Hello friends, very sorry for updating late ff. I nearly cancelled 2-3 ffs and finally came up with this. Sorry in Advance if you feel ackward anywhere. Please apologize me.
Komali bidaai is done and she with her husband had bid farewell to Anirudh Bondita, Bhatuk Tapur. Anirudh felt that his own sister is leaving to sasural and shed tears. He asked Dhananjay to take care of her and latter promised him that she has become his heart beat and will always take care of her.
Shomik, Rimjhim also bid farewell to their daughters and told that they will leave for Krishnanagar on that day itself. Bondita and Tapur felt emotional, but Shomik consoled them and told them that they will meet in oushtmangla rasam after 2 days.
Anirudh and Bhatuk assured Shomik his daughters happiness and took their blessings.
Bondita and Tapur have done grihapravesh as Roy Chowdhary bahus officially . Catherine and Sampoorna jointly welcome them. They had taken blessings from Trilochan, Binoy, Catherine, Somnath and sampoorna, Bihari and koyli too. Later they came into Durga maa in mandir and took her blessings.
After some rasams, Anirudh is feeding Bondita roshogullas, sampoorna came and took the brides to their room stating that kaalraatri rasam is on that day, not at all permitted to see eachother.
Sampoorna adviced her devars to select best sarees for their new brides as the next day will be Bou bhat of Bondita and Tapur for which their husbands have to gift sarees for them.
Anirudh selected Chatak gulabi colour saree and anklets of gold colour which he specially bought for her with pearls necklace for Bondita whereas Bhatuk selected yellow colour saree, ornaments for Tapur.
Grooms and brides missing eachother staring at moonlight. Bhatuk tried to sneak into Tapur's room but soon caught by Trilochan and he is forcefully sent into his room. Suddenly Bondita started throwing chits from opposite block to Anirudh of stating their loneliness. He recollected how they used to communicate throwing chits on each other in her XI std when sumati restricted Bondita (after marriage annulment) to stop talking to him. He too sent chits that today their new phase in life has started , willing to enjoy the moonlight with her. She felt shy and told that next 24 hours they will have their private time. He told that after 6 hours only because there is no rasam of kaalsubah so he can happily meet his patni Devi from tomorrow morning if she permits him.she asked why does he want to take her permission. He told that if she doesn't permit he will not take lenience because of the reason they got married. If she permits him then only he will come near to her. She blushed reading it and wrote that he doesn't need her permission too to meet her. He felt happy and smiled blushingly by reading it.
____________________________________________
Next day morning, Bondita came out from washroom after her bath. Anirudh came to wish her good morning with 🌹🌹. She is excited to see him early morning. He told that kaalraatri is finished.
She smiled at him with blush and requested him to fill her hairline with vermillion and he did so as per her request. He also adorned her with the anklets he bought for her . She felt emotional at that moment recollecting how unwillingly removed her suhagan Nishan after their marriage annulment, how he became a stranger to her without a proper name for their relationship.
Anirudh recognising her state of mind asked her not to remember any bitter memories in this happy moments.
Bou baat function and bashu beeke rasam has been done successfully. Anirudh and Bhatuk have gifted their wives the sarees and ornaments they have selected on previous day.
Bondita and Tapur cooked favourite food of their husbands and impressed everyone. Their grooms insisted that they should join lunch with them and not to eat after them. They felt hesitant , Trilochan too agreed to join their husbands.
After lunch, as they still have time in evening for suhaagraat Bondita went to their new study room cum office room specially for Anirudh ( clients and Bangal khabar office editor will meet him there) to prepare for her final year syllabus. Anirudh felt proud of her that she balances everything and now turned up for her studies.
At the same time, Bangal khabar chief editor Mukesh came to, wish Anirudh Bondita for their married life . Anirudh introduced Mukesh to Bondita and Mukesh told that he started the Bangal khabar newspaper with values, and he want to inspire everyone. He told that British officers are against his newspaper and they want to shut his press, if anything happens to him, I wish Anirudh to continue this press responsibility after him.
Anirudh stopped him not to say inauspicious words like that, after his late mentor Surender Chatterjee I found those values in you ( Mukesh). You should be safe and I am always ready to offer my help in maintaining press responsibility with you.
Immediately Mukesh had handed over legal papers to Anirudh stating that it is a will stating that after him Bangal khabar chief editor will be you Anirudh Roy Chowdhary and only you can carry the legacy as his responsibility with dedication, ethics and morals.
Anirudh hesitated for this but Bondita encouraged him to take the responsibility. He told that " Bondita, this cannot be fair. It will be better if any of his blood relatives or any other person who have more passion than me for country's freedom should be given this responsibility, but not me. If his relatives or his children come to know they may feel that I have taken advantage of Mukeshji. I will feel ackward and stoop low in my own eyes. I can offer my journals in his paper and ready to do any help but not with taking power."
But Mukesh is not ready to take back the papers and this argument went for couple of minutes.
Bondita suggested Anirudh " you pay him money as an investment so that no one can raise finger on you now or in future. You have the capacity to run this paper honestly alongwith Mukeshji apart from your barristry practice. It is not the point of price for a precious paper media like Bangal Khabar, but it is for your satisfaction. You can handle well if power is there alongwith responsibility.Please don't say no."
