--

That night, it had been really hard for Anirudh to sleep. He had tossed and turned in bed for hours, until sleep hit him. 

Bondita had been exhausted after studying and catching up on her schoolwork from many days (because even before that day, she hadn't been able to focus for a while... and hence had practically failed her history test too). 

She had managed to fall asleep, quite easily. Although as she laid in bed, she thought about her Pati Babu, wondering if he was okay. A part of her did want to go and check up on him, but she knew that being here was probably better for him too. If she didn't appear in front of him, then he wouldn't need to face the direct reminder that she was pregnant, and go further into his guilt. 

It was the early hours in the morning, when Bondita woke up. It was only after her morning shower, that she realized that she didn't have her school dress here. She had shifted most of her sarees, but not her school uniform! 

Bondita had to go back to her other room to get it. For that, she would need to wear something else first. 

As she was wiping her body with the towel, there was a knock on the door. 

"Bondita... it's me," her Pati Babu's voice called. "I have your school clothes." 

A flutter reached her heart, and a smile appeared on her lips. He always knew what she needed, at every moment, every step of the way... and he provided, always. 

Bondita wrapped her towel around her body, and glanced around, making sure there were no notes from last night still out. She had packed everything in her backpack before going to sleep, so there was no sign that she had been studying. 

"Bondita?" Anirudh's restless voice called from outside. 

His sleep had been very broken, and as soon as he got out of bed, the first thing he wanted to do was check in on Bondita. However, he also remembered that she had her school uniform here. He would go and deliver it to her, having a good reason to visit her now. 

At least, now he would get to see Madame's face which she hadn't shown him since yesterday! 

"Coming!" she said, and went to open the door. 

As soon as she unlocked the door and opened it, Anirudh's eyes landed on her body -- she was wrapped in a white towel, her hair tied up in a messy bun because she hadn't washed her hair that morning. The towel wasn't big -- it ended high on her thighs, but her legs underneath it, were looking very soft and appealing. 

Anirudh felt his throat go dry, and he immediately entered the bedroom and closed the door, so that nobody walking by would see. 

His gaze moved up her body towards her bare shoulders, which still had water droplets on them. She looked ravishing, and he was getting the urge to lick those droplets off her body, replacing them with a moisture of his own. 

Her school dress was flung around his arm, and Anirudh gulped, moving towards her bed and laying the dress flat on it. 

"Your... dress..." he mumbled. 

Bondita was looking at her Pati Babu in his blue and white silk nightwear, her heart hammering harder as she looked at him. 

She missed him so much. 

"Thank you Pati Babu," she said to him. 

"How are you feeling?" he asked her, turning to look at her, making sure to keep his eyes focused on her eyes, and nowhere else. 

"I'm good," Bondita said to him. 

"Are you still tired? Do you feel nauseated?" Anirudh asked her -- if yes, then he was going to insist that she not go to school again. 

"No Pati Babu. I'm feeling okay," she told him softly. 

Anirudh glanced at her face, how there were a few strands of hair that hadn't been tied into her messy bun, stuck to her cheeks, slightly damp. 

He stepped towards her, and Bondita's breath caught in her throat. The steps he was taking towards her was making her heart beat harder with each step. 

His fingers reached to her cheeks, gently moving her damp strands of hair off her cheeks. 

"You're wet," he murmured, as he caressed her skin. 

Bondita looked up into his eyes, her heart hammering even harder when he murmured that. 

"Yes, I am," she said breathlessly. 

Anirudh moved one hand, down just above her towel, to the top of her back, which was also damp. He wiped the wet droplets from her back, caressing her bare skin. Bondita trembled as he touched her.

His other hand caressed her cheek, his fingers gently massaging her ear, somehow sliding gently into the hair that had been tied loosely up, all the while still gazing into her eyes. 

Anirudh leaned closer to her, and Bondita closed her eyes, her heart hammering incredibly fast. 

He leaned towards her ear, and whispered, his warm breath tickling her ear, "I can't let you stay this wet." 

Bondita's hands gripped the sleeves of his silk robe, and she suddenly was craving to not just feel his breath, but to also feel his lips on her ear. 

Anirudh didn't know what he was doing. He could smell the scent of her soap from this closeness, and he wanted to pull her body flush against his and just... desire her freely. He didn't want to hesitate. He didn't want to drown in these emotions of guilt that he had succumbed himself into. 

But the truth was that these desires that he was feeling for her now, were just as strong back then. 

It was true he had held himself back a lot, and waited until she was ready. 

He had given himself to her at a time that he believed she could handle the physical nature of their love. He had removed the barriers between them... he had pulled her through each and every level of physical intimacy slowly... 

Yes, while it was one thing that everything happened one after the other, within the span of a few months, starting from their kiss until the union of their bodies... he had still not given everything to her in one go. He tried to protect her until the end. Until the very end, all he wanted was for her to go through things in a measured, comfortable way. 

And he had done that. He had provided that to her. 

Yet, his judgement had been wrong. And now she was going to suffer the consequences of it, by paying the price with her life and body. 

These were the feelings that lead to all of this in the first place... and this guilt was gnawing at his insides... that even though he desired her and wished he could love her freely... he just couldn't. 

So instead, what he did was, he moved his hands to her back, and pulled her against him, flush against his body, yes, but not to desire her. 

Just to give her the morning hug from their rules; a morning hug that they couldn't skip, no matter what. This, they had decided long before they even shared their first kiss. 

