CHAPTER 4

communication! she thought of giving it a shot. The basic step which they skipped came into picture. she thought about explaining everything to her man.

As he stepped inside their room, Ratna swept off her tears, closed her journal, turned her head facing the painting on the wall. "we need to talk" her bold voice came out. she paused there for few minutes expecting a reply from him.

surprised by the loud voice , he stood there still with his head titled facing her. wondering if the sound was really from her. Now she turned around fully, facing him. " we need to talk" ,she repeated.

He neither shook his head nor answered, rather stood still looking at her face. With no prior preparations she just started, expecting that her feelings will guide her to Express what she wants to explain to him and that workout.

"This is not ,how you treat me. I was married to you to share you life and not for being a slave to your sexual needs and pleasure.." she delivered her first few words stronger and bolder. He didn't expect this, listening to his he raised his eyebrows. He then began talking " how should.." .

"I am not done yet". she interrupted him. Yet another surprise to him. He stood back and started listening to her while still his mind was filled with all wild thoughts.

"This my my body and I own it, to touch me ,you need to ask for my concern. Just because you tied the nuptial thread doesn't mean that you own me and take me for granted." she spoke this looking at him through the mirror.

once again he tired to proceed. " Have some patience to listen to others when they are talking " she stopped him abruptly.

Again he took a step back and continued listening to her.

"Be a man , behave like a man. You cant take anything for granted, especially not my body. Earn it. And remember, you might feel the pleasure now, but in the course of time this will feel like yet another household chore for me. Having sex will not plant love in my heart, while sex without my concern will definitely give me the reason to develop hatred on you. The base for the relationship can't be built on sexual pleasure. " she said and left the place.

He was still there , not knowing how to react. So, went to take a shower. Great realization sometimes comes when you are completely alone and relaxed. The relaxing shower was also giving that realization to vasanth.
