The magic of new beginnings is surely the most powerful of them all!❤️

" Till when will you return?" Bondita asked him, handing him a few shirts. He took them and adjusted them inside his suitcase.

"I also don't know!.... But it must not take more than a week... That too, for the maximum!" He replied holding her hand softly. He knew very well that she had never liked being away from him even for a couple of days. Bondita always wanted her Payi Babu around, no matter what!... She had always wanted him to be with her and whenever he wasn't, she would not be completely happy!...

"You know, you don't have to worry, right?" He asked and she smiled at him.

"Please try to come back soon, Pati Babu!" She said sadly.

Anirudh cupped her face and caressing her cheeks he said, "I will try to finish my work quickly and then rush back into my Bondita's arms!..."
Saying this he gently kissed her forehead. Gently trailing down kisses on her face, he kissed on her eyes. Bondita had clutched his shirt tightly when he kissed on her cheeks and chin.

He looked at her for a brief moment, her eyes closed in anticipation. He gently pecked her lips for a moment, before he kissed them lovingly. Bondita too kissed him back. As soon as they parted, she ran away, her face painted in a crimson hue.

Anirudh followed her trail and shook his head on her cuteness. He got back to his packing and kept away the suitcase once he was done.

At the dinner table, Maa and Baba instructed him to take care and come back quickly. They all had their food and chatted for long.

After dinner when Anirudh and Bondita sat back on there room, Bondita was reading a novel and Anirudh just sat there working upon his files.

Somnath and Vibhavari came to their room and were standing at the door.

"May we come in, Boudi?" Som asked with a smile.

"Ofcourse Dada!...."she smiled looking at him and kept away her novel.

"Huhh!... As if the  room only belongs to your Boudi!" Anirudh rolled his eyes at Som, playfully.

"Obviously Dada!.... After marriage, the room belongs to the wife!... You only told this to me when I was getting married!..." Som replied laughing and they both too sat on the bed.

"Whatever!" He shrugged his shoulders. "You both tell, how is your work doing?"

"Its amazing Dada! " Vibhavari told.

"But there's something else I got to know, recently!" Som smirked at Anirudh and Bondita.

Bondita looked at him with a confused smile and Som just looked at Vibha, smiling suggestively.

"She told me everything Dada!" Som winked at Anirudh suggestively and his cheeks turned red in response.

He looked at Bondita and held her hand gently trying to control his blush while Bondita was blushing herself!... It was a beautiful moment full of happiness and excitement.

"Just look at out Blushing couple, Vibha!" Som said holding her hand and they both giggled, making Anirudh and Bondita blush even hard.

They all sat there chatting and giggling till late night after which Som and Vibhavari headed to their room and Anirudh and Bondita slept.

"You know you need to come back soon, right?" Said a sad Bondita, handing him his handkerchief and wallet.

Anirudh took them and replied, "And you know you don't have to worry, right?"

"Now, just give me my favourite smile!" He demanded inching closer to her.

Bondita smiled at him and hugged him tightly, before he sat in the car. As he started the car after blowing a flying kiss at her, she waved her hand, bidding him a good bye.

Bondita sighed and went back inside the house. She went straight to kitchen, where Maa and Vibhavari were preparing the dinner.

"Did you bid your farewell to Dada, finally?" Vibha teased her while Maa tried to press a smile on her lips.

"Vibhuu!..." Bondita squeaked making them laugh at her cuteness.

"If she wouldn't have bid him a good bye, he wouldn't have just left, Bahu!" Maa told, giggling.

At the dinner table, when everyone was having their dinner, Som asked Bondita,"Boudi, why aren't you eating?... "

"I dont feel like eating today, Dada!... You all please continue." Bondita replied with a smile.

"Missing Anirudh, aren't you?" Baba teased her and she laughed it off along with everyone.

"Maa!.... Please Stop!" She tried hidin her blush!...

Bondita herself had no idea about what was happening to her all of a sudden. Its been since a couple of daus that she had not taken any of her meals properly, she just didnt feel like!... She had even tried to sleep more, but all of a sudden she had morning sickness!...

If Bondita would have told all this her Pati Babu, he would have never left for Siliguri, so she kept quite.

After the dinner, Bondita and Vibhavari were clearing the table along with Koyeli and chatting.

As Bondita went to the  table and picked up a the bowl of Roshogullas, the sweet aroma made its way to her nose and she kept it down suddenly.

"Urrghh!" She covered her nose using her hand, she suddenly couldn't tolerate the sweet smell. She felt waves of disgust flowing through her chest. She felt like throwing up, just by the aroma of her favourite sweet!... It was obviously weird.

Bondita just picked up the bowl and kept it on the kitchen quickly. She shrugged off the idea thinking that it must be because she felt so full.

After everything was done, the three women headed to their rooms. Bondita entered her room, only to find it weirdly empty.

"Haahhh!" She sighed deeply.

Anirudh had left a void behind and it made her sad all of a sudden. She looked at her wrist watch, which too was a gift by her Pati Babu.

It was late at night, but Anirudh still hadn't telephoned her. She quickly went to the washroom, changing into her night saree, but all of a  sudden, her clothes were no more comfortable. Mainly her blouse, she felt it a bit caging. But still, she was really tired and didn't have much strength to worry about gaining any weight, so she went and lied down on the bed.

She was continuously tossing on her bed, unable to sleep without having her Pati Babu beside. She was obviously habitual of his embrace, of his arms around her while she slept and his hand stroking her hair softly or patting her head. She rolled and lied down on his side of the bed. Picking up his pillow, she hugged it tightly, trying to inhale his sweet fragrance. It still smelled liek him and she just loved it!...

Smiling beautifully, she closed her eyes. Patting her own head, just like he does. Soon, deep slumber took over her and she slept with a smile.

Anirudh had reached Siliguri, late at night. He went to the washroom and quickly changed into his night suit.

"I am running so late!..."he murmured to himself, getting irritated.

He had to call Bondita, but she must have slept and on top of this, if the phone will ring, the entire Haveli will wake up!... Thus, sighing deeply, he sat on the bed and lied down, clutching a pillow close to his chest.

Anirudh too was feeling this void between his arms. He could no more sleep without his wife in his embrace, her face buried deep into her chest and her as around him. He tried feeling her in his embrace and slept thinking about her.

The next morning, Bondita woke up hearing her alarm. She sat up on the bed, trying to acclimatise to the atmosphere. She stretched out her arms and yawned. She indeed looked cute!...

As soon as she got down the bed, she felt weird, really weird. She hadn't felt something like this for the longest time, so her body wasn't able to decipher.

She went inside he washroom to take a bath. Her head felt heavy. She felt tired ever after sleeping for the whole the night, as if her body hadn't taken any rest.
She hadn't eaten anything since the preceding morning and it could be  tje reason, atleast that's what she thought.

After she and Vibhavari were done with the morning Aarti and everyone was having their breakfast, the telephone rang.

Bondita, who was serving Baba, quickly rushed to pick it up.

"Hello!" She said.

"Bondita!"

"Pati babu!.... I.... How are you?....Did you reach safely?..." She asked.

"I am all good, Jaan!...and I reached safely, last night.....How are you? How's everyone?.....And dont tell me, you're crying!...." He said, his voice so much drenched in love.

"No, I ain't!... Everyone's here. Here, talk to Maa." She said, handing the receiver to Maa.

After a couple of minutes when Maa gave her the receiver back, she held it to her ear again.

"Hello?!" She spoke softly, eager to hear from him again.
