{22}•Rᴇᴀᴅɪɴɢ A Bᴏᴏᴋ•

After the initial resistance from Trilochan, the patriarch of the Roy Chowdhury family, he eventually acquiesced to the union of Bondita and Anirudh. This marked the commencement of a new chapter for the family, as Bondita officially became Anirudh's wife and the esteemed elder daughter-in-law of the household. With this transition, a cascade of rituals unfolded, symbolizing the union of two individuals and the merging of their respective destinies.

In the aftermath of the marriage ceremonies, the dynamics within the Roy Chowdhury household underwent a transformative shift. Despite Trilochan's initial reservations, he, recognizing Bondita as Anirudh's wife, extended his acceptance and, consequently, the entire family's respect toward her elevated status as the elder daughter-in-law. This alteration in perception and recognition highlighted the profound impact that matrimonial alliances can have on familial structures.

The post-marriage phase is typically characterized by a myriad of customs and traditions. These rituals not only symbolize the sacred bond between the newlyweds but also serve as a foundation for their integration into the fabric of the family. From the exchange of vows to the performance of sacred rites, each ceremony holds significance, weaving a tapestry of familial unity and cultural continuity.

In essence, the events following Bondita and Anirudh's marriage are not merely a series of rituals but represent a pivotal juncture in the intricate tapestry of familial relationships. The acknowledgment and acceptance of Bondita as Anirudh's life partner not only fulfill the rites of matrimony but also redefine her role within the Roy Chowdhury family, fostering a sense of belonging and mutual respect among its members.

After the completion of the post-wedding rituals, Bondita gracefully entered Anirudh's study, holding a tray adorned with his favorite coffee. Anirudh and Kabir, engrossed in a discussion about Chandrachur, momentarily halted their conversation upon Bondita's arrival.

Observing the sudden pause in their dialogue, Bondita looked at them with a perplexed expression and inquired, "Kya hua? Mujh dekh kar baat karna baad kyu kar liya...?"

Kabir, glancing at Anirudh, responded nonchalantly, "Uhum.. kuch nahi bondu.. bas aise hi..."

However, Bondita's confusion only deepened, prompting her to press further, "Please batao na aise kya baat karthi ho jo mujh nahi bol sakthi."

Kabir, maintaining a light tone, explained, "Yaar yeh men's talk tu jaane ki kya karogye isliye nahi bata sakthi."

In a moment of frustration, Bondita retorted angrily, "Thik hai mat bato mujh jaana bhi nahi hai... huhh!"

She placed the coffee tray down with a hint of annoyance, prepared to leave the room.

However, Anirudh, seizing the opportunity, caught her hand and gently pulled her towards him. Unexpectedly, Bondita found herself in Anirudh's lap, causing a shocked expression to sweep across her face.

Bondita cast a glance at Kabir, who observed them with a sly smirk. Slowly, Anirudh lifted his hand, delicately holding Bondita's chin, redirecting her gaze towards him. He calmly stated, "Yaha kya dekh rahe ho, mere taraf dehko sweetheart."

Still in shock, Bondita responded, "Kya kar rahe ho aap? Yaha Kabir hai, chodiye mujhe." Despite her attempts to get up, Anirudh, holding her waist, thwarted her efforts. Bondita, narrowing her eyes, looked at him.

Anirudh remarked, "Haan, main dekh raha hoon yaha Kabir hai. Par sweetheart, aaj kal tum thoda zyada gusse mein lagti ho."

Widening her eyes, Bondita replied, "Aapko kya? Aap bataiye kariye na Kabir se. Main ne kaha aapko roka hai... per mujhe tho chodiye."

Anirudh chuckled, "Ahhh... I just love you, Sunshine. Aur yeh gusse wali Bondita, uff."

Bondita, blushing, looked at Anirudh when Kabir winked at her, further intensifying her embarrassment.
