"Shiv Shiv Shiv," was Kaka's only response to Bondita's naïve questions. 

It was all Anirudh's fault! He knew that Anirudh had given her sex education, but he had given it to her in a way that Bahu found boring, and on top of that, he made her think that it was okay to be completely open about such topics! 

He didn't even think his Bahu understood the double meaning behind things that she was saying, but the rest of the table understood, and that was enough for Kaka to try and stop her.

Just because Anirudh didn't give her the proper education, it didn't mean that she should be allowed to say whatever she wanted! 

"Bahu, don't say such things," he just said to her. 

Bondita frowned and she asked, "But Kakasasurji, why?" 

"Whatever a husband and wife does in their bedroom, should stay in there," Kaka told her, sounding completely afraid to say a word more. 

Anirudh lifted his hand from his face, and gently placed his hand on Bondita's knee. 

"Bondita," he whispered, his face red, "Eat your food otherwise --" there are good chances that you will expose what we did last night. 

It wasn't that he cared, aside from it being embarrassing. The real problem was that if Kaka knew they were sexually active, he would think that they would have children soon, and Anirudh was adamant that this wouldn't happen for a long time! He didn't want Kaka interfering in these matters all over again. 

It was well within Kaka's capacity to do so, and he had to avoid any problems! After all, it was also well within his wife's capacity to feel a sudden surge of maternal love for her non-existent children again and fall under Kaka's influence about this. 

Bondita listened to Anirudh over everyone else, but he couldn't avoid the truth that she seriously didn't see the problem with having children, while he saw a whole encyclopedia of issues with it! It was only out of respect for him that she agreed to take contraception pills, and that was very clear. 

Before he could finish his sentence though, Bondita already piped up, "Even if they're sleeping Kakasasurji? Should that stay in the bedroom too? What if my Pati Babu and I slept all night? Can we not discuss that?"

Anirudh squeezed her thigh and coughed loudly, trying hard to distract her, but she seemed firm. 

"Bahu, I'm not talking about that!" Kaka insisted, "Do you really not know Bahu?" 

Then Kaka glared at Anirudh, and Anirudh just gulped. 

"You haven't taught her anything!" he cried. "How does she not understand?" 

Anirudh gulped again. His Bondita knew. She knew everything. Even more than Kaka's imagination. In fact, her own imagination regarding this was probably the size of this Universe! But how could Anirudh tell Kaka that?

He just forced a smile and said, "Kaka, let's just eat..." 

Bondita said defensively, "My Pati Babu has taught me everything Kakasasurji!" She didn't like it when anyone pointed fingers at her Pati Babu! 

Anirudh's face turned red again. 

Kaka just shook his head slowly. She didn't even understand things, so of course she would think that Anirudh taught her everything! 

"Bondita..." Anirudh murmured, "Please." 

"What Pati Babu?" Bondita snapped, turning around to look at him with a frown, "Did I say anything wrong?" 

"No Bondita, but if you bring this up here, then things may not go so well..." he stated. 

Bondita turned to look from Kakasasurji, who now had his hand on his face with grief, to Somnath Dada, who looked horrified and was back to reading his medical textbook, to Binoy who looked rather amused, and Sampoorna, who just had an extremely shocked expression. 

Batuk was the only one eating his food. 

Then Bondita grinned, making Anirudh's heart jump with alarm. 

Uh-oh... Bondita's grin was not a good sign. 

"Oh!" she said, giggling, "Kakasasurji, I understand." 

"Do you?" Kakasasurji asked, not sure if she understood the correct thing. 

"Yes! But you will be upset with me and bring gangajaal if I say it Kakasasurji, so I won't say it this time," she told him with a grin. "Not because it's the wrong thing to say, but because I don't want everyone to get wet here!" 

Then Bondita leaned towards Anirudh and whispered flirtatiously, "But I'm already wet..." 

Anirudh turned to look at Bondita with his eyes wide, and he reached to clasp her hand tightly. These seductive messages to him were strangely turning him on, as well as making his heart beat with anxiety over what else she could say.  

