Hi my lovely readers!

The reason I stopped the spree party was because I didn't see much participation. There were a few of you who participated, and I'm very happy about it, but the chapters during the spree got less comments than any other chapter in this track (you can check... the track began on part 270). 

The ones holding up the comments, were 5-6 of you, and I didn't want to over-burden those few readers to carry the load of the whole party. Hence I stopped it, so they could take a break. These few people were commenting on every line, and as happy as I was with their love, I was worried that they were pressuring themselves too much. 

And since many of you didn't participate either, I thought to give myself a break too. So I took a day off as well for everyone to catch up (many had also not voted on the previous chapters). 

If you would like faster updates, then do provide your inline comments, and as always hit star! This part is a longer one! ❤️

--

Batuk entered his room after his Dada -- no, Big D, told him to take care of Bondita. 

He didn't know what the problem was with the couple who stuck together like anything. They were behaving very fishy! 

Batuk was convinced this must be some fantasy! Maybe their plan was to make fiery love after days of roleplaying!

When Batuk entered his room, he saw that Bondita was in his bed, the blanket pulled over her. Her eyes were closed and she was laying on her side. 

A frown appeared on Batuk's lips as he closed the door and placed his hands on his hips. 

He knew that she couldn't be asleep so fast. She was just pretending. 

Batuk stormed right over to the bed and got inside it. 

"I'm not sleeping on the floor!" he said dramatically, furrowing his brows together. 

It was his room, after all! If Boudi didn't like it, she could go back to her own room!

"I never told you to," Bondita responded nonchalantly, her back to him, holding the blanket over herself. 

Batuk laid down on the bed, and grabbed the blanket, pulling it to his side. 

Bondita felt the material slip from her fingers, slightly uncovering her body, and she pulled the blanket harder towards herself. 

Batuk frowned and pulled it even harder! 

Bondita ordered, "Batuk! Give me the blanket!"  

"What? If you don't like it, then go to Manika Didi's room... or your own," Batuk said, sounding irritated. 

Bondita turned around to glare at him. 

"I could go to Manika Didi's room, but I chose this room. Now be quiet and let me sleep," Bondita said, "I'm exhausted." 

"Why did you choose this room?" Batuk demanded. "Don't you know if Kaka finds out you're sleeping here, there'll be a big drama at this haveli?" 

Bondita pressed her lips together. 

Why not? Batuk was her best friend, and it wasn't like they didn't have slumber parties in the past!

"Why would there be a drama?" Bondita asked, "Kakasasurji trusts me. I can handle him." 

"Right. For some reason, lately, he trusts you!" Batuk huffed. 

It was strange, seeing his Kaka's faith towards his Boudi these days. 

His own Kaka didn't have that much faith in him since birth that he seemed to start having in Bondita literally overnight!

Batuk dramatically added on, "But he won't be wrong if he does do a drama! A girl and a boy aren't supposed to sleep in the same room -- let alone the same bed like this!" 

"As if this is the first time we're sleeping beside each other! Grow up Batuk!" 

"The problem is we are grown up!" Batuk said, glaring at his Boudi. 

"I am, but you're not," Bondita said, rolling her eyes. 

Batuk felt offended. Was Bondita calling him immature? 

Everyone -- even the man at the English store, still considered him a child, while they considered his Boudi an adult! It was partiality!

"Look Batuk, there's only a problem in their gaze, if they think us sleeping in one room is wrong," Bondita said, "We both know what we are to each other." 

Batuk just rolled his eyes, knowing that she wouldn't give up and said, "Fine. Whatever." 

"Are you really that uncomfortable?" Bondita finally asked, her tone turning gentle.  

"No. I just didn't want you to get scolded," Batuk confessed, and let out a long sigh. 

Bondita smiled, her heart melting. 

They had come a long way. 

She remembered on her 15th birthday, she had hugged him in front of everyone, and Batuk had gotten so terrified. Now, they could share a room, even a bed with no issues. Their relationship had only grown over time. 

