Having your beloved in your arms under the open dark sky covered with stars twinkling and Moon, shining between them making a beautiful view to our eyes, shoves away all the stress of the day..... 

Anirudh was lying on the dangling swing with Bondita on top of him peacefully with content smiles on their faces, just staring at the beautiful sky from their balcony......

Bon: samay kitna jaldi beet jaata h na pati babu....

Ani: hmmm.... sahi kaha.....

Bon: samay to beet gaya pr kuch badla nahi pati babu.... sab vesa hi h.....

She exhaled a  sharp breath showing her sadness..... he understood what she was talking about, so just rubbed her back to calm her....

Bon: aapko pta h kal se Ishu ko chotha mahina lag jaega..... Kamla kaaki keh rahi thi ki iss samay aurat ka bohot ache se dhyaan rakhna hota h.... uski choti choti baato ka dhyaan rakhna padta h....

Ani: to tum ho na dhyaan rakh ne ke liye....

Bondita looked at him with a sad smile and uttered : samjhe nahi aap pati babu... me hoon to kya hua?? mujhe to in sab ke baare me kuch pta hi nahi.... kyuki meine to na kabhi kisi aurat ka ye samay dekha na hi khudka mehsoos kiya.....

Ani: tum fir se vahi baatein le kr baith gayi.... vo baatein puraani ho chuki h shona..... bhool jao un sabko aur aage bhado...

Bon: koshish karti hoon pati babu.... or aage badh bhi jaati hoon.... pr logo ke taane mujhe bhoolne nahi dete.... ab aaj hi ki baat dekh lijiye.... Kamla kaaki ne baato baato mein hi taunt maar diya.... kaha choti bahu ne do saal me hi khushkhabri suna di or me shaadi ke 13 saal baad bhi sooni kokh le kr baithi hoon..... 

She wiped off her tears ensuring that he doesn't see them.... but this was not new for him.... he obviously cannot shut everyone's mouth.... so he just used to gulp down everything in these two years and society's taunts increased after Ishaani's pregnancy...... It has been 2 years since Som and Ishaani got married, they were leaving a happy life..... Ishaani was now 4 months pregnant and was strictly restricted to do any household chores, Anirudh too gave her leave from work, but being stubborn, she forced him to make her do some work from home, to which he agreed after lot of arguments.....

Veer and Manorama were still not married, not because Veer was still not ready for it, he already told Manorama that now they should get married, but every time something stopped them from letting the family know about their decision, everytime they decided to inform the family that they are ready for the marriage, due to some or the other reason, they couldn't.... and one of the major reason took place a few months back... when they were all set to get married, but suddenly a call letter from Germany and their decision was once again withdrawn by them..... It was letter from Germany to call Veer for teaching the Indian students studying there doctory...... It was indeed a big opportunity for him but he denied at first thinking about their marriage but on Manorama's insitence, he went Germany for 8 months, and returned just 3 days ago..... but they are happily engaged and Veer have  and now they finally decided to talk to the family about the marriage, let's see, will they get succeed this time or....... 🤞🤞🤞

And at last, Anidita, nothing changed betweeen them, everything was same, just their love for each other increased more..... but still society never left them on their own, they always taunted Bondita in the name of a child.... not being loved by her husband.... or not able to satisfy her husband's needs.... or being revolutionists, they forgot their own lives..... and not to forget them calling her as "baanjh".... but now they were least affected by these all.... they are used to all this.... why to get sad when they are there for each other..... 

Mini was growing up beautifully, excelling in all her exams.... she was now 8-year-old girl.... but was growing more maturely than the girls of her age..... she was still the jaan of the family....apple of everyone's eye.... the most pampered girl by Roy Chaudharies....  even more than Bondita......

Bondita was working in the kitchen when suddenly she felt dizzy and held the kitchen counter for support, everything in front of her eyes was going round and round..... but a sigle shout from outside made her came back in her senses..... she gulped down some water and took few deep breathes and taking the coffee mug in her hands, she left for the study...... murmering, "mujhe pati babu se baat karni hogi iss baare me.... He should know this"

She entered and noticed Anirudh sitting on his chair with eyes closed and head leaned back on the headrest.... stress lines were clearly visible on his head..... she slowly stepped forward to him and kept the coffee mug on the table and softly called him..."pati babu?"

He opened his eyes slowly and looked at her and smiled a bit....

