Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi

Anirudh's call to Bondita

Kalindi cuts the call.

Bondita: Why did she put off the call without telling anything?

She keeps back the receiver. Bella comes there.

Bondita moved aside and sat on a table next to the telephone.

Bella cleans the telephone with tissue with a disgusting face. Bondita is shattered.

Bella: Shit, these slaves hands on our phone? Oh god, I just have to clean it properly.

Bondita: Heyy, why you are cleaning it?

Bella: Because you are dirt. Slaves are dirt.

Bondita: We are not slave. And I am clean. Cleanliness is godliness. We follow it carefully than you people. Face is the index of your mind. If we are clean from mind then we are clean physically.

Bella: Now what are you coming to say?

Bondita: Change your wrong perception on Indians. Untouchability is a crime.

She said in anger.

Bella: Are you teaching me laws? Are you Barrister? Wait, don't even know letters then how will you go upto college? How will you become Barrister?

She laughed sarcastically.

Bondita: I will learn the letter soon. You will see it by your eyes. I will become Barrister Babu. For that only I am here.

Bella laughs again and again which hurts Bondita. She returns to her room angrily.

~In Bombay~

Anirudh is reading book.

Manyavar: Anirudh, come lets to go to dinner.

Anirudh: What's time now? Why so early?

Manyavar: In this college dinner time is 7 pm.

Anirudh: Oh! Okay, come lets go.

He rose up, they two came out of room.

Anirudh looks at telephone.

Manyavar: Move on, why you stopped?

Anirudh thinks: Bondita, will be waiting for me. Shall I call her now or after dinner?

Manyavar: What happened?

Anirudh: Manyavar, you go first. I will come after a phone call.

Manyavar: Phone call? Haven't you spoke yet?

He nods no.

Manyavar: Okay, let me wait then. You go and speak.

Anirudh went to telephone and dials to Dalhousie hostel.

His heartbeat raises slowly. His hands became chill.

Tring... Tring... Tring...

Anirudh thinks: What will I speak to her? Whatever it may be but i must not cry.

His eyes rolls here and there.

Tring... Tring... Tring...

At the final ring, Bondita herself took the call.

Her heart beats faster than ever. She takes receiver to her ear.

Anirudh is breathing in and out in anxious. Bondita could hear his breathing sound only.

His eyes became moist, words stuck on his throat. Same with Bondita.

Anirudh: Bo... Bondita...

Bondita breaks in tears but closes her mouth and tries to control it.
