Q. Shriya has been married for eight months now, to a man who is a reputed in his town to be honest and noble. She is an outsider but had quickly settled down and even made a few friends in the process. She had taken a break from work for some time to adjust to her new life. She should've started working again two months ago, but did not get the chance to.
One day, she catches up with one of her friends for lunch in a restaurant and they have a pleasant conversation.

As she is coming back home, Shriya ponders over the things that the conversation revealed to her, and decides that, unbeknownst to her, she is being violated at home.