Bon: koi pareshaani h??

Ani ; nahi esi koi baat nahi h...

She placed her hand on his and again asked...

Bon: mujhse bhi chupaenge??

Ani: Bondita... vo ...actually... you remember Dr. M.W Hienrich...

Bon (excitedly): of course I do.... god of the world Barristers.... unhe kon nahi jaanta..... 

Ani (smiled): and you know what he means to me...

Bon: of course I know.... bat aaj achanak se aapko vo kese yaad aa gaye???

Anirudh sighed and passed an envelope to her..... she confusingly took it opened the letter inside it..... she opened her mouth widely in shock..... she looked at Anirudh immediately with a wide grin and then back at the letter...... he too smiled seeing her expressions... he knew she will be the happiest to know this..... but he was not happy for some other reason.....

Bondita immediately got up from her chair and went to him and hugged him tightly and kissed his cheeks several times in excitement.....

Bon: I'm proud of you Aunu.... I'm so happy for you.....

Ani: Thank you Mishtii....

Bon (frowningly): par aap khush kyun nahi h?? ye to khushi ki baat h.....

Anirudh let out a deep sigh and hugged her tightly keeping his head on her stomach..... 

Ani: kyunki mujhe tumse door nahi jaana....

Bondita smiled lightly and caressed his hair....

Bon: sirf do hi mahine ki to baat h..... case khatam ho ajega to aap wapas mere paas aa jaenge...

Ani: I know.... pr pta nahi mera man nahi maan raha....

Bondita had thought to inform about her condition to him that she was not feeling well from last two three days.... 

Bon: mujhse door jaane ka man karta h kya apka kabhi.... par iss baar aap apna sapna poora kijiye.... hume to zindagi bhar saath rehna h... par ye aapka saalo se dekha hua sapna h.... or aaj jab aapko ise poora karne ka mauka mila h to ise aap ese hi nahi jaane de sakte.... wahan London me humaari Hindustaani logon ki madad karne ke liye Barrister Hienrich ko aapki zaroorat h... to jaiye.... or unki madad kijiye... unka saath dijiye.... aage se offer mila h Barrister Anirudh Roy Chaudhary ko... one of the best barristers of India.... jab Barrister world ke lord ke saath kaam karenge to aapke liye bhi or aapse jude logon ke liye bhi garv ki baat hogi.... to aap jaiye aur meri chinta mat kijiye....

He looked up at his understanding wife and sighed realizing that indeed this was his biggest dream after making Bondita a well-settled Barrister....

Ani: Ohk... as you wish.... acha main dekh raha hoon tumhaare chehre ka rang uda hua h aaj kal.... koi pareshaani h??

Bon (confidentally lieing): nahi nahi kuch nahi.... bas thodi thakaan rehti h na .... 

Bondita's Pov:

nahi pati babu ko ye baat batana theek nahi h abhi.... sirf do hi mahine ki to baat h.... fir to wapas aa hi jaenge.... or abhi to me khud bhi confirm nahi hoon..... haan ye hi sahi rahega.... mein pati babu ke sapno ke beech nahi aa sakti... jaanti hoon ki pati babu ka sabse bada sapna h ye Dr. M.W Hienrich ke saath kaam karna.... or ab jab unhe mauka mil raha h to mein unke raaste me nahi aa sakti.... zaroori to nahi ki jo mein soch rahi hoon vo hi sach ho.... kuch ulta seedha khaane ki wajah se bhi to ho sakta h..... par inhe bataya to ye pakka nahi jaenge..... mujhe hi handle karna hoga ye sab.... Hey Dugga maa saath dena apni Bondita ka..... 

Her trance was broken by him...

Ani (shaking her): kya hua?? kaha khoi ho?? kuch batana chahti ho??

Bon: nahi nahi kuch nahi..... aap ye lijiye... apni coffee pijiye....  baato baato mein thandi ho gayi....

She chuckled and handed over the coffee mug to him.....

Kaka: pr bahu ek baar socho to sahi beta.... hum kabse iss din ka intezaar kar rahe the..... or aaj jab Veer or Manorama dono shaadi ke liye taiyaar h to tum jaa rahe ho... ese shaadi me rukaawat nahi hogi kya???

Anirudh and Bondita stood there amidst of all the family members, being surprised listening that finally they are ready to get married....

