Outside the court in Calcutta
“Madam, aapne apni zindagi ka pehla case jeet liya wo v is purush pradhan samaaj ki purusho ke kuch visheshadhikar ke khilaaf. Apko kaisa lag raha aaj?”
“Baat purush aur stree ki nhi, baat sahi aur galat ki hai. Purushon ko galtiyan karke auraton ki zindagi barbaad karne ka koi adhikar nhi. Aur jab v satya ki jeet ho khushi to hogi hi.”
“Madam aaj aapne bahuvivaah ke khilaf pehli patni ko insaaf dilaya, par kya sirf pehli patni ko insaaf dilaya par dusri patni ka kya, kya unke saath v ye galat nhi?”
“Bilkul galat hai, bahu vivaah har patni ke sath khilwad hai naainsaafi hai. Par pehli patni ko jo dard sehna padta hai wo dusri ko nhi milta, dusri patni ke aate hi pehli patni dusri ho jaati hai usse uski duniya cheen jaati hai, uske dil ko kai baar tukdo me baant diya jata hai, unki bhaawnao ko raunda jaata hai, kuchla jaata hai, usse wo sab kuch cheen liya jaata hai jo unka hona chahiye.” She said with pain evident in her eyes.
“Aapne ye case famous Barrister Anirudh Roy Chowdhury ke sath lada jinhe sayad aap ache se jaanti hai, unke pariwar ke sath judi hai aap, dar nhi laga unke khilaf khare hone me aur kya bura laga unhe harane me?.”
“Wo mere guru hai unhone hi sikhaya hai hamesha sahi ka saath dena chahiye chahe saamne koi v kyun na khada ho aur Jeet hamesha sach ki hoti hai. Aur sach ki jeet huyi. Isse sabko khushi hi huyi hogi.”
“Madam, hamne suna hai aap v is pratha ka shikar huyi hai to ye case ladna bahut mushkil hua hoga nah aapke liye.”
“Nahi mushkil kahan mere liye aasan tha, mai us masoom ke dard ko samajh paa rahi thi kyunki mai us dard se guzar chuki hoon, mera maksad tha kisi v haalat me us ladki ko iss zindagi bhar ki maut se bachana. Aur aisi kayi ladkiyon ko isse bachana hai jiske liye maine arzi daali hai.”
“Madam aap apne pati aur pariwar walon ko koi sandesh dena chahengi”
“Pati aur pariwar (smiled sarcastically with pain) Mai bata doon aap sabko mai ek laawarish hoon na mera koi pati aur pariwar hai na maa-baap.
Ek insaan ne zaan bachane ke liye maang bhari thi meri baad me jab unhe pyaar mil gya apna aur unhone hamara rishta jo kabhi tha hi nhi use thukra diya aur dusri shadi kar li.
Mai unki ehsaan guzaar hoon meri jaan bachane ke liye aur mai koshis kar rahi ki meri bachi huyi zindagi kayi aur zindagiyan bachane ke kaam aaye.
Mujhe to zindagi bhar ki maut mil hi gyi kisi aur ko na mile.
Haan par meri ek choti si icha jarur hai, mai chahti hoon ki meri maut ke baad mere pati ko meri maang bharne ya mujhe agni dene (became quite for a moment and composed herself to speak)……na diya jaaye.
Waise Trilochan Roy Chowdhury aur unke pariwar khaas kar unke bete Anirudh Roy Chowdhury ke bahut ehsaan hai mujhpe, unhe mere antim darshan diye jaaye par meri laash ke kareeb koi na aa paaye, agar koi meri maa banne ka natak kar meri laash ke paas aaye to unhe door rakha jaye wo mujhe na choo paaye kyunki meri koi maa nhi.
Mai laawaris, mujhe waise hi laawaris laash ki tarah hi pesh aaya jaye, kisi khai ya nadi me fenk diya jaaye marne ke baad meri laash ko.”
She wanted to cry hard but she has been a stone hearted lady now, she had no tears but unexplainable pain inside.
Years passed and this little Bondita is no more a sensitive little girl but a strong stone hearted lady atleast for the world but broken and vulnerable from inside.
“Madam ek aakhiri sawaal, Anirudh Roy Chowdhury ji aapke guru rahe hai, to aap thoda aur bataiye kaise unhone aapko sikhaya aur kaise raah dikhayi?”
“Aaj mai jo kuch v hoon sirf Anirudh Roy Chowdhury Ji ki wajah se hoon. Unhone mera bojh uthaya (with pain in voice), meri padhai ka kharch uthaya aur bahut tarah ki zehmatein uthayi. Ab mai bas unhi ka ehsaan chukana chahti hoon.
Unhone jo kuch v mujhe diya, har chiz to wapas nhi lauta sakti (sarcastically) par koshis karungi pura karz chukane ki.
Aur sikhane ki baat hai, inhone hi mujhe ehsaas dilaya dard kya hota hai auraton ka, inhone hi bataya ek mard apni marzi se auraton ke sath khel sakta hai, kapdon ki tarah biwiyan v badal sakta hai ek pasand nhi aayi ya use pehnne se taklif ho rahi to dusri pehen lo.
Inhone hi mujhe ehsaas dilaya ek aurat apni zaan v dene ko tyar ho to mard ko khush nhi rakh sakti.
Inhone mujhe ehsaas dilaya ki ek mard kaise ek pal me ek aurat ka sansaar chheen sakta hai. Ek pal me kaise uski sari bhawnao ko pairo tale raund sakta hai, masal sakta hai. Aasman dikha ke pairo tale zameen khich sakta hai.”
She stopped as her eyes got watery after years all those pains once again pierced her heart, pricked her soul once again.
The one with whom she was maintaining an eye contact in between answering, had also tears in eye but not the tears of happiness or proud which he thought he will get one day after his noble deed but the tears of pain and guilt of turning a Mom Ki Gudiya into a Pathar Ki Murti, he successfully did this.
The stone hearted Bondita Roy Chowdhury was just standing infront of great Anirudh Roy Chowdhury, both eyes had tears, one of pain and another of guilt.
Media persons in middle who were taking interview of hers after successfully winning a case of polygamy done for noble cause against the great Barrister Anirudh Roy Chowdhury
