Chapter 5...
The opulent living room of the das haveli was beautifully decorated, the aroma of fresh flowers circulating in the surroundings. Every single object in that enormous living room was emitting a certain glow of its own. The room was filled with voices of people, relief and extreme happiness evident in them. They were exchanging smiles and gratitude to eachother. They truly wishing for the happiness of the new couple. There were some exceptions to this, obviously. In the center, just above the sparkling chandelier, sat the two and only unhappy souls in that hall. Sourabh and Bondita. It was their forced ashirbad today. They felt uneasy, not because it was their ashirbad, but because anirudh was no where to be seen. With each and every giggle of the guests, anxiety was rising up in Bondita. He said he would come.
" Where is he?" Bondita whispered to Sourabh. " I don't know!" Sourabh replied. With every passing second, dread was creeping up on them. What if he got stuck in a meeting or something! Both of them prayed in their minds for Anirudh to reach here soon. Bondita had never imagined, that she would ever, so desperately, wait for a man in her whole entire life.
" Samadhan ji! I think its time, we should start the rasam ." said Mrs Banerjee.
" Yes yes! We should not waste time." Rhimjhim Das replied.
Everyone stood near the two dreaded souls. Mrs Banerjee picked up a red dupatta and was about to place it on Bondita's head when everyone heard Anirudh's loud voice.
" Stop this rasam right now!" everybody got shocked at his words. Why was ANIRUDH ROY CHOWDHRY stopping his best friend's ashirbad rasam ?! Everyone which included the Das family, the Banerjee family and even the Roy Chowdhry brothers (Som and Batuk) were confused with his spontaneous entry, while Sourabh and Bondita sighed in relief.
" ANIRUDH!!!" Bondita jumped up from her place and ran towards him as soon as she heard his voice. Anirudh slightly held his arms for her, and Bondita embraced him tightly. Her left cheek was in contact with his chest. Anirudh wrapped his left hand around her waist and the right one was caressing her head.
Everyone who witnessed this act between them was now even more bewildered. They just watched them with wide eyes. All had the same thing going on in their minds. What the actual fuck? Bondita lifted her face to look at anirudh. " You finally came!!" she said. Both of them were smiling at each eachother, like lovers who had met after ages. Anirudh cupped her face with his right hand and planted a soft kiss on her forehead. Everyone's eyes were about to pop out from their sockets at this affectionate exchange. What the hell was going on!! Little did they know anirudh's next words were about to throw them off the edge.
" I had to come. How could I see my girlfriend getting married to someone else."
" GIRLFRIEND?!" everybody exclaimed in unison.
They both turned towards the bewildered group of people. " Yes, me and Bondita have been dating for a while now." Anirudh replied casually.
" That's why I didn't want to get married but u didn't listen to me once" Sourabh whispered to his mom faking anger but internally smirking to himself. He internally praised himself for his great idea. Their conversation still playing at the back of his head.

"Before I start you both will promise to not get pissed off at what Im going to say. And also don't try to gang up on me." Sourabh said with a low voice.
" What are you going to say that will be so offending to us?" asked Bondita while raising her eyebrows.
" Sourabh, this better not be anything foolish. You have already wasted half of my day. And I swear if-" Anirudh's warning was interrupted by Sourabh.
