Praise The Husband

Chapter 11

Sundari groaned as she opened her eyes to the sound of her alarm clock beeping at 5 am. She hated the fact that she needed to wake up this early every morning just to attend to the king Rudransh. She wished she could just sleep in and do whatever she wanted to do.

She slowly got out of bed and dragged herself to the bathroom to wash up. Sundari splashed cold water on her face, hoping it would wake her up, but to no avail. She then got dressed and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Before leaving her hut, she pulled Simba's cheeks and told him to work in the garden today. Simba groaned and said yes before falling back to sleep. Sundari rolled her eyes and walked out of the hut, knowing Simba would never do any work in the garden.

She then walked to the king's door and knocked. Rudransh's response was, "come in," and she entered the room. She saw Rudransh standing in front of his huge window, staring off into the distance. Sundari asked how she could help him.

Rudransh smiled and decided to have some fun with her. He told Sundari to get the bath ready for him. Sundari's face went red as she recalled how last time he had walked in on her bathing in there. She immediately nodded and ran off to prepare the bath.

She then prepared all of his clothes with the help of the head maid who directed and helped her do everything. This time, Sundari paid close attention to the head maid's directions and made sure she did not make a single mistake. She knew that every mistake would cause her to spend another month in this kingdom.

Rudransh then got Sundari to do a bunch of his work. He made her go prepare food for him and then told her he didn't like it the first time, so she had to go back and cook again. Sundari found the whole situation absurd and frustrating.

Rudransh looked at Sundari and said, "Oh, before you go, please wash all of my clothes." Sundari's face fell as she looked at the piles of clothes that Rudransh had handed her. "Have you not washed your clothes in years?" she asked, confused by the sheer amount of dirty clothes.

Rudransh looked at her with a scowl on his face. "Don't question me, just get on with the task," he snapped. Sundari nodded and quickly ran off to the river to wash the clothes. As she was washing the clothes, her intuitive thoughts started kicking in. She thought about burning all of Rudransh's clothes and running away, but she knew that she couldn't escape the kingdom.

Sundari continued to wash the clothes frantically, hoping to finish the task quickly. As she was scrubbing away, she couldn't help but think about how dirty Rudransh's clothes were. She wondered what he had been doing to get them so grubby.

Sundari couldn't help but burst into laughter at the thought of involving Simba in the clothes-washing ordeal. With a mischievous grin, she called out to Simba, "Hey, lazybones! Time to put those paws to work!" 

Simba let out a dramatic meow as if he was deeply offended by the suggestion. 

Sundari playfully slapped him on the back, saying, "Come on, Simba, it'll be a fun bonding experience! Plus, you owe me for all the times you've lounged around while I did all the chores." Reluctantly, Simba joined Sundari at the riverside, their paws splashing in the water as they scrubbed away at the pile of dirty clothes.

As she neared the end of her task, Sundari resisted the urge to confront Rudransh about his dirty laundry. 

Sundari gritted her teeth and made a mental note to never trust Rudransh again when he says he has 'some,' work for her. She couldn't believe she had fallen for another one of his tricks. She finished washing the clothes and handed them back to Rudransh, who barely even acknowledged her effort.