"Shiv Shiv Shiv..." Kaka muttered to himself, not sure if he ought to be relieved or horrified, "She really understands the double meaning behind what she said earlier." 

"Bondita don't say what you said to me any louder..." he warned softly to her, gulping and rubbing her hand gently. 

"Don't worry Pati Babu, I won't announce it to everyone... I'm making a special announcement to you," she whispered back, squeezing his hand gently. 

He smiled at her, and playfully played with her hand, making her blush. 

"If you keep whispering things like this to me, you'll make me hard in front of everyone," he teased under his breath. 

She blushed harder and looked at him with excitement. 

"What are you muttering about?" Kaka asked, sounding disturbed by some private talk they were having -- were they badmouthing him?

"Oh --" Bondita started -- and before she could finish what she was going to say, Anirudh had grabbed a luchia and stuffed it with torkori from his own plate, before shoving it in Bondita's mouth. 

While Bondita said that she wouldn't announce it to everyone, she was very capable of announcing even a slight indication of their sexual relationship, and now that they were back in Tulsipur, he didn't want Kaka to get a whiff of it. 

Bondita turned to glare at Anirudh as she chewed on the food that he put in her mouth. 

Anirudh smiled. Her wide, slightly angry eyes were so cute. 

"28 times Bondita! That's how much you have to chew!" Anirudh warned loudly. "Right Som?"

Somnath looked up from his medical textbook and grunted, "32." Then he went back to his medical textbook, shaking his head at the disturbance. 

"Right. 32 times Bondita," he told her with a smile. 

Bondita chewed her food, furrowing her brows at him. 

"If you finish your food fast, we can go to bed quickly," he told her, almost like a bribe. 

Bondita swallowed her food, glaring at him. 

"Ah... you want to go to bed quickly right? You must be tired. It was a long day," he told her. 

She just continued to glare at him. 

Kaka watched Anirudh suspiciously as he bribed Bondita. 

"Kaka, she also has to put on her medication, so we should go to our room soon," Anirudh said to Kaka, noticing his gaze on them, "And I want her to rest since her leg is still not well... so if we're in our room for longer than usual, it's because of her leg... she has to rest... that's why." 

Bondita continued to furrow her brows at him. He said that she had to rest twice in the same sentence. Why was he emphasizing that so much? Was he serious about her resting? 

No way! He didn't change his mind about tonight, did he?

Anirudh, noticing her expression, smiled. She was usually very sharp, but when it came to him, he supposed he had scared her enough that she was always cautious about when to accept his double meaning talks as legitimate. 

He leaned closer to her and whispered so only she could hear, "Missy, the faster you finish your food, the faster I can have you all to myself. When we go to our room tonight, I'm not letting you leave from there for days." 

This seemed to do the trick, and her eyes lit up immediately. 

Bondita reached for her food and started to eat quickly and quietly. 

Anirudh breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Kaka. 

Bondita smiled to herself as she ate her food. 

It felt like the old days again, with her asking many different questions to make the Roy Choudharys lose their wits! She loved them very much, but it was also quite fun to see them unable to defend their regressive thoughts!  

If only that made them think a little about those thoughts... 

-- 

After dinner, Bondita approached Batuk as he was heading towards his room. 

"Batuk, talk to me," Bondita said softly, "I know that something happened. Tell me. I might be able to help." 

Batuk looked at Bondita and forced a smile. 

How could she help? It was over now. 

"Boudi, I just want some time alone," he told her. 

Bondita furrowed her eyebrows and said, "You look like you need a friend now! Not alone time!" 

Batuk shook his head and said, "No Boudi, I just need some time to gather my thoughts. I'll be okay. I promise." 

Bondita sighed, knowing that personal space was also important. 

"Okay Batuk, but if by tomorrow you aren't okay, then I'm not leaving you alone for a second!" she informed him. 

Batuk genuinely smiled, already feeling better just by her determination and love for him. 

"Boudi, can I ask you something?" he asked. 

"Of course," Bondita said. 

"I have seen yours and Dada's love... especially today in front of everyone, but... it's different... I can't say I've seen that kind of love anywhere else," he confessed. "I'm just having doubts whether it's even real... so what I want to ask is, is love real?" 

