When Anirudh said he had an important case to study she tried to argue that what's wrong to stay inside room he said simply but also firmly that he had an important case to study he will study under moonlight and headed outside
He left outside and she felt disappointed. She still don't understand his mentality sometimes. No may be many times
Whenever she is in problem he will come running to her rescue but when they both are alone he won't pay much attention or...or may be pretending like that because his eyes speak something to her and his mouth speak something unsaid words to her . Which one to believe?
She sighed heavily and Intentionally so that he could hear it and sense her Angry towards him.
He just went outside and again came inside to her and asked her softly to call him if she is in need
Her eyes are glown when hearing this but reminding his cold shoulder immediately controlled herself and told seriously : it's ok bava ..no need of your help.. afterall you are a man and feels Disgusted to do all things for me .
He asked seriously furrowing his eyebrows: what do you mean Bondita?
She is already feeling cramps and pain in her belly and at her back . She sat on bed feeling irritated and holding stomach
When she held her stomach he came running to her and asked softly: are you feel more pain Bondita?
She just nodded and he went and brought hot water bag and asked her to keep near belly
I don't have energy bava. For nearly one hour grandma made me to stand and kept on reprimanding me as if I did crime. All my energy is drained out
He got worried and whenever she is in problem he can't think of anything else
He made her to lay down and he sat beside her on bed . He himself started pressing hot water bag on her tummy above her clothes but not looking at there - her body parts but only looking into her eyes with concern and probably with love and slight tears and his tears are moving her away.
She Also couldn't be mad at him for his past cold shoulder anymore
He whispered looking into her eyes : You can take your hand of mine and keep it wherever you feel pain. Because I don't know na ..only you better know where you are feeling pain and cramps and I will close my eyes
Oh ! His whispering voice is so lovely to her it started making her feel goosebumps all over her body
She simply nodded and started taking his hand at her back and front on her thighs.
Anirudh is carefully pressing it without letting his hands or fingers touch more but sometimes he also couldn't help that his right hand fingers and arm are brushing over her skin wherever she is taking. He just kept hot bag for nearly 15 mins
Her eyes are so lovely and very pure. It doesn't know the cruelty of this world .
He asked God : why did you take away her happy family bhagwan! That too in this crucial stage of her life where she need her parents love and guidance.
Her father is alive don't know if he could survive or not . Her mother is there but not in a condition to look after her. Even if she is highly illiterate and dependent also Pedanaana and Peddamma have taken care of her and Bondita. But she is highly ignorant and behaved like moron opted to chose with the one who are ogling at her daughter.. heights of ignorance and stupidity.
Sorry Attaya! I can't help you because I can't let you make Bondita suffer like this . To save her I was left with no option than to kidnap her and kill her identity there
Even my mother also went away when I was in teenage but I have managed with the help of Pedanaana and Peddamma.
But here I can't even send her to them and make them involve in my kidnapping plan of Bondita. Only I should face the repercussions not anyone
She wrapped her arms around him and placed her head on his shoulder . She felt like nothing is safe than to stay in his shoulder in his arms and...in his embrace
He was pressing at her back and His hands started trembling she recognised and asked: what happened bava? Are you not feeling well? Why are you trembling (and looking at his face) why are you sweating
Haa ..ha... nothing and wiped off the sweat ..Are you ok now - he asked her
She nodded sadly as she know that he will go now he went and gave fever tablet and made her take it
He covered her with duvet and asked her to sleep and told good night with a smile. She also pretended smile
While leaving the room another traumatic incident hit his memory perhaps the worst of all pains that two of his male friends and that girl and who pulled a nasty prank on him in London during their weekend trip - a very dirty prank on him still those REMNANTS of wound is still left
Even though he also know it's a prank but deep inside its true too and ofcourse he wanted to share it with Mini at that time because he only thought that she is is his fiancee and wanted to openly discuss about it with her before marriage and that's why he planned to go to US but alas the situations made them separated
That day how much he was scared only he know it and even his bestie that monkey Satish also know the prank but still whenever he brings the topic he made him swear on him that forget it you won't discuss with anyone and he is pairing up with Bondita and that is what eating him inside to make him ease the tension inside him
But how could he forget it and move on ? The one who is going to suffer is his wife only na who is going to come Into his life
This is the one and only the major reason for why he can't let any woman come inside his life
And Bondita....no way ...she is very small very precious for him ..a true friend and he can't give more place than that to this purest soul of the earth
Recollecting what all she told with Pedanaana and Peddamma those days he told in mind: I am sorry Bondita.... so sorry'. May be I am not eligible to you. And you will also get scared to see me like that. We can't spoil our pure relationship like that.
