--

It wasn't long. 

Not long until he had to let her go. 

Anirudh had no choice. No way to back out. He just knew that he couldn't play with the lives of thousands of others. Even if it meant it had to cost him his relationship. 

He spent the day with Bondita, and his little Bondita. 

It was only when the evening hit, that he finally made the switch. 

The Pati Babu who was so loving towards her all day, suddenly seemed to show his other side. The side that Bondita saw once in a while, but this time, it seemed quite serious. 

The Pati Babu that once-in-a-while tended to push her away from him - that Pati Babu.

It was later at night after most people in the haveli had gone to sleep  - Bondita was chit-chatting with Batuk in the living room, giggling as Batuk gazed at her belly with a hazy expression in his eyes. 

"You can touch," Bondita said to him, bringing her voice to a whisper, "Kakasasurji and Pati Babu aren't here." 

Batuk's eyes widened and he gasped, "Boudi, big D will KILL me." 

Bondita retorted, "He's only being protective! Be gentle, and he won't kill you!" 

"I'm a very gentle person!" Batuk huffed. 

"Right," Bondita said, rolling her eyes.

"I am! I'm a very gentle super Chachu," Batuk said, pouting his lips and looking at Bondita with a puppy face. 

Bondita just laughed and said, "Alright then... go ahead. Touch the baby if you want." 

Batuk nodded, a grin appearing on his face. 

His hands reached for Bondita's belly, which was tucked delicately underneath the fabric of her banarasi saree. 

As soon as his hand was about to touch, Bondita nearly jumped, because she felt a firm grip on her shoulder. 

"What are you two doing?" Anirudh's annoyed voice could be heard. 

Batuk gulped and looked up at his Big D, his hands shaking about an inch away from Bondita's belly, still in transit. 

"He's here," Batuk groaned dramatically,  "The villain of my and my nephew's eternal bond!"

"Your nephew... or niece," Anirudh started dryly, "Is my son... or daughter."

"Mine too!" Bondita then said, looking at Anirudh as he towered over her and Batuk from the front of the sofa. "I have rights too right? Then why can't Batuk touch our baby? He said he'll be gentle!" 

Anirudh glared at Bondita. As if she didn't know how overly excited her brother-in-law got! What gentle?

"You've always been so biased," Batuk huffed, "First you chose Boudi over me, and now you're choosing your baby over me too! Even though I WAS YOUR FIRST BABY!"

Now Bondita turned to glare at Batuk too - she didn't like that Batuk was Pati Babu's first baby! 

It was all playful and fun between them though - she wasn't really upset about it. 

Batuk just crossed his arms over his chest grumpily. 

"You can be his first baby, but I'm his first love!" Bondita said with a grin. 

Anirudh looked down with guilt when Bondita claimed that spot. 

He had only just realized earlier... that fitoor had always been his first love. Perhaps his true love. The purpose that he had come here for. 

"I'm sure Maa was his first love," Batuk teased, now smirking at Bondita. "Then it was me!"

Bondita huffed, "I don't mean like that! I mean in a romantic way, or do you want to compete for that position too Batuk?"

Anirudh breathed out heavily - if these two were being so immature, how was he going to trust that Bondita would be okay without him? 

He brought his hand to his head, an irate expression on his face.

"Oh please! I don't need to be Big D's romantic love! You're his only romantic love! That's why his name is BIG D. Did you forget, how that name came about?"

Bondita blushed, and Anirudh wanted to yank Batuk by the hair and yell at him to go to his room. 

"That came because it was from the right only I have," Bondita then said, with a grin, "Not you, not anyone gets that right! I'm his wife after all!" 

"You don't need to be married to have sex Boudi!" Batuk then went on. 

"BATUK!" Anirudh now bellowed, "Stop corrupting Bon --" 

"She's so pure, that's how she got pregnant," Batuk huffed sarcastically, and then stood up. "Stop acting like she's a child Big D, when you did such adult things with her -" 

"BATUK!" Anirudh screamed again, and this time Batuk gulped, taking quick steps backwards. 

