This is based on the current track of the show where Anirudh is in jail, and Bondita is working hard to free him of his charges. 

This TS takes place after Bondita successfully frees Anirudh from his death sentence.

--

Innocent from all charges.

Anirudh Roy Choudhary was declared innocent by the court. He was free of all charges and allowed to go home. 

His student, his best friend, and his wife, Barrister Bondita Anirudh Roy Choudhary had taken it upon herself -- from countless sleepless nights, accumulating many evidences, gathering witnesses and presenting them to court. 

She had finally done it. 

Bondita had finally freed Anirudh. She had won her first case -- but that didn't matter to her. What mattered to her was that her Pati Babu was back with her. That he was freed from charges he did not deserve. She had proved his innocence in court, and now he was back beside her. He was back home. 

As Anirudh and Bondita stepped on the doorsteps of the Roy Choudhary haveli, hand in hand, Sampoorna Maa had brought the aarti thali to greet them. 

Bondita looked at Anirudh who had changed to a dress shirt and pants after court. Her heart was heavy and her eyes full of tears that just weren't falling. Anirudh wasn't meeting Bondita's eyes. His heart was also heavy. 

After Sampoorna Maa did the puja to greet them, they entered the haveli together, with the whole family gathered around.

Kaka lead them to the dining area, seating both Anirudh and Bondita, so that they could be served fresh food. While Anirudh was eating bland food in jail, Bondita was also not eating much at home. Anirudh lived like a prisoner, but Bondita also did not eat properly or get enough sleep in the last two weeks. 

As both Anirudh and Bondita ate quietly, the rest of the family didn't talk much to them. They understood how exhausted the two of them were, and there was always time for conversation. 

"Both of you go and get some rest," Sampoorna Maa said to Bondita when they finished eating. "You haven't slept properly for so long Bondita, and we know that Anirudh must not have slept at all." 

"Yes Bahu, go upstairs to the room and take some rest. Take care of Anirudh, and yourself," her Kakasasurji urged. "I don't know when we will see his old self again."

Anirudh was already making his way upstairs, looking quite lifeless. Bondita watched him go up, her own body feeling drained. 

"Pati Babu is fine," Bondita reassured the family members. "It will just take some time for him to feel normal again, but he is okay." 

"I know that with you beside him, he will be okay," Trilochan said, "We won't disturb you. You both need to rest after all of the stress and sleepless nights you've been through." 

Then her Kakasasurji placed his hand on her head and with teary eyes said, "We are all so proud to have you in our family Bahu. So proud. You saved our son. You saved him."

Bondita smiled at the family, trying hard to hold back the tears that were building in her own eyes. 

"I'll go upstairs then," she told them, and then went upstairs to her Pati Babu. 

As soon as she entered her Pati Babu's bedroom -- no, it was their bedroom now, she closed the door and locked it. 

Anirudh was standing there, looking like he was in a daze. 

Bondita went over to him, dropping her barrister robe on top of the dressing table on the way. She placed her hand on his arm gently. 

He turned to face her. His eyes looked lifeless. 

"Pati Babu," Bondita said, smiling at him painfully. 

"I - I will go and shower," he murmured, and gently moved his arm off her hand. 

She could very well see that he was trying to avoid her.

Anirudh went towards his wardrobe and opened it. When he opened it, he was met with a surprising sight. He saw sarees everywhere. 

Bondita approached him from behind and said, "I moved my stuff in here Pati Babu. I stayed in this room when you weren't here. I... I could..." Her voice cracked now. 

"I could smell your scent in the bedsheets," she concluded, still stopping the tears before they fell out of her eyes. 

Anirudh turned to look at her with awe, but she had reached past him and moved the hangers that contained her sarees to one side.

"Your clothes are still here," she explained, avoiding his gaze too. "Your night clothes..." 

She reached for his silk pyjamas, feeling the soft material with her fingers. 

"T - There's my stuff in the bathroom too," she told him, not looking in his eye, holding the pyjamas out for him. "My shampoo... my creams... my toothbrush..."

Anirudh touched her hand gently, using his other hand to take the pyjamas from her and putting them back inside the wardrobe. She looked up into his eyes with her wet ones, then looked down again. 

"I'm so proud of you Bondita," he told her softly, a smile on his lips. He touched her chin with his finger gently, tilting her face up so she would look at him. "You don't know how proud I am... that Barrister Babu Bondita has won her first case." 

She smiled at him through her wet eyes. The tears still hadn't poured out. Somehow, she was containing them in her eyes very well. 

He took her hand and lead her to the bed, sitting her down. 

"You have worked so hard Bondita," he told her, sitting next to her, holding her hand in his and rubbing her fingers gently. "And I don't even know how to express how happy and proud I am in words." 

She looked up at him, the tears still on the verge of falling, but not coming out of her eyes yet. 