He told sadly to himself and came out to sleep outside
She opened her eyes and saw that he is sleeping but mosquitoes are biting him.
She shooked her head and came and took out one coil and lit it and also took out another thick blanket and spread on him thinking that when he himself pretended that he is An old man why don't he sleep inside . Now who are there to judge them ? But still this bava is impossible
She then carressed his hair and went inside with blush thinking that he had love but also don't want to express it I will also see how long will you do it and slept inside
Next day Morning he woke up first and saw that he was comfortably covered with thick blanket and coil is burning in final stage and wondered how it came over him. Ofcourse immediately he understood that she only did this for him.
He went inside and saw that her blanket is thrown down and she is sleeping in disheveled state that her night shirt came out .
He smiled and shooked his head and covered her properly and went to do his works
He has already kept a separate partition in the room thinking that if whenever Bondita comes she will use this partition for her personal works .
He was in so hurry that he want to change before Bondita wakes up
He just started wearing kurta pajama for his morning yoga and by that Bondita just opened her eyes hazily and looked at surroundings
Her gaze fell on him who is in payjama and struggling to get into his kurta as he was in hurry he forgot to open all buttons to put it and he is groaning that why is it not coming down .did he put weight
She didn't understand from outside that for what he is struggling and went towards the partition side to him and understood the situation
She giggled and unbuttoned the remaining two buttons and pulled down the white kurta.
He looked at her from his messy hair and asked : you...you woke up and felt embarrassed when she is giggling at him like that
.you only waked me up - She giggled by pressing her mouth with hand and blushed inside to see him like that
In messy hair he really looks like her classmate age ..no one can say that he was running 23 years of age
B...Bondita! You - he told in mumuring sound and felt embarrassed infront of her.
Why are you in so hurry ? Daily are you struggling like this only - she asked keeping her hands on waist
He gave an embarassing smile and shooked his head . Before they speak there came a knock at the door
Thammudu - Narayana is calling and knocking the door
Both got alerted and he asked her to use washroom he will take him out
She sighed and prayed God by folding hands in air and looking up and told with impatient voice : why is time not running?
Hey Krishna! Please finish these 3 years 9 months fastly and make me 18 years soon I want to marry him and take care of him and went to get ready
____
Anirudh started adjusting his moustache and the turban to his head recalling Vaasudeva family condition and in short time how nicely he and they bonded well
All these days he had won Narayana and his wife heart gently by talking their generation talks and sensitively reminded them that what exactly is written in holy scriptures and the scientific reason Behind every custom
Ofcourse he also learnt from his Peddamma and Pedanaana only even though slight difference of opinions are there but they too agree with him at the end of the day
Narayana is also mesmerized when siva recalled olden days of their state and culture and the living conditions around 1970s time period.
He then sensitively pointed out that women are not weak if we men only can do anything then why bhagwan had given the greatest opportunity to women and that too the women who came from outside family to carry out legacy
Their talks slowly started impacting old generation couple mindset and gradually started Impacting Vaasudeva too
In their talks he learnt about Geeta their granddaughter - daughter of their late daughter who eloped from the wedding they have fixed forcely for her just because she received love letter from her classmate.
Grandma created commotion and insisted that she should get married in short period and until then she was house arrested
Geeta couldn't accept this forced marriage and ran away from house on the day of wedding and they jumped into conclusion that she had eloped with the man who had written letters for her.
