Episode 3

Two distinct people of different genders, unbound by any matrimonial tie, were reclined upon a bed in a hotel. The man and woman, wrapped in each other's embrace, lay in the aftermath of committing a grievous sin.

Aditya and Adinda – both meant so much to Archie, yet both betrayed her trust.

Their illicit affair over the past year hadn't left them with any trace of remorse; on the contrary, it was quite the opposite.

Aditya, soon to wed his beloved, Archie, lay with the woman who was to become his sister-in-law. Their entanglement went beyond mere repose; they shared the closeness of a husband and wife.

"What excuse did you give Archie before coming here?" Aditya asked, his hand moving over Adinda's shoulder.

"I didn't give any excuse. She tried to stop me, but I snuck out," Adinda replied.

Adinda grasped Aditya's caressing hand, and without a word, guided it to touch her breast.

Aditya smiled broadly; this boldness was what he liked in Adinda. Her wild nature always left him satisfied, unlike the naïve Archie.

"You really are naughty," Aditya whispered, tightening his grip on Adinda's breast.

"Do you not like it?" Adinda challenged.

Adinda's other hand had found its way under the covers, clutching Aditya's intimate space. This act drew an even wider smile from him.

"I like it very much," Aditya admitted with a shiver of pleasure prompted by Adinda's touch.

Delighted with his response, Adinda swept aside the blanket that had concealed their bare bodies, now exposed to each other's view.

"I'm more tempting and fiery than my sister, aren't I?" Adinda asked, her hand still active below.

"Yes, you are far more captivating," Aditya replied, his voice choked with surging desire.

Adinda's smile widened with satisfaction as she ramped up her movements, eager to savor pleasure with Aditya.

"Let's go again, my future brother-in-law," Adinda whispered enticingly.

"With pleasure," Aditya responded, then pushed Adinda beneath him.

Aditya's gaze held a hungry look as he hovered over the alluring figure of his future sister-in-law, fully aroused by her wanton behavior.

"Ah, brother!" cried out Adinda, yanking at Aditya's hair.

After spending the day from dawn till dusk together, Aditya and Adinda parted ways in the hotel's basement. Heading towards their respective cars, they prepared to head home.

"I'm off, then, brother. We must meet again!" Adinda said sweetly.

"Of course," Aditya replied with tenderness.

After a quick peck on Aditya's cheek, Adinda climbed into her car. She honked her horn as a farewell gesture and then drove away from Aditya.

Exhaling deeply, Aditya felt revitalized after his rendezvous with Adinda.

He considered himself fortunate: he had Adinda, and soon he would have her sister too.

He found himself undoubtedly handsome, capable of captivating both sisters with his seductive charm.

"Mother must be looking for me," he murmured to himself and swiftly drove off.

Unbeknownst to Aditya, someone had been observing him throughout, including the time he spent with Adinda.

That person sighed, said nothing further, and departed from the basement having concluded their business there.

Meanwhile, Aditya, on his way home, removed his shirt, eager to rid himself of any lingering scent from his affair with Adinda.

Swapping it for a black t-shirt, he stopped at a convenience store to purchase drinks and other items to justify his outing to his parents later.

"Hey, isn't that Adit?" someone called out, prompting Aditya to turn and recognize the greeter.

"Oh, Fika," Aditya acknowledged, upon realizing who had addressed him.

Fika was a friend of Adinda's from university.

"Just by yourself, Adit? Where's Archie?" Fika inquired, making idle conversation.

"She's at her place. You don't always tag along with your significant other," Aditya replied and dismissed himself from the conversation.

Bidding the store goodbye after paying, Aditya hurried home, enjoying the empty night roads and reaching his destination in less than thirty minutes.

"Adit, where have you been!" Risa bombarded her son upon his entry.

She had been trying to reach him since noon, only to find his phone constantly busy.

"Just dropping off Archie and then hanging out with friends," Aditya lied.

"You shouldn't always stay out this late, Adit. Remember, you're getting married soon, and you'll have a wife to think about," his father, Anto, reprimanded.

"Instead of these aimless gatherings, better you learn about working in your uncle's company," Anto suggested further.

Sighing, Aditya resented having to defend his lack of eagerness to return home. His parents' persistence irritated him, especially considering his impending nuptials.

"Father, I've said I'll consider work after the wedding," said a slightly annoyed Aditya.

"Adit, you should speak properly," came a stern voice from the staircase.

The family turned to see Kaivan, the brother-in-law, descending.

"You should indeed learn the company business rather than wasting your time," Kaivan advised.

Aditya answered, "Uncle, I'm aware. But the time isn't right yet. I still have time."

"Then speak respectfully, without raising your voice," Kaivan corrected, silencing Aditya with his firm tone.

Even Risa, Kaivan's own sister, was quieted by Kaivan's authoritative demeanor.

Focusing his gaze on his sister and brother-in-law, Kaivan inquired, "How many days until Adit's wedding?"

"Two weeks, Van. Why do you ask?" Risa responded.

"Nothing important. There's work I need to attend to," said Kaivan and left.

For the duration leading up to Aditya's marriage, Kaivan would stay with his sister and brother-in-law before returning to his apartment, taking the opportunity for a long-overdue family reunion. Always engulfed in his work, he rarely had the chance to spend time with his loved ones.

Shifting back to Aditya, the young man promptly left the living room, bound for his bedroom after a short dispute that concluded with his uncle's counsel.

Aditya closed the door roughly, clicked his tongue, and ruffled his hair in frustration. He felt cornered by his parents' pressure to begin work, compounded by his approaching marriage.

Internally, Aditya felt irked because Archie persistently pressed for marriage despite his unreadiness for domestic life.

Aditya was content with his carefree existence, yet due to Archie's insistence and her family's wealth, he found it impossible to resist the lure of potential affluence through matrimony.
