20 - Worthless life

Writer's pov

Morning

"Parvathi don't have time for all these maa ji. She never had time for anything in this house. Just living her life by enjoying the title of this house daughter in law. I don't want Lakshmi to be like that. That's why I am asking you to give me permission to teach Laksmi everything. Other than me who can do it ? " Varada was talking to dadi. She is asking permission from dadi to teach Lakshmi all customs and tradition about Rathore family.

"Where is Parvathi?" dadi asked to Varada while drinking her morning herbal tea.

"She left early in the morning. She always visits several temples at every new month. She didn't inform you ? " Varada asked to dadi like a huge issue. Dadi sighed and concentrated on her tea.

" She never bothers to inform anything with you. This is what I said, Lakshmi is going to learn the same from Parvathi. Dev is busy with his works and if Lakshmi becomes so irresponsible it will add much difficulty in his life. Please maa ji don't say no.... " Varada insisted dadi to give her permission to train Lakshmi.

"It should be Parvathi who has to do this, since she is not here... okay fine you teach her everything. I will call Parvathi to get the keys of house from where she kept it. " dadi finally agreed with Varada and give her permission to teach Lakshmi.

Lechu was running inside the room collecting Dev's things. She thought he wouldn't come back to home yesterday so she slept like a dead body. But when she heard some noise from tv and checked her heart skipped some beat. Dev was sitting on the couch watching some random English movie and time was only early morning five. Lechu quickly jumped from floor and from there she started running.

When he comes ? When he wont come only god knows. I don't have sixth sense to predict his actions also I am not that sixteenth century wife who gets to know about the arrival of her husband just by his footprints. I kicked on his dirty cloths on floor towards the corner with my leg and jumped on it again and again to let out my anger. After I feel satisfied a little bit I take it from floor to put it on laundry box but that's when I noticed something on his shirt, a lipstick mark.

I know I shouldn't be surprised for this because what is Dev and what he does its very well clear to me but to be frank sometimes seeing such things in front of your eyes can make a churn inside your heart. A curiosity to know with whom my husband spend his night? If I can feel that who don't have any feelings for my husband then how a wife who is devoted to her husband can feel?

Many faced flashed inside my mind who can be the owner of this lipstick in that Lavanaya is in the priority list.

Sometimes I feel jealous of her and sometimes pity. Who is this man ? Devdutta Prathap Singh Rathore. That name itself is enough to show know his power.
What kind of person is he actually? A pervert ? a womanizer ? I don't think so because if it was one between these two then he wouldn't have felt anything for Nisha. Life which he leading now is not something which he wanted but its happening.

I looked at Dev who came out from bathroom after shower. I couldn't take my eyes from him because of all these thoughts. Am I making any mistake in understanding this man?

"What's on your mind?" It was like he wake me up from my thoughts. I looked at him with my baffled face like I didn't heard what he said.

" Do you want to know this mark belongs to whom?" he took his shirt from my hand and asked.

"Without telling I can guess it, Lavanya ... right?" I mumbled with a bee stung face. He came close to me by making me cornered and smirked. His eyes ran from my tip of hair to every inch on my body. I felt like something piercing into my skin, that much intense was his looks.
