Continued from the previous part...

They both sat in each others embrace, love in their hearts abd beautiful, calm smiles pleated on their faces. All the events of the day, all the apprehensions seemed to vanish away in the feeling of their love!...

Bondita snuggled more into him and buried her face into his neck, inhaling his manly cologne. Anirudh held, her close to him, more tightly and breathed deeper. Her hot breaths hitting his neck made him loose himself and he held her shoulders, pulling her away from him. Looking deep into her eyes, which were full of passion and love, he slowly pushed her back on the large swing.

Anirudh placed his hand beneath her head to prevent her head from bumping into the wooden edges of the swing and softly hovered over her. The swing swayed gently with the wind and their movements.

"Pati Babu, the swing!"she murmured with her quivering lips.

"It's heavier than you imagine Bondi!... Neither it will fall, nor will it break, dont worry."he replied, already knowing what she thought.

Bondita pressed her eyes, shying and smiled coyly at him. He kissed her forehead softly and she smiled. He hand pinned her hands to the swing and intertwined their fingers. He moved his hands up to her face and touched her cheek with the back his fingers softly.

Bondita's wet, petite body shivered under him and he kissed her lips yet again. She wrapped her hands around him and pulled him more into the kiss, further deepening it. His one hand was still beneath her hand, acting as her protective pillow, while the other roamed freely on her waist and neck sensually.

As soon as they parted for air, he moved down, kissing her chin and neck. He kissed her passionately and she just breathed intensely. Bondita tangled her fingers in his wet hair and let out a soft audible whisper,"Patii babuuu!... I.. I love you!"

Anirudh looked up at her and said with a beautiful smile, "I love you too Jaan!... I love you more than you can ever imagine!"

Saying this, he moved further down on her body, kissing all over. He moved her pallu a bit down her shoulder and kissed softly on her cleavage. Bondita's breath hitched and she arched her back in pure pleasure. He suckled onto her skin and gave a few red marks of his love too.

The rain was becoming heavier by each passing second, turning into a storm. Though they were under the shade of th Jhoola- roof, the slanting rain drenched them in the cold water. Suddenly Bondita hissed in a sudden pain. Anirudh looked up in confusion, thinking he did something but he saw her pressing her right ear tightly with her palm.

"What happened? Are you okay?"he asked worrying.

"Aahhh!... Pati Babu my ear is aching!... I guess its the chilly air."

"Really?"he got up and pulled her to sit beside him.

Adjusting her pallu, he covered her ears with his hands and said,"I think its getting too cold here, let's go down Bondi!"

She could sense his worried tone and smiled to calm him down. She got up and said, "Pati Babu, please put the plant under the shade, the storm might harm them."

He nodded in reply and said, "you pls go down quickly!... I'll do it. And change!.. I dont want you to fall sick!"

She looked at him with all her love and smiled. She just loved him so much! She walked carefully on the slippery terrace floor. While Anirudh went away to keep the plants away.

Anirudh came back near the swing and was about to leave, when he saw Bondita's earing lying down on the floor. He shook his head and bent down to pick it up.

Standing back, as soon as he stepped forward, his foot slipped forward and he lost his balance! He fell back and his head hit the edge of the heavy, wooden swing!...

"Aaaah!.. Bonditaa!!!" He let out a loud call as he collapsed on the floor. But before his voice could reach her ears, it got suppressed by a loud thunder.

___________________________________

Bondita had reached her bedroom and started drying her hair. Walking upto the dressing table, she looked into the mirror and was left horrified for a second. Her sindoor, from her parting had flown down her forehead, leaving it void of any colour!... She never liked her parting without a pinch of vermillion, and the elder women saw it as a bad omen too.

Bending down and picking up her sindoor box, she quickly filled her parting with sindoor and let out a deep sigh.

"Hey Dugga Maa! Keep my Pati Babu safe forever!" She prayed audibly, folding her hands and bringing them to her forehead.

"He is taking too long. How much time is required to keep away the plants in shade?"she asked herself and decided to check on him.

Climbing up the stairs, she reached the terrace. The door was wide open and rain water was coming inside.

She stepped inside the terrace and let out a sharp shriek!.....

Anirudh lied there beside the swing, in a pool of read water!... Ofcourse, it was blood!... Her mind stopped working. She ran to him.

"Patii babuuu!"she shouted. "Pati babu what happened?... Pls get up!.."she shook him, but he didnt respond to any of her actions. She checked his head for a wound, from where the blood was trickling out. There was a wound at the back of his head! She didnt know if it was deep or not, but he was bleeding! And that was enough to make her panic!... She quickly tore out a long stip of cloth form her cotton saree and wrapped it tightly around his head.

He wasn't responding and that's what scared her the most. She quickly tried to get up along with him and take him down. Though Anirudh was heavy for her, but in that moment, a sudden strength had taken over her. She made him stand up, taking the support of the swing herself and placing his arm around her shoulders, walked him down.

They both were all alone at home!... Even Bihari and Koyeli had left in the evening. The loneliness that was a pleasure a few minutes back, seemed to be her greatest apprehension now!

Bondita walked him to their bedroom and made him lie on the bed. His clothes were all dripping wet! The blood had stopped flowing though, he was still unconscious. She quickly unbuttoned his shirt and threw it down. Walking to the closet, she quickly brought a new shirt and made him wear it loosely, without buttoning.

Covering him with the blanket, she went down to call their family doctor.

"Hello! Dr. Ganguly!... This is Bondita Roy Chowdhary speaking." She spoke in a hurry, wiping the water from her face.

"Yes, yes!... Bondita beta!.. Everything good?.... You seem worried? What.."

Before th doctor could complete, she interrupted,"Uncle, can you please come home right now?" She asked and told him all about that had happened.

"Bondita, beta you don't panic! I'll do something. I know Trilochan Babu and Binoy Da is also not at home, but please you dont worry!..."the doctor said.

"But.. Its just that its raining too heavily!... Abd I dont have my car today. I myself am stuck at the clinic." He said in a nervous and worried tone.

"I'll bring him!" Bondita blurted without thinking even twice.

"Just listen to me beta! If you can bring him, its the best!.. But still just check for the medicine box and you'll find a few small, yellow paper packets. Just take one and mix it in half glass water. It will bring him back to his consciousness. He used to faint quiet easily in childhood too.

Bondita agreed and hung up the phone, thanking him. She rushed up to their room and looked for he medicine box. Finding it in the cupboard, she did as told and made him drink spoons full of the medicine.

Wiping his lips, she kept aside the glass and started rubbing his palms and feet to provide some warmth. After like 5-10 minutes, he moved a bit!...

"Bo... Bondita... Ahhh"he murmured softly.

Bondita quickly ran towards him and held him by his shoulders brushing his hair.

"I an glad that you woke up! You will be absolutely fine Barrister Babu!"she told and hugged him tightly.

"Now please gt up!... We need to reach the hospital soon!.."she said helping him stand on his feet. He didnt have much energy to decipher what was happening around him and jut walked with her support.

She made him sit on the back seat of the car and locking the mansion door, sat on the front seat.

Her heart was thumping inside her chest. Yes she had learnt driving, but it was just a couple of times and she didnt do it ever alone. Anirudh was always with her ti guide. Though he was there that day too, but he himself had no sense about his surroundings so how could he guide her?.... And the storming rain just added to it!