Ani: kya??? Veer or Manorama ki shaadi??

Bin: haan Anirudh... aaj hi Veer ne kaha ki ab poori tarah se taiyaar h shaadi ke liye... par ab tum...

Ani: nahi baba... pr var ka to koi chance hi nahi h... ab mein kese jaa skata hoon.... mein nahi jaa raha London... bhagwaan ne chaha to fir ye moka milega... pr shaadi nahi rukni chahiye.....

"uski zaroorat nahi h Anirudh!!!" said Veer, who enetered the hall and listened everything.... everyone gazed at him...

Bon: nahi Veer... shayad pati babu theek keh rahe h... tumhaari shaadi zyaada zaroori...

Veer (interupted): nahi h... nahi h zyada zaroori.... jab 2 saal ruk gaye to kya 2 mahine nahi ruk sakte.... or vese bhi esa to h nahi ki aaj mene keh diya or kal shaadi ho jaegi.... shaadi ke liye taiyaariyan karni padti h... he na kaka??

Ksj: haa baat to theek h... abhi to hu pandit jii se baat bhi karenge... agar tumhaara jaana zaroori h to hum 2 mahine baad ki tareekh rakhwa sakte h.... tab tak shaadi ki taiyaariyan bhi ache se ho jaengi..... 

Veer: lo.... everything sorted out.... 

He went to Anirudh and held him by his shoulders....

Veer: sirf tumhaare liye hi nahi... poori family ke liye proud moment h ye Anirudh.... abroad jaa kr, Indian case ladna vo bhi lord of Barristers ke under.... it's not a small thing to let it go so easily....

Bin: I agree with Veer....

Ani: pr baba shaadi bhi to zaroori h na....

Veer: pr kaka ne kaha na ki shaadi ki taiyaariyon me time lagega.... Tab tak to tum aa jaoge...

Bondita intervened in between after a long silence abd listening to all of them with a cool mind...

Bon: pati babu mujhe bhi in sabki baatein theeklag rahi h... hum yaha taiyaariyan karenge shaadi ki or vaha aap apne case poori lagan or mehnat se ladna or jeet kar aana.... Jab aap aenge to Veer or Manorama didi ki shaadi or aapki jeet ka jashn hum saath manaenge.... Shottii!!!

She said smilingly and he finally agreed sensing that they are right at their places.... He should go and fulfill his dream and make the family proud.....

Later, at the night... Bondita was roaming in the whole room collecting all his necessary things that he will need their, his winter coats especially, and was continuosely giving him lots of instructions and poor guy, he was just sitting on the bad listening to her instructions obediently as he don't have any other option left except this....

Bon (putting th umbrella in his bag): pati babu aapko na iski bhi zaroorat padegi wahan... aap ye bhi rakh lijiye...

He got from the bed finally and back hugged her keeping his chin on her shoulders

Ani: kitna bolti ho tum..... kabse sun raha hoon... pati babu ye rakh lijiye... iski bhi zaroorat padegi... ye bhi rakh lijiye... kaam aega.... Thak gaya ab mein.....

He bit her earlobe making her giggle and huskily said, "zaroorat to tumhaari bhi padegi... tumhe bhi rakh loon??"

She turned in his arms and kept her hands on his chest.... She rubbed her nose with him cutely and answered smirkingly

Bon: zyada cheesy banne ki zaroorat nahi h... kaam karne dijiye mujhe... vrna mein zaroor kuch bhool jaungi....

She pushed him away and again started doing her work, that is packing his stuff, as he has to leave early in the morning itself....

Bon: aur haan.... Zyada ban than ke ghoomne ki zaroorat nahi h... dekha h mene kese vo firangi ladkiyan taadti h aapko.... Jitna simple ho sake utna simple rehna... or aapka fus fus lagaake mat ghoomna.... Or baalo ko dhang se banana.... Bikher lr rakhte h to cute lagte h.... ladkiyaan zabradasti peeche pad jaengi.... Or .....mmmm

Before she could complete her sentence, she was fallen on the bed with her arms locked above her head and her lips sealed...... She was quite shocked with this sudden actions but soon her vision went blur as her eyes wailed up realising that she won't be able to feel this for two longs months because he won't be here with her.... She opened her eyes slowly when she felt her cheeks getting wet.... And that's when she realised that not only she, even he was shedding tears for going away from his familly, his love, his daughter. His home... and has to stay alone.... Though it's not new fir him, he had spent his 10 years o fchildhood away from his family to complete his barristery.... But at that time, he was not much attached to these things.... But now, he has become habitual of all of them.... And living without the family, with whom you are attached like a magnet, is obviousely not so easy...

