They both were returning from the temple....

In the car...

Anirudh-: I cant thankyou enough Bondita!.. Tumne sachme aaj meri bahut madad ki!

Bondita-: Oh God!... You have thanked me atleast hundred times now!.. Bas kijiye!.... Hum dost hain aur yeh mera farz tha!....

Anirudh-: Okay fine..par mujhe Kuch puchna tha.... May I?...

Bondita-: Yes pls!..

Anirudh-: Tumne shaadi se pehle meri photo dekhi hogi na?!... Toh tumhaari koi expectations... Koi ummeedein nhi thi?!...jaise... Tumhara pati... Yaani main.... Tumse pyaar karu?!... Ya humara rishta kaisa hoga?.... And all...

Bondita-: Nahi nahi... Maine kabhi iss baare mein socha hi nahi....maine toh aapki picture tabhi dekhi jab Baba ne dikhaayi thi!..... And thus never had any expectations!...aur vaise bhi "ummeed" toh bahut bada shabd hai!.... How can I expect anything from someone.... I dont even know properly...

Saying this she smiled and looked out of the window...Anirudh too smiled confusingly and continued driving...

Soon they reached home and and had dinner...

Shubra Ma-: Beta Bondita... Zara mere saath aao... Tumhe kuch batana hai...

They both went smiling.... And after some time Bondita came back to her room....she had a great talk with Shubra Ma...

Anirudh was in the washroom....and she was tired, so she sat near the window... Looking at the moon... A lot had happened in her life since a few days... She was sad from inside... But always masked it with a smile... But the Moon had always been her companion!..

Bondita's POV...

Yeh Chaand kitna pyaara haina!... Humesha mere saath rehta hai!...Main kahin bhi jaau... Kuch bhi karu...... Humesha mujhe dekhta rehta hai....par kabhi bhi kuch karne se rokta nahi!..... Phir bhi humesha mere saath rehta hai..... I really love how the Moon shines... Even in the darkest nights!...yeh bhi meri tarah akela hi hai Iss bade se aasmaan mein!... Par phir bhi chamakna aur dusro ko roshni dena nhi bhulta..... Aur mujhe bhi aisa hi banna hai!....

She kept her head down on the window pane.. And smiled looking at the White coloured shing flower in the sky....she sat their for sometime...

Suddenly Anirudh came out of the washroom in his Bathrobe.... Bondita turned to him starring at her husband open mouthed....and he smirked at her....Bondita loved his wet hair so much!... She wanted to touch them... And as if he got to know about her wish... He slowly moved towards her... And came super close to her... Bondita was pinned to the window pane... And she held it tightly... Anirudh bent down to her and looked straight into her eyes....His eyes showed love!... Affection!.. And naughtiness!... But they were deep as ocean!... In which Bondita wanted to drown completely!...

Anirudh's hand moved to her waist... And he held her waist softly... Bondita was shocked at his sudden movement and blushed helplessly....

Anirudh came close to her lips... And...

Bihaari-: Choti Malkin!..Badi Malkin ne kaha hai ki aap jaldi so jaayein!.. Kal subah aapko aur Chote Maalik Ko nikalna hai.... Shimla ke liye...

Bondita opened her eyes with a jerk... And as soon as she came back to consciousness... She knew she was sleeping... And this was just a dream!... She sighed and Nodded to Bihari...

Bondita-: Ji Bihaari Babu...

Bondita's POV...

Oh God!.. Another dream it was!... I have been having such stupid dreams since the day I saw his picture 4 years back!... I remember seeing him on TV for the very first time and I was super excited!.. Though it was a boring interview with all the Barristry stuff... But I loved his answers and him!....ofcourse I lied to him today in the car... He is the one I have been loving since Years!... But how can I let him know this!... He would find me stupid!... And ofcourse... After knowing that he loves Saudamini ji..... I cant let him know this at any cost!... We already are in an awkward relationship!... And I dont want it to become more awkward!...I have to hide this truth!...

Thinking all this she was roaming in the room and when suddenly she bumped into Anirudh who just came out of the Washroom wearing his Night suit... With a towel on his shoulders and wiping off his wet hair...

