The two of them were still in her bedroom, on top of the bed, and Anirudh had hugged Bondita after he teased her. 

She smiled as she felt the warmth from his embrace. 

"So..." he murmured, breaking free from the embrace. 

"So?" she asked softly, a blush on her cheeks. 

Thakumaa had left them all alone, and after that flirting session earlier, it was no surprise that there was only one thing on their minds right now. 

Anirudh placed his hand on her stomach, over her saree. 

"So... I should inspect," he teased. 

Even though she had pinched his arm earlier when he teased her that he had to check for wounds, she was blushing, because his tone even though he was joking, was quite hot. 

She placed her hand over his hand on her stomach, and she said, pushing it down slowly, "Are you only going to inspect?"

Anirudh leaned closer to her as she pushed his hand down beneath her navel, her saree getting bunched up in his hand as it went down. 

She was expecting him to kiss her, but his mouth went straight for her neck, his hand reaching her crotch, feeling her intimate area from over her saree. 

Bondita moaned immediately, but after a few feathery kisses to her neck, he lifted his head and murmured, "It's your last day here Bondita... you should spend it with your family." 

"But Pati Babu..." she said breathlessly, already extremely turned on. 

"We have all night missy," he teased, a glint in his eyes. 

She blushed and she hugged him tightly, trying to settle the hormones that had built inside her. 

Anirudh held her to him and smiled, caressing her hair. Even this was turning her on, and she buried her face in his chest, trying to calm herself down. 

"It seems like someone's turned on," he teased. 

"Stop it Pati Babu, it's because of you," she whined. 

She lifted her face and looked at him with a pout. He looked so handsome, that she wanted to rip his clothes off and have her way with him, but she also wanted their second time to be more special than that. 

She wanted to enjoy every moment with him, and not be in a hurry. However, even the idea of having hurried sex was quite hot to Bondita. Now, she was really contemplating seducing him for a quick session... 

She was interrupted from her thoughts, when he said, "Missy, I'll hold you in my arms all night long, but you don't know when you'll get to meet your family again." 

He bent down and kissed her lips gently. 

Her lips tingled from his touch, and she wanted more, but he pulled away and broke free from her embrace. 

"Come on," he said, standing up and holding his hand out. 

"Why did you touch me?" she demanded, as she took his hand and stood up. "I got excited!" 

"It was a teaser for tonight," he told her with a smile. 

"What's happening tonight?" she asked him innocently. 

Anirudh leaned closer to her ear and he whispered, "I will trap you in my arms all night long." 

"You do that anyways," she teased, "When we cuddle and sleep!" 

He chuckled and he said, "Then how about, I will make love to you all night long." 

She replied, "That sounds better! But what if we fall asleep?"

They had been awake all night, and had such a stressful few days after all. Their bodies were quite exhausted. 

"You might fall asleep, but I'm not sleeping tonight," he teased. 

"So if I fall asleep, will you still..." she murmured, her cheeks turning red, because the idea was so hot. 

Anirudh shook his head slowly at another one of Bondita's fantasies. 

"You want me to..." he started.

"Fuck me..." she told him, looking up at him, making his heart jump with her usage of the word again. "...While I'm sleeping." 

"Bondita," he said, his cheeks red at her wild ideas. 

"I'll wake up of course, but it will be a nice surprise!" she told him, sounding excited. "It's so hot Pati Babu! Do it one day, please, please, please!" 

"Let's go," he just said to her, his cheeks completely red, and he had to practically drag her out of there before she could go into more details about this fantasy of hers. 

It didn't matter how close they were, his wife still kept on surprising him. 

However, Anirudh couldn't deny that these fantasies were intriguing him more and more with each passing moment. 

-- 

Batuk kept on avoiding Bondita's gaze, as they stood outside. The family members were getting ready for Tupur's bidaai. 

Chandrachur was standing to the side, away from Tupur, looking quite disturbed. 

"Thakumaa," Chandrachur said, as she was passing by. 

"Yes Jamai Babu?" Thakumaa asked. 

"Bondita..." Chandrachur said. 

"Oh yes... I'm sorry. I was wrong to even get your hopes up about Bondita, but trust me, Tupur is no less. She will serve you and give you a fulfilling life. She will make you very happy," Thakumaa said, and then smiled, "In fact, Bondita would never be able to keep you happy like Tupur could. Not many can handle a girl like her. Only my Mishti Maye can." 

