Reena stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, scanning the room. "My saree?" she muttered to herself. "Looking for this?" Rocky stood by the door, holding it up with a smug smirk. "Give me my saree, Mr. Bheriya." "Call me Rocky, and I'll give it back... Mrs. Bheriya." "Stop this childish act and hand it over," she snapped, clearly frustrated.
He didn't. Instead, he stepped forward and grabbed her by the waist, pulling her close.
"Pregnancy changed you, baby," he murmured, eyes lingering shamelessly on her curves. "You look like a full meal now... especially with all that weight you gained in the right places."
Her eyes narrowed. "Reena! Come soon!" Santhi's voice echoed through the hallway. "I'm coming, Maa!" they both yelled in unison. Reena groaned, slapping her forehead.
Outside, their daughter began to cry. Santhi picked her up and cooed, "Shhh... stop crying, baby. Your mom and dad are probably making you a little sibling gift for your next birthday." Rocky chuckled at that.
For a split second, Reena's heart wavered at the sound. It had been so long since she heard him laugh like that. Genuinely. But then she reminded herself-smiles don't erase betrayal.
She yanked the saree from his grip and turned away. "Call me Rocky, and I'll leave. Promise, Firefly," he teased. She pushed him out of the closet. "Like I haven't seen everything before," he mumbled with a smirk as he walked away.