"Pati Babu calm down," Bondita said, looking at him with a soft gaze, "Batuk is just being himself - annoying -"

"Yeah yeah, I'm the annoying one," Batuk said, rolling his eyes, "But Big D, you must know that I never corrupted Boudi! She was the one who corrupted me! But you never tried to protect me from her evil corruption! And you both corrupted my innocent eyes and my innocent ears!"

Evil corruption? Bondita glared at him. 

But it was Anirudh's stern glare that made Batuk run all the way up the stairs. 

When Anirudh turned to look at Bondita, his glare game still strong, Bondita only offered him a sweet smile in return. 

Anirudh reached for Bondita's hand, "C'mon your innocent smile won't fool me this time." 

"Come where?" Bondita asked, standing up and following him as he lead her up the stairs. 

"Bedroom." 

"Bedroom?" Bondita asked, blushing, and she inched closer to him, her stomach performing somersaults.

She was indeed craving him again after their shower romance this morning. 

Bondita felt her lips tingle and her toes curl slightly, as his fingers grazed against her hand. All these sensations were starting to get out of control in her body!

As soon as Anirudh lead her inside, he closed the door to their bedroom. 

"Has Kaka and everyone else gone to sleep?" he asked her. 

Bondita nodded, and stepped towards him, her hands playfully teasing the buttons of his waistcoat. 

"Nobody will disturb us," she said, breathlessly. 

Anirudh glanced down at Bondita's fingers and raised his eyebrows. 

"Bondita --" 

"Wait," she managed to say and let go of his buttons, reaching for his hand and bringing it straight down to between her legs, pressing the cloth of her saree against her soft spot. 

A moan escaped her lips, and her eyes rolled upwards. 

Anirudh cleared his throat. "Bo -" 

"No foreplay is needed today," she said, her cheeks flushing with excitement. 

Anirudh fisted his hand against her sensitive zone and was about to pull it away when she pouted and groaned, "Pati Babu!" 

"I need to talk to you Bondita!" Anirudh said, his voice getting louder. 

"Are you mad because of what happened downstairs?" she asked, wrinkling her brows. 

"No Bondita," he said and pulled his hand away. "It's something else." 

"Is it urgent?" Bondita asked with a pout, "Can't it wait until later?"

She was gazing at his stern expression, finding him incredibly hot. Her gaze moved down to his pink lips - so kissable. She wanted to kiss him senselessly! 

These pregnancy hormones were not letting her separate from him! 

"Bondita, calm down," Anirudh said firmly, knowing exactly what her seduced expression meant. "Not now." 

"Fine! Talk, but after talking... satisfy my craving," Bondita demanded. 

"Stop acting so childish!" Anirudh yelled now, making Bondita's eyes widen with shock. 

She let go of whatever hold she had on him and took a step back, not expecting him to react like that. 

"W - what?" she asked, "Childish?" 

"Bondita, you can't have your way all the time!" Anirudh yelled. 

Bondita just looked at him, shocked by how he was behaving. 

"I thought... you enjoyed me being so free with you..." Bondita murmured. 

Then she shook her head at herself. She was so tied in her own desires, that she didn't even think that he might be having some kind of a problem. 

She took a deep breath and said, "Sorry... alright, Pati Babu. I'm sorry." She stepped towards him again and touched his cheek gently. Anirudh looked away from her. "Did something happen today Pati Babu?" 

Something happened alright. 

But he couldn't tell her what it was. 

Anirudh just took her hand and dropped it. 

He turned away from her, so that he was looking away at an angle. Bondita had a view of his side profile, and she had to take a deep breath to not get carried away again. 

These pregnancy hormones were too much sometimes. 

"Bondita, I made you self-dependent. If you get cravings, you should be able to manage them," Anirudh told her, his voice growing slightly hoarse. He took a deep breath, "I taught you... how to... remember?"

She had to think back to when they first started to be aware of each other's feelings.