Bondita looked at him with surprise. 

"Of course it's real," she said right away. 

"Then why doesn't everyone have it? What you and Dada have?" Batuk asked. 

Why couldn't Tupur understand and respect him, the same way that Bondita understood and respected his Dada? 

And why couldn't he and Tupur be like his Dada and Boudi? 

Bondita blinked a few times, stumped by the question. 

"Batuk, it's a good question," she admitted. "I know that it's rare. I haven't seen many relationships, and from what I've seen, I agree that it's not common. But, I don't know what to say. I don't know how to explain it." 

Batuk sighed sadly. 

She didn't have an answer for him. 

"I will definitely answer you though Batuk! Wait for my answer!" Bondita told him. "I just need to think about it!" 

Batuk nodded and said, "Alright Boudi. Take your time..." 

But he was losing faith in love. 

Even though he had seen his Dada and Boudi in love, he didn't even know whether to term that as love, or something else. They were on a whole other level. 

Was it even possible to have a relationship like them?

-- 

When Bondita got to her bedroom, she was lost in thought. Batuk's question was a very good one. 

Why didn't everyone have what she and her Pati Babu had? 

She wanted everyone to experience this kind of love! It was so beautiful! 

Anirudh was already there, sitting in bed with a book in his hands, waiting for her. He looked up at her when she entered. 

Bondita locked the door behind her and went over to him, sitting on the bed next to him. 

Anirudh put the book away and reached for her hand gently. She smiled, feeling the comforting touch of his fingers on her skin. 

"Something's on your mind?" he asked her softly, noticing her expression right away. 

"Pati Babu... I was just thinking about Manika Didi's letter," Bondita told him. 

"Manika's letter?" Anirudh asked, surprised. 

"She had written me a letter, when you and I weren't talking for a year, telling me how important I was to you. In that letter... she mentioned, that one day every husband and wife will look to us for inspiration. They will look at our pair and aspire to be a couple like us," Bondita explained. 

Anirudh's face softened, and he smiled. 

"She wrote such nice things?" he asked. 

Of course, all the nice things she said about him were exclusively reserved for Bondita. Rarely to his face. 

But even that was sweet about her. 

"Yes, she wrote many sweet things about you," Bondita said, smiling. 

He had heard about the letter, but hadn't heard of the details. He also never asked, because it was a personal letter between Bondita and Manika. Her interactions and conversations with her friends were private and personal. Unless she wished to share them with him, he was nobody to interfere in between. 

"Wow," Anirudh said. "And why were you thinking about this?" 

Bondita thought to Batuk, and she shook her head. 

It was strange, because today she got the first question from someone else who seemed to look up to her and her Pati Babu's relationship. It seemed to Batuk, like they had an impossible relationship, and he wanted to know what exactly it was that they had. 

Maybe he wanted to learn. Maybe he also wanted to aspire to have a relationship like this. 

While she had confidence in the effort and faith that both she and Pati Babu put into their relationship, she didn't know how to convey that to Batuk. She wanted to put it in a way that even he would understand. 

"Nevermind Pati Babu," she said, and smiled. "I just want to love you tonight." 

Solutions to problems usually came when the mind was relaxed, and she knew that even the answer to this question would come when she was relaxed. 

Anirudh smiled at her and asked, "Is that so?" 

He brought her hand to his mouth and planted a soft and gentle kiss on it, making her heart flutter. 

She rested her head on his shoulder, their arms touching. 

He was wearing his pyjamas already, and the top had half-sleeves, so she could feel the gentle touch of his forearm against hers. 

He moved his hand to the back of hers, intertwining his fingers through her hand from behind. Then he brought it to his mouth again, kissing the palm of it. 

Bondita could feel a blush reach her cheeks, as she felt his soft lips on her hand. 

He lifted her hand up even further and kissed the part of her hand which connected to her wrist, causing her heart to flutter again. 

Her breaths quickened, as his lips moved down her wrist, to her tattoo, which had their names joined together. 

He pressed his lips against her tattoo lovingly. 

