Akhome Asu Leke
Hoto se Muskuraye
Hum Jese Jee Rehe
Koi Jee To Bayate

A silvery claw in the graphite night illuminated the sky with soft glow spreading its soft mellows everywhere. Anirudh and Bondita stood at the balcony of the hotel, their arms rubbing each others,  as they both stared at the blanket of stars that stretched to infinity. The silence was something exception in their company today.

"Barrister babu....." Bondita said loud making Anirudh come back from his dreamland.


"Haa Bondita...." Anirudh said stammering.

"Kabse pukar rehi hu apko! Kaha khoye hae ap?" Bondita said and left a sigh.

"Vho kuch nehi Bondita... Bas Kaka k bareme...." Aniudh uttered those words and Bondita immediately shifted her gaze down to hide her teary eyes.

"Kaka sasur... Kaka ki bath bhul jayiye. Bho bas humari kushi chahte the" Bondita said and remembered the time Kaka asked Anirudh to fill her hairline with vermilion.

"Bondita... Kya tumhe lagta hae hume humare saadi nehi thorni chahiye thi? Kya agar kaka sachme bimar hote tobhi kya tum muje rokti tumhari mangme sindur bharnese?" Anirudh asked.

"Nehi barrister babu. Humari saadi torneka fesla bilkul vhi galat nehi hae. Balki humne humari saadi torkar samaj ki samne misal khara kiya hae." Bondita answered to his first question but ignored the second one.

After answering Anirudh she went to the bed and asked Anirudh to sleep on the couch of the suit.

The hotel room was big and comfortable enough for two people to enjoy their night but for Anirudh & Bondita sleep seemed to be far away like the stars.

"Kya kar raha hae tu apni zindegi k sath Anirudh? Bondita bahu k alava kuch bacha hae kya teri zindegime? Kese? Kese bhare ga tu apne zindegi ka akela pan?" Kaka screamed as the events were to excruciating for him to handle.

Kaka ki kahi har bath mere kan me nehi meri dil me gunje the. Or har bar ohi mere sapno me ake meri nind chura lete hae. Ye sach hae ki Bondita meri jindegi ban chuki hae! Esehi nehi kaha tha usse meri jeena ka karan.

Ajeeb si zindegi hae na? Jiska nam lene se inkaar kiya tha, aj ushi kohi saathi pukar kar apne pass theher jane ko keh raha hu.

Jiska mang mene rat ki kali andhero me bhara tha, aj vho hi meri har subha ki pehli kiran ban chuki hae. Jisko apna sapna bata ne sevi inkaar kiya tha, aj ushi ko hi apna sapna banakar apne akhome saja lia hae.

Jisko pehla aksar likhna mene sikhaya tha, kya pata tha ki usihi ki nam ki har akshar mere rom rom mehvhi ghul ja raha tha?

Jiski patibabu patibabu karke pukar nese dil to taklif pochti thi, aj vho hi dil us namki geet ko sunnek lia tarap ti hae. Patibabu na sehi par birristera babu sevi kam chalega. Dil na bhare par man ko tasalli ho jayegi.

Par apsos. Usne kya kaha tha muje, " Apna pan to birristera babu kehne me ata hae, barrister babu se nehi". Or abh? Abh to uski labz "birris" par akehi atak jati hae.

Kya pukar ti hae muje? barrister babu! Trust me its too painful to get addressed by that name.

"Nehi! Humare pass mat ao. Ashirbadh to hum tumhe dher sari dena chahte the. Lekin tumne khud hi us ashirbad ko thukra diya.."

Kese samjao me apko Kaka sasur ji? Kisne kaha ki me barrister babu or apne parivaar k pass nehi rehna chahti? Kiu apko laga ki me nehi chahti ki sab muje pherse Bondita Anirudh Roy Chowdhury k nam se jane? Me chahti hu pherse vho sab kuch pana jo mene khoya hae.

Me chahti hu mere patibabu ko haq se, sabke samne patibabu karke pukarna. Chahti hu pherse unka hath thame Roy Chowdhury haveli me rehna. Chahti hu unke sath, unke pass rehna.

Lekin... barrister babu asa bilkul nehi chahte. Me janti hu vho muje khudse door vhej ne k lia ye saadi nhi thori. Balki unki ye ku prathao k birudh larai ki vajase unhone ye saadi thori.

Me ye vhi janti hu.... Ki agar me unhe kehti ki muje ye saadi nehi thorni hae vho apni hoto par pyarisi muskan lekar mera nirnay ka sath dete.

Lekin kya iske bath me unke najrome kabhi khari ho pati? Saayed mere lia vho is ku-pratha k birudh na lare par kya isse inka or baki samaj sevi ka salo purana sapna or kathor mehnath barbad nehi hoti?

Barrister babu ne ajtak mere lia itna kuch kiya hae. Kya aj meri bari nehi thi unke lia kuch karneka? Or agar kismat ki lakirome hamara sath likhahi hae, to hum jarur milenge. Itna to biswas hae muje hamare rishte par.

Anirudh turned his side on the couch and found Bondita facing the celling being lost in deep thoughts.

"Bondita kya soch rehi ho? Kuch puch na hae kya tumhe?" Anirudh asked with concern laced in his voice.

"Nehi barrister babu.." She replied timidly.

(after a minute silence)

"Aap/ Tum" both spoke together.

They had a cute eye lock but melancholy silence still had engulfed them.

"Bondita / Aap muje bhul to nehi jaogi/ jaoge?" They both spoke without breaking the eye lock.

Don't forget to hit the star button, if it touches your heart. Thank you!
