This is the second update for today! Read, press star, and comment on the last part and this one too please! Don't skip as things won't make sense. The next part will come only after both parts cross 450 stars.

I was thinking about going on a spree from tomorrow for the whole weekend, but since the parts are getting slow responses, I'm not so sure anymore. If you would like a weekend spree, pour your excitement through the stars and comments!

--

A long time ago, before she had even fully understood her sexual desires, before her and her Pati Babu ever confessed their feelings for each other, she had a dream.

A dream that had sent her running into her Pati Babu's bed. 

In the dream, she had seen her Pati Babu kissing her softly on her cheeks. He had whispered in her ears, that he loved her very much. Over and over again, as he kissed her cheeks, he had murmured that he loved her, as his hands caressed her small waist. 

She closed her eyes, enjoying the pleasurable sensations of the kisses, and when her eyes opened, she had seen him lying on the bed, blood on his shirt, not moving. 

Wounded. Dead. 

Back then he had reassured her that nothing would happen. It was just a dream. Bondita hadn't told him the first part, because she had been too afraid that he would keep his distance if he did. 

Now that she thought about it... wasn't the dream symbolic? 

Didn't it represent the love that they had for each other, which lead to this state of the one who she loved the most? The fact that their love lead to her desire to feel his lips on her skin, and ultimately, lead to this situation where he was dying. 

Tears further filled her eyes at the thought, and she quickly wiped her tears away, as she continued to move her clothes to the bed. 

As much as she was trying to save her Pati Babu from his guilt and destruction, the truth was that she was also consumed in it herself. 

That was when Anirudh entered the bedroom, and when he saw what Bondita was doing, he looked at her with shock. 

"What are you doing Bondita?" he asked, approaching her. 

Did she feel like reorganizing the closet all of a sudden? 

"I'm going to my old room, Pati Babu," Bondita informed, as Anirudh watched her placing the last of her folded sarees on the bed.

"Hu..uh... wh...aat Bondita?" Anirudh gasped, not expecting this.

Bondita just continued to pack her belongings silently, going over to the dresser and getting her boxes of jewelry as well.

"B - Bondita!"

His heart was hammering wildly in his chest at this sudden news, and he was having a difficult time processing why she was taking such a step. 

"BHAARI BABU," Bondita called out, as Anirudh looked at her with shock, "PLEASE HELP ME MOVE MY THINGS!" 

Bondita was about to leave the room, when Anirudh grabbed her arm, stopping her. 

She turned to face him, a blank expression on her face. 

"You can't leave like this Bondita!" he said darkly to her, his fingers pressing gently on her arm. "Not without any explanations!" 

-- 

After school, Batuk whispered to Surabhi, "Let's go behind the school." 

That was their spot to get a little cozy, because nobody went there. They would get all the privacy they wanted over there!

"When people leave," Surabhi whispered back. 

Vikram was following Batuk and Surabhi, Mallika beside him. 

"What's wrong Vikram?" Mallika asked, "You seem to have something on your mind." 

"Well, yeah, Bondita," Vikram said with a sigh, "I need to go and share today's lessons with her." 

"She's smart ji, I'm sure she will catch up easily... although actually she did so horribly on the last history test, so I can't say anymore," Mallika responded. 

"She will do fine," Vikram said with a sigh, "I'm more worried about Bondita's Pati Babu." 

"Why?" Mallika asked. 

"He's a great man! His ideologies and thoughts are splendid and amazing, and to go and advise him about something... is not my place. It feels very weird... but for Bondita, I will have to do this," Vikram explained to Mallika. 

In front of them, Batuk grabbed Surabhi's hand tightly, growling into her ear, "I can't wait for people to leave." 

Surabhi blushed, looking at him with a flirtatious gaze through her lashes, and he pulled her away from everyone, behind the school. 

Mallika noticed this and gasped. 

Where was Batuk taking Surabhi? 

"I'll get going Mallika. The sooner I go, the better," Vikram said, and then he left Mallika. 

Mallika, with narrow eyes, started to head behind the school as well to see what exactly Batuk and Surabhi seemed to be up to. 

-- 

Bondita gazed into her Pati Babu's concerned, yet dark eyes, his fingers still around her arm with a tight yet gentle hold. 

"Do you want to know why?" she asked him softly.

She brought her hand over his fingers, which were holding her arm, while feeling an ache in her chest, because she also didn't want to separate from him. 

"I... want some space Pati Babu." 

"S - Space?" Anirudh asked, shocked. 

Bondita wanted space... from him? 

There was pain in his voice when he asked her, "Did I do something wrong Bondita? D - Did I hurt you?" 

Bondita's eyes widened and she shook her head immediately. 

"No Pati Babu! You didn't hurt me and you didn't do anything wrong," she told him immediately.

She didn't want him to believe anything of that sort. She wanted to bring him out of his guilt, not push him further into it! 