Anirudh agreed, while Mukesh is shooking his head as no.
Turning to Mukesh, Bondita said: please accept his investment so that there won't be problem to both of you from any side in future also. It is not a price but a commitment and dedication of my husband to Bangal Khabar.
Mukesh appreciated Bondita's barristry skills and Anirudh admired her with smile. However Mukesh told that he will use the money given by Anirudh for freedom fighters welfare and Anirudh told that he will type another set of legal papers as partnership agreement . Mukesh accepted and he left.
He gave the papers to Bondita and she congratulated him for being the owner of Bangal Khabar. Later she continued her studies, he continued with his new article and some cases for another 3 hours and it became evening.

Sampoorna and Catherine came and took her for evening aarti. After taking aarti, Trilochan blessed Bondita and Tapur asked them to get ready as there will be a small puja before their phool sojja/ suhaagraat rasam. They left to get ready.
Anirudh and Bhatuk are getting ready in their joint room whereas Bondita and Tapur are getting ready in their joint room which they shared before marriage.
The 4 are lost in their thoughts. Trilochan came to Anirudh and Bhatuk room and personally asked Anirudh to start looking Bondita as his wife and they should give heir within an year.
Anirudh told that "kaka, I consider Bondita as my wife , my life but at the same time please don't pressurise us for children. I am not against the idea of having children. They will come when time comes. Carrying children is not the only parameter to measure our love. They are important part of life but only by giving birth to them cannot judge husband and wife."
Trilochan started arguing with Anirudh that you are always worried about her education and still talking as if she is a 12-13 years girl.
Anirudh said " No kaka, it is not like that. Why do you elders always give targets. I know and clearly see that Bondita is grown up and we will have a happy married life. Children will also come ...I am only telling that just don't give pressure."
Somnath who just came listened to this conversation called his father that pandit has come. Trilochan told Somnath "I understood that you came in defense of your brother and want to take me away."
Somnath: Baba, there were many years that you and Binoy kaka always used to worry about Anirudh's future. Atleast now you relax. Bondita had returned back to his life as his wife and they both love each other. Now you need not worry about anything. They will become husband and wife in all means and parents also. Just relax. Don't spoil his mood .
Trilochan convinced and left with Somnath. Anirudh and Bondita are feeling excited as well as nervous of how to proceed about it. They are thrilled that they will share the room and blushed.
Pandit ji has done with puja and couples are sent into their rooms.
____________________
Anirudh and Bondita are excited and as well as nervous too. He saw her sitting with veil on bed. He came to her and called 'Bonditaa...'
Bondita: hmmm.
Anirudh: why don't you show me your face?
Bondita: It is a tradition that you should lift my veil (with smile and blush in her voice)
Anirudh: Acha, toh theeke ( he lifted her veil)
But Bondita placed a pot and stick under veil , which is representing girl sitting as bride with veil on bed. He is shocked and started shouting & searching for her down the bed and besides bed everywhere "Bondita! Bondita! Where are you?"
Bondita comes laughing behind and he started chasing her. She came into balcony which is attached to their room and he caught her hand from back .
He came near her, pulled down her veil from head, cupped her cheeks and Praised her beauty as " I am able to see my beautiful chand in another Chand light''
They are lost in each other for a while breathing heavily due to running as well as excitement.
Anirudh ( in husky voice): Feeling scary
Bondita: No, I am not scared, want to sit under moon light with you
He agreed and they both sat there besides eachother on floor leaning on a pillar. He asked ' Can I take you closer to me?' she nodded as yes with blush. He brought his legs together near his chest and made Bondita to lean on his lap facing him. He started to carress her hair and asked her opinion about married life.
Moonlight Falling on her face which is increasing her beauty. She is lost herself in his eyes which is making him feel more happy and enjoy her admiring looks, while her (& his too) heartbeat is increasing. He called her for 2-3 times and she came into senses. He teased her that where she has lost. She touched his cheeks lovingly and told in your eyes. She hid her face in his chest and told that now she can happily look into his eyes and stay with him forever and without any hesitation or fear that someone may embarass or insult her or judge her . He wrapped his hands around her back tightly and told that 'Yes, we both can admire and love eachother without any hesitation. We can no more suppress our feelings.'
Anirudh asked 'Bondita, from 2 years in your holidays I am asking you to attend marriage functions of Brinda, renu , Mona and all girls from purana basti, Tulsipur, right!?'
She said 'Yes, you insisted me to participate in all rituals , right from ashirwad rasam to post marriage rituals in their in laws house ( with a huff in her voice) and forcefully made me to stay there till all rasams are completed. You don't have idea how much I missed you at that time'
Anirudh chuckled and teased her 'what to do Bondita? My friend is rejecting all the love Letters and proposals from outside. To put you some knowledge about marriage and married life in your brain your sakhababu has forcefully sent you.'
Bondita pouted her cheeks and turned her face. He giggled and touched her cheeks, stating that 'These are my gulab roshogullas which are more sweeter than your roshogullas.'
