Hari slowly tilts his head up to see Anirudh's clenched face and intense eye contact which pierced Hari's soul ."Patibabu...." Bondita mutters under her breath, imagining the chaos that might happen right now.

Hari : Aa...Aap kon?

Anirudh : Kaha ja rahe hain?

Hari tries to avoid Anirudh and tries to walk off but Anirudh again stood in front of him like a barrier and held his shoulder making Hari nervous. Hari froze as he felt Anirudh's cold hands on his shoulder and started to sweat.His body became stiff as he saw Anirudh's piercing eyes. Anirudh then curls a smile on his face and shakes his head from side to side.

Anirudh : Kosis bhi maat kijiyega......

Anirudh says in a warm yet chilling tone as he scans Hari from head to toe which made Bondita froze in her face too...unable to say anything to Anirudh.

Anirudh : Karmo se na sahi par kapdro se kisi achhe gharane ke lag rahe hain aap. Toh kisi achhe gharane ke logo ki tarha chup chap chai pijiye! Kisike baate yah kaamo main dakhalandazi maat kijiye...hmm?

Anirudh says in a merry tone and walks off. Never in her life Bondita thought her Patibabu's warm tone could scare anyone to this level.

Anirudh : Chalo Bondita!

Bondita : Ji!

Bondita nods and starts walking with Anirudh. Bondita didn't mutter a word and just kept staring at Anirudh.

Anirudh : Kya hua? Aise kyu dekh rahi ho?

Bondita : K...kuch nahi!

Anirudh : Thik hain.....

They stayed quiet as they walked. Both didn't understood what to talk about. Bondita walked with tilted head till she saw Anirudh's hand which had not 1 but 2 handi's of rosogolla. Bondita's eyes glittered in joy and a smile curled on her lips which Anirudh saw without even looking at her.

Anirudh: Badam wale rosogolla hain.

Bondita : Badam wale rosogolla!

Anirudh : Hmm...Ghar Jake Khana.

Bondita nods shyly while Anirudh softly smirks.

Anirudh: Waise ek baat bolu Bondita?

Bondita : Ji. Boliye...

Anirudh : Tumhari English bohut acchi hoti ja rahi hain.

Bondita : Thank you!

Bondita says as she feels a bit embarrassed. A smile curles on Anirudh's lips too. Nostalgia hits him hard. The Bondita he brought inside the Roy chowdhury mansion is growing up so fast. The one whom would fight the whole world for her answers without and hesitation now hesitates from embarrassment but still Shyness and Embarrassment can't hide her inner Tark se Fark lane wali Bondita.

At that moment a rickshaw stops infront of them.

Rickshaw puller : Babu, jaben? (Want to go somewhere?)

Anirudh nods then tells the address and helps Bondita get up on the rickshaw he then puts the groceries on the richshaw but they werent fitting properly.

Anirudh : Ek din main itni saari kharidari nahi karni cahiye thi.....

Bondita : Agar aj itni bazaar nahi karte na toh aj raat bhuke pet sona padhta hume.
