Present Day

The whole way home, Anirudh had kept Bondita's hand in his, while his other hand rested against the steering wheel. 

From time to time, he would bring her hand up to his lips and kiss it, not getting enough of her. Bondita's heart kept on fluttering as she felt his soft lips against her hand, her mind racing through possibilities of what they might be doing once they got home. 

"We have to make a stop first," he said on the ride home. 

"Where?" Bondita asked, pouting. 

Anirudh's face flushed slightly, wondering how to tell her that he wanted to buy condoms before they went to his place. He didn't know how to phrase it without it sounding pushy, or like he was assuming that they would cross every limit. 

In their flirty talks earlier, they had suggestively implied that they would be crossing the line, but he still didn't want to put any pressure on her, or scare her by bringing it up. 

"Just somewhere," he mumbled nervously. 

He saw the innocent look in her eyes, and it was adorable. He brought her hand back up to his lips and kissed it again. 

"Please, can we go straight?" Bondita asked, her heart hammering wildly in her chest. She had no patience any longer. 

"That can be dangerous," Anirudh groaned, but he wanted to do that too. 

The way she looked at him with those beautiful eyes, made him want to park the car on the side of the road and make out with her right here. 

Her lips were so, so tempting right now... 

All of a sudden, Bondita's phone began to ring again. She looked down and saw it was her Mami calling. 

Great. Paritosh must have already complained. 

Anirudh noticed the disturbed expression on Bondita's face, and all thoughts of the stop he had to make vanished, as he was distracted by what the problem must be. 

He still didn't know who Bondita was talking to earlier, but the idea that someone was bothering her, was making him very angry. 

"Are you okay?" he asked her. 

"Yes, just take me with you," Bondita said, and then she turned off her phone completely. "I don't want to think about the world anymore." 

Anirudh nodded and squeezed her hand. 

"I won't let you think about the world," he murmured to her. 

She gazed at him, a deep look in her eyes. 

It seemed like moment by moment, she was becoming more and more immersed in Anirudh Roy Choudhary. It felt like she was being submerged in this love she felt for him... this craze, this passion, this insanity! How could she fall for him harder with each passing moment? 

She didn't know. 

But she was! 

And this feeling, as insane as it was, as senseless as it was, was capturing her whole being, permeating through every cell in her body, and only growing stronger with time. 

--

They managed to get upstairs, to his place, and Anirudh hurriedly closed the door behind them, as she removed her sandals. He quickly removed his shoes and socks as well. 

Bondita felt at home in his home, like it wasn't a stranger's house. It felt like she had finally come back after a long month away. 

Before she could look around to see if anything had changed, Anirudh had pushed her against the wall, by the front door, trapping her there. Her breath caught in her throat as she looked at him with an expression full of desire, her heart racing hard against her ribcage. 

"I can't control..." he groaned, glancing at her lips. 

A small smile appeared on her lips, and she whispered, "Me neither." 

Her gaze fell on his lips, and when it did, Anirudh felt an explosion in his system, needing her right now. 

He reached for her purse, and slid it off her shoulder, letting it fall to the ground. It was in the way. In fact, not just the purse. Even her clothes. That pink salwar was in the way. He didn't want anything in between them. 

But first... first he needed those lips. 

It had been a whole month away from her, and he needed to feel them again. 

So he leaned closer to her, to enjoy those lips. 

Bondita's eyes closed with excitement, and she felt his fingers against her cheeks, pressing on them gently first, before his lips also pressed on hers. 

Fireworks were going on inside her system -- nerves and neurons were firing in all directions, electric currents shooting everywhere as the desire to be closer to him strengthened. 

Anirudh kissed her hard, his mouth moving against hers gently, yet firmly, marking his presence there, but not so much that he would make her uncomfortable. 

Bondita's hands wrapped around the nape of his neck, as she opened her mouth. His tongue entered, exploring her mouth with urgency.

His hands fell to her waist, and suddenly he pulled her body against his, causing Bondita to feel his rock hard desire against her navel. 

The feeling of his erection against her was only heightening the urgency she felt. She needed him more than ever. Her body was sending all kinds of signals that wanted him desperately. 

Anirudh broke the kiss, looking at her, breathlessly. 

"You okay?" he asked, just in case. 

She nodded, panting, and she reached for his black and white checkered shirt, trying to unbutton it and get him out of it. 