"T - Then why Bondita? I m - must have done something to make you w - want to go..." Anirudh said, his heart hurting. 

"No Pati Babu, you didn't do anything wrong! Shotti!" Bondita told him and grabbed his hand, holding it tightly. To further prove her point, she brought his hand up to her lips and kissed it lovingly.

Anirudh looked at her shocked, unsure of how to process this anymore. 

This was when Bihari came running in, and he asked, "Yes Chhoti Malikin, did you call me?" 

A slight smile reached his lips, when he saw Bondita holding Anirudh's hand against her lips. His Chhote Malik and Chhoti Malikin had so much love for each other!

Bondita let go of Anirudh's hand and said, "Yes Bhaari Babu! Can you move my belongings to my old room?" 

Bihari Babu looked stunned at such a request. 

"Your old room, Chhoti Malikin?" he asked, scratching his temple, as if he was unsure of whether he heard it correctly. 

"Yes please," Bondita said. 

"Bihari --" Anirudh was about to flatly deny it, when Bondita grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the bedroom, into the hallway. 

"What, Bondita?" Anirudh asked her, looking at her, furrowing his brows, "I don't understand, if I didn't do something wrong... then why are you going?"

Bondita gripped his biceps and pushed him against the wall, outside their bedroom, making him look at her with surprise. 

She didn't have an explanation to give him. Her only priority was to make sure he didn't believe she was mad at him. That was the only explanation she could provide for him... and what better way to make him believe that, than to clearly express her desire for him? 

She leaned close to him and whispered in a tone thick with desire, "Because you might tempt me to do dangerous things in here Pati Babu. Your presence is dangerous... because it makes this Bondita's heart beat wildly in her chest. It makes Bondita want to do some passionate, hard things with you." 

Anirudh looked at her with shock, his heart beginning to beat wildly with her choice of words. 

Madame was about to leave him alone in their bedroom and go, and here she was still flirting with him? 

It just wasn't making sense! 

"Bondita --" he started, but she pressed her finger to his mouth, leaning even closer to him. 

"Bhaari Babu will come out with my stuff soon, and if he sees us like this, then we may traumatize him," Bondita said lightly. 

Anirudh glared at her and he said, moving her hand off his lips, "I don't care! You tell me right now, what's going on in your mind Bondita!" 

"You," she said breathlessly. "You, you, you." 

Anirudh stared at her with utter confusion. 

Was this a pregnancy symptom too, where one seemed to have lost their mind? 

Bondita grinned and she said, "Don't worry Pati Babu! You will be fine without me." 

Even better, actually, Bondita thought. 

"What are you talking about?" Anirudh hissed. "How can I be fine without you, when you're... p - pregnant, and need to be taken care of!" 

"I'm not sick!" Bondita said, frowning slightly. "I don't mean to argue, but Kakasasurji, Sampoorna Maa, Manika Didi, all will take care of me well. Even Batuk is taking care of me! And you... you are too. When did I say you can't? What does me going to my room have to do with being taken care of? It's a perfectly safe room!" 

At the idea of Batuk taking care of Bondita, Anirudh got a little extra protective. He was worried that his younger brother under the pretense of taking care of Bondita, would hurt her in some way. 

"Bondita, by saying you don't mean to argue, and then arguing anyways, doesn't change the fact that you have argued!" 

Bondita gulped. It was true. She was trying so hard to do all of this without arguing, but it seemed like her nature was getting the best of her. 

"Nevertheless, you're right. The room is safe... and... you will get your space," Anirudh admitted with a heavy sigh. 

Even though Thakumaa said that hugs wouldn't hurt the baby, he was worried about what would happen if he held Bondita a little too tightly in his sleep.

He had even contemplated sleeping on the couch while she slept on the bed for this exact reason! 

"So you'll let me go?" Bondita questioned. 

Anirudh felt heavy in his heart, not exactly wanting to let her go, but if Bondita decided to go... he couldn't bind her to him against her will, unless it was really dangerous to her. 

"As long as... you are taking care of yourself. If I see you aren't taking care of yourself, I'll bring you right back!" Anirudh told her firmly. 

Plus... perhaps, her going to her room was a good idea. After all, she was able to see right through him when he pretended to be happy... now, she wouldn't need to feel sad for him by seeing his sadness all the time. Now, she would have her own space to stay happy too. 

Bondita grinned and she tried to hug him against the wall, but Anirudh grabbed her shoulders and stopped her, making her pout. 

"Careful," Anirudh said, glaring at her. 

Bondita inhaled sharply, feeling a little annoyed now, and she said, "Pati Babu, don't worry. I will be very, very careful!" 

Anirudh noticed her irritated expression, and he cupped her cheeks lovingly, "I'll help you move your belongings." 

