I said “no, not anymore. If my daughter can wear such clothes, then why I cannot? Let me see their reactions today”. I packed the jeans, frocks and all the new inners in my bag leaving only the honeymoon nightwear in his.
The nightwear was still brand new because I never got a chance to wear it because we were always very horny by the time we got back to our room. Putta settled the bill and we hit the road going back.
The journey back was mostly quite. Putta asked “what’s wrong Munni? Why are you so quiet”? I said “I am thinking about how short-lived our happiness was. Now back to the grind where no one cares about me”.
He said “don’t worry Munni darling, I am still there to take care of you. We will still continue our daily sessions”. I said “yes that is the only solace I have”. He said “I will pray everything gets over and we are permanently together soon”.
I said “yes I will pray too that we get united very soon”. Then we reached home and Putta stopped outside his house first. I got down from the SUV when Radhika came out.
She looked at me bewildered from head to toe, she exclaimed “Sarita I cannot believe you finally changed your dressing”. I blushed and said “thank you Radhika”.
She said “I have been after you since so many years but you did not budge, what miracle happened now”? I looked at Pramod and said “lets just say he was able to convince me to change my mind”.
She said “whatever be the case I am very happy for you. Now you will wear sarees only for family functions, that’s final”. I meekly said “yes I will do as you say”.
We went inside and sat on the sofa. Even Adarsh was there, he said “Sarita I found it hard to recognise you at first, you are surely looking very pretty”. They asked me to join for dinner.
I politely declined saying “thank you but my family will be waiting back home, so I should go”. Putta dropped me home but not before a nice long smooch. It was 9pm, I got down from the SUV and saw all the lights were off.
I called my Ex, he said they were all out for dinner tonight and will be back by 10 and hung up. Again same bloody cold treatment, he could have at least asked if I had dinner or they could pack something for me, but nothing.
My blood was beginning to boil, then I thought why waste my time and energy over someone who is not worth it. I got back in the SUV and went to Putta’s place.
Radhika was happy that I joined them. We all had dinner together and wound up a little past 10pm. Putta dropped me home, now everyone was back. I used my keys and went inside, everyone was sitting in the hall.
When I entered everyone including my Ex stared at me like they had seen a ghost. My daughter said “mom what happened to you”? I calmly answered “nothing dear, why”?
My Ex asked “why are you dressed like this”? I calmly said “why am I not looking good”? There was total silence and I saw anger in his eyes, I quietly took my bags and went to my bedroom.
I got fresh in my attached bathroom, when I came out my Ex was standing there. He had opened my bags and was holding a thong panty in his hand. He asked angrily “what is all this Sarita”?
