Every time I feel troubled, I just think of your love to ease my soul. That is the power of your love. ❤️

Time passed quickly with their daughter, Rudhi was almost seven months old and she had started to sit up straight and even try to crawl on the bed.

Everyone in the house had to just more careful with their angel. She had starting to grab thing tightly in her little hands and threw them away, too.

Binoy's specs were the first one to face this. He had now stopped removing his specs even for a second around Rudhi, now.
Other than this, everyone's hair in the house were not given any mercy, either. The ladies could tie their hair, but her father and uncles had to bear her little fingers, pulling their tresses and she laughing loudly.

It was one day, when Anirudh was getting ready for office and Rudhi sat on the bed, playing peacefully with her rattle. She looked up at her Baba, who was combing his hair and out of nowhere, threw her rattle, right at him.

It hit his shoulder, before falling down and he just turned around, rubbing the area.

"What happened, Mishti?" He asked, rubbing his arm and walking to her.
"Why did you throw that?"

Rudhi just continued stare at him and laughed out loud. She enjoyed getting his attention as she threw the rattle at him.  She looked down at the bed full of her toys and picked up a little ball, throwing at Anirudh's face.

He rubbed his nose painfully and picked her up in his arms.

"Ms. Rudhaanshi Roy Chowdhary! You're getting naughtier day by day. It's not good to throw things like this, and that too on your Baba!" He slapped her cheek softly and she giggled instead.

"Now you're shameless, too?! Just like your Maa!" He said and laughed, bending down to pick the ball and the rattle up, Rudhi still in his arms.

He had dressed for the court and Bondita was just in he kitchen, preparing their lunch. Anirudh just quickly changed Rudhi's nappy and took her downstairs.

He made her sit  down on the mat where Kaka and Baba were reading their Bengali and English newspapers, respectively. He stood up, not before kissing her chubby cheek.

"My little Roshogulla!" He murmured, wanting to kiss her little cheek harder but he feared his Kaka's wrath.

Once he had kissed Rudhi a bit harder and her cheek got red due to his slightly grown beard. Just this, and Kaka had shouted at him for atleast an hour!

He just stood up, chuckling and went to the breakfast table. He smiled gently and sat on hsi chair. As Bondita came to serve him, he held her hand instantly.

"Pati Babu, behave!" She whispered, glaring at him.

"Never!" He replied, not wanting to leave her hand until Maa cleared her throat at them and he left her.

"You're a father now, Anirudh. Start behaving!" She told while Vibhavari and Bondita just giggled along with Som and Batuk.

"Done, all of you?" He glared at each one of them, making them laugh louder. Anirudh just shook his head and started eating.

As Bondita walked to her room at night, to change into a lighter saree, Anirudh followed her. Rudhi was still playing with Som, Batuk and Vibhavari.

He quickly locked the door behind him and walked to her. Bondita just looked up at him for a moment, before he hugged her tightly from behind. He slid his hands beneath her pallu and touched her waist sensually.

Bondita couldn't help but shiver under his touch. His fragrance was intoxicating her. He looked at her reflection as she looked back at his, sliding her hands onto his and entwining their fingers together.

Anirudh smiled at her, love dripping through his eyes. Bondita blushed looking down, just by his gaze. He smiled gently and dug his face into her neck, still caressing the bare skin of her waist.

"Pati Babu!" She whispered his name, which came out more like a moan, while he just hummed a yes against her skin.

He started placing wet kisses on her neck, making her clutch onto his hands tighter. Bondita turned around, making him look up at her eyes. His eyes were full of love and desire, just for her. The way he was looking at her, made her feel like the most beautiful girl in the world.

Bondita rose on her toes and hugged him tightly, resting her head on his shoulder as she breathed against his nape. Anirudh held her waist tightly, preventing her from falling down as she kissed him on the neck.
Their breaths just became heavier with each passing moment.

