Bondita's p.o.v

Love isn't something that I know... I haven't read or talked about it to anyone. Even Pati babu seemed uninterested towards the subject, probably the reason why his library never had much collections in them.

Serving the breakfast to everyone, I was thinking about the same and decided to go through the Shakespearean Novels and Keat's poems in Pati babu's collection, which I never had the interest to read before.

"Bondita! Kya kar rahi ho Bondita? Kahaan khoyi huyi ho?" Pati babu interrupted my thoughts and I realize I've been serving the curry to the table and not his plate.

"Woh maaf karna Pati babu galti se..." I trailed off.

"Dhyaan kaha hai tumhara?" he smirked and I rolled my eyes in response.

"Bondita mujhe khaane keliye kuch milega?" Sasur Ji interrupted us.

"Kya hua Sasur Ji? Apke saamne hi toh hai"

"Tumhe kya lagta hai? Mein iss ladki ke haat se bani huyi khaana khaungi?"

"Lekin Sasur Ji aj toh Laya ki pehli rasoyi hain..."

He stood up and turned to leave when KSJ interrupted

"Binoy! Gussa khaane par nahi lete. Khaane ka apmaan karna band karo aur khao"

"Da ap kyun -"

"Ab meri baat bhi nahi manoge tum?"

Sasur Ji sat down, muttering under his breath and started eating. Out of the corner of my eye, I can see Som dada reassuring Laya through his eyes. I smiled at the couple.

"Wah Laya Boudi! Khaana toh bohot acha bana hai" Batuk complimented.

I gasped in shock while Pati babu choked on his glass of water and started coughing violently. I immediately patted his head.

"Theek hai na ap?"

He nodded when his coughs slowed down in intensity.

"Kya bola tumne?" he asked between faint coughs to Batuk.

"Ki khana acha bana hai" Batuk frowned while replying.

"Nahi... Laya Boudi?" Pati babu smirked.

I chuckled and we both burst out laughing.

"Ismein hasne wali kon si baat hai? Bhai ki patni ko Boudi nahi toh aur kya bologe?" KSJ enquired irritated.

We suddenly stopped and nodded at him. Then again, we looked at each other and couldn't stop but burst out.

"Kya ho raha hai yahaan? Chayn se khane bhi nahi doge kya?" Sasur Ji shouted and we stopped again, sealing our emotions completely.

............................................................................

Laya and I were going through the groceries list when Bihari babu shouted for Pati babu, telling there was a letter for him. Everybody entered the living room when Pati babu received the letter and started reading it.

His eyes suddenly lit up and a hell of a smile appeared on his lips.

"Kya hua Anirudh? Bada khush nazar aaraha hai" Sasur Ji enquired.

Pati babu instantly looked up and searched for a face in the room.

"Kisko dhoond raha hai Anirudh?" KSJ asked.

His eyes stopped when he spotted me. His smile changed into a megawatt grin and he ran towards me. My eyes widened at his actions and before I could realize what was happening, he hugged me tightly, squeezing air out of me. My breathing hitched in my throat and my body went numb. A sudden wave of electricity ran down my spine. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw KSJ smiling with shock while Sasur Ji had his eyebrows raised, adjusting his spectacle. Laya and Som dada shared a blushed smile while Batuk gawked at us mouth wide open. Bihari blushed and looked down smiling while Koyli had her hand on her mouth.

My hands remained motionless at my sides, the list in one of them touched the floor.

Pati babu broke the hug and did the most embarrassing thing that I thought he will never do. He kissed me! Yes... He kissed me on my cheek and held my shoulder, shaking them violently. I could hear squeals and gasps from around us.

"Bondita!" he started crying "Bondita tum pass hogayiBondita... Tumne poore Tulsipur mein top ki hai. I'm proud of you Bondita. Tumnahi janti mein kitna khush hoon aj... Bondita tum jante hain iska matlab kya hai...Iska matlab hai tum ab ek Barrister ban sakti ho... Tum aage badh sakti hoBondita... Hamara sapna poora hone wale hai Bondita... Ham kaamyaab hone wale hai...Tum... Tum ruko mein... mein abhi aata hoon... Mujhe yeh baat sabse kehna hai... PooreTulsipur janenge ki meri Bondita ne top ki hai... Mein sabko bataakar aata hoon"he ran off towards the door while I remained breathless the entire time, my handon the spot where his lips touched not more than a minute ago.
