She was looking at her reflection in the mirror and the reason being the compliment she got from her very own Pati Babu. She surely had fallen in love with herself as he had complimented her. Every now and then , when Anirudh used to say a few words about how beautiful his wife was, she ended up staring at herself in the mirror and a slight grin accompanied with a crimson blush on her cheeks appeared out of nowhere and she found herself admiring her own features. Such was the affect Anirudh's every word had on her.

While she was busy admiring herself in the mirror, Anirudh peeped in. He slowly and steadily made his way towards his ever so beautiful wife who appeared no less than an 'apsara' to him draped in her light cotton night saree. He soon realised that she had closed her eyes and she was hugging herself. He made his way towards her and stood right behind her, her back facing him. She was completely unaware of his presence and he very well knew it. He slowly made his arms slip through her tiny waist and engulfed her in a back hug. She felt electricity running down her spine. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at hers and her pati babu's reflection in the mirror. His eyes were closed and he was nuzzling his face in the crook of her neck, feeling her fragrance and she gasped every time he made a move on her bare neck. His arms were wrapped securely around her body and he had held her tightly in place. She was enjoying this feeling of him being so close to her but she suddenly lost her temper when he said ,"Bondita, I'm going to Calcutta for a week."

She immediately jerked him away and glared at him through the mirror. She was literally shooting daggers at him with her beautiful eyes and there he was enjoying her very look. He grinned as if teasing her more with the way he had curved up his lips in an evil smirk. He indeed enjoyed teasing her.

She finally turned around and keeping her hands on her hips, she asked," And why would you go there?"

"I have some work, Bondita. What else can be the reason?"

"Pati Babu, you returned from Calcutta itself just two days ago. I wonder why you keep on going there again and again!" she eyed him.

"I just told you right now and I really need to go there." he said with a subtle smile on his face.

Bondita started examining him, head to toe with her eyes and Anirudh, as if by cue, started feeling uncomfortable. She had never stared at him like that.

Finally, after about a minute with her hands still on her hips, she asked ," Tell me the truth Patibabu, do you have another wife there in Calcutta that you keep on going there so frequently?"

Anirudh smiled at this and moved towards Bondita. She remained rigid at her spot, not moving an inch. Anirudh was just inches away from her, his hands folded at the back. He bent down a little to reach her ear and slowly whispered, "I guess whatever you are saying is absolutely correct"

He had surely teased her.

But this had Bondita's blood boiling. She knew that her pati babu was teasing her but she was damn irritated. This was not some joke. She was really angry and upset that his visits to Calcutta had become so frequent and here he was being all mischievous, teasing her on purpose.

She pushed him away and glared at him.

She turned away towards her bed, adjusted her hair and without saying any word, she started walking past him, out of their room. But Anirudh was in no mood to let her go today.

He quickly held her wrist firmly.

She blurted out, irritation clearly visible in her voice, " Leave me, Pati babu. You always behave like this! "

But Anirudh is Anirudh. He pulled her towards him with great force and she landed on his chest. Her hands on his suspenders and his arms automatically wrapped around her bare waist. If Bondita were not angry with him, she would have moaned because of his touch on her bare skin, but she looked at him straight in the eyes, adamant to kill him today with her gaze.

She immediately tried freeing herself by hitting on his chest with her fists. Of course, this caused no pain to him at all. Instead, he was enjoying whatever she was doing. He liked it. He loved her for this. His Bondita was different, she was not like other women of her era.

"Let me go, pati babu"

But Anirudh was much stronger and moreover his zidd (stubbornness) didn't allow him to let her go at any cost today. He will not let her go.

The more she hit him and tried freeing herself from him, the more his grip on her waist tightened and Bondita was really feeling tingles all over her body because of the close proximity, but she put up a brave face and kept on looking at her husband straight as she continuously uttered, "Let me go, pati babu!"

But his grip on her tightened even more and now there they were, having absolutely no space between their bodies; even air couldn't pass. Bondita was standing on Anirudh's feet and her nose literally touched his nose. Their lips were just inches apart and no one was ready to surrender. Bondita was shorter than him but Anirudh's zidd had prompted him to lift her up in the air a little through her waist only.

Bondita turned her face away a little to the side and now her cheek touched his nose and out of the blue, she felt his lips on her cheek and she gasped. But she remembered she was angry. She quickly blurted out, " Let me go, Barrister Babu"

Anirudh quickly lost his calm and with his one hand, he took Bondita's chin and made her face him as he said, "Call me pati babu. "

But Bondita is Bondita. She definitely knew some magic which would definitely irritate him.

