(At night)
Because Ishika slept during the afternoon, she wakes up by 4 AM. Trying hard to sleep again, but sleep evades her.
She looks at Ujjwal, who is barely visible in the dimly lit room. Then she glances down at her own body and starts talking to herself:
"I'm so out of shape."
"Does he feel embarrassed whenever we go out together?"
"But, he has never said anything about my body."
She shakes off these thoughts, trying to divert her mind away by recalling incident.
One incident comes to her mind- a time when she forgot to bring her bra into the bathroom.
(Flashback Begins)
After finishing her bath, she dries herself with a towel. When it’s time to dress, she realizes she forgot to bring her bra.
"What do I do now? He’s sitting outside."
"Should I ask him to get it for me?"
"But..."
"But what will he think after seeing the size of my bra? How big-"
"No, no, Ishika, you can’t ask him."
"But there’s no other option."
Timidly, she calls out, “Can you help me?”
“Yes, Ishika, what is it?” he replies, walking towards the door.
“I... I forgot to bring something. Can you get it for me?” she says hesitantly, standing near the door.
“Yes. Tell me what and where it is.”
“In the cupboard... my b-bra.” Her voice barely escapes her lips.
He opens the cupboard and starts searching.
“Ishika...”
“Yes?”
“It’s not here.” Mischievous Ujjwal
“What? But... how is that possible?” she mutters.
“I’ve searched the entire cupboard. It’s nowhere to be found,” liar
“What should I do now?” she asks herself.
Realizing she’ll have to search for it herself, she quickly puts on a kurti and leggings. However, she notices that without the bra, shape is visible.
"How can I go out like this?"
"Don’t overthink, it’s your husband."
"But I’ll feel so embarrassed."
“Ishika?” Ujjwal calls out.
Ishika comes out of the bathroom, holding her kurti forward from her belly. Her face flushed with embarrassment.
“I’ll check the cupboard,” she says, her cheeks growing warmer.
“Ishika, don’t you trust me?”
“It’s not that... Maybe you missed a spot while looking.” She avoids his gaze as embarrassment fills her eyes.
She searches the entire cupboard but still can’t find it.
Sitting on the bed, he watches her, her back turned to him.
“I usually keep it here,” she mutters.
“See? I told you.”
“Hmm”
“Look at me, Ishika.”
