Praise The Husband

Chapter 29

As the shadow crept around the borders of Rudransh's kingdom, it felt the powerful force of a magical shield blocking its entry. It slithered and twisted, desperate to find a way in, but the shield held strong, frustrating its every attempt.

"Curse this shield and its creator!" the shadow hissed to itself, filled with a deep inner conflict. "I am supposed to be all-powerful, and yet I am unable to even penetrate a barrier? How can this be?"

As the shadow continued to seethe in frustration, it stumbled upon a group of snakes slithering through the underbrush. A wicked smile spread across the shadow's face as it addressed the snakes.

"Ah, my dear friends. I am in need of your assistance," the shadow purred, its voice smooth and silky. "Will you help me get through this pesky shield and into Rudransh's kingdom? I will reward you greatly for your aid."

The snakes slithered forward, their tongues flicking out eagerly. 

"What must we do?" they hissed in unison.The shadow's smile widened as it shared its plan.

The snakes set out to execute their plan, the air grew heavy with tension and anticipation. But Rudransh's kingdom was not about to give up its magical shield without a fight, and the shadow found itself facing an impenetrable fortress.In the end, the shadow slunk back into the dark shadows.

"I will find another way in. And when I do, my revenge will be swift and terrible." With those ominous words, the shadow disappeared into the night, leaving behind only a whisper of its dark intentions.

Sundari could not believe what had just happened. The shame and embarrassment that washed over her were overwhelming, and she now found herself in the shower, continuously scrubbing and washing herself in a desperate attempt to rid herself of Rudransh's seed.

As she stood there, lost in a sea of conflicting emotions, she tried to calm herself down by repeating the mantra in her head, "It's okay, everything is okay. It was just a mistake."

But the more she tried to convince herself of this, the worse her inner conflict became. "How could I have been so careless?" she muttered to herself, her hands still furiously scrubbing. "What if someone finds out? What if Rudransh comes after me?"

Suddenly, she ran her hand over her face in frustration and froze is shock. She looked down to see the offending hand that had just touched Rudransh, and a scream escaped her lips. "Oh, no! It's still there!" she cried out, her voice filled with horror and disbelief.

Her eyes darted around the shower as she frantically grabbed at anything that might help her remove the cursed seed. But as much as she scrubbed, it seemed to only embed the seed further into her skin.

Just as she was about to give up all hope, a sudden realization dawned on her. "Should i just cut my hand off!?" she cried out in desperation.

The thought of losing her hand was almost too much to bear, but in her current state of mind, it seemed like the only solution. She began pacing back and forth, her thoughts racing a mile a minute.

Sundari quickly threw on a deep red saree, making sure to strategically. She grabbed a stack load of random stuff from the bathhouse - towels, stools, even a random loofah - and precariously stacked them near the window at the very top. 

With a determined look in her eyes, she precariously balanced herself on the makeshift tower and struggled to open the window, sending soaps and towels flying in all directions. As she stuck her head out, she quickly realized that her escape plan was doomed to fail.