Bondita-: Oh I am so sorry Barrister babu!...

Anirudh-: No no Its okay!... Vaise... Itni gehraai se kya soch rhi ho?!

Bondita-: shayad... Kuch aisa jo aapko nahi jaanna chahiye!....

She said with a mysterious yet cute smile... Which made Anirudh Chuckle... But he smiled and went off to sleep....

Bondita too went to sleep.... They both didnt talk much... But Bondita always tried to find ways to talk to him and know his thoughts!... Afterall she had always loved him only for his thoughts!...

Next Morning They both woke up early... They had to leave for Shimla in the afternoon... And thus they had to pack their stuff....

Bodnita was downstairs doing the Morning aarti... Anirudh too came and joined the family... After the Aarti they all sat at the Breakfast table...

Maa-: Beta jaldi se naashta karlo... Phir packing karni haina!...

Som-: Haan haan Maa!.. Jaldi hi karenge!.. Afterall Honeymoon pe jo jaa rhe hain!.... Toh jaldi toh hogi hi dono ko!...haina Dada?!...

Binoy-: Som!... Tum aaj pitkar maanoge kya?!... Kal se dekh rahe hain hum... Bas peeche pade hue ho dono ke!...

Batuk whispered to Som... But he was quite audible to all, "Offo!...hum kahan peeche pade hain... Peeche toh Dada padenge.... Boudi ke!.... Pura din unke peeche peeche ghumenge Shimla mein!"

Bondita and Anirudh just blushed hard... They really were embarrassed...

Binoy-: Stop it now!... Enough for today!... Have your breakfast quickly!...

Kaka-: Accha suno!.. Jaane se pehle Mandir mein darshan karke jana!.. Safar accha rahega!...

Anirudh-: Ji kaka...

They both quickly had their breakfast avoiding any further awkward talks and rushed to their room....

In the room...

Anirudh shut the door... they both sighed... And eventually laughed looking at each other..

Anirudh-: Oh God!... Kya kya bole ja rhe the dono!... Mann kar rha tha kheechke do laga du dono ke!

Bondita-: Aise mat kahiye!... Kitne pyaare toh hain dono!.... It's just, I couldn't bear their fun!... It was getting so awkward!... And being a nayi bahu... I couldn't even laugh at their talks!...

Anirudh-: Hmm... Chalo forget it... Lets pack!.. Ab bookings are done.. Toh jana toh padega hi... I wish we could ignore this trip.... Par phir sabko khaamkha doubt hoga!....

Bondita nodded and they started packing....and finished off soon...they both sighed and sat on the bed tired...

Bondita-: Hum ja toh rahe hain.... Par hum karenge kya?!... Itne din!... Pata nhi kya hi karenge!...

Anirudh-: Kya karenge ka kya matlab... Vahi karenge jo sab karte hain!...

He said with a sigh...

Bondita-: What?!.... Jo sab karte hain?!.. You know na hum honeymoon pe ja rhe hain!

Anirudh-: Haan Baba!.. Vahi karenge jo sab karte hain!...and dont think too much!... I meant ghumenge!... Sab ghumte hi haina!..

Bondita-: How would I know?!... Mera pehla Honeymoon hai!.. Aur pehli shaadi!...

Anirudh-: Tum toh aise keh rahi ho jaise shaadi karna meri part time hobby hai... Ofcourse meri bhi pehli hi hai!...

Her smile faded away... And She said looking at the ground...

Bondita-: Par aakhri nahi... (Looking at him with a sad smile) main chali gayi toh aap Saudamini ji se shaadi kar lenge na?!...

Suddenly Shubra Ma entered...

Maa-: Kahan ja rhi ho bhai tum?!... Main kahin jaane nahi dungi apni pyaari si beti ko!...

Bondita smiled at her... Thank god Ma didnt hear the second half of the sentence as Bondita said it really low and sadly...

Maa-: Beta yeh Kuch Naashta hai... Bag mein rakhlo... Train mein kaam aayega!...

She took the snacks from Ma.. And kept them in the bag...

Soon it was afternoon... And they both left for the Railway station...

Thats all for today!... Hope u like this!❤️
