The Monster in my Bed

Chapter -- 3

The episode starts with Siya and Riddhima talking about the incident which Riddhima faced recently in her in-laws house, which made her broken down.

Riddhima with a broken voice says, " Same like everyday, he beats me like a monster. A heartless person I have ever met with! ".

Siya says putting her one hand on Riddhima's shoulder to give her mental support, " You should leave and give him divorce. What is the need to do all this and tolerate this violence?? ".

Riddhima closes her eyes and remembers her father requesting and folding handing in front of her. A tear rolls down from her face thinking about that night. A night which changed her. A hell and heaven difference between old and new Riddhima.

Riddhima says coldly, " My all expectations have died upon everyone, now I have my expectation only on God!! ". 

Flashback Starts:-

Riddhima was standing in a kitchen and making dinner for her, and her family. Though she didn't eat properly from last few days. But if today she don't eat something then surely she will be in health problems. 

The kitchen is not very big in size but a small one, a middle - class family can afford. It is not a modular kitchen. It has shelves on the walls. All the boxes in the shelves can be seen as they are closed my glass doors.

There is also a small window, the window is opened and winds are blowing in and out. Beside the window there is the wash basin. On the opposite of wash basin there is the three burner stove.

She was making the dough, keeping the plate on the racks. She had already made palak panner, her husband's favorite dish, and kept it aside. She thought to make paratha with ghee to make his husband happy on her.

She was doing his work when all of a old woman in his seventies comes there with a stick in his hand.

Woman says in an annoyed manner, " I was calling you can't you hear?? Have you become deaf?? ". 

Riddhima lifts her face and says innocently as much she can, " Sorry Dadi, I didn't hear you. I was busy with the works ".

Dadi thinks herself : Busy!! Whenever I asks her something, Maha Rani ( Queen ) is busy. God knows what she do everytime. Now see how I am gonna teach her a lesson.

Dadi to Riddhima, " Ok, Ok. Now make tea for me. And....

Before she can complete her sentence Riddhima starts, " Can I give you after 5 mins. My dough is almost ready. "

By saying this Riddhima starts to work again bowing her head down. Here Dadi was burning in anger.

Dadi to herself : What? She said me no?? Now I show what this Sushani Mathur can do!!

By thinking this she gives a force smile to Riddhima and leaves.

Riddhima completes her all works. After making the dinner, she cleans her room. Just then her husband enters. Hearing the door sound, she takes her sari pallu and covers her head.

She comes outside and saw her husband is not able to stand properly as he drank a lot. She immediately runs and supports him.

Riddhima panics and says, " You have drank again? I have said you not to drink so much. It is injurious for your health ".

Listening to her lecture again he pushed him. And with a irritating face says, " Stop your lecture ok? Who are you to say what I will do? You are my wife ok? I am your husband. Don't try to boss around me. A girls place is beneath a men's feet so seal your mouth. "