He was infact dealing with them sensitively to make them agree to search for their granddaughter but before that happen only previous day he got into tiff with them . But however he couldn't cut off ties with them not only that he was dependent on Vaasudeva as legal guardian for Bondita but also for the sake of his bestie Satish and his happiness.
He know the hidden frustration behind Satish sarcasm against elders - it's because his mother is ill treated and somewhere for Geeta too because Anirudh had a strong doubt that Geeta is Satish secret love and as a friend he wants to make everything fine
___
He opened the door and Narayana looked at him and Anirudh bent and took blessings. At his back Satish is there
Holding his cane he kept hand on Anirudh head and latter raised and asked Satish with eyes what's the matter
While Narayana is thinking how to start talking. He wanted his younger brother back and bond with them and well but hesitating to apologise
Satish also signaled at his grandpa back that he came to patch up by signalling as hugging
Anirudh grasped and asked him softly to join for pranayamam exercise here only
Grandpa: are you not angry on me thammudu (chote Bhai) ?
Anirudh smiled and told : you are calling me lovingly thammudu and whatever be the name of our relationship I won't carry any grudges.
Just then Bondita came out of washroom and heard his words outside and thought: you won't keep grudges against anyone except me ..huh
Anirudh: Satish ! ask your brothers also to come
Satish: They have exams.. tatagaru
Bondita giggled inside and took towel to bath .
ANIRUDH glared seriously and asked him to sit and do pranayamam and yoga with us then
After a While they have done pranayamam and doing asana narayana raised his doubt that belonging to our generation how can you allow that girl Bondita that menstruating girl in your house .
Anirudh felt angry but calmed himself and then explained the process and told that isn't it not the seed of universal growth.
He explained from epics that the main intention is for women to let them rest in a month for few days and in these days they should be taken care properly with love not to humiliate them.
Proper sanitisation ventilation facility should be maintained not that they should be locked in dark rooms or store rooms
Last words ANIRUDH said seriously and it hit Narayana
He told as giving explanation: That's all ladies matter and my wife will be better knowing about all this
Anirudh : There is nothing of ladies matter and gents matter in this world.
We men and women both should know about eachother
Bondita from inside bathroom: I also want to know about you ...but what can I do? I can't say it loudly also
Anirudh: men should also know how a women's body works what all troubles they face not with dirty internations but with pure intentions.. because that woman only will give birth to us will be our sibling daughter
Satish: And wife too .Am I right Siva tatagaru? And winked to his friend pressing his smile
Anirudh thrown a small pebble and asked him to do seershasana
Satish reluctantly started making seershasana to the nearest wall
Narayana: I don't know when will this monkey fellow mend his ways ?
Anirudh: it may be the hidden frustration of being lonely
Narayana: lonely !? When was that fellow lonely? He had gotten such a big family to throw tantrums and mock us
Anirudh: what I mean is ....It's the time to get his marriage done and raised his eyebrows to his friend and made fun of him throwing sarcastic smile
Satish couldn't maintain seershasana pose and slipped out
Anirudh suggested his grandpa: why don't you start searching alliances for him ? His satires will also get reduced
Satish is shooking his head to his friend and glaring seriously
Narayana: some alliances are already coming and they are under observation..we will settle him quickly. Thankyou Thammudu .
My stomach is heavy. For today it's enough. I will go and he left
Satish then started chasing Anirudh on terrace asking: don't you want me to live peacefully Ani?
Anirudh who is running thrown satire: You will live more peacefully after you get married sati? (Pet name of Satish)
Always you only can throw satires. Cant I do it ?
They both settled at terrace panting hard.
Anirudh: one day you have to get married na ? What wrong did I suggest? And why are you getting angry when this topic is brought? How many times you are doing it to me and in return did I get angry! No na
Just then Bondita started revising topics and her focus shifted on Studies
Outside at steps Satish smile is dropped: I don't have confusions like you . I have clarity on everything and especially on the one whom I want to marry.