Before she could even unbutton the top button though, he had reached under her and lifted her up in his arms, bridal style, catching her by surprise. She felt so safe in his muscular arms, and she leaned against him, as he gazed down at her with desire. 

"Let's make you comfortable," he said to her in a voice thick with passion. 

Bondita blushed and she said, "I'm always comfortable... if I'm with you." 

His heart fluttered when she said this, and a smile appeared on his lips. He didn't know why these small compliments did this to him, but the idea that he could make her feel this way, made him very happy and fulfilled. 

"Oh yeah?" he asked her, teasing her, "Then we don't need to do anything. We can just sit together... not touching." 

A gasp left her lips, as he walked with her inside the condo. 

He just chuckled, seeing her restlessness. 

"Well, that -- that's true! But I want to... touch you," she admitted, her cheeks pink. 

The look on her face was so adorable. Anirudh leaned towards her and softly kissed her lips as he carried her forward. 

"Where do you want to touch me?" he teased her, and he placed her down on the living room sofa.

Bondita looked up at him from her seated position, as he stood in front of her. She was right in alignment with his stomach right now, and she could see the tent in his pants. 

Oh... this was making her blush harder than ever. She was finding it all insanely hot.  

"I can't say it," she whispered, as she glanced at the tent. Were his pants too tight? Was he uncomfortable? 

She wanted to reach there and touch him so desperately.  

"Why?" he asked in a thick voice, as he noticed where she was looking, and now it was his turn to be slightly embarrassed. She was gazing directly at his erection from her seated position, and the look in her eyes was one full of desire. 

"It's inappropriate," she mumbled. 

He leaned down over her from his standing position, and she leaned back against the couch. He placed his hands on the headrest of the couch, on either side of her head, as he bent down over her. 

This position was so sexy to Bondita. 

"It's inappropriate to say it, but not inappropriate to look at it?" he teased her, breathlessly. 

Her cheeks went even more red and she gasped, "I... I..." 

He brought his finger to her lips, rubbing it gently, feeling the softness of it. Oh, how he loved these lips of hers. 

His breath was hitched in his throat, as he leaned down towards her. He kissed her forehead first, taking in the warmth in his heart as he did so. 

He didn't only want to kiss her lips, but every part of her. He didn't only want to use her for his pleasure, but he wanted to give her all the pleasure. 

He desired her body, but not more than he desired her soul. 

What was this feeling? Why did he feel this way for this woman?

Bondita couldn't help but smile when she felt his lips on her forehead. It was so sweet, so loving, and she could feel so much care in it. 

Anirudh brought his hand to her cheek, as he leaned further down against her, kissing her cheeks one by one, making her tremble with happiness. Her hands found his shirt buttons again, and she began to unbutton his shirt. 

His back was arched towards her, in such a way that he was towering over her. However, he needed to get closer, and this position wasn't allowing him to. So he brought his knees on the couch, one by one, on either side of her.

Bondita looked at him with awe. Oh, he was creative!

She was trapped between his legs, as he leaned his body weight on his knees as support, making sure he didn't press down on her and hurt her. 

His lips found hers again, and he kissed her softly first, and then deepened the kiss into a much more passionate one. Soon the kiss got urgent, as Bondita felt his chest under his half-unbuttoned shirt. 

Bondita let out a moan as Anirudh began to suck on her lower lip, pulling on it gently between his teeth and feeling it with his tongue. Her eyes were closed in such a pleasurable bliss, that she could only imagine what would happen if they went further. This was already the epitome of bliss for her... then was it possible that she would get even more pleasure than this? 

Just the idea that their bodies could unite... that he would be inside her, was making her shiver with pleasure. How she wanted to feel all of him! 

Anirudh reached around her neck where she had her soft pink dupatta. He moved beside her on the couch, sitting down with his knees pressed against it, facing her. Bondita turned to gaze at him with her alluring eyes, and he took her dupatta and wrapped it around her back, using it to pull her closer. 

Bondita gasped as she fell against his body hard from the impact of the pull. Anirudh fell back on the couch, as she landed on top of him. He looked at her with raw desire, and he let go of the dupatta, his hands reaching to her hair and drawing it all to one side in a messy way, caressing the back of her neck in the process as he did so and making her shiver. 

"You're on top of me..." he murmured, his voice gruff with pleasure.

"You did this..." she whispered back. 

