What? 

Did he hear it right? 

Bondita's arms were wrapped around him tightly as she buried her face into his shirt. She was just in her half-pinned blouse and her panties, and Anirudh had a hard time keeping his hands off her just a few moments ago... but now... 

Now he was utterly shocked! 

"Pati Babu..." she whispered, her voice muffling into his shirt. Why wasn't he saying anything?

First of all, before she broke his self-control completely, he had never wanted to do anything with Bondita for ten more years! He wanted to preserve her innocence in every way possible. Then when he realized that she wasn't so innocent, he let himself loose and allowed himself to look at her in this way, to crave her in this way. 

However, there were still things in this world that he didn't want her to see. He wanted to protect her from everything else outside. 

This was one reason why he was so against her reading romance novels. 

But now, this was another step ahead! 

Adult magazines!

"Say something please," she whispered. 

Anirudh placed his hands on her shoulders, trying to pull her off, but she refused to let go of him. 

He furrowed his eyebrows and he just hissed, "Bondita, why was the English store owner showing you adult magazines?" 

Bondita shook her head against his chest and she said, "it's not his fault, I went into the adult section myself and saw it..." 

Anirudh's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets upon hearing such a thing! 

"WHY DID YOU GO INTO THE ADULT SECTION BONDITA?" Anirudh yelled, making her shiver against his body. 

She still refused to let go of him. 

"T - to l - look for something to s - surprise you with," she admitted. "I d - didn't know there would be t - these magazines." 

Anirudh tried to take a deep breath and calm down, but he couldn't. 

"THIS ENGLISH STORE SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN!" he started, "FIRST YOU'VE BEEN READING ROMANCE NOVELS, AND NOW YOU'RE SEEING IMAGES!" 

Bondita squeezed her eyes shut against his shirt and she said, "There's nothing wrong with the romance novels Pati Babu! And I - I don't know what's wrong with these magazines, but I w - was just s - shocked." 

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH THESE MAGAZINES? THEY'RE STEALING YOUR INNOCENCE!" Anirudh bellowed. 

Bondita was confused. 

Did he think she still had innocence left in her? 

"BONDITA, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS! NO ROMANCE NOVELS, NO ADULT MAGAZINES... DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" Anirudh screamed. "YOUR ONLY JOB IS TO STUDY!"

Bondita gripped the back of his shirt tightly, pressing her body against his, making Anirudh's heart nearly jump. She was almost rubbing against him. 

Was she doing this purposefully? Was she trying to make it hard for him? 

"I didn't open it Pati Babu," she told him, "I accidentally saw it!" 

"Right... good... don't even think about going back in there again!" Anirudh hissed at her, half of his mind focusing on not losing control and feeling her body right now. 

Bondita pouted -- the outfits there were so hot! If she didn't go back in there, how could she select a good one? 

"And for all your... curiosities I'm here, right?" Anirudh asked her, his voice softening now, as his heart started to beat faster. 

Bondita nodded against his shirt. 

"Then in your free time, you can use me for anything you're curious about," he told her firmly. 

Bondita couldn't help but smile. 

"I can?" she asked. 

"Of course..." he murmured, leaning his face down towards her hair and inhaling the scent of it. "So you don't need anything else. You only need me." 

He was still extremely upset over his Bondita seeing such magazines, but he would have to control his anger. She wasn't at fault. It was an accident. 

Bondita grinned and she broke the embrace, looking up into his eyes. 

She would kiss him hard and push him down on the bed now, but she was certain that Batuk had already started reading those novels, and before he got too invested in them, she had to make sure he was studying! 

"Then I'll go and study Pati Babu!" she told him eagerly. 

"You will?" he asked, feeling slightly disappointed that she was going so soon. 

He glanced down at her legs one final time as she went to wear her petticoat. 

When would he get to fulfill his wish of running his hands and lips over them? 

"Yes!" she told him, "Batuk and I will study very hard! Then tomorrow when Surabhi, Vikram and Mallika come, we'll study even harder!" 

Anirudh just forced a smile.

He was waiting to make hard love to her, and here she was talking about studying hard instead.