After a few seconds silence he told silently: I am in love with someone and like you I don't want to run away from her but the situations only made her run away from house
Anirudh: if I am not wrong is she Geeta?
Satish eyes are widened and asked : How do you know ? I have never expressed about it
Anirudh: I felt it from your eyes . So I am right that ..
Satish : hmmm he simply confirmed without any expression and again told with a sad smile : now what's the use of thinking all this ?
She had ran away from house . Don't know where she was ..might be working somewhere might be married someone..or ...even don't know if she was alive..
Tears Started rolling down from Satish eyes .
Anirudh hugged his friend and said : Don't talk negatively.. she will be alive ..if your love is true she will come back also .
Meanwhile we will search for her.
Satish: It happened long back ago that too when we are in London . How can we search her now ?
Anirudh: don't talk as pessimistic person. It doesn't even suit your personality. We will enquire and find her
Just then Bondita opened the door and called : Bava I am feeling hungry. Shall I start preparing breakfast or will you do it ? I have to go to school
Satish Murmured: Your madam command had come from inside
Anirudh : wait madam..(Satish giggled) I mean wait Bondita..I will only prepare. Meanwhile you rest .
Satish told that he will also go to get ready for the day and left from there.
ANIRUDH started making dosa and serving it in her plate and she is eating.
He asked : how are your friends?
Bondita: My friends...Avanti and Sarat are good ..and recently I have made friendship with another two girls - Chitra and Smitha .
In starting days they didn't mingle with me well but recently we bonded well
Anirudh: good.. what about your friend...that girl .. Deepika? And served another dosa in her plate
Bondita told seriously: I have cut off friendship with her
Just then cooker whistle came at a time and he got alarmed and slowed down and asked : why like that ? She is also your friend only right. When you gave chance to New friends that doesn't mean that you should lose old friends na Bondita
Bondita: But at the same time friends should also understand their limits - what to talk what not to talk
Anirudh started preparing item for her and told : hey come on ! Only friends can be open to eachother. Will there be unnecessary formalities in between friends also ?
Bondita: she is intentionally started talking in such a way that disturbing my mind
Anirudh: what did she talk?
Bondita kept quiet thinking that I can't tell you this.
He again asked but she told that it's nothing. Make it fast . I am running late
She packed her box and he dropped her in school .
When dropping it is observed by Deepika from distance and she got angry on Anirudh for using her and he was being nice to her . She felt like she was made fool
She waved hand and He took u turn and. Started coming back.
Deepika intentionally kept hands and stood in front of his vehicle to stop him.
ANIRUDH gave sudden brake and asked: Deepika ! What is this ? Why are you standing in middle of road ? It's not good
Deepika started her ranting: I know ...I know what is good and bad . But you only don't know .
Anirudh: what did I do ?
Deepika: what not have you done ? You spoiled my friendship with Bondita and here you're enjoying with her
Anirudh is looking around worriedly and asked her to reduce her voice and observe what kind of language are you using .
Deepika accused raising her voice : you are only looking at my voice but not my pain...see Bondita is the only one who used to be very friendly with a strong headed girl like me .
Her friendship gives me lot of soothing for me and because of you that friendship is also gone. Just because of your dirty ideas only she is not talking to me .
Anirudh: That means she didn't come into your words for even once.
Deepika: NOT ONCE SHE DIDN'T EVEN PAY ATTENTION TO MY WORDS. SHE CHANGED HER BENCH AND HAD GOTTEN NEW FRIENDS NOW.
Anirudh sighed heavily and shooked his head
She again turned and told : After seeing you both together in bike how much my blood boiled I can't even tell.
I feel like I should go and tell everything to Bondita but she won't believe me . Thats why I am telling you now itself: If you have any problem you deal with her but don't drag me and our friendship in this and left from there seriously
Anirudh sighed and left from there thinking what to do
Deepika tried to talk to Bondita to patchup but latter is not responding and giving short and cold replies.