He taught her. Taught her about self-pleasure. And how it was okay. That these desires were normal. 

But Bondita didn't understand. Why was he bringing that up now?

"You have a hand Bondita. D - don't forget that. You don't need me..." 

Bondita furrowed her brows. 

"Huh?" she asked, "What do you mean I don't need you?"

Anirudh cleared his throat and said, "If I'm not around, you can still... satisfy your hormones." 

"What are you saying, Pati Babu?"

Anirudh turned around and looked at her. 

"You said you will trust me," he said to her, trying not to get emotional. 

"Yes..."

"Then just... do that..." 

That was when he charged towards the wardrobe, and Bondita's eyes opened wide.

A suitcase came out, and soon Bondita's sarees were coming out one by one. He started to pack her suitcase, as she watched with shock.

"W - what are y - you doing P - Pati Babu?" Bondita asked tearfully.

"I'm sending you to stay with Manika and Manoshi," Anirudh answered, trying his hardest to keep himself steady.

Bondita please, Anirudh thought, Don't ask me any questions, otherwise I may break down. And if I break down, I know it'll be harder for you to leave me.

Bondita blinked a couple of times. Manika and Manoshi? Why? She wasn't expecting that. 

She wanted to ask him questions. She wanted to ask why. She wanted to ask if she disappointed him in some way.

But...

Tears flowed down her eyes and she just whispered, "You specifically a - asked me to have blind faith in you... so I w - won't q - question y - you."

Anirudh dropped what he was doing. 

He went to Bondita and begged, unable to hold back the tears in his eyes, "Bondita, don't let this faith break. No matter what you see or hear. Please, Bondita."

Bondita's lips trembled, as she watched him break down in front of her, her heart shattering upon the sight.

"Bondita can break. But Bondita's faith will never break. I will die before I lose faith in you Pati Babu."

Immediately his finger reached her lips, tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Don't say such things -"

Bondita grabbed his hand and sobbed against it. 

"You're c - crying Pati Babu. If... if there is another way, w- where I don't have to leave you, then... maybe I can h - help you think of it."

"There's no other way Bondita," Anirudh said, and took a deep breath, trying to level himself. "You have to go." 

"Pati Babu you've made a lot of silly decisions - that only hurt you! You overthink and --" 

"No Bondita. This is not one of those," he murmured.

Bondita pressed her lips against his fingers, her tears wetting them. 

"I won't ask you... how long you want me to go for. Or why you want me to go. I... said I won't question you. But... I will ask one thing of you." 

Anirudh squeezed his eyes shut, tears rolling down his cheeks again. 

"You... you must take care of yourself, okay?" she whispered. "You must... eat on time. Sleep properly. D - don't cry. Be happy." 

"If you promise," Anirudh said, eyes opening, "If you promise you'll do the same." 

Bondita looked up into his eyes and smiled through her tears, "I promise." 

Anirudh smiled at her, his own eyes wet. He brought his hand to her cheeks and wiped her tear-stained cheeks. 

"Then I promise too Bondita." 

Both of them smiled at each other through their tears. 

Anirud gazed at her with admiration. 

His Bondita had no idea why he wanted to send her away. It was so sudden, so abrupt. 

Still, she held on to her faith in him. She held on to his words, his conviction, and all the times that he showed up for her. 

And she was willing to leave him with a smile on her face... only because he said so. 

What did he do to deserve such an angel in his life? 

I hope... I can be back for you soon Bondita. Very soon.

He went to finish packing her suitcase and Bondita watched him, trying not to cry.

When he was done, he took the suitcase in one hand and took Bondita's hand in another. 

"Let's go," he murmured. 

Bondita gazed at him through her wet eyelashes, gripping his hand for her life. 

When they got to the car, Anirudh put the suitcase in the trunk and then opened the door for Bondita. 

The full moon was out in the night sky, and the cool air was whipping them both. 

"Are you cold?" Anirudh asked her, as he helped her sit in the car. 

She shook her head. 

"No Pati Babu." 