Chandrachur frowned at this sudden love that Thakumaa had for that Anirudh Roy Choudhary. 

"Argh," he muttered under his breath, and moved to the side. As he was walking though, he felt a firm grip on his shoulder. 

Anirudh Roy Choudhary. 

"I wanted to talk to you," Anirudh said, and Chandrachur frowned again. "I don't know why you wanted to marry my wife Chandrachur, but I'm just here to tell you, that I hope you give Tupur a good life... and... stay away from Bondita." 

He looked at Chandrachur with intensity, and Chandrachur just forced a smile at Anirudh Roy Choudhary. 

No, he was in this for the long game, so he had to be smart about how he played his cards. 

"Barrister Babu, I was only trying to be a noble man, and I played along to Thakumaa's whims, that's all. I thought you weren't a loving husband," Chandrachur said, "Of course, I had no bad intentions, and since I'm married to Tupur, what business will I have with Bondita?" 

Anirudh looked at Chandrachur suspiciously, and it was at this moment, that Bondita arrived. 

"Pati Babu, what are you doing here?" Bondita asked, and glanced at Chandrachur, "Oh... Chandrachur Jamai Babu... I hope you remember your promise about us being family! You will be the brother I never had, and I'm so excited!" 

Anirudh looked at Bondita with surprise, as Chandrachur felt his heart churn with anger. 

Why did this Bondita keep on playing with his heart like that? He was so mad! 

"On Rakhi Purnima, let's meet, and I will surely tie a sacred thread around your wrist to ensure your safety Jamai Babu!" Bondita said, sounding excited. 

Chandrachur felt his breaths get faster with anger. He felt so humiliated by this outspoken girl! 

Bondita placed her head on Anirudh's shoulder and she said, "Pati Babu, you'll bring me to meet him on Rakhi Purnima right?" 

Anirudh smiled at Bondita and said, "If that's what you want, then I'll surely bring you." 

"Enough Bondita! I have to be present for Tupur's bidaai --" he started. 

Bondita's gaze now turned darker, and she said, "One more thing. Keep my sister Tupur happy, otherwise this sister who wishes to protect her brother, can even turn against him and destroy him." 

Chandrachur didn't know whether he should feel more offended over the continuous sister remarks, or about the fact that she so boldly said she would destroy him. 

He just stormed away. As he was walking though, he tripped over a rope on the floor, that Tapur was using to skip with her friends earlier. He fell face first on the ground, feeling his hands get rashes. 

"ARGH!" he bellowed, as Rimjhim rushed over him to make sure he was okay. 

This Bondita was going to be the death of him. 

'I will be back Bondita. Just you wait and watch,' he thought, 'And when I come back, this Chandrachur is going to shake your world upside down... just wait for it...' 

-- 

After Tupur's bidaai, they had tea and snacks at Thakumaa's, before it was finally time for the Roy Choudharys to return home.

Thakumaa was standing with Kaka, and she watched with adoration at Anirudh and Bondita,  while they were laughing together over something at the edge of the room.

"They truly are one of a kind," Thakumaa said to Kaka. 

Kaka glanced at Anirudh and Bondita, relieved that they were both returning with him, and he said, "Yes, they definitely are." 

"You know Zamindar Babu, we never needed to drug them," Kalindi told him, turning to look at him, "They have given everything to each other, from their bodies and souls. Only we doubted them." 

Trilochan didn't know what made Thakumaa think of such a thing, but he had already suffered many heartbreaks over this! It was better that he spare her from it as well! Otherwise, she would live a heartbroken life just like him! 

"If that were true, then I should be getting a waaris soon," Kaka said sadly, almost crying at the impossible thought. 

Thakumaa thought of the contraception pills and sighed. She never prescribed those medications to young girls unless their health required it. It was only after women had a couple of children, that she considered giving them such medications. Not because it was a health risk, but she just didn't agree with the lifestyle choice. 

If she had the choice, she would switch those medications, because it was not Bondita's age to take them. She was young and fertile. Without even having children, how could she already decide that she didn't want them? 

