Divya let the gate clang shut behind her one final time, the sound sharp in the quiet lane. She turned away quickly, not looking back, her maroon saree swishing with each hurried step toward the house. The pallu was still clutched tight in one fist, knuckles white, as if holding it could keep everything else in place — her anger, her loyalty, the unwanted flutter that refused to die completely.
She didn’t see Beeda.
But he did stop.
His dark eyes followed her — not her face this time, but lower. The way her hips moved under the saree as she walked, the soft, natural sway that years of carrying water pots and chasing Monu had only made more pronounced. The fabric clung slightly from the morning’s heat and tension, outlining the full, rounded curve of her buttocks with every step. Modest, traditional, yet undeniably feminine.
The kind of body a man like him had stared at from across galiyan for years, never close enough to touch… until minutes ago in that kitchen.
Beedaa’s scarred lips parted slightly. He pulled a fresh beedi from the pocket of his vest, lit it with a match struck against the rough wall beside him. The first deep drag filled his lungs, smoke curling out slow and thick through his nostrils like a dragon exhaling. His chest rose and fell heavily. Eyes never left her retreating form.
He watched the way the saree pleats shifted, the faint jiggle with each stride, the way her waist dipped in before flaring out again. Lust — raw, unfiltered, decades-old — coiled low in his gut. At 60, he’d seen plenty, taken plenty, but there was something about this one: the good wife, the loyal one, the one who’d shoved his hand away with fire in her eyes and still called him back for a damn key. That mix of defiance and untouched purity made it burn hotter.
He took another long pull on the beedi, the red tip glowing bright.
