Note : When Anirudh and Bondita left the house their age was 31 and 26 respectively. Now ,as 8 years have passed their age is 39 and 34 respectively.

                           •☆•☆•☆•

The weather was very pleasant in the city of Mysore. Greenery was spread across. The sun was shining brightly. The sky was filled with white and fluffy clouds and painted with yellow and blue color.The chirping of the birds and the gust of winds passing through was making the scene look more serene.

The women carrying the pots ,filled with water on their head and talking among themselves they walked to their house. Men of the village went for their respective work. Small children playing without any stress or fear. Some of the elderly people who were out for their morning walk , were by now sitting in the tea shop to have their tea.

Apart from all this, Anirudh and Bondita , nothing and changed. Except the family they were craving to have around. Over the years their bond with
people evolved. Bondita and Kaveri had
sour and sweet relationship. Arjun ,  Kaveri , Bondita and Anirudh treated eachother as family. They were there for eachother in all their dark times.
Kaveri had two sons. Ravi being the elder one while manav being the smaller one. When Kaveri and Arjun had come to meet Bondita and Anirudh for the first time , Kaveri was pregnant with Manav.
A small family of seven were happy with eachother.

Present.
Aashiyana.

Bondita: Mishti jaldi taiyaar ho, school ke liye late ho rha hai.

Bani,shouting from her room : Aa rhi hoon maa.

Bondita: Pati babu, aap toh thoda responsible baniye. Late ho rha hai hume court ke liye. Jaldi ayiye.

Anirudh, shouting back : Arre aa raha hoon. Shirt toh pehene do.

Bondita, mummering: Kya hoga inn baap beti ka.
Dekh rahe ho Madhav. Manorama sachme mujhe jaana hai ki tumne kya khaa ke mishti ko paida kiya. Pure din  Ek mendak ke tarah uchalti rahegi par jab school jaane ki baari aaye toh der karegi.

Bani,from behind : Maa meri shikayat mat karo , meri Manorama maa se.

Bondita pinching her nose : Aagyi late lateef. Chalo breakfast karo. Usse pehele..

Bani : Good Morning Madhav baba. Good morning Manorama maa.

Bondita: Very Good. Ab chalo breakfast table pe.

Bani : Okay.
She ran and sat on the table.

Bondita was about to move towards the kitchen when someone knocked the door.

Bondita opened and frowned.

Kaveri, standing with her two sons.

Kaveri: Good Morning Bondita.

Bondita: Good Morning Kaveri. Kya hua?

Kaveri : Tumhe Pata toh hai.

Bondita thinking: Lo aa gyi chudail phirse apne bache chodne. Pagal aurat.

Kaveri: Kuch kaha tumne?

Bondita: Haan...nahi toh. Ravi. Manav. Aao na andar.

The boys ran and sat beside Bani. Bani gave a gentle smile to both the boys while Ravi didn't spare a look at her making her frown. Manav gave a smile to Bani to which she smiled back.

Bondita: Kaveri, chai piyogi?

Kaveri : Biscuit ke saath.

Bondita: Arre ghar pe toh biscuits khatam ho gye. So sad.

Kaveri : No worries. Mein chalti hoon. Clinic jaana hai.

Bondita smiled and nodded. But suddenly stood confused when she saw her gawking at something.

Anirudh entered with a frown.

Anirudh: Bondita yeh shirt ka button toot gya. Laga do na.

Bondita turned and her eyes widened seeing him only in a vest, making his muscles visible to everyone.

Bondita half closed the door and said to Anirudh: Koi Aur shirt nhi pehen sakte kya?

Anirudh: Nahi mujhe yahi peheni hai.

Bondita gave a furious look to him. She calmed herself ,turned and said to Kaveri : Tum gyi nhi ab tak? Arjun dada intezaar kar rahe honge na.

Kaveri : karne do.

Anirudh stood near Bondita and greeted Kaveri.

Kaveri: Anirudh ji ...

Bondita: Anirudh dada. Arjun dada aur inki ek hi umar hai na so tumhare liye dada huye na.

Kaveri : Itne handsome ladke ko dada bolun mein? Not Fair.

Bondita : Bohot dino se na pados mein se koi toh radio chalata hai. Unwantedly. Complain karna hoga.
Chalo byee.

Kaveri smiled and greeted back.

Bondita closed the doors and turned to Anirudh who in return was giving a teasing smile. But soon retreated as he saw her giving a death glare.
Giving her a nervous smile, Anirudh turned to leave only to bump with Manav.

Manav giggling: Uncle. All the best.

Anirudh: kyun?

Manav : Apko Bondita Aunty ke gusse se bachan hai na.

Anirudh frowned and hit Manavs forehead lightly.

Anirudh: Jao jaake khana Khao.
He went to his room.

Bondita, to three of them : Suno tum teeno. Khaana khaana ,aur school jaane se pehele mujhse milke jaana. Ek saath rehna aur akele kahin mat jaana.

Bani and Manav nodded while Ravi uttered : Okay Aunty.

Bondita: mein tumhare uncle aur Baba ko dekh ke aati hoon.

She went towards the room to find it empty.