Bondita closed her eyes, inhaling his scent, as she wrapped her arms around him, her nose gently rubbing against the bottom of his neck. 

Anirudh held her in his arms, not too tightly, but tight enough that she deserved. 

Bondita felt the warmth in his hug, just like she had gushed to Vikram yesterday. The same warmth, that made her want to melt into his arms, into him, so deeply, to never return again! 

"Bondita," Anirudh murmured in a deep voice, as he held her. 

"Hmm?" she whispered, lost in the moment. 

"Get yourself dry and then get ready. I'll drop you to school myself." 

Bondita nodded against his body, and he let her go, glancing at her alluring form once again. 

He had so many conflicting emotions inside of him, and he just didn't know what to do with it! 

So, he left the room, to get ready for the day himself. 

-- 

Later that day, after Bondita had gone to school, Anirudh was pacing back and forth in the study, reliving what had just happened that morning.

He almost... gave into temptation... he almost ripped that towel off her body, and... 

He shuddered at the thought. 

Sampoorna Maa had told him his instincts were what caused this. 

Then why wasn't he learning? Why was he feeling these instincts again?

"What am I doing?" Anirudh asked, his heart feeling heavy, tears emerging in his eyes, "Why haven't I learned to keep myself in control? Why haven't I learned... after B - Bondita had to pay the price like this... why am I still lost like this?"

Kaka had been walking past the study room at that exact moment, and when he saw Anirudh with tears in his eyes, he frowned. 

What was happening? 

"Anirudh?" Kaka asked, entering the study, "What are you crying about?" 

"KAKA, LEAVE ME ALONE!" Anirudh bellowed, trying to look away from him. 

Trilochan furrowed his brows. 

"You're about to be a father, and you're behaving like a child. Anirudh, is this the way --" 

"KAKA, GO!" Anirudh screamed, and suddenly he picked up a vase that had been on a table at the side of the study, and he threw it on the ground, causing Trilochan to jump back, his cane nearly flying out of his hand! 

"What is this Anirudh? Throwing things around like a mad person!" Kaka yelled. "I know you never wanted this, but it's Durga Maa's blessing! Accept it!" 

"RUINING BONDITA'S LIFE, IS THIS HER BLESSING?" Anirudh screamed, tears freely flowing down his cheeks. 

"You're overreact --" 

"YES I'M OVERREACTING. I ALWAYS DO THINGS OVER, DON'T I? THAT'S WHY I OVERSTEPPED MY BOUNDARIES... THAT'S WHY BONDITA IS IN THIS STATE. IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF ME! BECAUSE I WENT OVER THE LIMITS!" 

Kaka looked at Anirudh, almost muttering Shiv Shiv Shiv, because clearly he was saying his intimacy with Bondita was over. 

The intimacy that he hadn't even known about until his Bahu got pregnant and gave him the biggest shock of his life!

Trilochan had done many prayers for this to happen, and his nephew was dismissing it as a mistake?! 

"Is this how you are going to behave with pregnant Bahu?" Kaka asked him, glaring at him now. "Do you want to cause her pain Anirudh?" 

"ONLY THAT'S LEFT NOW. SHE'S ALREADY IN PAIN, AND THE REMAINDER OF IT, IS YET TO COME!" 

Kaka pressed his cane firmly against the ground, and he went towards him, a little afraid of Anirudh's mood, but also his heart slightly softening, unable to see Anirudh in this condition as well. 

But Kaka wasn't someone who was good at expressing the love he had for his nephews. 

Like many parents, he didn't know how to frame the right words to speak what was in his heart... and that unfortunately, lead to more complications. 

"Calm down Anirudh. If you behave like this around Bahu, the baby might turn out like you!" Kaka informed, "They may start screaming as soon as they know how to!" 

Anirudh glared hard at Kaka. 

"You should be soft and gentle at this time!" Kaka lectured, "You shouldn't yell and scream and throw tantrums!" 

Anirudh glared even harder at Kaka. 

"Don't worry Kaka, Bondita is staying in a separate room now. She won't have to face this side of me!" Anirudh just said. "NOW CAN YOU LEAVE ME ALONE?"

"What? Bahu is in a different --" Kaka started, eyes widening. 

"GO KAKA!" Anirudh screamed. 

"Actually, it's best! Otherwise my grandchild will really come out of the womb screaming their head off just like their father!" Kaka huffed. 

Then he stormed away with his cane, also irritated now by Anirudh's unwillingness to accept this position that he was in. 

How irresponsible! 

What was the point of being such a renowned Barrister Babu when he did all of this? 

Why was Anirudh going through such odd moodswings anyways -- well, more than usual? He was behaving extremely pregnant!

Anirudh took a deep breath when Kaka left, and fell on top of the sofa, burying his face in his hands and wiping the sweat that had formed on his brow. 

He shivered for a moment, and then he saw Bondita's soft legs from this morning in his mind, causing his anger and fear to die down a little bit. 

Oh God. 

Didn't he just scold himself about this? 

What was wrong with him? 

He remembered her words from yesterday, where she told him that she wanted to leave the room because his presence made her want to do hard things to him, and suddenly he felt flustered.

Why were his emotions shifting so much? 

"Oh God, what is happening?!" Anirudh groaned to himself. 

He didn't know whether to cry, to smile, to blush, or to yell! 

He even felt like doing it all at once! 

Anirudh was in a very weird state of being right now.
