My Destination, My Bondita

130 - Close Your Eyes! Romance is in the Air!

"What is going on here?!" Batuk Roy Choudhary demanded. 

The position that they had been caught in didn't look too innocent. However, Bondita didn't seem to find anything wrong with it at all, because when Batuk appeared in front of her, the first thing she did was excitedly gasp, "Batuk! You're here too?"

She was about to get up, not realizing that her pallu had slid off her shoulder, when Anirudh's grip on her body grew tighter, not allowing her to get up. 

"Batuk, close your eyes!" Anirudh ordered. 

"Why?" Batuk groaned. 

"Do as I say!" 

Batuk closed his eyes, as Bondita looked at Anirudh with awe. 

"Bondita," Anirudh murmured softly, slowly releasing her from his grip. 

She sat up, her pallu falling down her arm, and he sat up with her, holding her pallu and pulling it up on her shoulder. 

"Aren't you getting a little possessive Pati Babu?" she asked, but her heart fluttered, because she liked seeing this side of him. "Only you can see me like this, right?"

Anirudh smiled and shook his head. 

"My dear, you're so beautiful that I want the world to appreciate you. I don't want to hide you behind a curtain. You're amazing my sweetest Bondita, and everyone should know how amazing you are. Not only me," he told her, making Bondita smile at him. 

"My eyes are closed but not my ears!" Batuk yelled, pouting as he heard all the compliments his Dada was giving his Boudi -- he had never ever in his life received such buttering from his Dada!

Anirudh ignored Batuk and continued seriously to Bondita, "But, only people who can appreciate your beauty. I don't want anyone to poison you with their ill thoughts." 

Batuk frowned -- since when did he have ill thoughts? Not only was his Dada not complimenting him like that, he was also accusing him of having ill thoughts. 

Bondita, with a blush on her face, leaned towards her Pati Babu and placed her head on his chest, as Anirudh wrapped his arms around her for their morning hug. 

"Dada!" Batuk pouted, "Can I open my eyes now?"

"Yeah," Anirudh said, shaking his head slowly, still holding Bondita to him with a smile.

Batuk opened his eyes and saw their embrace. He groaned again. 

"What is going on?" Batuk yelled again, but Bondita broke free from Anirudh's arms and jumped off the bed.

"BATUK!" Bondita screamed in happiness and ran towards her best friend, pausing to glance at Anirudh. 

Anirudh just laughed and nodded, indicating that she could go ahead with whatever she wanted to do. 

Batuk, who still had a frown on his face nearly jumped when Bondita threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly. 

"BOUDI!" Batuk screamed in horror, remembering the incident at her birthday party. "OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

Bondita just laughed and said, "Hug me silly, I don't have germs!" 

Anirudh was just laughing as he got off the bed. He truly admired Bondita and Batuk's bond. 

Batuk awkwardly patted Bondita's back, and she broke the hug, beaming with happiness. 

"I came with Dada to study!" Batuk huffed. "For these two months."