He closed the door and went to his side. 

As soon as he got inside and started the car, Bondita reached for his hand from her seat.

Anirudh kept one hand on the steering wheel as Bondita stroked his skin gently with her thumb, as if she was etching the feeling of him to her memory. 

"Batuk... will be sad," Bondita whispered. 

"He will see you at school," Anirudh told her as he began to drive. 

"And Kakasasurji might get mad." 

"He will only get mad at me," Anirudh said, "But even if Kaka or Batuk come to get you, you must stay there." 

Bondita nodded. 

She gulped, and looked ahead, trying hard not to ask him questions. 

"You want to know, how long this is for right?" Anirudh asked. 

Tears prickled her eyes and she whispered, "You don't have to tell me." 

"If I knew, I would tell you," Anirudh told her, his voice cracking. "But I don't have an answer to that."

Bondita took a deep breath and just squeezed his hand. 

"You must also be wondering if you did something, Bondita. But you... didn't do anything for this to happen," Anirudh said. "It's just the way that things have to be for now."

Bondita nodded, and she said, "Leave all that Pati Babu." 

Anirudh turned slightly to look at her with shock. 

"Leave it?" 

"Yes, I mean... if we're spending our final moments together, why does it have to be so gloomy? Let's enjoy it." 

She leaned towards him and rested her head on his shoulder as he drove. 

"Careful Bondita!" Anirudh yelled. 

"There's nothing wrong with my position!" 

"Our baby might get uncomfortable --" 

"Ohho Pati Babu. Still?" She lifted her head off his shoulder and glared at him. "I won't get to sleep beside you for a few days I guess. I can at least spend the ride on your shoulder!" 

Anirudh groaned, and Bondita placed her head on his shoulder again, a smile reaching her lips as she felt the comfort of her home. 

"You know Pati babu, they say that the reason a baby is so attached to their mother from birth is because the mother and the baby have the same biorhythm in their hearts. So my biorhythm will be the same as our baby's... I think! And that's why a baby finds their home in their mother's arms," Bondita said, "But... can I tell you something?"

"Hmm?" he asked, looking ahead, and trying to ignore the ache in his chest. 

"I think... my heart's biorhythm matches yours. That's why I feel so at home when I'm with you. You... you care for me like a mother. You love me just like that," Bondita whispered, closing her eyes. 

Anirudh swallowed the lump in his throat. Of course. 

He was protective over her like a mother would be to their child. He had instincts for Bondita, that was akin to what a mother's instinct was for their baby. 

Anirudh had always been everything to her. 

"So if my heartbeat syncs with yours, and our baby's heartbeat syncs with mine... that means our baby's mother is you too," Bondita said with a smile. "We'll all have the same heart rhythm!"

Anirudh whispered, "Bondita..." 

"What? Isn't it true?"

"I don't know Bondita. All I know is that you have to take care of yourself." 

"Of course," Bondita huffed. "Boring Babu! I didn't match that trait of yours, thankfully!"

Leave it to Bondita to make this separation a positive and light-hearted one. 

Anirudh sighed and he parked in front of the farmhouse. 

They were there. 

Bondita was about to get off him, when Anirudh grabbed her hand tightly to make her stay. 

"For one minute. Stay just like this," he whispered, keeping his voice steady. 

Bondita couldn't help but blush slightly. She continued to relax against his shoulder, as he played with the fingers of her hand that was opposite to his. 

It was probably five minutes that they stayed quietly like this, with Anirudh caressing her hand, and Bondita against his shoulder. 

"You must be so uncomfortable," Anirudh finally murmured. 

"I'm very comfortable," she just responded. "But..." 

Anirudh turned his face slightly, to glance down at her. 

"But?" he asked. 

"I'd be more comfortable if I was closer to you." 

"Closer?"

Bondita lifted her face and looked at him with a soft smile. "Stay there!" 

"Huh Bon -" 

"Listen to me!" she just said and opened her door, stepping down. 