"I'm going to sleep," Bondita just said, "Nobody will know I slept here, except Pati Babu." 

"He told me to take care of you," Batuk told her dramatically. "As if you're some child who needs my care!"

Bondita smiled and she said, her heart feeling warm, "He's worried about me." 

"If that's true, why don't you go to your own room?" Batuk asked. 

Bondita gently brought her hand to her belly, caressing it softly and said, "I think... I need some time... to think." 

"About?" Batuk questioned. 

"Some things." 

"What aren't you telling me?" Batuk demanded, wondering why she was being so secretive. 

Bondita looked at him and asked, "What would you do Batuk, if you had to deliver bad news to someone? How would you deliver it to them, if you know it would break them?" 

Batuk looked at Bondita with a raised eyebrow, wondering what she was on about. 

"Like if someone died?" Batuk asked. 

Bondita gulped, and she said, "Well... no..." 

"Or like how teachers used to tell me I failed my exams?" Batuk questioned. 

Bondita smiled. 

"Did that really matter to you?" she asked. 

"What mattered was facing Dada's wrath," Batuk confessed. 

"You would hide behind me," Bondita pointed out. 

"Just like you hid behind me today," Batuk said, frowning. "Boudi... tell me honestly, is there something wrong?"

Bondita looked at Batuk with a smile and said, trying hard not to get emotional again, "No." 

She didn't know how Batuk would take her pregnancy news. He could very well go and blurt it to Anirudh. Batuk was a loyal Devar and best friend, but he was also someone who may not be able to control his excitement over this kind of news. 

Bondita was actually curious to know how Batuk would react to being an uncle. 

In fact, just envisioning his reaction, she kind of felt like she was telling her child that he was going to have a sibling. It was an eager moment that every mother wanted to capture as a picture if possible. This was how Bondita felt, when she thought about telling Batuk that he was going to be an uncle. 

But, Bondita was worried about Anirudh. And giving him this news was her first priority... until then, she wasn't planning to let anyone else find out. 

"I guess, to answer your question, I would just deliver it straight... the news," Batuk informed. "That way they'll know." 

"You wouldn't be sensitive to their emotions?" Bondita asked, "If delivered the wrong way, what if they get hurt?" 

Batuk nodded slowly. That was true. 

He had always been quite blunt, but after having a girlfriend -- well, two, now, he learned that he had to speak with love sometimes. 

"So you would sugarcoat it?" Batuk asked. 

"I would have to... if their life is on the line. Just to make them realize it's not the end of the world," Bondita said. 

Batuk nodded and said, "Then sugarcoat it." 

Bondita sighed. 

That was exactly what she was having a tough time figuring out. 

How could she sugarcoat this news in such a way that her Pati Babu wouldn't feel like a failure? 

-- 

Anirudh couldn't sleep. 

He tossed and turned all night. And at 3 in the morning, he went to Batuk's room to check up on Bondita. 

The door to the room was unlocked, and Anirudh quietly went inside. It was dark inside, but his eyes adjusted quickly. 

He went over to the bed, and noticed that Batuk had his back turned to her -- he was nearing the edge of his bed, looking like he could fall off at any moment. 

Bondita was on the center of the bed, the blanket half off her body. 

Anirudh couldn't help but smile. She slept just like this with him too. He didn't get pushed off the bed, because Bondita would climb on him in the middle of the night, and cuddle with him. 

Batuk must have gotten terrified and went to the edge of the bed instead. 

Anirudh sat on the bed, beside Bondita and glanced at her nightgown, which had climbed up to her thighs. Anirudh reached to it and pulled it down with a sigh. 

There was a time, he was so protective of Bondita that he didn't even trust Batuk with her. 

But just like he got to know how pure Vikram and Bondita's bond was, he got to know how pure his younger brother's bond was with her as well. 

Batuk would never look at Bondita in any wrong way. Which was why, them sharing a bed like this didn't bother him in the slightest. 

In fact, it made his heart feel warm. 

