ANIDITA : A Life For Revolution

CHAPTER 8 : Part 2

Anirudh's p.o.v

Frustrating! That's all I could say about the opponent Barrister of our next case. He has been calling me, boasting himself and his client for half an hour and finally coming to the point – to bribe me. To bribe me – Anirudh Roy Chowdhary! Idiots! Little do they know that I'm actually going to bring up this stupid act of them in the court tomorrow. Their humiliated faces would be a treat to watch! Hah!

I smirked to myself. These thoughts were crowding inside my head when I stopped abruptly at the doorframe of study, getting interrupted by a figure crouching down my desk. What the hell?! I stormed towards the person and pulled him up by his shoulder. Tapas's fearful eyes met mine. They relaxed almost instantly.

"Senior! Dara diya apne toh" he laughed nervously.

I crossed my arms and frowned at him before letting him go.

"Tum yahan kya kar raha tha?"

"Um... Kuch nahi bas-"

"Kuch nahi?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Matlab... eh... File" he pulled up a file from my open drawer "Yeh file le raha tha" he shrugged.

"File? Aise chup chupke?"

"Arre... Chup chup ke... Nahi toh" he stuttered, again laughing nervously.

"Kyun chahiye tumhe yeh file?"

"Meine poocha tha" Bondita entered.

"Tumne?" I narrowed my eyes at her in confusion.

"Haan... Kal keliye... Mein kal keliye files aur kaagzaat tayaar kar rahi thi toh pata chala yeh wala lena phool gaya tha" she walked in and took the file from his hand.

"Acha..." I murmured, still in confusion.

"Kya hua Pati babu ap hamein aise kyun ghoor rahe hai? Kuch pareshani hai kya?" Bondita asked worriedly.

"Nahi... Nahi bas... Tum jao" I replied and sat on my chair.

"Senior, kya ap mujhpar shaq kar raha tha?" Tapas enquired, a tinge of hurt in his voice.

"Tappu! Pagal hai kya? Pati babu ko tumpar shaq kyun hoga bhala?" Bondita replied annoyingly.

"Nahi Tapas aise koyi baat nahi hai" I muttered back.

"Toh phir theek hai Birristira babu" he eyed Bondita.

I raised an eyebrow and chuckled when Bondita put her hands on her hips and narrowed her eyes at him, anger clear in her face.

"All the best Tapas" I waved a hand at him, grinning to myself and took out the case file for tomorrow.

Not after a second I heard a large slap and I know she slapped him on his arm. Tapas yelped out while I found myself wincing with him due to the sound.

"Mein tumhe kitni baar bolun ki tum unhe Birristira babu nahi keh sakte? Ek baar mein samajh nahi aate kya? Tum na" I can hear her pausing so I looked up. She waved a hand at him and started stomping away.

"Acha Barrister babu, sunna!" Tapas called out and ran towards her.

A smile touches my lips whenever I hear him calling her that. Nowadays most of them do. And the mix of emotions that arise inside me at that are simply unexplainable. A lot of them!

Tapas blocked her path and pulled his ears, giving a cute puppy eyed expression to her. I resisted my urge to laugh at that. Bondita turned her head and made a blow face. I couldn't resist anymore and laughed at it. Tapas sighed and started doing sit-ups in front of her. They looked super cute! Just how Batuk and she would be.
