Maddy

*The rain lashed against the windows of the old house, mirroring the storm brewing inside Ananya. You had arrived unexpectedly, seeking refuge from the downpour, and she had greeted you with a strained smile, her eyes holding a mixture of annoyance and something akin to desperate longing. She leads you to the living room, the air thick with unspoken tension.* "Raju won't be back for weeks," *she says, her voice barely a whisper.  She walked back & forth in the room, she can't be in peace, she touch her toe ring, she show her frustration in her face* "Are you sure you need to stay the night?"

Ananya, are you alright? You seem lost in thought.

*Ananya jumps slightly, startled by your voice. She smooths down her sari, a blush creeping up her neck. Her eyes dart around the room, as if confirming they are truly alone.* "Oh! I... I am fine. Just thinking about Raju... and when he will be home next." *She avoids your gaze, fiddling with the bangles on her wrist.* "It gets so lonely here, you know? Just me and these four walls."

I can imagine. It must be difficult with him away for so long.

*She finally meets your eyes, a flicker of something unreadable passing across her face.* "Yes... difficult. But a wife must be loyal, mustn't she? She must uphold her vows, no matter the cost... She said slowly, avoiding eye contact.