It was like he was watching his own two babies sleep amicably together, which was almost like a proud mom moment for him. 

Anirudh reached to Bondita's hair and caressed it.

Bondita turned around in her sleep and went further towards Batuk on the bed, and he instinctively nearly fell off the bed, but Anirudh caught hold of Batuk's arm, saving him from falling, and shaking his head. 

He looked at his naughty wife, and gently held her arms now, pulling her to the edge of the bed, away from Batuk so that his brother could get some space. 

"Bondita... you can't push Batuk off the bed like that," Anirudh murmured in a soft voice to her. "I know you're used to claiming your rights on every part of the bed and on me, but you're not in the same situation right now. Give him some space too." 

Bondita stirred slightly in her sleep, and Anirudh smiled. He leaned towards her and kissed her forehead lovingly. 

"I miss you," he murmured cutely to her, having the urge to pick her up and take her back to their bedroom. 

But she was clearly comfortable and sound asleep here, and he didn't want to disturb her sleep. 

So he was about to get up and go when Bondita's hand found his out of instinct. He sat back down on the bed next to her. 

She brought his hand to her cheek in her sleep and mumbled, "Will you forgive me Pati Babu?" 

Anirudh looked at her, shocked. 

Forgive her? For what? 

"I'm badmaash Bondita..." Bondita continued mumbling in her sleep, pressing her cheek against his hand. "You were always right." 

A crease appeared on Anirudh's forehead as he watched her dilemma. 

"Why are you avoiding me Bondita?" he asked her sleeping figure softly. 

"D - don't be m - mad... o - or s - sad..." Bondita whispered, sounding like she could sob in her sleep. 

Anirudh looked at her with a soft gaze and whispered, "Tell me Bondita. What's wrong?" 

No response. 

Bondita had fallen fast asleep once more. 

A sigh escaped Anirudh's lips, and he gently withdrew his hand from hers, pulling the blanket over her so she could sleep. 

Then he went back to his own room and tried to figure out what happened to his wife, to no avail. 

-- 

That morning, when Bondita woke up, she noticed that Batuk was on the floor, snoring loudly. 

He had gotten pushed off the bed and hadn't even noticed it! He was such a deep sleeper, that even hitting the hard ground couldn't wake him up! 

Bondita blinked a couple of times, wondering what he was doing there!

She saw that she was on the other side of the bed where Batuk was supposed to be, and her cheeks turned red. 

Oh no! She must have kept edging towards him, causing him to fall off! 

Her Pati Babu usually trapped her in his arms at night, preventing her from moving around on the bed like that, but Batuk obviously wouldn't do that, which caused him to fall right off!

"Oops... sorry Batuk," Bondita said, grinning sheepishly, and then she checked the time. 

It was 6 AM. 

She got up and went to the door, opening it slightly and peering out to make sure nobody was there. 

Batuk was right. If someone saw, there could be a big drama that happened here. 

She quietly slipped out and managed to make it to her own bedroom without getting caught.

When she went inside her room, she saw her Pati Babu wasn't there, much to her relief! He must be doing yoga. 

The bathroom door was slightly ajar, and she pushed it open all the way. 

That was when she realized her Pati Babu wasn't doing yoga. 

Her Pati Babu was right here, shirtless, a towel around his waist, shaving cream all over his cheeks and chin, as he ran a razor across his cheek. 

Bondita's face turned red, and a part of her wanted to run away again, but instead, she just went up to him and wrapped her arms around him from behind, surprising Anirudh. 

When she had come in, he looked up at her reflection from the mirror, not sure how to behave. He was afraid if he said something wrong, she would flee again... so he kept quiet. 

When she hugged Anirudh, he was surprised though, and a soft smile appeared on his lips. 

He brought his free hand to her clasped hands which had wrapped around his bare stomach. 

Anirudh put the razor on top of the sink, his cheeks and chin still heavy with shaving cream.

He didn't care though, he turned around and wrapped his arms around Bondita, hugging her back. 

Bondita snuggled against his chest, her heart beating fast. 