Anirudh was about to get out of the car too, when Bondita glared at him from her side, making him stay seated, and she quickly rushed over to his door. 

He wanted to scream at her to be careful, but she had already opened his side of the door and started to climb onto his lap. 

"Bondita," Anirudh gasped, and he quickly pulled the lever to roll the seat back slightly so she could comfortably sit down. 

Thankfully, his car was one of the newer models with reclining seats. 

Bondita closed the door, and slipped off her sandals. 

"Bon -" Anirudh whispered, eyes widening. 

"I won't do anything to you! You asked me if I was comfortable, so I'm just answering your question, and showing you how I can be the most comfortable here!" 

Then she rested her head against his chest, both of them half-lying down against the reclined seat. 

Anirudh just wrapped his arms around her and sighed, pressing his nose to her hair. 

"Batuk's right, you aren't as innocent as you pretend to be," Anirudh murmured. 

"As if you didn't know," Bondita replied, rolling her eyes. 

"I swear, Manika is the one who taught you this kind of sarcasm," Anirudh said, furrowing his brows, "Now when you stay with her, you'll get worse -" 

"I guess that's the cost of this kind of business," Bondita said lightly. 

"But seriously... I don't know why I keep feeling you're so innocent," Anirudh whispered, his hands running up her back, making her shiver. 

"Because I am," Bondita huffed. 

"Right," Anirudh said softly, as Bondita cuddled more tightly against him. "See what you're doing now?"

"What?" Bondita asked innocently. 

"As if you don't know... sliding against me like that." 

Bondita tried not to smile. 

"Pati Babu, I'm just getting comfortable... as you asked me to," she teased. 

"You're very naughty," he groaned. 

"You pushed me away earlier... remember... you told me I can manage on my own," Bondita said dramatically. "So I can do that! I have hands after all... and so do you!" 

Anirudh frowned, as Bondita continued. 

"So, I'll go inside and manage, and you go home and manage. Or do it in the car! I won't judge you!" 

Anirudh furrowed his eyebrows even harder now, his hands gripping Bondita's hips tightly, still in the embrace. 

"It's the same thing right!" Bondita went on. "Pleasure is pleasure, no matter where you get it from!"

Bondita was being all 'barrister' on him right now. He knew it all too well. Yet, he was falling for it. 

 "It's not the same!" Anirudh then growled, unable to help it. 

Bondita could feel his desire harden against her, and her breathing quickened. She tried hard not to lose control of herself - because she knew just how strong his self-control was!

"It is the same! You acted like it was the same earlier!" 

Anirudh wanted to let out a swear - even in this state of separation, she was making him go crazy. 

After all, they were quite a unique couple. 

Bondita lifted her face and looked at him with her sultry expression, and Anirudh breathed hard. 

"How can it be the same, when I get more pleasure from pleasuring you, than pleasuring myself?" he then asked her softly, making Bondita's heart flutter. 

"It's okay! I can get enough pleasure by pleasuring myself! You can enjoy my pleasure from afar! I'll call you later tonight and tell you just how much fun I had pleasuring myself!" Bondita replied, not falling for his sweet talks that could transform into a crazy amount of self-control in a second.

"Bondita!" Anirudh groaned. 

"What?" she asked, glancing at his lips, feeling him harden against her. 

He grabbed the back of her head, fingers sliding inside the long strands of her hair, and brought her face down... dangerously close to his. 

Bondita was trembling, feeling his warm breath against her lips. 

"Don't get used to this," he warned. 

Bondita's cheeks turned pink and she whispered, "Pati Babu, even if we have to secretly meet and romance --" 

"We aren't sneaking around," he told her firmly, his breath still lingering on her lips. 

Bondita pouted.

"That's why I'm saying don't get used to it," he murmured. 

"Crazy Babu!" Bondita just huffed, "You always just put up disclaimers and warnings!" 

Before Anirudh had a chance to be offended, Bondita pressed her lips against his and moaned. 

Now, Anirudh was done for. 

Were they going to make love in the car under the moonlit sky?
