Praise The Husband

Chapter 19

Sundari had been avoiding Rudransh for weeks now, feeling scared, angry, and frustrated about his possessive and obsessive behavior towards her. She sat in the garden, fixing the herbs, with Simba, thankful for the distraction. "I just can't understand why Rudransh behaves this way. He claims to love me, but his actions are making me feel trapped," she said to Simba.

Simba nodded empathetically at her. "I agree, Sundari, his behavior is confusing, possessive and can be very scary." She continued to fix the garden, trying to keep her mind off the situation. Radha arrived with lemon water, a welcomed refreshment on this hot day.

Finally, Sundari finished planting the last herb and suddenly the spell that had kept her in the castle had broken. She was overjoyed, but Simba was a bit sad as he was enjoying living in such a big kingdom with all the luxuries. Radha, who had grown very close to Sundari and Simba over the two months they've been together, was also sad. She knew that Sundari and Simba were leaving, and she would miss them terribly.

As they all made their way back to the house, Sundari hugged Radha and told her that she could also come with them. Radha asked, "Where are you going to go, Sundari?" 

Sundari replied, "I'm not sure, but we'll find a place to live, come with us Radha."

Deep down, Sundari was conflicted. She knew that Rudransh would not be happy about this, and she was afraid of his reaction. However, she also could not continue living under his possessive nature. "I have to do what's best for me," she said to herself.

As they packed up their belongings, Sundari couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt. She knew that leaving Rudransh would hurt him, but she had to break free from his obsessive behavior

The three of them were huddled behind a tree just inside the castle walls, planning their route to avoid being seen.

Simba whined, "I'm going to miss the bath house and all the food. And Rudransh is my best friend, I don't want to leave him behind."

Radha put her hand on Simba's head and said, "I know, Simba, but we've made our decision. We have to leave now."

Sundari chimed in, "We have to be smart about this. Let's try to go around the east wall. I think it's the least guarded."

They started their journey around the castle walls, hiding behind trees and bushes. Suddenly Sundari stopped in her tracks. "I don't think I can make it past the magical dome," she whispered.

Radha and Simba both looked at her in surprise. "What do you mean? You've completed your promise to Rudransh," said Radha.

Sundari shrugged, "I don't know why, but every time I try to cross it, I get zapped. It's like there's some kind of force field."

Simba offered, "Maybe I can do it. I'm an animal, maybe my energy is different."

Radha and Sundari both looked skeptical, but they decided to let him try. Simba closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and ran towards the dome. He reached the edge and kept going, much to their surprise. He turned around and said, "See? It's easy!"

But as soon as he turned around to run back to them, he was struck by an invisible force and fell unconscious.

Sundari, Radha, and Simba were walking through the forest, trying to stay hidden from any potential danger. They had left the castle in a hurry, not knowing where they were going or what they were going to do. As they walked, they noticed the beauty of the forest. The sunlight filtered through the dense canopy, casting dappled patterns on the forest floor. The sounds of birds chirping and leaves rustling filled the air, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Sundari, Radha, and Simba couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder as they navigated through their unfamiliar surroundings.