Bondita lifted her head from his shoulder, and pressed her forehead against his cheek, feeling his slight stubble on her skin. 

Anirudh looked down at her lips, and he smiled. He loved teasing her so much, but he also wanted her very badly. 

"Bondita," he murmured, turning his face and planting a kiss to her forehead. 

"Hmm?" she asked, her stomach performing somersaults.

"Am I teasing you or are you teasing me?" he asked. 

Bondita blushed and she whispered, "I haven't done anything." 

"You being so beautiful is enough," he told her breathlessly, and brought his hand to her neck, sliding his fingers down it towards her collarbone. 

She shivered, a blush on her cheeks over his compliment. 

"But you still have so much self-control," she whispered, lifting her head slightly and looking at him with her eyes, which had a hint of seduction in them.  

Those eyes. 

Those big, beautiful eyes. 

"You've taken that away," he told her, a serious look on his face.

She grinned and she asked, "Then do you want this body?" 

He shook his head and he said, "I want you... all of you." 

"Then have me," she told him, her eyes glittering. "I'm here for you." 

Anirudh leaned towards her again, and captured her lips in a kiss this time. 

Oh, her lips felt amazing. 

They kept on pulling him in, and before he knew what was happening to him, he had pushed her down on the bed, and he was kissing her passionately, wildly, his hands reaching for the sleeve of her blouse, sliding it down her shoulder, as his tongue encircled her wet mouth. 

Bondita shivered with pleasure as she felt the cool air on her shoulder and her Pati Babu's lips which were clearly desperate for hers. 

Anirudh broke the kiss and looked at her hungrily before his mouth reached for her exposed shoulder, attacking it with sweet kisses. 

Bondita moaned, as he bit down on her skin gently. 

"Love bite Pati Babu..." Bondita begged. 

He didn't have time to say anything, because his mouth was busy showering kisses on every inch of her shoulder and neck. 

She was shivering against the bed, his hands reaching for her breasts, playing with them gently over her saree. 

"Harder Pati Babu," she begged. "I know you love me, but I won't break." 

Anirudh squeezed her breast, making her gasp with happiness. 

"Is that hard enough?" he murmured against her neck. 

"Not even close," she moaned, and he lifted his face from her neck, looking at her with desire filled eyes. 

He leaned closer to her mouth and kissed her lips again gently, as he whispered seductively, "Missy, if I go hard on you, you won't be able to handle it." 

"Let's try it," she moaned against his mouth, and took his hand on her breast, pressing his fingers against it hard. "I want you to squeeze them so hard that I scream." 

Anirudh smiled against her mouth and he said, "Not possible."

"Oh Pati Babu. You're impossible!" she said, pouting. 

He pecked her cute pouting lips and he asked, "Then should I stop?" 

"Yes, go ahead," she said unhappily. 

He only talked of things such as stopping and not hurting her! 

"But I don't feel like it," he teased, his breath still on her lips. "Are you sure?" 

Bondita's heart fluttered when he said that. 

"Yes, go ahead and stop," she huffed. 

She wanted to see just how far she could push him. 

After all, it wasn't possible that she wouldn't want him. 

She loved all the ways that lead to him. 

"I don't think I have the self-control to stop today..." he murmured, and then brushed his lips over hers gently, making her heart jump with excitement. 

"Ohho then, hurry and fuck me Pati Babu!" Bondita gasped pleasurably, because her own self-control broke... she couldn't test him any longer now. 

"Language missy," he whispered, his lips immediately pressing against hers harder. 

She would have argued with his language comment, but she didn't have the time for that right now. 

She parted her lips open, and he seized the opportunity to slide his tongue into her mouth, his body aching with desire. 

He needed her now. 

Anirudh started to pull the bottom of her saree up, trying to get in between her legs and feel her, as his lips hungrily continued to kiss hers. 

That was when they were interrupted by a knock on the door. 

Anirudh broke the kiss, annoyed by whoever was at the door. 

He took a deep breath, glaring angrily at the door and yelling, "WHAT?" 

Bondita blushed and looked at him with a small smile, finding his anger at being interrupted very adorable. 

However, she was also nervous... would they really be interrupted tonight?