Bondita looked up into his eyes with her own adorable ones, and Anirudh couldn't help but feel his heart flutter when she looked at him like that. 

They hadn't even separated yet, and this was the state of his heart.

What would happen, when the distance made his heart grow even fonder?  

-- 

Behind the school building, Batuk had pressed Surabhi against the wall and had captured her lips in a kiss, his hormones high and heavy, as her arms wrapped around the nape of his neck, happily returning his kisses. 

He had pressed his body against hers with need, against the wall, when Mallika approached from behind. 

When she gazed at the sight in front of her, her eyes widened with shock. 

Batuk and Surabhi doing such... things? 

"Chheee," Mallika said under her breath, and she picked up a small pebble from the ground, throwing it towards Batuk, causing it to knock into his back. 

Batuk broke the kiss, alarmed. 

"What's wrong?" Surabhi asked breathlessly, pulling on his collar, trying to bring him closer again. 

Batuk just turned his face, finally noticing Mallika there, and the colour drained from his face. 

"M - Mallika," Batuk stammered, and felt his throat get dry. 

Surabhi also looked at Mallika with wide eyes, and she straightened her dress awkwardly. 

"Chhhee Batuk, what were you doing with Surabhi?" Mallika demanded. 

"K - Kiss. It's c - called k - kissing Mallika!" Batuk stammered, wondering why he was even explaining all of this to her.

She surely knew what kissing was, right? Since she didn't even seem to have an idea what sex was!

"Why?" Mallika demanded, "Is Surabhi your mom, or sister? Why will you kiss her?" 

Surabhi's eyes widened when Mallika compared her to Batuk's mom or sister. 

"Mallika, I'm not his mom or sister!" she said, frowning, "I'm Batuk's girlfriend!" 

Batuk gulped nervously, as the truth finally came out in front of Mallika. 

"Girlfriend? Then does that mean you'll marry her ji?" Mallika questioned Batuk directly, crossing her arms and frowning at him, looking quite unhappy about all of this. 

Batuk just looked at her, his mouth nearly falling open, when Mallika asked him something he hadn't even thought about yet! 

Why were all of her questions directed towards him anyways? 

-- 

All of Bondita's belongings had moved into her bedroom and Anirudh was helping her hang all her sarees in the closet there.

He had made sure everything was okay here for Bondita's comfort. He had already asked Bihari to clean the room twice! And he had pressed on the mattress ten times, to make sure it was soft enough for Bondita. He had even walked around the room over and over again, to make sure there was no possibility of Bondita accidentally bumping into things in here!

After he packed Bondita's sarees in the closet, he pressed his fingers against the bed again, making Bondita look at him with a sigh. 

"Pati Babu, if you press on the bed more, I'll assume you're checking its weight for when we have sex!" Bondita told him, frowning. 

Anirudh looked at her, his eyes widening when she suggested such a thing! 

"S - sex?! We won't be having s - sex here!" Anirudh gasped immediately. 

Bondita furrowed her brows more when he said this, and she folded her arms together, glaring at him slightly. 

"I - I mean..." he said, his throat dry, when he noticed her expression, "The bed in our room is bigger. If - if we wanted to do anything, we will go there." 

Bondita sighed and unfolded her arms, approaching Anirudh slowly. He took a few steps back, his throat feeling even more dry. His back hit the closet with a soft thud. 

She placed her finger on his chest, and seductively played with his brooch. 

"Passion has no time... or place..." she just murmured seductively. "It can happen, at any time, at any place... at any moment..." 

Anirudh looked down at her, as she seduced him. 

Oh God. 

Maybe keeping her away from school was a mistake. Her mind seemed to be travelling towards sexual activities quite a lot today. 

And the further the day was progressing, the more he seemed to be getting affected too. 

"Bondita..." Anirudh said, his voice getting heavy. 

"Hmm, Pati Babu?" Bondita asked him, glancing up at his lips, feeling a desperation to close the gap between their mouths. 

He looked down at her lips. 

It felt like it had been so long since he kissed those lips. 

Perhaps... just once... was okay...

I hope you enjoyed this chapter! 

What did you think of the AniDita scenes?

Will Anirudh kiss her?

Mallika finding out the truth about Batuk/Surabhi? What'll happen now here?

Any part of the chapter that you liked/that stood out to you? 

By the way, how many of you remembered the dream I mentioned in the beginning of the chapter? 🤭

Are you still enjoying the story? 

The last few chapters have gotten very slow responses, as opposed to the beginning of the track, when things are getting spicier now, and there's a lot more drama/excitement to unfold. Yet, the excitement from my readers seems to be missing... it's making me a little hesitant to post quickly... so please do share your motivating comments. ❤️

Remember to hit star on the last chapter and this one. Also, remember to share your comments! The next part will come when both of these parts cross 450 stars, and possibly a spree if I see quick responses. 

Love you all! ❤️