His grip tightened even more and Bondita again let out a sigh but she was in no mood to give up

"B-a-rr-i-s-t-e-r Babu" she said, running her fingers down his nose.

It mattered less to Anirudh what other people used to adress him as. He was Barrister Babu for the whole world but he wanted his Bondita to call him "pati babu" only.

"Bondita.. " he said sternly, anger and irritation clearly visible in his eyes.

Bondita just loved him this way, angry and irritated.

But now she really wanted him to let her go. She was frustrated because of his frequent visits and she really wanted to teach him a lesson.

She knew the magic. She quickly put on a sheepish smile, her lips curving into a smirk after that. She slowly wrapped her arms around Anirudh's neck. She was hitting him with the same hands a few minutes ago. Anirudh literally started losing himself to her now. He wanted her more and she was well aware of it. She knew how to take the advantage of this situation. She moved her hands away from his neck and now she placed them on his chest. Her every touch created havoc inside him and his grip on her waist was now gentle, not stiff. And Bondita wanted this exactly. Though she was feeling shy yet she didn't want him to know that. She was bold and she made the whole world know it. She slowly moved her hands towards his face and examined his face before giving a gentle blow through her parted puffy lips.

She definitely knew how to drive him crazy. Her scent was intoxicating and she herself was no less than a wine that could just drive anyone to heaven .

He was definitely losing himself more. He was relaxed now. She quickly cupped his face and kissed his forehead with those red lips of hers. He was enjoying every touch.

And here Bondita knew, one more move and her Pati Babu will lose himself to her completely.

She tilted her head to the side as she smirked.

Anirudh was still holding her by the waist but his grip had loosened as he was now in a different world altogether.

Bondita pulled him towards her from his collars and brushed her nose with his. He loved the feeling. He leaned more towards her lips. His one hand around her waist and the other caressing her cheek. He now touched her lips and finally gave up to temptation. He was about to kiss her straight on the lips when he felt a sudden push on his chest and before he knew it, Bondita wriggled her way out of his arms and ran straight outside. And when he realised what his naughty Bondita had done, his lips quickly curved up in a sheepish smile. This girl knew some magic.

He made his way out of the room as he knew he had to bring her back no matter what. He'd surely let her know today how much he craved for her every time she was away from him.

It was night and everyone must be sleeping. Moreover, he didn't even need to search for Bondita. He knew where he'll find her. Without wasting a minute, he rushed out of the room.

And he was right. As soon as he reached the study, he found Bondita, sitting on the couch like a queen with a book in her hand. But Anirudh very well knew she was not reading. When she realised he was there, she again huffed and showed him how much angry she was.

She had made it clear in her mind that no matter what, she'll make him sleep alone today. She was so sure to not let him win today. She pretended to read the book which she was not actually reading.

Anirudh slowly moved towards her and took a seat beside her.

He said, " Come, Bondita. Let's go and sleep. I have to leave tomorrow "

Bondita again glared at him and pretended that she didn't care at all. To put it simply, she just ignored him.

Anirudh saw this coming and he placed his hand on hers.

She jerked it away and said "What do you want, Pati babu? "

He got up and stood in front of Bondita, making her all the more confused. He leaned in towards her with his arms placed on the sofa as he caged her now, his face inches apart.

Bondita was all flustered because of the sudden rush of emotions inside her.

Anirudh leaned in more closer to her as he huskily said, "I want to show you how much I love you. "

Bondita just felt elated but she was rigid and tough to break. She put her hands on his chest and pushed him back. Anirudh took a few steps back and she stood up, her arms folded.

She blurted out again, "I'll sleep here only. "

This broke Anirudh's patience. He held her wrist and said, "Are we going to stand here all night like this? I won't let you sleep here. Come on, let's go."

"No! "

"Are you sure, Bondita? "

She nodded and again showed her anger.

And before she could decipher anything, she found her legs dangling in air as Anirudh had slipped his arms around her and he had already picked her up. There she was in his arms. She blushed and smiled but then again started hitting him with her small fists as she said, " Put me down, pati babu! "

But Anirudh without paying any heed to whatever she was saying, carried her in his arms towards the staircase.

"Pati babu, I will fall if you take me up through the stairs in your arms, " she said as she again hit him on his chest.

"Will I ever let you fall, Bondita? "

This was enough to melt her heart. She clutched onto his shirt with the same hands which were hitting him a few moments back. She slightly blushed and smiled sheepishly as she rested her face on his chest and wrapped her arms around his neck. Anirudh gazed at her lovingly and very gently ascended the stairs as he took her to their room.