Anirudh pulled back for a second. He looked at her eyes, which showed equal desire and passion as his and crashed his lips into hers. He kissed her passionately, making her go out of breath as she clutched onto his hair tightly.

This little moment, full of passion, was making their hearts flutter happily. They kissed for the longest possible before parting and breathing heavily in each other's embrace.

"Bondita!..." Anirudh whispered, just feeling her in his embrace.

"Pati Babu..." She too murmured, feeling him in her heart, forever.

He parted and cupped her face in his hands, lovingly.

"I know Bondita, being a mother wasn't any easier for you. It's always tough. But for you, it was even more. You had to handle both home and court together. You still have to. You have to keep all promises towards all your responsibilities. Your barristery isn't any different from your own child for you." Said and Bondita was just listening to him. She was surprised about his sudden confrontation. But she knew her Pati Babu, he noticed things for a long time and only then said something.

"I know, you love your work as much as you love Rudhi. It might be different kind of love, but the intesity lies the same." He said, his eyes showing deep love and respect for his wife.

"Pati Babu! It was challenging, but not difficult. It would have been difficult, if I didn't have you! If I was some random man's wife, he might have never supported me like this. I just give it all to you! You're my strength and you're weakness. You're everything, to me, Pati Babu!.... Everything!" She said, the most lovely smile on her lips.

"Thankyou! Thankyou for being You, Pati Babu!" She siad and hugged him tightly. He too hugged her back, kissing her head lovingly as his fingers brushed her open hair softly.

"Shh!... Only I'll speak today!" He hushed and stroked her cheek with his fingers.
"You're really the best, Bondita. The way you handle everything is just perfect! I know you were really tensed during the initial months, but now, now you have proved that you're always the best, Jaan!" He held her hands gently and played with her fingers.

"I remember how you used to cry earlier, when Mishti would cry inconsolably. When you couldn't help her in any way, my little Bondita would cry like another little baby!" He told, remembering her challenges.

"I still feel sad about the day, you had a really important case and you couldn't sleep the previous night. You didn't even complain a bit, Jaan! I just don't know how you manage to do it, but you always do. You're the best, the best woman I've ever seen!" He said and kissed her hands softly.

Bondita just looked at him with love and felt overwhelmed by hia love.

"But you were there, Pati Babu!" She spoke, finally.
"You were always there, to support me, to help me and to love me! You were always there by my side, in every moment. Even if you couldn't help or couldn't solve my problems, you were always there to support me with whatever you could!" She said, clutching onto his hands.

"I love you, Pati Babu! You're really the best husband, I could have ever gotten! You're the dream, any girl would wish for!" She told and hugged him tightly, wrapping her arms around his waist. Her cheek pressed onto his chest, as he stroked her hair lovingly.

The moment was full of respect and  love for each other. Anirudh and Bondita have always kept admiring each other, at every point of life. They were each other's inspiration in every sense.

He looked down at her, as his eyes met with hers. Anirudh's heart skipped a beat as he looked at her eyes and saw nothing but himself. He could see himself in her eyes, he could see himself in her. Bondita wasn't anyone else, she was Anirudh, just the other him.

Bondita, too could see herself in her Pati Babu's eyes, just another version of her. Anirudh, for her, was just another and a better version of herself. He wasn't any different from her.

As they kept looking into their eyes for a long time, their trance was broken by a knock on the door. Anirudh went and opened the door to find Koyeli with sleeping Rudhi. He took his baby into his arms and locked the door, wishing Koyeli a good night.

Anirudh softly placed Rudhi in her cot and kissed her forehead lovingly. Till then, Bondita had removed all her jewellery and walked to the cot.

"Is she asleep?" She asked as Anirudh nodded, still looking at his princess.

"I sometimes just can't believe that she is our baby! I mean, yours and mine, Bondita!" He said, wrapping his arm around her shoulders and they continued to admire their baby.

That's all for this part. Hope you all like it.
