My Destination, My Bondita

75 - The Morning After

The rays of the sun shined through the window of the small hut, directly into Bondita's closed eyes. She opened her eyes, her surroundings not registering properly in her mind just yet. Her cheek was pressed on her Pati Babu's bare chest, her hand there too, feeling his skin. His arms were wrapped loosely around her back. 

Bondita glanced up and saw that Anirudh was fast asleep. A soft smile reached her lips. After a long time, she was in his arms. There was no feeling more peaceful than this one. Bondita's fingers brushed over his chest lightly, feeling the muscles and curves there. She blushed as she glanced down towards his bare stomach, and then the lining of the bedsheet that was wrapped around his waist. 

Then suddenly the memories from last night pooled in her mind and gave her a reality check. She had drank the drink at the party, and ever since then she had been running around, troubling her Pati Babu. She felt her cheeks turn red with embarrassment when she remembered how she was running around on the streets outside, how she was dancing in the rain, how she was demanding he sleep next to her and remove his clothes. 

"Oh no," she mumbled, her heartrate accelerating. 

What must he think of her? 

She glanced at the portion of his body which was wrapped by the bedsheet, and remembered wondering what he looked like underneath his clothes. Her face turned red. 

The curiosity still hadn't left her. She still wanted to know what he looked like everywhere. She wanted to know every curve on her Pati Babu's body. She wanted to know him inside out. However, the memory of how she asked him about clothing being a barrier between them made her feel very embarrassed.

Bondita remembered sleeping on top of him on the floor, kissing his cheek and jaw, pressing her body against his quite hard. She remembered those strange sensations rushing through her body. 

She still was curious about those feelings, but she had troubled him so much. It was so awkward to think about now, because he probably thought badly of her. 

She remembered him calling her his Roshogulla, she remembered him sweet talking her, and a small smile appeared on her lips, but she immediately dropped it. After all, she had been so wild that he was probably only calling her that to calm her down. He probably didn't mean it. 

She was probably still only his special responsibility. 

'What have you done Bondita? You probably pushed him away from you more. You probably made Pati Babu afraid of you,' she thought to herself. 

Bondita glanced up at his peacefully sleeping face, and smiled to herself again. He looked so beautiful. She had used words like handsome for him before, but today, her whole being just wanted to call him beautiful. The beauty of her Pati Babu was unmatchable. 

Even if she was his special responsibility, she was happy. At least she was that. She was very blessed and grateful for the fact that she got to know this amazing man. How could she want or expect anything from him? 

Anirudh stirred in his sleep, and Bondita clutched his chest hard, snapping her eyes back shut. 

When Anirudh opened his eyes, he glanced down at the young lady in his arms. His arms were loosely wrapped around her back, and she looked like she was peacefully sleeping. 

A smile appeared on his lips as he remembered the events of last night. She had been so difficult to handle, but he wouldn't trade the time he spent with her, with anything else in the world. Even when she was giving him so much difficulty, he wouldn't rather be anywhere else. He loved her... every part of her. There was nothing he wanted more than to take care of her and love her. If anything, seeing her so care-free, so bold, so herself, made him admire her all the more.