"T - Then why aren't you looking at me Pati Babu? You haven't been meeting my eyes. You have been avoiding me," she said, causing him to look down with guilt. "Are you still guilty?" 

He nodded slowly. 

"Pati Babu, I've proven your innocence! I've proved it the world. Have I not been able to prove it to you?" she asked, and he looked up at her, tears in his own eyes. 

"I... I..." he mumbled with a heavy heart, unable to control his own tears from falling. "I have much more to be guilty for." 

"You don't have anything to be guilty for Pati Babu," Bondita cried, her own tears falling down her cheeks now. 

"Bondita, I left you alone on our wedding night," he told her hoarsely. "I hid something from you. I made you have to live your first moments of a new bride in such hardship." 

Bondita cupped his face in her hands, her shaking fingers on his cheeks. 

"Pati Babu," she cried. "I have been holding it together. I have been very strong in these last two weeks, because I had faith that you will come back with me. You hid something from me and I wish you didn't, but you also suffered alone. You kept that truth about what happened that night to yourself and it ate you up inside." 

She took a deep breath and continued, looking into his eyes lovingly through her tear-filled ones. 

"Pati Babu, I didn't have you with me, but I wasn't alone. I had your room. I had your pictures. Your clothes. Your scent. I had my hair lock that reminded me that you're with me. I always had you by my side... but you? You didn't have me Pati Babu. You didn't have anything of mine," she cried. "How were you surviving? How were you holding on?" 

As she cried, so did he. 

"Bondita," he managed to say through his tears, "I also had you with me. I also had you running through as the blood in my veins. You are my heartbeat. You are the thoughts in my mind. You are in every pore of my skin. How could I not have had you with me?" 

She sobbed when she heard this. 

Bondita leaned closer to him and kissed the tears on his cheek. Then she started to kiss him everywhere on his face. From his cheeks, to his forehead, his eyes, his nose. She wasn't willing to leave even a single spot untouched. 

As she kissed him everywhere on his face, there came a point where her lips gravitated towards his. 

Before Anirudh knew it, Bondita's lips touched his in a gentle, yet loving way. Their tears had mixed all over each others faces. He couldn't tell if the tears that he felt on his lips were his own or hers anymore. 

Bondita closed her eyes as she felt his lips which were dry from all those days in jail. She wished she could give his skin and lips the nourishment that it needed. She wished she could nurse his body and mind back to life. 

The feeling of Bondita's soft lips on his rough ones was enough to fuel his urges. He kissed her back gently as one of his hands reached to her bun which she didn't have covered today, since she was still in her white court saree. His other hand rested on her shoulder gently.

When Bondita broke the kiss and looked into his eyes, her eyes still full of tears, Anirudh reached to wipe the tears off her cheeks. 

"I love you Pati Babu," Bondita told him, fresh tears forming in her eyes. 

He hesitated for a moment and she cried, "Why won't you say anything?" 

Anirudh felt a pang in his heart and he smiled at her, "I love you too Bondita." 

She leaned forward and kissed his forehead again, her hands reaching around to the nape of his neck. 

"I missed you Pati Babu," she whispered to him, eyes still wet. 

"I missed you too Bondita," he said to her softly, and then he leaned closer to her, resting his forehead against hers. 

She smiled against his forehead.

"I wanted to shower too," she whispered to him. "It has been a long day." 

She felt sweaty and felt like she had too much anxiety in her skin from the courtroom. Maybe if she took a warm shower, she would feel better. 

"But I don't want to let you go now," he whispered to her in such a seductive way that it took her by surprise. 

Blushing, she tried to move her face away from his, but he didn't let her go. He held the back of her head gently, his other hand caressing the back of her neck. 

"Pati Babu I'm sweaty," she whispered to him breathlessly. "I probably smell..." 

"I love everything about you Bondita," he whispered back to her, and kissed her cheek, making her smile. "Even your sweat." 

"But Pati Babu..." she whispered, blushing. 

He leaned towards her ear and whispered, "All of this hard work was for me. All this sweat was for me. How can I ask you to wash it off? I love all of you Bondita." 

Then he pressed a soft kiss against her earlobe, making Bondita's heart hammer. She didn't know if his words were making her heart hammer more, or his kisses.

"But if you want me to shower... I can go and do that," he told her, his fingers running down her back gently. "I'm definitely sweaty." 

With a smile, he was going to get up to go and shower, but she took his hand, stopping him. 

"I also love everything about you Pati Babu," she told him breathlessly. 

He sat back down on the bed, and she cupped his face. 

There was still tinges of sadness in both of their faces, but more than that there was the love they had for each other. The desire to have the other one close. The love that they had for each other was slowly washing away the pain they felt. 

He glanced down at her lips, and she blushed again. In her haste, she had kissed his lips earlier, but she wasn't done kissing him. She wasn't done feeling him. 

