Chapter10

Bondita just nodded in approval.. slightly.still was unsure.

"Aare ruko."Kaka's voice compelled them to stop at the threshold "Let me do aarti of both of you.

They're about to prohibit Kaka that's when two voice came to their audible area snatching the ability of speaking further.

"Mumma"

"Papa"

They looked towards the direction from where the voices came. Stood there in astonishment to see the most unexpected yet coveted scene. they couldn't believe their senses. that's in real or any dream! their babies finally spoke. Finally Called them. Anika and Adwait ran towards calling "Mamma Papa" again and again. Tears of happiness generated in their eyes.

"Barrister Babu Anu and Adi...they...they have spoken…" Bondita squealed joyfully like a little child. Grabbed Anirudh's arm out of extreme happiness. Anirudh's condition was no less. He nodded delightedly.that both of them were totally unaware of their position. sat on their knees.extended their hands to hold Anika and Adwait. While Adwait jumped in Bondita's arm and Anika jumped in Anirudh's arm. squealing..Mamma and Papa.

Shock would be an understatement, everyone was way dumbfounded seeing what the two toddlers did. however Bondita hold Adi's face in her palms lovingly "Adi,you spoke!" Adi kissed on her cheeks "Yess Mamma"

Bondita smiled nervously. Glanced at Anirudh from the corner of her eyes. who was wandering his eyes here and there in awkwardness. "Papa" squealing Anika placed a soft kiss on Anirudh's cheeks. wrapped her little arms around him. Anirudh sat there blankly. didn't know how to react or what to do!

"Anu..baby,come to Mamma" understanding the situation Bondita pulled Anika to her arms. and Anirudh took Adwait.

Both,Anika and Adwait grasped Anirudh and Bondita's clothes. Cried out calling them again and again.but they didn't even turn. forcibly unclasped their grip. without a word left with their own child.

Rest of the family members were standing there like silent audience. Batuk stepped towards Kaka who seemed pondering over somthing. Somthing was surely cocking in his mind. being suspicious he asked to which Kaka replied he understood what Durga maa indicated for all these years but that went unnoticed by him. However, Kaka's inexplicit answer went over Batuk's head.

Here in Bondita's room,Anika was crying unstoppably to go to her Papa. Bondita tried her best to console her daughter..

"Anu, Shona...listen I'm..your Mamma is here na.. I'm your Mamma and Papa both. No need to go to anyone......"

But nothing worked. her wailing was getting louder. Bondita hugged Anu feeling dolorous. Angry tears drops trailed down her cheeks. angry she was with her child. soul trembling ordeal barbarity she had undergone just to save her Baby. how much she had to suffer was out of one's horizon of thinking...just with a hope to see her child.. prayed,longed to hear "Mamma" once from her mouth But that child of hers uttered first word was Papa. Was crying for that cannibals, inhuman, remorseless person. wanted to go that monster who was after her to kill her!

Weary and heartstick,She chuckled painfully. Peace, Happiness wasn't going to make their way to her door!

The environment of Anirudh's room was not pleasent at all. Uncontrollable crying of Adwait made his mind numb to think any better way to condole his son. Adi was whimpering unceasingly to go to his Mamma. he cried silently holding Adi to his chest. his tear filled Eyes were glued to Binitha's photoframe.Heart hammered hard in lamentation. Suppressed anguish was trickling to come out of his system. Despondent he felt. How was he supposed to make his innocent child understand that what he was asking for would never be possible.....!
