Adultery Antarvasana: The Forbidden Fire – *** Varnika's First Surrender ***

Madhavi’s Inner World – “The Pole Star”


The phone screen dimmed beside her. Abhi’s last message still echoed in her chest.

“Good night, anchor.”

Madhavi lay on her side, her head resting lightly on her arm, eyes half-closed.

The fan above murmured in slow circles, but her thoughts moved faster, deeper.
There had been so many moments that evening where she had wanted to hold his hand in front of everyone.

Just to claim him for a second.

But that wasn’t who she was.

And more importantly—that wasn’t what he needed.

Abhi wasn’t hers.

He never had been.

And he never would be.

He was kind.

Too kind, even.

Soft in a way that attracted those who needed refuge.

Or wonder. Or a glimpse of something steady inside chaos.

He didn’t even realize it… but he was the kind of man women noticed.

Wanted. Tried for.

Tall, gentle, warm-eyed.

And innocent in ways most men had long buried.

Madhavi smiled faintly into the darkness.

He would eventually get married.

Maybe even fall in love deeply, more than once.

Some girl would catch him unguarded with her poetry.

Another with her fire.

And maybe one with a storm that matched his own.