Bondita: Kahan gye?

Anirudh hugged her from back and whispered: Yahan hoon.

Bondita pushed him a little and went to get the sewing kit.

Anirudh, sighing: Gussa ho?

Bondita: Nhi toh.

Anirudh: Toh baat kyun nhi kar rhi.

Bondita: Meri marzi.

Anirudh: Pakka gussa nhi ho na.

Bondita: Nahi.

Anirudh wore the shirt and Bondita came to sew the button.

Anirudh: Chalo theek hai gussa nhi ho. Aaj shaam ko kahin Bahar chale?

Bondita, sarcastically: Kaveri ko le jayiye na. Mujhse kyun puch rhe hai.

Anirudh sighed.

Anirudh: Tum aurton ko samjhna bohot mushkil hai.

Bondita glared him and intentionally pierced the needle on his chest making him jump in pain.

Anirudh: Ouch. Bondita yeh kya tha.

Bondita: Mera gussa.

Anirudh pulled her cheeks and caressing it , he said : Kya Bondita? Tumhe Pata toh hai ki mein sirf tumse pyaar karta hoon.

Bondita didn't reply and bent down to cut the thread with her teeth.

As she moved her head upward her eyes met with his who was looking at him lovingly.

Anirudh smiled at while Bondita showed her tounge and turned to leave when Anirudh held her by her elbow and pulled her with a force that her back hit his chest. He hugged her from behind and kept his chin on her shoulder. Bondita was having a tough time to control her breaths. His breath fell on her neck , making her close her eyes and he whispered : Aaj shaam ko hum Bahar jayenge. Sirf mein aur tum.
Taiyaar rehna. I love you chanchala.

He turned her and pulled her by her waist. Smiling at her, he kissed her forehead and gave a peck on her lips making her blush heavily.

Anirudh: Taiyaar ho jao. Court jaana hai.

Bondita nodded and took a saree and headed towards the washroom. Anirudh smiled to himself and went to the dressing table. Bondita stopped in her tracks. She turned, ran back to Anirudh. Kissing his cheek ,she whispered back : I love you too Pati babu.

And ran back to the washroom.

Anirudh smiled to himself and uttered: Pagol mein.

After sometime.

Anirudh : Bondita chalo jaldi. Kya kar rhi ho?

Bondita came outside adjusting her barrister robes.

Bondita: Chalo.

Anirudh and Bondita came out of the house ,after taking their files.
Both of them sat on the car. Not an expensive one but the one which they could afford easily.

Both of them had joined the high court.
Anirudh, was the senior lawyer of the area while Bondita was junior lawyer. Both of them had their own departments and were the head of the same. They have been working in the Karnataka court since 8 years.

They reached the court. All the people gave them a gentle smile and they did the same.

Both were returning from the court laughing and talking when they saw a huge crowd outside their house.

Confused, Anirudh asked Bondita to go ahead while he would park the car.

As soon as she entered, she was engulfed by hug from Kaveri.

Bondita: Kaveri. Kya hua? Roh kyun rahi ho?

Kaveri : Bani...

Bondita : Kya hua Bani ko? Kya hua mishti ko? Bolo na..

Arjun: Bhabi, Mishti kidnap ho gyi hai.

Bondita stumbled and was about fall when Anirudh came and held her by her shoulders.

Anirudh: Bondita kya hua?

Arjun : Anirudh woh..Bani ka apharan hua hai.

Anirudh was shocked to hear what Arjun said.

Hello,
Sorry for a late update but I have been super busy so Sorry.

Chappals are whole heartedly accepted.
Par sirf chappal.

Hope this chapter was able to reach your expectations.

Precap :

Anirudh and Arjun entered the house devasted. Anirudh was brutally beaten. Blood oozing out of his forehead and bleeding lips.

Bondita ran towards him and held him by his shoulders.

Bondita: Kahan hai meri beti..Pati babu..
Anirudh collapsed in Bondita's arms.
Arjun helped Bondita in picking up Anirudh and made him lie on the bed.

Arjun: Bhabi...

Bondita: Arjun dada... Aap toh boliye. Pati babu ki aisi halat kaise? Aur meri beti?

Arjun closed his eyes and said: Unhone kaha ki Bani unke paas nahi hai. Jab Anirudh jhagadne laga toh unhone uski yeh halat kar di.

Bondita sat beside an unconscious Anirudh. She kept her head on his chest and closed her eyes.

She remembered what Madhav had told her once when Anirudh had married Manorama.

Himmat! Bharosa!

Bondita opened her eyes and got up.

Kaveri came running inside and said : Bondita, mishti ka Pata chal gya hai. Yeh uski kaan ki baaliyan , Krishna mandir ke baahar padi mili.

Bondita : Un logon ne ek pitah ki vivashta dekhi hai. Ab woh ek maa ka gussa dekhenge.

Kaveri: Matlab.

Bondita turned towards the Mandir where she had placed Krishna and Durgaa Murti together.

Bondita: Ek pitah ko jab gussa aata hai toh puri duniya dar jati hai. Par jab ek maa ko gussa aata hai toh puri duniya jaala deti hai.
