He came forward slowly . His each step made her heart beat faster , it's sound drumming in her ears . She was so terrified how he would react . Now she's just numb with fear . 

He came to her front and raised his hand . 

She closed her eyes  ....in fear of what  is going to happen next . 

But the impact never came which she was expecting. Instead her eyes shoot up to him when she felt something silky on her shoulder. She realized he taken out his robe and put it on her shoulder. Her eyes turned watery.

He gestured her to lift her arms and he slipped the sleeves in. He tied the knot of the robe ,resting it on her stomach. She watched him unblinking.

" main aage se aisa kuch nahi pehnungi aur kal hi ghar jaakar apne kapde le ayungi " she said lowering her head and with small voice.

She sucked in breath when he lifted her chin with his index finger. His expression was stern but his eyes were intense.

" mujhe koi farak nahi padta tum kaise kapde pehenti ho " he replied hoarsely.

"k-kya? "

" mujhe koi farak nahi padta tum kaise kapde pehenti ho ,tum agar comfortable ho tum pehen sakti ho. Tumhara shareer hai, tumhaare kapde hain. Mujhe koi farak nahi padta tum kya pehenti ho ya nahi . Par yaad rakhna agar tumhaare kisi bhi kaam ke wajah se mere ghar walon ko thes nahi pahunchni chahiye " he said sternly leaving her.

"ji " she said lowering her head.

He could see the embarrassment still in her face , the fear and tears mixing together in her eyes . She blinked and they streamed down her cheeks and it broke his heart . He could feel his chest twisting into a painful knot . He sighed and slowly reached out and softly wiped her tears . And they streamed down again with his gesture . 

" main tumhe dara nahi raha hun " He said softly . 

She was little overwhelmed to hear his soft voice as he never use it to speak with her . That soft gentle tone of him almost made her love him even more . 

" tum insaan ho , tumhaare bhi sapne hain , icchaen hain . Aur apni icchaon ko pura karna ek insaan ka janmsidh adhikaar hai , maine tumhe kabhi mana nahi kiya kuch karne se . aur main hota kon hun tumhe mana karne wala . tumhe jaisa thik lage tum waisa kar sakti ho . par tum kaka ko bhi jaanti ho . woh baat ka patangad bana dete hai . unhe naye tour tarike hamesha galat lagte hain . woh dukhi ho jaate hain jab koi puraane riti riwaajon ko nahi maanta . Main bas unhe dukhi dekhna nahi chahta .  Waise bhi unhone bohot kuch dekha hai " he said the last line gloomily . 

Bondita almost let out a sob because it was the first time he was opening up to her about his past . she scrunched her nose and wiped her tears.

" main mm m-mujhe nahi pasand aise kapde. Bas majboori mein pehni hai. Main phir kabhi aise kapde nahi pehnungi........shotti " she said pinching her throat cutely.

Anirudh's lips twitched a little seeing her cuteness.

" waise itni raat ko yahan kya kar rahi ho tum ?" he asked crossing her arms.

She looked up and then lowered her head. " paani peene ayi thi aur yeh dekhne ayi thi ki aap aye ki nahi. Isse pehen rakha tha iss liye neeche aane mein darr lag raha tha . Jab itni der ho gayi to yeh saree odh ke chali aayi .....aur aapne chor samajh kar peeche se pakad liya. "

Anirudh flushed in embarrassment, his tip of the ears turning red. " Tumhe kitni baar mana kiya hai mere liye raat ko intejaar karne ko " he scolded her then shrugged. " jo hua so hua , jao jaakar so jao kal court jana hai " he said.