"Not just this Bondita, I wanna do you too," he told her, and Bondita's face turned red, and she just fell further against him, her head landing on his half-unbuttoned, bare chest, as she took deep breaths -- excited breaths. She loved his sexy talks so much. 

Anirudh's arms wrapped around her body, as he held her against him, in the warmest and most comforting way. 

She could feel his throbbing erection against her, and it was making her go wild in a frenzy. She was also extremely turned on. If only he could feel the aching desire between her legs, he would know that his pleasure was having strong competition right now. 

Purposefully, she rubbed her body against his, causing Anirudh to gasp out loud. 

"Bondita!" he gasped, and she lifted her head, looking at him with a small smile. "You're such a naughty girl." 

Bondita slid up against his body, pressing slightly against his hardness as she did so. Then she kissed his lips lovingly. 

Anirudh reached behind her neck, trailing his fingers across it, as he returned her kiss. 

"Do you like this naughty Bondita?" she asked against his mouth, and lifted her head slightly so that she could see him. 

He looked up at her, his pupils dilating as he viewed her. 

"I love it..." he murmured, his hands gently roaming down her back, wanting to feel more of her. "I love it so much." 

A smile appeared on her lips and she whispered, "Then I can be more naughty." 

"You're already this naughty, if you become more naughty, you'll kill me," he teased her, as his hands approached her lower back, gently reaching to the sides of her and gripping her waist. 

It seemed like he loved this part of her... her waist. But for some reason, he felt strange that it wasn't exposed. Like he had spent a whole lifetime loving her exposed waist. Why did it feel like her waist was supposed to be bare?

Blushing, she kissed his cheek, making Anirudh's heart flutter. Then she kissed his other cheek, just like he had done earlier. 

Lifting her face again, she looked into his eyes and smiled at him. 

Anirudh shifted his hands up the sides of her body as he looked into her eyes, making Bondita's heart hammer hard with excitement. His hands stopped right beside her chest, wanting desperately to bring his hands around and feel the front of it. 

Bondita closed her eyes, feeling like she could lose her mind with pleasure just by his soft touches. 

She had never been so desperate like this before. She never thought that these small things could make her achieve orgasmic states, but here their clothes hadn't even come off, and she felt like she could have an orgasm just from his gentle touches. 

His hands were about to roam to the front of her body to finally feel her chest, when... 

...The doorbell rang. 

Anirudh's hands tightened around the sides of her chest, as he took an angry breath. 

Bondita looked at Anirudh with shock, wondering who would come all of a sudden. 

"Forget it," Anirudh murmured and reached to the back of her head, bringing her mouth down to his. "Just kiss me." 

Bondita nodded and pressed her lips on his, more than willing to kiss him and pleasure him in every way possible. 

As soon as their lips touched though, the doorbell rang again. 

Now Anirudh was getting furious. 

He sat up on the couch, pulling Bondita up with him. 

She got off his body and looked at him, a small pout on her lips. 

"Hold on," he told her firmly, buttoning up his shirt, "Let me deal with this, and then we'll continue." 

Bondita nodded. 

Anirudh went to the door, to open it with irritation. 

When he opened the door and saw who it was, he was shocked. 

"What are you doing here?" he snapped. 

"Talk to me properly Anirudh. I'm your mother," his Maa said, and she walked right inside his condo. "And why is your hair so messy?"

"Who said you can come in? And you should have called before coming! You can't just come anytime you want!" Anirudh argued, as she removed her shoes. 

She was carrying a bag, with food that she had cooked for him. 

"Anirudh, again, I'm your mother!" 

"But I live alone, I have a life Maa!" Anirudh said, frowning. "You can't just do this! I'm 27! Not a child!" 

"You'll always be my child. And I came here for a reason. Your Baba told me that you like someone, and that's why you refuse to get married?" his mom questioned, as she placed the bag of food on the kitchen counter. "Who is it?" 

Bondita was sitting on the sofa, blushing when she heard this, adjusting her clothing, trying desperately to fix her messy hair that Anirudh had tangled up quite a lot. 

Was Anirudh refusing to get married... because he liked her? 

"Maa, please, not now," Anirudh urged, standing in front of his mom and trying to block Bondita from her view. 

"Oh yes, he told me some name... some Bondita. Who is she Anirudh, at least tell me," his mom urged. "It's not like I'll say no. I just want to know what her parents do, and if she's good for you, I'll speak to her parents myself!" 

Bondita's face went even more red when she heard this. 

Anirudh had said he liked her to his dad? 