She withdrew her lips back from his grip and cupped his face....

Bon: aap ro kyun rahe h??

Ani: pta nahi... bas man nahi kar raha tum sab se door jaaneka.... Esa lag raha h jesa kuch choot jaega agar chala gaya to....

Bon (rubbeing off his tears): aap bekaar hi chinta kar rahe h.... khushi khushi jaiye or khushkhabri le kr aaiye.... Me aapka intezaar karungi.... Or hum telephone par baatein karenge na..... roz raat ko... shottiii....

Ani: pr jab tak ship me rahunga tab tak to baat nahi kar paunga na.... tumhaari awaaz bhi nahi sun paunga.... Angel ki pyaari pyaari baatein nahi sun paunga.... Kaka baba ki daant nahi sun paunga.... Or humaari gang ke saath masti nahi kar paunga....

Bon: aap hi ne kaha tha na mujhse ki kuch paane ke liye kuch khona padta h... London me jab mujhe chod kar aa rahe the tab aapne mujhse kaha tha ki mujhe mera lakshya paane ke liye 5 saal ke liye ap na rishta khona hoga... aapse .... Poora parivaar se... for aapke case mein to sirf do mahine ki baat h....

She held her palm in front of his face and aid, "waada kijiye ki chahe jo ho jaaye... aap ye case poora karke hi lautenge..."

He sighed sharply and placed his hand on hers and smilingly said, "waada raha... kyunki ab ye mujhe apne liye nahi tumhaare liye karna h.... "

They both got up and sat straight on the bed and looked deeply in each other's eyes.... And suddenly engulfed each other with an unknown emotion.... He caressed her hair lovingly and she made some patterns on his chest above his t-shirt...

Ani: acha suno...

Bon: hmm

Ani (teasingly):  tum jealous hoti ho kya un firangi ladkiyon se???

She popped her head up and grabbed his collar and pulled him towards her face...

Bon (whispered): kabhi nahi..... because I know you are mine.... and you don't give single heed to those bloody girls.....

Ani (smirked): ahhan!!! my wild tigress is waking up.... to fir mujhe simple rehne ko kyun bol rahi ho??

Bon: because I don't like them oogling at you..... (she moved her fingers in his hair in order to make a perfect hairstyle) nazar lag gayi to???

Anirudh chuckled seeing her possessive side which is not actually possessive for her.....

Bon: Aunu..... can I ask you a favor??

She looked at him with those tear-filled eyes.... He kissed her forehead and nodded....

Bon: kal subah mere uthne se pehle chale jaana....

He looked at her quite shocked.... and his grip over her loosened.....

Ani: ye kya keh rahi ho?? jaane se pehle mujhse milna nahi chahogi??

Bon: nahi.... mere aankhon ke saamne aapko jaate nahi dekh paungi... please... 

Ani (understanding her): theek h.... pr meri ek shart h....

Bon: kesi shart??

Ani: jab me lautunga to sabse pehle mera swaagat karne tum darwaaze par aaogi.... bolo manzoor h??

Bon (laughed): ye bhi koi poochne ki baat h.... me hi aaungi na... or kon aaega...

Ani: I'm serious Mishti.....

Bon: I'm also serious Aunu.... me aapko darwaaze pr hi milungi... shottiii.....

Ani: I love you....

Bon: I love you too... and I'll miss you...

Ani: I too miss you my baby... (she looked at her parted lips and traced them with his thumb seductively) and you too rosy!!!

Bon : ROSY??? is that what you call my lips.... (she said blushingly)

Ani: Obviously!!! aren't they soft and pink like a rose.... or maybe more beautiful than that!!!

He smirked at her before capturing them once again, pouring all his love to pre compensate that feeling for the upcoming two hard months....

(Play the song, please!!! or else you are going to read just an emotionless text ahead 😅😅)

Anirudh was all ready to leave for London at 5 in the morning as he has to catch the ship and according to the promise he made to her last night... he won't wake her up and will leave without her knowledge.... but he was adamant to look at her for the last time before he goes.....

All were present in the hall to bid him a goodbye... but to their surprise, she was not here...