She blushed but immediately told : very bad idea Patibabu, do you know in our society elder and experienced women mostly used to suggest only to endure pain and co operate what their husbands do in suhaagraat. So far I haven't met anyone talking positively and encouraging about it.
Moreover why should I get knowledge about this from outside when my Patibabu himself is a shikshak babu to me. You only teach me everything.
Anirudh asked "It means in all marriages they only taught brides to endure pain or let husband do whatever he want wife should not oppose it. Is it what happening ?"
She nodded as yes and also told "yes, this is what they are teaching. They used to tell bangles will break, anklets will break and ..'
Anirudh : and!?
Bondita : bed will break.
Anirudh: 😲😲. No it only happens if husband is harsh on his wife. But a true loving husband can never be harsh on his wife. ( he almost shouted as he got offended by the old women words and felt guilty infront of Bondita, gave explanation )
He placed his hand on his forehead. She told with a little smile and hold his hands by seeing his condition that " just like you never hurt me and always comfort me. Right!? (He felt relief and smile came on his lips, nodded as yes) Now did you understand it. That's why I felt very ackward to listen their talks. (Wrapping her hands around his neck) if other unmarried girls listen their talks they will surely lose interest or get scared by listening the name of marriage. but I recollected your caring nature, and felt that they might be wrong because of ignorance.
Anirudh: sorry Bondita, it's my fault that I should have guessed what society thinks of these rasams. Thank god, you didn't get scare of their words. By the way you ...you...really don't have any idea about it? Atleast you didn't read any novels or watched dramas.'
Bondita huffed and told "without you why will I go to dramas alone or with any others. Yes I have read only one novel which has this kind of intimacy between a man and woman which my school fiend Sanghavi had sent through post as she used to read in her free time , but .. I couldn't read it completely and kept aside in store room of our old house."
He asked 'why?'
Bondita : After reading few pages, my situation has become too bad. So I gave up the idea of reading those novels .
Anirudh: what happened? You felt ashamed or disgusted of it
Bondita: no, it's not like that. Leave it Patibabu.
Anirudh: please tell me Bondita. In teenage everyone will have curiousity to learn about sexual desires. There is nothing wrong in it . I want to know what do you think of ...sex . I promise you that I won't judge you or you will not stoop in my perception. You are no less than a goddess to me. Don't feel shame or embarrassment infront of me. Please.! ( His voice definitely has magic, she loves his voice equally in both situations like when he shouts on her and when he appease her.)
Bondita felt shy and asked him to close eyes and not to open or talk in between so that she will tell him.. He has done so and she whispered " I couldn't stop myself drowning in your thoughts and dreams. I felt goosebumps all around my body and different kind of sensations below my abdomen, my heart weight and heart beat is also increased. I personally felt that my blood became warm. Only my pillow and...(kept quiet for few seconds) your photo knew my feelings because only those 2 things became tight in my embrace and listen my heartbeat. I couldn't eat or sleep properly for few days. Felt very shy to come infront of you . Infact you also worried at that time if I have any health issues or facing trouble with anyone ( he recollected those incidents and a bit smile came in his lips) Although I said no, you have enquired in college, forcefully took me to lady doctor too. If this went on , you will easily catch it . So with much difficulty I kept aside that book, and decided not to focus on this topic until you propose me.
Anirudh opened his eyes and asked her to close her eyes. He is completely overwhelmed by her confession and kissed her lips. She embraced him with blush.
He asked her ' So how do you want us to proceed in this matter? Whatever you say I will agree. Because your happiness, feelings, comfort and pleasure are my top priorities than any thing'
She gave frowning look and asked 'That means will you not express your feelings and desires'
Anirudh: It is not like that. My major desire is fulfilled.You came back into my life with your wish. I feel so lucky of myself that I won your trust and heart. I have you in my room and that too so near. What else I wanted? I promise you that I will ask my wish whenever I feel and at the same time I want you too express it. Now tell me your idea.
Bondita thought for few seconds and suggested that we should take some time to get habituated with each other's presence and ...touch, so that we soon can proceed further.
He held her hands and said ' Sure Bondita, I liked your idea very much. From today onwards we will start our fresh journey as lovers to complete husband and wife within a short time. Is that fine'
She nodded happily. He teased her that if you want you can also call me darling, sweet heart. Also have to call me with my name. Not only Patibabu . she smiled and told that she can only call him in privately with a blush.
_______________________________________________
Bhatuk and Tapur also spent happily their time in making love, but somehow they didn't proceed completely as Tapur trembled in between. Bhatuk understood her ( recollecting his brother's words that women should not be forced by their husbands, they should feel comfortable and happy in marriage consummation)and asked her to relax. He asked her not to feel scared and to go to sleep. She is impressed with her husband's caring nature and thanked him.
______________________________________________
Bondita went aside of their room, removed her jewellery, heavy work saree changed into simple night saree and came back having Jasmine flower garlands in her open hair.
Anirudh & Bondita reached on their bed, embraced eachother , said 'I love you' to eachother and went into deep peaceful sleep.
Both are enjoying this proximity and feeling themselves as completed.