It was almost like their roles had reversed.  

And tomorrow her friends were coming, so he wouldn't get to have her to himself tomorrow as well!

He would have to wait for her tonight, when she finished studying. But he wouldn't plant the seed of excitement in her mind, because then her focus wouldn't completely be on her studies. He would patiently wait for her to finish. 

"Alright then Bondita. Study hard and well," he told her, "And let me know if you need help." 

She nodded, as she put on her saree. 

"And I'll also make achaar Pati Babu," she informed, furrowing her brows, "The way you took me away from Kakasasurji didn't make any sense!" 

Anirudh gulped. 

How could he tell her it was because he wanted to make love to her right after school? That her legs under her uniform had been bothering him all day? 

"It won't even take long!" Bondita added on, "I'll study with Batuk for a little while, make achaar, then study even more!" 

Anirudh just nodded. 

He had already given up. 

He could only have her at night now. 

-- 

When Bondita went to Batuk's room, he was busy in his romance novels as usual. She grabbed the novel from him and forced him to study. 

The two of them studied for quite some time, until Bondita returned his romance novel to him, and went to make the achaar. When she returned, Batuk's break time was over, and she studied with him again. 

They took continuous breaks every hour or so for fifteen minutes to read a chapter of a romance novel, and then they went back to their studying. 

The only time they took a break from this cycle, was to go and eat dinner. Then they returned to their schedule. 

Soon, it had gotten very late, and Batuk was feeling sleepy, as he finished a math problem. 

"Boudi, can we stop now?" he groaned. 

"Yeah," Bondita said, yawning too. 

"I'm going to read some more before I go to sleep," Batuk said. 

"Me too," Bondita said, because her romance novel had gotten to an interesting section, and she was desperate to know what would happen next. 

The two of them picked up their books and got lost in reading them. 

They were so lost that they didn't even realize when time flew by. 

-- 

Anirudh was waiting for Bondita in their bedroom, but the hours flew by and she didn't return. 

He yawned, tempted to go there and see what Batuk and Bondita were up to. 

"I shouldn't disturb them if they're studying," Anirudh murmured to himself, "And finally, Batuk is studying too." 

He remembered his own school days, when he would study late into the night and he sighed. 

He should get used to this. 

Even though he was craving his wife, it was true that she was in her toughest years of school right now. 

Her studies were priority. 

He sighed as he left a candle lit for her so that she could see when she entered. After all, she wasn't going to turn on the light and disturb his sleep... he knew her so well. 

He got in bed and closed his eyes. 

Maybe in the morning, he could have a quick session with her before her friends arrived. 

Little did he know, that his arousal was going to go through such tough tests, because the shocks coming his way were nowhere near over. 

-- 

Four in the morning. 

That was the time. 

Batuk and Bondita both had dark circles under their eyes as they eagerly flipped through their novels, trying to know what was happening next. 

"Mine is done Boudi," Batuk said, turning to look at Bondita. 

"What?" Bondita asked. "I have two more chapters left." 

Batuk yawned loudly and looked at the time, as Bondita tried to hurry and read her novel. 

"OH MY GOD BOUDI, IT'S FOUR IN THE MORNING," Batuk screamed. 

Bondita's book nearly flew in the air when he said that. 

"What? NO!" Bondita gasped, eyes wide. 

"Yes!" Batuk said, "Why isn't Dada coming to look for you these days?" 

"He thinks we're studying!" Bondita said, feeling guilty. 

"Well, we were!" Batuk said, "I haven't studied this much in my life, the amount you made me study today!" 

"We were also reading romance novels!" Bondita argued, "Pati Babu forbid me from reading them!" 

Batuk groaned. 

"Don't feel guilty and tell Dada, please Boudi," he begged, knowing his Boudi very well. 

"I'm not stupid!" Bondita hissed back, standing up and putting a bookmark where her novel was. "Hide these books! I'm going to sleep!"

"Reading romance novels aren't wrong right?" Batuk asked as she put her textbooks away. 

"It's not wrong!" Bondita said firmly, "Pati Babu is just extra protective and he wants us to focus on our studies. That's it. This is why our studies should be more important than everything else. Only on our breaks, can we read! Once we are done studying!" 