Her insides were fluttering with happiness when she heard this! 

"Maaaa," Anirudh groaned, "I'll call you about it later." 

But she stepped ahead, past him, and her eyes finally landed on the girl with messy hair on his couch. She nearly gasped out loud at this. 

"Who... are you?" his mother asked, taking in her disorderly appearance. 

"This is Bondita," Anirudh said right away, a little awkwardly. "She's my friend. We... were about to watch a movie." 

Bondita looked at Anirudh, a little scared, as she stood up and placed her hands together in a nomoshkaar gesture. 

"Nomoshkaar Aunty," she said nervously. 

"Bondita?" his mother said, eyeing her suspiciously, as she realized that this must be the Bondita that Anirudh's father had spoken about. "What's your full name?" 

"Bondita... Basu..." she said, gulping, afraid. 

"Maa, do you need to ask all these questions?" Anirudh snapped. 

"Of course I do," his mom said, shaking her head, "You don't understand, but it's important Anirudh. Anyways, hi Bondita. I'm not sure what Anirudh has told you about me, but I'm not as horrible as he makes me sound." 

"Oh... he hasn't... made you sound that way," Bondita said awkwardly. 

Anirudh just groaned, wondering why this situation was happening. 

"My name is Radhika Ganguly, and I'm Anirudh's mother," his mom said to her, eyeing Bondita curiously. "Anirudh has never taken any interest in a girl before, at least not to my knowledge. But for some reason, you're stopping him from getting married." 

"Maa, it's not like that!" Anirudh groaned, wondering how uncomfortable Bondita must be feeling right now. 

Bondita smiled nervously, not sure if she should be happy that he wasn't getting married because of her, or sad about it... because Mami had fixed her own marriage, and he still didn't know. 

"Anyways, where is your family from Bondita?" Radhika asked her. "What do your Maa and Baba do?"

"Uh... well... my Maa and Baba passed away... when I was small," Bondita confessed. "I live with my Mama and Mami." 

Radhika looked at Bondita with a frown when she said this. 

"And what do they do? Where do they live?" his mother asked. 

"Maa please, stop this," Anirudh urged. "Why are you talking to her like you're taking her job interview?" 

His mom ignored him and asked, "Bondita, tell me, what do they do?" 

Bondita felt very awkward right now and she said, "My Mama is an employee in a small company, and my Mami is a housewife." 

"A small company?" Radhika questioned. "Are you from a middle class family?" 

"MAA!" Anirudh bellowed, getting angry now. He very well knew of his mother's views about status. "Get out of here, now!" 

Bondita felt bad, when she heard Anirudh speak to his mom in that tone. That too, because he was worried about her comfort. She didn't want his mom to think that she was driving a wedge between her and her son. 

"Anirudh, it's okay," Bondita said softly, "Yes Aunty... we are from a middle class family. We can't make ends meet sometimes. We struggle a lot, for money. I've seen the hardships that my Mama and Mami go through... to support me. And... I... I'm not ashamed of being part of a middle class family. In fact, I... am grateful, because I learned the importance of hard work. Not to say, that those who aren't a part of it, don't know the importance of it... but our struggles just made it an easier lesson for us."

The colour drained from Radhika's face, but she didn't utter another word. 

All the while, Anirudh just looked at Bondita with awe, for some reason, his heart melting all over again, just with her pure charisma, her words, the way she spoke. 

"Anirudh, I'll get going," Bondita told him. "Your Maa is here. I don't want to be a disturbance." 

"What? No. You came first," Anirudh said, frowning now. 

"I'll call you," she said softly. "I promise." 

She didn't feel good about staying here anymore. Even if she listened to him and stayed back, she would have a sense of guilt, and awkwardness. It was better that she leave, for her own sanity. 

His Maa was silent the whole time, as if she was in a state of shock, as Bondita went to get her purse from the doorway. She picked it up, and gave an irritated looking Anirudh a smile, before leaving from there and disappearing. 

As soon as she left, Anirudh bellowed, "What was that Maa?" 

His Maa shook her head, as if she was still processing everything. 

"Nothing Beta, I was just worried about the people who you're keeping close to you. Don't I have the right to worry, as your mother?" she asked him. 

Anirudh placed his hand on his aching head, extremely irritated by this overprotectiveness. 

What kind of karma was this, where he was stuck with an overprotective parent like this? It was like once upon a time, he too had been the epitome of overprotectiveness.
