Anidita : Cuter Than Ever

Ch - 12 Calm before the storm!

Next morning....

Bondita's POV

As I opened my eyes I found myself in the study. Oh no! I thought,  I slept here again! I hope I didn't disturb pati babu. As I turned towards my right I saw the cutest sight...pati babu was sleeping , hugging his pillow as usual...he looked like a child. I found a blanket covering me...I smiled...he cares for me so much.
I got up went near him and covered him properly with his blanket which was half on him and half on the floor...As I turned to leave I heard him calling "Bondita" , I looked at him but he was still sleeping..."Bondita" He kept calling my name... smiling.
I wonder what you are dreaming about pati babu...but whatever it is I'm in it..."chahe aap koi bhi sapna dekhe mein apke sath hun , humesha!"

Bondita whispered this while she was standing near Anirudh...she smiled and left...

She got ready , helped Koyeli in the kitchen for sometime and then did the arti with everyone...She was serving Everyone prashad , while she went near Anirudh...she couldn't control and she kept smiling... trying to hold her laugh...

Anirudh saw her smiling and asked"kya hua Bondita etna kyun muskura rahi ho?"
Just as Anirudh asked this she laughed out loud.
"Are aab has rahi ho , phir se sindoor laga hai kya mere gaal pe?" Anirudh said frowning , but he blushed remembering that incident.
"Are nahi nahi pati babu..." Bondita stopped laughing..."woh aaj aap pata hai kya kar rahe the..." She said.
"Kya kar raha tha mein matlab? Abhi toh din ki shuruat hui hai?" Anirudh said looking at Bondita with suspicious eyes.
She started giggling again and said" Aaj subha aap neend mein apne takiye ko kas kar padkde hue the , aaur aaur naa , aap muskura muskura kar mera naam le rahe the"
Anirudh's cheeks grew red, he blushed but tried to change the topic...
"Bondita tum cheep cheep kar mujhe sote hue dekh rahi thi?" He asked.
"Kya!? mene aapko kab chup kar dekha pati babu, woh toh kaal raat study mein so gayi thi toh jab subha uthi toh aap ese muskurate hue mera naam le rahe the...wese kya sapna dekh rahe aap?" She asked putting her hands on her waist trying to look bossy.
Anirudh smiled at his wife childish behaviour but for  the question Bondita asked he had no answer.
"Mein kyun bataun tumhe apna sapna?" Anirudh said again trying to escape the topic.
"Are! Yeh kesi baat hui!? Jab har sapna saat mein dekhte hain toh yeh sapna batane se kyun mana kar rahe hain..." She frowned..."kher jane dijiye nahi batana toh maat bataiye...kaka sasur ji nashte k liye raah dekh rahehonge meri" she said and left.
While Anirudh was stunned at Bondita's words...he knows they have seen dreams together...but listening it from her just like that was new...he blushed.

In the evening...

Bondita went to the study to give Anirudh his coffee...She kept it there and was leaving when...
"Bondita abhi bhi gussa ho mujhse?" Anirudh asked.
"Kya? Nahi toh mein apse kab gussa hui? Apko esa kyun laga pati babu?" Bondita asked in confusion.
"Nahi woh tum coffee rakh kar keheti ho naa...yeh rahi apki coffee pati babu , thandi ho jaye usse pehele pi lijiyega...tumne roz ki tarah nahi muskuraya toh mujhe laga gussa ho" Anirudh said.
"Mein naa muskuraun toh apko bura lagta hai pati babu, kyun?" Bondita asked smiling.
While Anirudh couldn't answer , he just blushed. "Boliye..." She asked again.
"Uh...jo Bondita roz muskurae , jiski hasi se pura ghar khil jaye , jiske muskurane se , shraaratoh se sab khush ho jaye , woh agar naa muskurae toh bura toh lagega naa Bondita" Anirudh said , smiling.
And Bondita's cheeks grew pink.
"Offo pati babu dekhiye aapne phir se baaton mein laga diya , mujhe kitna kaam hai" Bondita said as she faked a frown.
Both of them laughed.
"Apne pati babu se bhala gussa ho sakti hai kya Bondita" she said smiling. And she left...um...left Anirudh's heart melting!!!!

(😂😂😂)

Outside the haveli...
Women were chatting and giggling... Bondita was near the main door instructing Bihari to get something from the market when she heard the chatters...she went outside and saw a man selling bangles of all kinds...Indian designs, handmade! Bondita was delighted...As a woman saw Bondita she invited her to see the Bangles... Bondita went near them and started looking at the bangles...As she was adorning and talking with the women...
The Bangle seller said"aap is ghar ki choti malkin Bondita Roy Chowdhury hain naa?"
"Ji kaka mein hi hun" Bondita said smiling.
"Are Bondita beta mujhe nahi pehechana...tumhare gaon devipur ka purana dakiya hun mein beta...yaad nahi...kese sare bacchon k saath meri cycle ki sawari karata tha mein...hum sab ped se aam toda karte the...yaad aya kuch beti?" The man asked.
"Are han kaka yaad aya! Kese hain kaka aap? Yeh chudiyan kaabse bechni shuru kar di? Aapki toh nokri thi?" Bondita asked.
"Are beta kya bataun jab se angrezon ne naye naye daak ghar kholne chalu kiye tabse kewal nojawanon ko hi mil rahi hai nokri... devipur ka daakghar band kar diya gaya...aab woh kisi aur sheher k daak ghar se mil gaya hai...toh bas nokri chali gayi...mein budha karta bhi toh kya...jo kaam aya wahi kar raha hun. Par jeevan thik hi beet raha hai beta. Thik hun. Tu kesi hai? Bada bura laga teri maa k dehant ka sun kar...par tujhe yaha badi haveli ki malkin dekh kar bhi accha lagaa...akhir hum kuch gaon wale hi jante hain...jin halaton mein hui thi teri shadi...aab tu thik hai dekh kar accha laga" The man said.
"Jin halaton mein hui thi meri shadi matlab kaka mein kuch samjhi nahi?" Bondita asked in confusion.
"Are tujhe bataya nahi kisine kese hui thi teri shadi..." The man continued to say something that felt to Bondita like someone took a piece of her life away!

The past had come knocking and this time there's no going back....
