It's been one week since their kiss in her cabin, and both of them are ignoring each other; or you could say Bondita is ignoring Anirudh. Anirudh tried every way to communicate with her after their kiss, but she always comes up with some excuse to ignore him.

Anirudh thought maybe she regretted their kiss and felt guilty, but if only he knew that she was scared about his reaction. He once labeled their first kiss as a mistake, and now she thinks, what if he wants to label their kiss as a mistake again?

Now, even after two weeks, they still haven't had any communication.

Bondita was busy reading one of her patient's files when Shubhra came inside the room. She saw her and closed her eyes in annoyance. Her emotions had already been high for the past three weeks, and she really didn't want to deal with Shubhra now.

"Are you busy, dear?" she asked, sitting beside her on the bed.

"No, Mom. Do you want anything?" Bondita asked, forcing a smile.

"You know, we went to meet your father yesterday, and I am sorry to say, but I think his health is deteriorating day by day. I could notice it from his eyes."

Shubhra showed fake concern, which didn't go unnoticed by her.

"I knew it! I told him to take his medicines on time, but..."

Bondita sighed tiredly.

"It's difficult to handle such a big company alone; he is getting old too. Moreover, you and Anirudh are also not interested in business. Otherwise, he could take a rest. You know it would be good if there were someone who could handle the business after him."

Shubhra intentionally tried to provoke her.

"Hmm... You're right, Mom, but there is no one in my family who could take over our business," Bondita said sadly.

"You know I've someone who is perfect for it," Shubhra said.

"Really? Who is it?" Bondita asked, smiling.

"It's your brother-in-law, Batuk Roy Chowdhury. He has many companies in London," Shubhra replied.

"Batuk? But Anirudh never told me about his brother," Bondita asked, confused.

"That's because of the issues between Anirudh and us; otherwise, he loves his brother a lot. Think wisely, dear. It's better to give the family business to someone from the family itself than to give it to some strangers," Shubhra said, holding Bondita's hand.

"You're right, Mom. Don't worry; I will talk to my father about it soon," Bondita replied while Shubhra danced inside, thinking her plan worked.

As soon as Shubhra left the room, Bondita called someone.

"I want every detail about Batuk Roy Chowdhury within 24 hours, each and every detail."

......

At night,

"I never knew you had a brother, or should I say stepbrother," Bondita said as soon as she saw Anirudh entering the room.

Anirudh looked at her in shock.

"How do you know about him? Who told you about him?"

Anirudh asked, confused.

"Your mom...."

"Don't call that woman my mom! She does not deserve that name," Anirudh said furiously.

"Fine... I won't, but can you please tell me about him?"

Bondita asked him again.

"Huh... Batuk Roy Chowdhury is an illegitimate child of my father. Mr. Roy Chowdhury is not some saint; he had his fair share of fun before his marriage, and unfortunately, he got one of his hookups pregnant, and the result was Batuk Roy Chowdhury.

But no one in the family was ready to accept the baby, and Mr. Roy Chowdhury got married to Mrs. Roy Chowdhury. Soon, she was pregnant, and thought about all the properties of Roy Chowdhury's would be given to me as the only heir, but the plan backfired when I left the house forever.

They had no other option, and they accepted Batuk as their son, but he is different—different from all the Roy Chowdhury's. He refused to take the surname of the Roy Chowdhury's or anything related to them. All the companies he has now, he earned just like me.

You know, when I had no one with me and I was living like a beggar, I realized how much he might have suffered throughout his life. Growing up without his father and losing his mother at a really young age.

He doesn't hate me, at least not after he got to know what Roy Chowdhury's did to me and Mini. Before, he used to be rude; even now, he is a little bit rude, but he does care for me. He is the only person whom I can call my own family... including you."

He said looking into her eyes, bondita felt her heart racing.

"So if not Roy Chowdhury then what is his actual name?" She asked curiously

"His actual name is his Batuk Rose Smith" he replied

"Rose?"

"Hmm... It's his mother's name, so he kept it as his middle name" he replied

"No wonder they were not able to find any information about him" she thought

"Btw do you know where is he now?" Bondita asked

"Probably somewhere in the world. He loves to go on vacation a lot." Anirudh replied while bondita nodded

"Is he married?" She asked

"Marriage and he! Its impossible! He is a man who stays away from women like plague." He replied sarcastically

"But what if he has someone he loves" she asked

"Then there will be no one happier than me in this world." Anirudh replied smiling slightly

"But why are you suddenly asking me all these?" He asked confusingly

"Nothing... I was just curious when Mrs Roy Chowdhury told me about your brother." She replied

Bondita looked at him who was already looking at her, she gulped.

"I am feeling sleepy, good night." She said and was about to lay on bed when she heard

"I want to talk about the cabin moment"
