You own my heart ( short story series)

Part 6

(Wapas se padhna padega? Koi baat nhi. Itna to chalta hai. Kyu?😋)

In morning

Anirudh arrived downstairs in his formal attire, which consists of a white shirt, black tie, black trousers and leather shoes, along with his cross messenger bag, as Bondita was leaving for college after getting dressed. He hadn't seen her up until this point as he was adjusting his watch, but as he descended to the bottom step, he caught her literally gaping at him. Anirudh scowls at this and asks her, "College nhi jana kya? Yahi Khadi rahogi? Jao ,jaakar gadi me baitho. Mai aata hu" Bondita frowns at his statement and complains like a kid. "It's disrespectful that despite my literal gawking at you, you didn't even bother to show me appreciation." He looks at her while furrowing his brows slightly as she speaks.

"Love, it doesn't require any effort to stare in amazement at someone. what do you require praise for. Furthermore, staring is impolite. Haven't you learned that in school?" He remarks sarcastically as he leads her towards the door. "Excuse me! Mr. Roy Chaudhary! While gazing doesn't require any effort, appreciating does. you prove it. You never give me the admiration that I deserve, as if it is a very heavy task. More over, i'm taking a chance by doing it in hall itself. They can all hear us. Don't you believe that is something to be appreciative for?"

"No, it isn't at all, love. We refer to that as shamelessness. And regarding your claim that I do not appreciate you, I completely disagree. Of course, someday, I will. But for that, you need to do duties that deserves my appreciation." He said as he helped her into the car and she sat in. He takes a seat in the driver's seat and starts the car. At his statement, Bondita scowls. "I haven't accomplished anything that deserves your praise? And even if I haven't, you may still like the way I appear. You give me the impression that you don't care that I get ready for you every day. or does it actually not?" She complains innocently, and anirudh responds with a kind smile. "I appreciate your efforts, baby. I never intended to make you feel insignificant. I was referring to scholastic success. I am really appreciative of your attractiveness. Isn't that what I proved last night?"

 She flushes as she remembers her sessions with him at his study. ""Har baar apne aap ko bachane ka tareeeka dhoondh lete hai na aap? itne chaalak hai. aisi baate bolte hai jiska koi jawaaab hi nhi hota mere paas." As she speaks, she turns to face her lap.

"isn't it my job, love. I am paid to make people speechless and shut their arguments." He continued while grinning and keeping one hand on her thighs while using the other hand to continue driving. "well, does that makes you shy? because, if I recall correctly, you weren't exactly shy yesterday. bold instead. Wasn't it you who requested that I educate you in subjects irrelevant to your studies, at my work place?" 

To his amazement, she nods fast and looks at him with excitement when he says, "Baby, you say a lot of things that you are definitely going to regret one day." He laughs at her enthusiasm. "Aren't you a bit overexcited. You most definitely aren't the shy one."

"What should I do then? You're keeping me waiting a bit too long. I'm becoming more and more shameless because of you." She adds while pouting sweetly and gently pushing his hands away from her things, making him scowl in the process. "what's up with this attitude bondita. Quit being so naïve." He adds firmly, putting his hands back on her things. She pushes his hands again, nevertheless, being the one who is stubborn. but sadly, after only a few seconds, the expression on his face caused her to regret what she had done. He responded threateningly, "Playing with me, hmm? Pay close attention, little one; I won't repeat. I am not liking this action of yours at all. I dare you to act in such a way ever again, and you might not like the results. yeah?" He challenges her as he pulls the car over to the side of the road and waits for her to exit. In her surroundings, Bondita noticed that she was only a short distance from the campus door. she nods quietly and gets down while scolding herself for stirring his anger once more.