"You must be so tired Barrister Bondita," he said, almost in a teasing way as he glanced at her lips. "Why don't you get some rest?"

Although there was sadness in his heart still, he wanted to give his wife the love she deserved. So Anirudh Roy Choudhary pushed his pain aside and found solace in his pleasure instead. He knew that they would overcome this hurdle together as well. 

Bondita smiled at him. "Barrister Bondita Anirudh Roy Choudhary is tired, but..." she caressed his cheek with her fingers, "She won't sleep unless her Pati Babu holds her first." 

Anirudh smiled and wrapped his arms around her. She rested her head on his shoulder, her arms wrapping around him tightly. One of his hands caressed her hair, which was still wrapped in a bun (and it was bothering him slightly), while the other hand was resting comfortably on her back -- touching the skin below her blouse. 

Bondita could feel his touch on her skin, and she moved closer to him on the bed, trying to embrace him more tightly. 

Anirudh tried to undo her hair in his embrace, his fingers busy trying to unpin it. It was very difficult though. 

The way that her Pati Babu was pulling on her hair made it hurt slightly, but it was a good kind of pain -- it was one that made her more excited. 

"Am I hurting you Bondita?" he asked, as she clutched the back of his shirt tightly, suddenly wanting it to come off. 

"No," she whispered, enjoying the way he was pulling on her hair. 

Finally, he managed to unpin her hair and it fell loosely down her back. 

They broke their embrace, gazing into each others eyes. Then Anirudh looked down at her lips, licking his own lips seductively. That act made Bondita's heart hammer wildly in her chest. 

Her fingers reached to the front of his shirt, playing with his buttons. 

"Bondita..." he murmured, leaning into her ear, his breath tickling it. "I want to kiss you over and over again." 

"K - kiss?" she gasped, "O - over and over again?" 

"When I saw you in court," he whispered in her ear, "You were looking so beautiful." 

Her heart was beating faster than ever. 

"If I wasn't handcuffed, then I don't know what I would have done," he teased in her ear, making her feel certain sensations in her body. "When you give it to everyone, you look so hot." 

Bondita blushed when she heard this. It was true for Anirudh. He loved her fierce avatar. He loved it when she adorned that barrister robe and gave a piece of her mind to everyone. Seeing Bondita so bold, so feisty did wonders to him. 

Anirudh started to suck on her ear, making her bite her lip to stop herself from making any sounds, but she couldn't help it. It felt so good when he did that. A soft moan escaped her lips, making him desire her even more. 

Anirudh pulled back slightly and glanced into her eyes for a moment, before crashing his lips against hers passionately. She was taken by surprise, but Bondita held the back of his neck, enjoying the feeling of his mouth on hers. 

"Pati Babu," Bondita begged against his mouth, breaking the kiss for a moment. 

"Hmm," he whispered, reaching to kiss her again, not getting enough of her. 

"Please let me shower," she requested. 

"Please don't," he requested back, "Do you not like me kissing you?" 

"It's not that... I... I love it..." she said with a blush. 

That was enough for him. He pressed his mouth back against hers. 

She opened her mouth slightly against his in order to argue, but he used that as an opportunity to slip his tongue inside, catching her by surprise again. 

Her hands began to unbutton his shirt of their own will as she kissed him back, feeling his skin underneath the top buttons of his shirt. 

"Please Pati Babu," she begged, as she felt his skin. She was in two minds now. 

He pushed her down on the bed seductively, his eyes glancing down at her body. She was lying down in a position that turned him on. He could see all her curves so clearly.  

"Bondita," he said to her, his voice rough, yet still full of love. "I'm not letting you go for even a moment. Forget it." 

He took her hand and brought it to his lips, kissing it. 

She blushed and gently pushed his chest. 

"Pati Babu why are you teasing me?" she asked with a pout. "Do you want me to be all sweaty during our first time?"

Anirudh laughed and leaned down closer to her. 

"My dear wife, even if you go and shower, you will be sweaty all over again," he teased, making her turn her face with a blush. "And first time for what? It's not the first time we are alone."

He played with her fingers, as she turned her face to look back at him. 

"You know what I mean," she told him, blushing, and tried to get up, but he held her arms down.

"I don't. Please explain it," he teased her. 

"I can't. Let me go," she begged.  

"Bondita," he teased, "You were just complaining to me that I wasn't looking at you. Now when I can't look away, you want to leave me and go?" 

Bondita, still blushing said, "You're so bad." 

He let go of her arms and stood up. 

"Okay then," he said, "You may go and do what you want. But don't take too long. I'm waiting for you."  

She stood up and took his hand, kissing it briefly, making him smile. 

Then without another word, she ran towards the bathroom, blushing. 

Anirudh smiled and watched her go, shaking his head slowly. Then he took a change of clothes and a towel and left the room to go to another bathroom to shower. If Bondita was trying to do her best to be attractive for him, he could do the same for her.
