was right then. I knew about their family. But we wouldn't meet often. The last time I saw that boy was when I was studying in LKG... I barely remembered him. Not only that, grandfather also told me that until I was ready for marriage... that is, for another 10 years, I wouldn't even get a chance to meet that boy in person."

With shock, Kathir said, "Wow... even in this day and age? But still, how did your husband's family accept this proposal? Didn't they ask for your horoscope?"

Sandhya said proudly, "My husband's family has that much respect for my grandfather, Kathir. In fact, it was my grandfather who calculated and wrote my husband's horoscope. At the same time he brought up this marriage talk with me, my grandfather had spoken to their family about this too."

"Did they agree immediately?"

"They took my grandfather's single word that the horoscope compatibility between the two of us was excellent as gospel truth. But... my uncle and aunt (mother-in-law) had a slight hesitation."

"What hesitation?"

"They had a fear: what if the kids grow up, fall in love with someone else, and insist on marrying them? But my grandfather said very confidently... 'Nothing like that will happen. Both of them will only marry the person their family chooses,' he affirmed."

Kathir looked at her in disbelief. It amazed him how a girl could wait for 10 years for her future husband on blind faith without even seeing his face.

Sandhya continued: "So, until my husband came to see me... I waited for almost 10 years. I never even searched for him on social media. But when I was 18, at a function, I met my aunt (mother-in-law), uncle (father-in-law), his older brother, his younger brother, and the eldest daughter-in-law of that house. They all liked me... and I really liked their family too. Mentally, I became a daughter of their house right then."

Amazed, Kathir asked, "So you didn't see your husband then?"

"No. My grandfather had strictly said that my husband and I shouldn't meet in person until the marriage was fixed."

Kathir sighed. "Great, Bhanu. How were you able to do this? How did he wait without seeing or talking to you in person?"

With a faint smile, Sandhya said, "I don't know, Kathir. But that yearning of not seeing him kept a thrill and a huge anticipation alive within me. That made me focus only on my life and my studies. It protected me from falling into any love affairs in college or college. I was so happy with my studies."

Kathir was looking at her in awe. He felt that she was no ordinary girl, but an epic woman who would go to any lengths for her family and her beliefs.

But, keeping it a mysterious secret within herself where that 10 years of waiting and trust had brought her today, Sandhya was getting ready to cast Kathir into an illusionary web.

---

Kathir sat in awe, listening to the story of Sandhya's 10-year wait. While their conversation was going on, a couple pushed the glass door of the coffee shop and entered.

Sandhya's gaze coincidentally turned that way. It was Rakesh! With him, a modern girl came in very closely.

Sandhya immediately snapped to attention and hid herself slightly behind Kathir's line of sight. She was careful not to catch Rakesh's eye. At the same time, while talking to Kathir, she keenly observed Rakesh and that girl.

Rakesh seated her at a table, was stroking her hands, and talking very intimately. The girl's body language showed that she had completely fallen into Rakesh's trap. The way Rakesh touched her, and the way he leaned in near her neck to talk, clearly indicated to Sandhya that 'He is definitely going to fuck her tonight'.

A thought ran through Sandhya's mind. 'Do I need a guy like this, who sleeps around with multiple partners in sexual matters? Was I a bit hasty in my rush for revenge?' she thought.

She firmly believed that no matter how much hunger for lust (dry spell) she had, she would never fall into the trap of a 'playboy' like Rakesh. What she needed wasn't just lust, but a righteous revenge. Rakesh was not the right guy for that.

Her gaze turned back to Kathir. He was looking at her with admiration. 'This guy... he's been yearning without the scent of a woman for many months. His lust is pure and strong. He alone is enough. Initially, I can have sex with him while making Vicky watch. Later, if I can make Vicky join in too... the threesome we anticipated will happen perfectly.'

In that one moment, Sandhya completely cut Rakesh out of her plan.

She sat up straight and looked directly into Kathir's eyes.

**Sandhya:** "Alright Kathir, leave that. Is your divorce finalized? Or is the case still going on?"

This question pulled Kathir back to reality. His face suddenly wilted.

**Kathir:** "It's over, Bhanu." His voice turned raspy. "It was a love marriage. But, she could never understand me. My family and my responsibilities were important to me. Her freedom and her lifestyle were important to her. Small ego clashes became big, and finally, we separated mutually."

**Sandhya:** "Kids?"

Kathir's eyes teared up slightly.

**Kathir:** "I have a son. He's eight years old. Being separated from him is hell, Bhanu. If I wanted, I could have fought for custody. But I know my wife cherishes him more than her life, and moreover, he needs a mother's embrace. I didn't have the heart to separate him from his mother. So I left him with her. But... right now, I am living my life only for him." He finished saying this with pain.

Sandhya's heart melted. She reached out her hand and supportively held his hand resting on the table. Her soft touch was a great comfort to Kathir.

**Sandhya:** "Don't worry, Kathir. Kids will definitely understand a father when the time comes. A father's affection is always expressed only through sacrifice. Fathers don't know how to make kids understand that, and kids won't understand it initially. But, when that sacrifice comes to be understood, the father usually won't be around. That is the rule of nature."

She squeezed his hand lightly. "But one thing, Kathir... no matter who forgets, a son will never forget his father until the end. You watch, at the right time, your son will come to you."

These words of Sandhya unloaded the burden that had been in Kathir's mind for many months. The comfort his debilitated Moon in the 4th house (depressed mind) sought, it found in her words.

They both looked at each other in silence. In that coffee shop, a deep understanding and mental peace that transcended lust formed between them. With that clarity, they both took leave from the coffee shop and returned to their respective homes.

Sandhya had set a clear target in her revenge plan. From now on, Kathir was her only target.