"Maybe after they make her a barrister?" Thakumaa wondered, "That's what Jamai Babu wants to do right, make her a barrister?" 

"Yes, but I really doubt even after that," Kaka said dramatically. 

"There's still time for that too. She's entered her sixteenth year of life, so that will certainly take some more years," Thakumaa said with a heavy sigh. "By her age, Sumati already had her."

"Shubhra Behen had Anirudh by the age of fourteen. She was much younger than Bondita Bahu when she had him," Kaka said with a heavy sigh. "She married Binoy when she was eleven." 

Thakumaa looked at Kaka and she said, "If we got married, then perhaps I would have also at the age of fourteen..." Had a child with you... 

She stopped speaking, because she realized what she was about to say, and a blush took over her features.  

Trilochan looked at her with shock, and he didn't know if he should utter Shiv Shiv Shiv or just blush. 

Kalindi had always been a bold lady. He knew that. Even when he had briefly courted her while she was younger, he remembered how she freely spoke of things. She was such a beautiful young woman with such a bubbly personality back then. She never hesitated, even with him, when they had spent that night together. 

"Ahem... Kalindi Ji, well, I hope... you can keep in touch..." he said to her, averting his gaze. 

Kalindi also avoided his gaze, and she said, "Bondita mentioned she has a phone in her room, so I guess this haveli will also be connected with a telephone. We can definitely..." She was still very nervous, and she could barely complete her sentences. 

"I'll call you... to tell you about the kids. Only to update you," Kaka said, gulping nervously. 

"Yes, of course, and I will also call you to find out about them..." Kalindi said, just as nervously. 

"We should go then," Kaka said. He held on to his cane more tightly and walked away, nearly stumbling on the way. 

After he was a good distance away, Thakumaa breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her features. 

Letting go of the burdens of the past, was really such a freeing feeling. 

-- 

Finally, they were at Tulsipur. 

Once they got home, it was time for dinner. 

Sampoorna had served them all dinner at the dining table, and it felt like ages since the family had dinner together. 

Batuk was sitting there quietly. Both Bondita and Anirudh noticed that there was something off about him. 

"Ah, Anirudh," Binoy said, distracting Anirudh from his thoughts about his brother, "What did you learn by going there and being a maid?"

Of course, he had heard of the stories of Anirudh's adventures as Roopa. The maidservant, Kamala, had come to Tulsipur to work and wasn't able to keep her mouth shut about it! 

After Trilochan returned, he had paid Kamala well, and asked her to return to Thakumaa's haveli to work at Anirudh's request. Anirudh would have done it himself, but he was too heartbroken at the time.  

Anirudh blushed at the mention of Roopa, as Bondita giggled. 

"I love Roopa," Bondita whispered to her Pati Babu, a glint in her eyes. 

Anirudh tried hard not to smile, and he focused on his dinner. 

Somnath rolled his eyes, his gaze fixed on his medical textbook, as he was eating his dinner. He didn't have time to waste! 

Sampoorna smiled, and she said, "The house felt quite empty without all of you." 

Kaka looked at Somnath and said, "Som, put your book away for five minutes and speak with us. It's been very long since we've been here all together like this!" 

Somnath sighed heavily and closed his book shut. 

He looked at Bondita and forced a smile. 

"How does it feel to be back here Boudi?" he asked her. 

"I was here last night!" Bondita chirped up happily. "In my Pati Babu's room! We were there all night!" 

Anirudh turned to look at Bondita with a blush, as Somnath looked at Bondita with a weirded out expression on his face. Binoy just raised his eyebrow. 

Sampoorna knew this of course, and that was why she saw the normal Anirudh back today. However, the way Bondita boldly exclaimed it made her also feel shocked. 

"Bahu," Kaka hissed, "If you say it like that people will take it the wrong way!"

He knew they had done nothing, but everyone would assume they had done something. Even if they were husband and wife, it was not common to explicitly share such details! 

"Wrong way? Which way Kakasasurji?" Bondita asked, "We only did what a husband and wife do in their bedroom at night!"

The whole table, except Batuk, who was still lost in his thoughts, gasped with shock. 

Anirudh placed a hand to his head, and once again, looked at Bondita with both an embarrassed, and awestruck expression. 

It seemed like Bondita's dining table surprises were back with a bang.
