Downstairs, Ramesh shuffled in, bleary-eyed from a late night, oblivious to her chaos. "I'm leaving for a short business trip, US, two weeks," he grunted, tossing his suitcase by the door. "Leaving tonight."

Madhuri nodded, mute, her mind spinning, alone again, vulnerable, the stalker's playground widening. "Travel safe, honey!" she said, her voice flat, and he left to pack, leaving her staring at the empty kitchen, her shame a cage, her need a key she couldn't throw away.
Abhi emerged, headphones dangling, his eyes flicking to her, red-eyed, shaken, a shadow of his mom. He'd heard her scream last night, raw, shattering, and Ishaan's "More tomorrow" burned in his skull.
"Maa... u okay?" he asked, voice small, testing.
She flinched, forcing a smile. "Yea sweetie.. just tired.." Her lie hung thin, her tremble visible, and Abhi's chest tightened, guilt, awe, a thrill he couldn't name.
He texted Ishaan, fast: "She's off and quiet Ishaan, also dad's leaving for US tonight"
Ishaan's reply buzzed: "That's perfect timing, my guy, Your busy dad's gonna regret this big time!"
Ishaan grinned across town, sprawled shirtless on his bed, her deleted pics still safe in his locked folder, her shock, his triumph. Ramesh's trip was a gift, he'd creep closer now, tease her shame and stoke her need.