Just then their teacher came and divided students into batches for their project work in physics chemistry and biology subjects .
Avanti Deepika Bondita Abhijoy and some other students came into one batch.
Teacher strictly told that their project reports of all experiments are to be recorded from time to time and should be submitted finally in March month just before board exams
They all nodded.. Deepika came and told happily: now you can't avoid me Bondita. See we belong to one batch
Bondita: I also don't want to avoid you Deepu. But you're only forcing me to do that
Deepika: fine sorry next time no harsh words from my mouth..pakka pakka strong cement oriented promise
They both laughed and patched up again
Other side Anirudh and satish both met one lady police officer and gave Geeta details to find about her details.
She told that she will do her level best.
Days are passing by. After her periods this time grandma herself called her back to come and her harshness is little reduced
Bondita is still getting letters now and then in her private time which is irking her
She shared with Deepika and Avanti and they took one lady teacher (who had good impression on Bondita) help to trace out if he is from their school.
The lady teacher enquired from boys and checked their handwriting which didn't match . While enquiring they learnt that ANIRUDH giving warning to Abhijoy . He also revealed that her bava is winning influence in one of the major political party
Bondita is surprised to listen this and also got suspicious that why didn't her bava share this with her and when he is financially strong enough why is he struggling in two room house
Teacher suggested to speak with her elders and sort out the matter or does she want to take this to notice of management board
Bondita : No need teacher just want to know if he was from school or not. That's it and not more than else . Infact he is not troubling me but just writing genuinely only
Teacher : are you sure Bondita? It's better if you take this seriously else it will affect your future.
Bondita: ok madam I will discuss with my family and take quick decision
Lady police officer couldn't trace out Geeta whereabouts and said sorry may be she might have left the city
Satish felt sad listening to this and ANIRUDH consoled him while coming out
Satish also adviced back : That's why even I also wanted to suggest you that recognise the people value when they are near by else it will be too late . Like me atleast you don't do the same mistake.
I have an important work I will meet you later and satish left from there wiping his tears
Anirudh also left with tears thinking: don't I know Satish but what to do ? I can't hurt her with my love and my ..desires.
Rather than this it's better to stay Away from her
_____
Bondita brought the topic of love letters infront of ANIRUDH again' and asked him to enquire who is that stupid eveteaser?
Anirudh choked and asked : why are you that serious Bondita? A boy have sincerely proposed you . He is not harrassing you na
Bondita: even those letters are disturbing me alot bava . It is making me tremble
Anirudh bite his tongue inside and apologized her in his mind
Bondita : see bava! My board exams are coming. You also know from last few months I was preparing sincerely for exams. But whenever I see these letters and someone calling me dear darling ..I can't take it .
Without me giving lenience how can anyone call me like that ? So please enquire it
He agreed . She started studying and just then phone rang and he lifted the phone. It's Deepika from other side who requested to send Bondita to their house to help in project report
By sensing nervousness in her voice Anirudh stopped bondita and took her to Deepika house
Deepika expressed that she couldn't understand some experiments so she couldn't finish the report
Bondita told that she will help and they both sat to work
Deepika father requested Anirudh to let Bondita stay here so that my daughter also finish the work else out of tension she will spoil the complete work
That day Bondita divided the work and both successfully completed by doing night out . In between she clarified all the doubts and scolded Deepika that this all happened because you kept all the doubts to yourself and ruptured this much
Deepika felt guilty and decided to open up about Anirudh to her
Next day they submitted project reports and attended their viva exams and successfully came out
Deepika hugged Bondita and thanked her for helping her. Bondita said with a smile: it's ok. Finally we are left with board exams only shall we have something from cafeteria today?
They both went and got snacks for them .
Deepika: Bondita! I have something to tell you.
Bondita: what is that ?
Deepika: I will tell but please promise me that you won't get mad at me
Bondita: That means are you going to tell any bitter news to me ? Wait are you going to speak bitterly against me my bava? Am I right
Precap: Deepika tricked Anirudh and made Bondita listen to his words