Bin: Bondita kaha h??

Ani: vo nahi aaegi baba... usne kal hi  mujhse keh diya tha ki vo nahi dekhegi mujhe jaate hue... mushkil ho jaega uske liye.... (he chuckled sadly)

They too understand her and he took kaka and Binoy's blessings and hugged his gang.... He looked around but couldn't find the other face he wanted look.... which he was going to miss like hell..... Just then he spotted the teddy's leg peeping behind the pillar.... he chuckled seeing that she was there but was trying to hide from him..... he tip-toed to the direction...... and sneaked at her from behind... she was all unaware about his presence.... and to make her realise, he jumped in front of her and shouted "bhooowwww" scaring her ... she too jumped and shrieked being scared...." ahhhhh" He laughed while she glared at him from head to toe..... she started hitting him with her teddy and her little fist and ranted a singly line again and again, "you bad dadda.... you scared me!!" while he was laughing and was using his hands to shield himself from her cute attacks..... out of a sudden she stopped hitting him and hugged him tightly and cried..... making him confuse..."hey Angel!! what happened bachcha??" 

Mini: nothing!!! I'll miss you!!!

He knelt down in front of her and taking her little hands in his, he kissed them and smiled at her and said, "Dadda bhi apni Angel ko bohot miss karenge!! but agar aap ro gi to dadda ja paenge??"

She nodded in denial cutely and wiped off her cheeks with her fist...."I'm sorry... I just got emotional..."

He hugged her tightly and secretly wiped off his own tears which were indeed not visible to her but clearly seen by the family...."mein bohot jaldi wapas aa jaunga.... apna... mumma ka.... or poore parivaar ka dhyaan rakhna..... or dadda se telephone pr roz baat karna..... ok??"

She again just bobbed her head in agreement... but didn't said anything.... 

He patted her head lovingly and holding her little finger in his hand. he moved towards the family..... and handed over her to the family and picked up his bag to leave..... but his heart yearned to look at his Mishtii one last time..... he stopped at the threshold and dropped his bag down...... 

Ksj: kya ho gaya beta?? bahar vaahan chalak gaadi le kr khada h... jaa....

He didn't reply to him instead, he turned back and looked at his room on the first floor..... he sighed deeply and ran to climb the stairs..... and the family couldn't help but chuckle knowing where he was going..... running to have a look on his love.... his life... 

He entered the room and looked at her lying on the bed turning to the other side facing her back to him..... He slowly took his steps towards her whispering, "Mishtiii..." well known to the fact that she is not listening to him...

He went to her side and sat down on the floor holding her hand lightly making sure that this won't wake her up from the deep sleep.....

Ani: I know mene promise kiya tha ki jaane se phle tum mijhse nahi milgi... pr me to mil sakta hu na.... Mein jaa raha hoon shona.... jald hi waapas lautunga.... I promise.... tumhaare bina zyada din reh nahi paunga  na.... tum mujhe zyada miss nahi karna..... pta h na tumhaari tabiyat jaldi kharaab ho jaati h.... or apna dhyaan rakhna... me pooch lunga ghar waalo se ki tum apni health ko le kr koi laaparwaahi to nahi kar rhi.... tumhe pta h mera man ab bhi keh raha h ki ruk jaa Anirudh... mat jaa.... ajeeb se hal chal ho rahi h dil me..... becheni ho rahi h..... pr tumse waada jo kiya h to jaana to padega.....

He stood up still holding her hand... he bent down to her face and kissed her forehead and then her lips.... and whispered, "I love you.... and I'll miss you meri jaan" 

He stood up straight and looking continuously at her face, he took his steps back slowly and in no time he distanced himself much that his grip over her hand loosened and at last, their hands parted brushing their fingers...... He immediately turned back and rushed out of the room wiping off his tears..... 

As soon as he left the room, a drop of tear fell down from her eyes and she got up from the bad...... only to look that he has left..... she removed the quilt from her body and stepped down from the bad and rushed out...... but didn't go down, she looked at his back standing from their floor's railing..... tears were rolling down her cheeks continuously and in no time his figure disappeared from her sight and she fell down on her knees and whispered, "I love you too... and I'll too miss you my Aunu... I'll wait for you!! Come back soon"

Suddenly she got up and rushed to her room and directly went to the bathroom to throw out once again for the umpteenth time in these four days......