"Dada won't allow us to read even on our breaks," Batuk informed.

"Just go to sleep for now Batuk. It's really late," Bondita said -- she couldn't think about this right now! 

She just left the room to go back to her own room. 

Once she entered her bedroom, she saw that the candle he lit for her was nearing the end of its life. 

She did her night time routine and removed her clothes completely, putting them away. 

Then she went to bed beside her Pati Babu who was fast asleep, laying on his side. 

She faced him on the bed and gently touched his hand. 

"Sorry Pati Babu," she whispered, "I couldn't stop myself. The book got too interesting and I kept needing to know what happened next!" 

Then she closed her eyes, trying to get some sleep as well. 

-- 

The next morning, when Anirudh woke up and saw Bondita fast asleep, he smiled and kissed her forehead lovingly. 

He knew she had come in really late at night, and he didn't want to disturb her sleep. It was the weekend, so she should sleep in a little longer. 

So Anirudh went to get ready for his day. 

It was around eight in the morning when Anirudh went downstairs, and it was precisely at this time, that one of Bondita's friends showed up at the haveli. 

Surabhi. 

She was wearing a half-sleeved dress which flowed down just above her knees. She was also wearing makeup, large earrings and strong perfume. She even had heels on. 

Thankfully, Anirudh who was walking on the stairs, spotted her first. If Kaka saw her like this, he would have sent the girl home before Anirudh even knew that she had arrived. 

Surabhi's gaze landed on the hot Anirudh Roy Choudhary as he came down the stairs, and her eyes lit up with excitement. 

What a blessing to see him first in this haveli! And that too, all alone! 

She had come here early so that she could maximize the time she got to spend with her Mr. ARC! 

"Hi Mr. ARC!" she greeted, nearly running in and tripping, but she managed to catch her balance. 

"Hello. Surabhi, right?" Anirudh asked, approaching her. 

She nodded. 

"You're here early," he pointed out, "Did Bondita invite you so early?" 

"She just said I can come whenever! So I thought to come early and study!" Surabhi said. 

Anirudh smiled. 

"That's great," he told her, "You should wake up early and study. It's a very good habit."

Surabhi wrapped her finger around her curled hair and twirled it around, looking at him with a twinkle in her eyes. 

Anirudh looked behind her and asked, "Where are the rest of your friends? Have they not come?" 

"Oh, I dunno, they'll come on their own I guess," Surabhi said, twisting her finger in her hair as she checked out the hot man in front of her. 

Anirudh was about to reply, when Kaka came into the main hall, his cane thumping against the ground. Bihari came running behind him. 

When he saw the young girl and how she was dressed, he just gasped, "Shiv Shiv Shiv!" 

Surabhi turned to look at the man, and Anirudh sighed. 

"Who are you?" Kaka asked rudely. 

"Surabhi, Bondita's friend," she answered. 

"Lies! My Bahu cannot have such friends!" Trilochan bellowed. "Just look at the dressing sense! Ghor kalyug!" 

Surabhi glanced down at her clothes, confused. 

"Out! Get out! Get out of our house now before you make it reek with impurity!" Trilochan ordered. 

Anirudh glared at Kaka and he yelled, "KAKA!" 

Surabhi glanced at Anirudh and looked at him with an excited gaze -- oh he was so hot when he yelled. 

"Why will I make your house reek with impurity sir?" Surabhi asked, turning to look at Trilochan. "My perfume actually smells really nice. Would you like to smell it?" 

"SHIV SHIV SHIV!" Kaka hollered, eyes widening -- did this girl just offer for him to smell her perfume?

Bihari who was standing there to the side, wondered how long it would be before gangajal made an entrance this time. 

Precap:  

The whole gang -- Surabhi, Vikram and Mallika are at the house. 

On one hand, Surabhi is trying to find ways to interact with Anirudh. 

How will Anirudh react to Surabhi's advances?

On the other hand, Bondita is trying to finish the last two chapters of her romance novel when Anirudh is away from the room. 

Anirudh comes back and catches her. 

How will he react to this?