This was their ritual; a morning hug. She had to do this. She couldn't avoid it. It was a rule they had. 

No matter how upset they got at each other, they would never ever skip their morning hug. This was not up for compromise! 

As he embraced Bondita, Anirudh suddenly had an idea. 

An idea his Bondita would never be able to turn down! Then she would perhaps stop being upset with him, and tell him what the problem was. 

He broke the hug and caressed her cheeks with his hands. 

Bondita looked up in his eyes, unable to help the small smile that formed on her lips, as she saw how adorable her Pati Babu looked with the shaving cream on his face. 

Anirudh leaned towards her and kissed her lips softly, making her insides churn with happiness. He deepened the kiss, some of his shaving cream transferring to her face. 

After breaking the kiss, he asked, "Are you here to shower?" 

Bondita didn't say anything, and he smiled, seeing the hints of shaving cream on the sides of her lips. 

He gently wiped the cream away with his fingers and murmured, "You stayed away from me last night, and I missed you so much." 

Her heart fluttered slightly, but she didn't say anything again. 

Anirudh then told her, "Take off your clothes." 

Bondita's eyes widened now, a blush appearing on her cheeks. 

"Yes baby, we're going to have a quickie before you go to school. Hurry up," he told her, and turned around to quickly finish shaving as she undressed. 

Bondita blinked a few times, her heart beating faster. 

He wanted a quickie? The thought somewhere still made her giddy with excitement, but then her fears came back. 

The fears that their sexual relations caused all of this. 

When her Pati Babu found out, he would remember all these moments and hate himself, just like she hated herself. 

Nevertheless, Bondita started to remove her nightgown, as Anirudh finished shaving and washed his face clean. 

She had gone against what he said last night and ran to Batuk's room, but she had been too afraid to face him... she didn't know what else to do. 

Anirudh turned to face her as her nightgown fell to the floor. Her fingers lingered over her panties, and Anirudh went to her, sliding them off her before she could.

When her body was revealed to him, a smile appeared on his lips.

His beautiful Bondita. 

What could his beautiful Bondita be hiding from him? What could she be scared about that she couldn't even share with him? 

Anirudh reached to his own waistline, and removed the towel from there. 

Bondita blushed as he approached her, engulfing her in his arms and saying, "We don't have much time, or I'd enjoy you nice and slow. You look so beautiful." 

She quietly just looked at him, her heart beating incredibly fast out of desire and fear. 

He leaned towards her and whispered in her ear, "Your Pati Babu is getting restless. Will you just look at me with your sexy eyes?" 

Bondita closed her eyes, a small smile appearing on her lips. 

Her hands reached to his stomach, before trailing down towards his hard manhood. 

"Put it inside," he said seductively. 

Then a gasp left her lips, as he picked her up in his arms, using one of his hands to grip her leg and wrap it around his waist. She followed suit with the other leg, as he pressed her soft spot against his navel, sliding it down towards his groin, making sure to rub it hard in a pleasurable way on the way down. 

Bondita's face was flushed, as she managed to push his manhood inside of her, and he moaned with pleasure, holding her tightly against him, as he throbbed inside of her. 

He took a deep breath, trying to keep himself in control as he executed his plan. 

"Now tell me," he murmured, having a hard time standing still, as her arms wrapped around his neck. "How does it feel?" 

Another blush reached her cheeks and she answered, "Good." 

"I wasn't talking about that," he said softly, "I'm talking about leaving your Pati Babu last night." 

Bondita gulped and looked at him nervously, but he distracted her by gripping her waist tightly, and sliding in and out of her just once, making her gasp with shock and pleasure. 

"How does it feel, troubling your Pati Babu?" he murmured, pressing his lips on her neck and sucking on it. 

Her toes curled with pleasure from around his waist, as she throbbed against his hard erection. 

"I - didn't want to t - trouble you," she confessed, as he planted soft kisses on her neck. 

