My Destination, My Bondita

154 - What is Love? & Waxing: A Woman's Pain?

In the Roy Choudhary end of the haveli, when Kaka caught Batuk and Vikram in the hallway, they both jumped fearfully. 

"What happened? Who was she?" Trilochan demanded. 

"R - Roopa..." Batuk stammered. 

"Who?" Kaka asked.

"Dada... himself..." Batuk said, frowning, which confused Trilochan even more. 

"What are you saying Batuk? Who's Anirudh having an... Shiv Shiv Shiv affair with?" Kaka asked. 

"Nobody!" Batuk replied and then blurted out, "Kaka, Anirudh pretends to be a maid and goes to Boudi!" 

"What?" Kaka bellowed, his eyes very wide. 

What was this new drama that Anirudh was doing now? 

"Yes!" Batuk confessed, "The lady I saw was Dada himself!" 

"Then... Shiv Shiv Shiv... the sounds?" Kaka asked, horrified. 

Batuk blushed and so did Vikram. Batuk, pretending to be innocent, said, "Kaka... what sounds? I don't know what you're talking about!" 

"Shiv Shiv Shiv! He is even dressing like a lady now! That too, a maid?! He has left us with no more honour in his fitoor!" Kaka yelled. 

"We have to go..." Batuk said. 

Vikram nodded, trying to look innocent too. 

They had to plan how to get out of this situation before their heads were blown off by Anirudh. 

After the two boys left, Kaka just shook his head angrily. Anirudh could even dress up as a maid for his Bahu and do household chores, but wouldn't do the chores that a husband needed to do! This was too much fake affection!

He really hoped that Thakumaa reconsidered her decision, and joined hands with him to figure out a way to unite Anirudh and Bondita in the proper way. 

When Anirudh got to the study room, Vikram and Batuk were waiting for him fearfully. 

They both had books out on their desks, and were pretending like they were studying really hard. Anirudh had made sure to get two desks in this room -- one for Bondita, and one for Batuk, but it seemed like Bondita's desk came in handy for Vikram instead. Anirudh also had a third, bigger desk at the back of the room, where he could sit at and keep an eye on them. 

Anirudh slammed the door hard, causing them to jump up with a start. 

"W - we're studying!" Batuk stammered.

Anirudh stormed over to the two boys, and they gulped fearfully. 

"Up, get up!" he yelled. 

Batuk and Vikram both got up, shuddering. 

Anirudh slammed his hands on Batuk's desk hard. 

"I am so disappointed in you!" Anirudh yelled. "There are so many things I'm disappointed about! SO MANY THINGS." 

"S - Sorry..." Batuk stammered. 

"First, holding down a woman like that! Is that what I taught you?" Anirudh yelled, and Batuk gulped. "Second, the things you said Batuk... the things you said! How could you think someone is going to... seduce you? You're too young for all of this!"

Batuk just looked down quietly, as Vikram nervously shook on the spot. 

His Boudi didn't seem too young, but he was?
