Adultery Nalini and The Unseen Virus

[tweeny_fory]

Her mind raced, trying to recall every guideline she had read. She had been so careful, sanitizing everything that entered the house, maintaining social distance, and wearing a mask even when she talked to the plants. But fear has a way of amplifying the tiniest doubts. She hesitated, hand on the doorknob, her heart thudding in her chest. They insisted, and she couldn't say no. With a deep breath, she stepped aside, allowing them to enter. The smell of antiseptic and sweat invaded her space as they moved past her, their eyes scanning the neatly arranged living room.


The taller one, who introduced himself as Anbu, spoke in a gruff voice, his eyes darting around the room. "Ma'am, we are here to ensure your safety and the safety of those around you. We'll need to check your home and ask you a few questions." The smaller man, Teja, offered a timid nod, his eyes averted as he took a step further in. His demeanor was in stark contrast to Anbu's assertiveness. He looked nervous, his hand fidgeting with the strap of the bag slung over his shoulder.

Nalini's heart pounded against her ribs as she led them into the living room, her bare feet sinking into the plush carpet. She had just woken up and was still in her nightie, a simple white garment with a delicate lace border that whispered against her skin with every movement. She wished she had had the time to change into something more presentable. The room felt hot and stifling despite the cool breeze that swept in from the open windows. She sat down on the sofa, tugging at the fabric self-consciously, trying to cover herself as best she could.


On impulse, she reached for the bright blue dupatta that lay dbangd over the armrest. She knew it wasn't much, but it was all she had. She wrapped it around her chest, the soft fabric whispering across her skin, and knotted it securely, feeling a little more covered, though the makeshift blouse did little to hide her ample curves. She could feel their eyes on her, but she forced herself to look them in the eye, trying to exude confidence she didn't quite feel. "What questions do you have for me?" she asked, her voice steady despite the tremor in her hands.