"Oh, but you did," he said in a deep voice, his mouth on her shoulder now, keeping her firm against him, refusing to thrust. 

His arms were slightly hurting from holding her, but he had gotten used to bearing her weight. 

"S - sorry," Bondita apologized, her eyes rolling back with pleasure, her heart hammering. 

"That's not enough missy. You have to give me an explanation." 

His hot breath was on her shoulder, and he thrust inside her once more, making her insides shiver with pleasure. 

"If I told you... you w - wouldn't u - understand," Bondita just said, her heart aching again. 

"Try me," Anirudh said. 

Bondita squeezed her eyes shut again, her nails digging into the back of his shoulders gently, as she pressed herself against him. 

She didn't say anything, and Anirudh grew frustrated.

"Bondita," Anirudh said with a warning tone again, and he was still buried inside her, as he carried her out of the bathroom, into their bedroom. 

He laid her down on the bed, still not escaping her insides, as he fell over her from the top. 

"Tell me," Anirudh growled, "Otherwise I'll punish you." 

He knew she would love this. It would turn her on. It always did, when he turned into this darker being. 

However, today, the way she behaved was different. 

Completely different. 

Bondita looked at him with fear and said, "G - gently." 

Anirudh looked at her, furrowing his eyebrows together. 

Of course, he wasn't against going gently. He would never be. The only thing that was bothering him, was Bondita's sudden change of behaviour. 

"Alright," Anirudh said, and sighed, "But you have to tell me what's wrong." 

Bondita suddenly had tears in her eyes, and Anirudh got startled. 

"Bondita," he gasped, cupping her cheeks, caressing them. 

He withdrew from inside her, and Bondita sat up, running to the bathroom and locking herself in it. 

She pressed her back to the door, and muffled sobs into her hands so that the sound of her crying wouldn't reach him. 

Anirudh own heart was hurting as he watched her run away from him. 

What had happened to his precious wife to make her so scared of him? 

What had happened to his wife who normally had the wildest fantasies, to run away in the middle of their sexual pleasure? 

What exactly happened to Bondita? 

He was getting very worried now. 

-- 

Anirudh left Bondita alone for the rest of that morning. He had already seen what pressuring her to tell him did last night and this morning. So he didn't want to push her any further. He would have to figure out another way. 

She went to school with Batuk, and Anirudh was on the way to his study, rolling the sleeves of his dress shirt up, when he passed Sampoorna Maa in the hallway. 

Sampoorna Maa stopped in front of him, and looked at him with anger. 

"Good morning Sampoorna Maa," Anirudh said. 

"You shouldn't have done that Anirudh," Sampoorna said, shaking her head. 

Anirudh looked at Sampoorna with shock. 

"Done what?" he asked. 

"Why? You had dreams, but this is what you did... why?" Sampoorna asked, ignoring his question and sounding emotional. 

You have disappointed me so much Anirudh. For your own pleasures, you have given Bondita a lifetime of struggle... and I know you won't let her freely be a mother now. You'll still pressure her to become a barrister. That young girl, my innocent sister, will have too much pressure to be a mother and a barrister. She won't even be able to devote her life to only her child... and it's all because of you, Sampoorna thought. 

Then she turned around and stormed away, leaving Anirudh confused. 

"I think everyone in this haveli has lost their minds," Anirudh just said under his breath. 

First Bondita seemed to have an issue with him, and now Sampoorna Maa? 

What exactly was going on around here? 

-- 

Later that day, Anirudh got a phone call from the school. 

"Hello?" he answered. 

"Barrister Babu, it's me. The school principal," he informed. "I would like you to come to my office immediately." 

"Is everything okay principal sir?" Anirudh asked. 

Did Batuk get into trouble? How many times did he have to warn his younger brother to stay focused?!

"No," the principal said, "It seems like there's a problem." 

"What did Batuk do?" Anirudh asked. 

"Not Batuk... Bondita," the principal said. 

"WHAT?" Anirudh bellowed into the phone, a shock filling his system. "WHAT DID BONDITA DO?"

--
