Kamala moved gracefully around the kitchen, her red saree draped elegantly over her curvaceous figure. The soft cotton fabric clung to her hips and accentuated the swell of her breasts as she chopped vegetables on the wooden counter. It was a quiet afternoon in their modest home; her husband was away on a work trip, leaving her alone with her in-laws. In the adjacent room, her mother-in-law dozed peacefully on the old charpoy, the rhythmic sound of her breathing the only noise breaking the silence. Kamala wiped a bead of sweat from her forehead, the heat from the stove making her skin glisten under the dim light filtering through the window.

His eyes lingered on the way her saree pallu slipped slightly, revealing the curve of her waist. Lust stirred in him, a forbidden hunger he'd suppressed for too long. Today, with his son gone, he decided to act.
