Praise The Husband

Chapter 30

Sundari bolted out of the kitchen, leaving everyone shocked and surprised at her sudden action. Rudransh just sighed and picked up one of the sweets that she had made. 

"Hmm, not bad," he said, trying to sound casual despite his inner conflict.

Simba looked embarrassed and apologized for his friend's actions. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I don't know what's gotten into her," he said, shaking his head in disbelief.

Rudransh just smiled and patted the cat on the head. "It's alright, Simba. Just go find her and make sure she's okay," he said, trying to keep his voice calm despite his inner conflict as he sat down and finished making the sweets on his wife's behalf.

Meanwhile, Sundari was running as fast as she could, trying to put as much distance between herself and Rudransh as possible. She quickly climbed up a tree and hid among the branches, hoping that he wouldn't be able to find her.

But as she looked down, she could see Rudransh and Simba looking for her all over the place. "Where could she have gone?" Rudransh asked, his voice sounding cute and slightly confused.

As Rudransh continued his search for Sundari, he approached every person he encountered with a cute and slightly confused expression.

"Have you seen my wife, Sundari?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine concern. Each person shook their head, stifling a laugh at the sight of the king looking for his missing wife.

The search took them to the most unexpected places - from the royal gardens to the royal library, and even to the royal stables. But Sundari remained elusive, enjoying the game of hide-and-seek she had unintentionally started.

As Rudransh and Simba looked all over the place for Sundari, they asked everyone they saw if they had seen her. "Excuse me, have you seen my wife?" Rudransh asked, unintentionally sounding cute and playful.

Most people just looked at him with confusion, not quite knowing how to respond to the king's unusual behavior. "Um, no, sorry. I haven't seen her," one woman said, frowning slightly.

Rudransh just smiled and nodded, trying to keep his inner conflict in check. "Okay, thank you anyway," he said, walking away and continuing his search.

As they walked further down the street, Rudransh spotted a group of children playing and ran over to them. "Hey, kids! Have you seen my wife?" he asked, crouching down to their level.

The children just giggled and pointed in all different directions. "She's over there!" one of them said, pointing to the left.

Rudransh looked in the direction they had pointed, but he couldn't see Sundari anywhere. "Hmm, maybe she's hiding somewhere," he said, trying to sound calm, despit his growing frustration.

Simba just shook his head, looking slightly embarrassed by his friend's behavior. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. She's probably just hiding somewhere," he said, trying to be as reassuring as possible.

Rudransh just sighed and looked around again, trying to spot any signs of Sundari's whereabouts. "Where could she have gone?" he asked, his inner conflict growing more and more intense.

After searching for what felt like hours, Rudransh was starting to lose hope. But just as he was about to give up, he saw something move out of the corner of his eye. "Sundari? Is that you?" he called out, running towards the small figure.

As he got closer, he could see that it was just a stray cat. Rudransh sighed and shook his head, feeling both disappointed and slightly amused at the same time. "Well, that wasn't very helpful," he muttered to himself, his inner conflict growing more and more intense.

As Sundari sat up in the tree, she started to feel hunger pangs in her stomach. "Why did I have to run away when I was the one who made the sweets?" she thought to herself, feeling a sense of regret for her hasty decision.

Just as she was about to climb down from the tree, she heard a shuffling noise from the bushes. She looked down and saw Rudransh pushing the bushes apart, trying to find her.

"Have you seen my wife? She's been hiding from me all day," he said, trying to sound cute and playful.

The bushes just rustled in response, causing Rudransh to look up and see Sundari hiding in the tree. "There you are!" he said, smiling up at her.

Sundari felt her heart racing as she realized that she had been caught. Without thinking, she immediately jumped from the tree and started running away as fast as she could.

Rudransh slowly followed behind her, trying to catch up before she ran too far away. "Come on, Sundari. Don't run away like that," he called out, hoping to get her to slow down.

But Sundari just kept running faster and faster, trying to put as much distance between herself and Rudransh as possible. "I can't believe he saw me up there," she thought to herself, feeling embarrassed and frustrated at the same time.

As she turned a corner, she ran straight into an old man carrying a basket of fruit. The basket flew out of his hands and fruit went flying everywhere.

"Oh no! I'm so sorry!" Sundari said, trying to help the man pick up his fruit.

Rudransh finally caught up with her and saw the mess. "What happened here?" he asked, looking slightly confused.

Sundari just sighed and shook her head, feeling embarrassed that she had caused such a scene. "I was just running away from you and I wasn't looking where I was going," she said, feeling a sense of shame for her behavior. Rudransh clicked his fingers and all the fallen fruit was back in the bascket.

Sundari was feeling more and more overwhelmed as the day went on. All she wanted was to be free and to live her life on her own terms, but it seemed like fate had other plans for her. So she pushed Rudransh and she ran away from Rudransh and hid in the horse shed, she felt like she was finally able to breathe a little easier.

As she curled up into a ball and silently cried her frustration out, she tried to come up with a plan. Maybe she could somehow escape from the palace and start over somewhere else.

As Sundari curled up into a ball and silently cried her frustration out, she couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope. Maybe, just maybe, she could find a way to escape from the palace and start over somewhere else. Lost in her thoughts, she didn't notice when Rudransh quietly walked into the shed and sat beside her, offering a silent comfort that spoke volumes.

As Sundari continued to cry, Rudransh gently placed his hand over her head, offering a silent comfort that spoke volumes. 

"I'm so sorry, Sundari," he whispered, his voice trembling with regret. "I never should have treated you that way. Everything I did was based off the book Kama-sutra, and I realize now how wrong and hurtful it was to generalize what was in the book to you. I promise, from this moment on, I will never touch you in such a way again." 

Sundari's tears continued to flow, her heart torn between the pain of the past and the glimmer of hope for a better future.

As Sundari wiped away her tears, she considered a few possible ways to escape from the palace. She could disguise herself as a servant and blend in with the staff, or she could try to find allies within the palace who would help her in her escape. 

Another option was to wait for a special event or celebration when security might be more relaxed, and make her move then. But just as she was about to leave Rudransh, a sudden movement caught her eye. She froze in fear as she saw a venomous snake slithering towards her. Before she could react, Rudransh swiftly picked her up and enclosed both of them in a protective spell, capturing the snake inside a bubble.

"You okay Sundari?" he asked still holding her in his arms.

Sundari's heart was a battleground of conflicting emotions. On one hand, she longed for freedom and a chance at a new life outside the palace walls. On the other hand, Rudransh's unexpected display of remorse and protection stirred a flicker of compassion and forgiveness within her. As she looked into his eyes, she realized that perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope for their relationship.
