That night, Bondita decided to go to sleep early.
She had a test the next day that she had studied hard for, but she needed to ensure that she was rested enough to get good results.
After brushing her teeth and changing into one of the night dresses her Pati Babu bought for her - this time a light lavender one, she got in bed and turned off the bedside lamp. Pulling the covers over her chin, she buried her hand underneath and on top of her belly, rubbing it affectionately.
"Good night my dear," she murmured, "Your Maa has an important test tomorrow. You'll support me from within, right?"
As if on cue, she felt the light tap inside her womb. The baby was kicking again.
Bondita giggled and said, "You get so active at night."
She closed her eyes, still rubbing her belly affectionately. "If only your Baba could feel this too."
She tried not to get emotional, but couldn't help the tears that began to trickle down her cheek.
Grabbing the pillow beside her, she hugged it against her chest, imagining it was her Pati Babu.
"Oh, my Pati Babu... have you forsaken me?" she sobbed, squeezing the pillow against her chest.
It was dark. She was in a tunnel of darkness... one in which she didn't know if she'd reach the end to see the light.

Anirudh made it to the farmhouse where Manika and Bondita were staying.
This time, he went through the front door. Manika was the one who opened the door for him, and she was surprised to see him.
"Well... hello Anirudh?" she asked, raising her brow.
But he barely looked at her. "Bondita," he groaned, and just went past her, up the stairs.
Manika watched him go, her mouth falling open. "He has such moodswings!" she gasped. "Anyways, I won't step in. Let them have their time. I hope everything gets sorted out between them."
She locked the door and decided to go to sleep.

He gently opened the bedroom door. It was dark - all the lights were off, and she was sleeping soundly.
Anirudh closed the door behind him and went to bed where she was. He was going to get in bed, but he stopped himself.
"I'll hurt you," he murmured, and started to unbutton his waistcoat. "My brooch, my buttons will hurt you... and it won't be comfortable."
Then he reached for his belt, and started to unbuckle it.
The metal from the belt would definitely hurt her and their baby!
Sliding it off, he got in bed with just his black dress shirt and light brown pants.
Bondita was lying on her back, breathing deeply as she slept.
One glance, and Anirudh couldn't help the smile that formed on his face. On top of that... his hormones were going crazy. He could feel the strong desire to close the gap between them and make love to her.
