Anirudh ran towards Bondita and held her by her shoulders.
Anirudh- Bondita kisne kiya hai yeh sab?
Bondita- aap pehele shaant ho jayiye. Aur Pata nhi kisne kiya ,samne se achanak koi aaya aur achanak se pathar phenk ke chala gaya.
Anirudh- Naina tum wahan thi na mujhe sab batao kya hua.
Naina cryingly narrated everything.
Hearing Naina ,Anirudh was angry and he clenched his fist.
He tuned leave from there when Bondita held him by holding his fist. Bondita nodded in no and Anirudh sighed in defeat.
He held her by her shoulders and helped her to get her room. Before leaving he asked koyli to get the turmeric milk and some food for bondita.
He made her sit on the bed and asked koyli to help Bondita in changing her dress. Koyli nodded and Anirudh left the room.
As he left the room, he went downstairs and saw his Kaka and Baba ordering someone. He came towards them and said - yeh kon hai? Binoy indicated the person left.
Binoy- humare aadmi . Inhe hum Tulsipur ke har ek kone mein dhudne ka aadesh de rhe hain taaki yeh Pata chal sake ki kon hai woh jisne Bondita par Aakraman kiya.
Kaka- bas woh ek baar mil jaye,phir hum usko chodenge nhi.
Anirudh- zaroor Kaka. Mein khud usko nhi chodne wala.
After 10 mins Koyli returned downstairs with a dejected face.
Anirudh noticed her and said - koyli. Kya hua.
Koyli- chote maalik,choti malkin khaana nhi kha rhi hai. Zidd karke baithi hai ki unhe nhi khana, unka man nhi hai.
Anirudh- koi baat nhi mujhe dedo,mein khila dunga.
Koyli nodded and handed him the plate.
Anirudh- koyli haldi wala doodh?
Koyli- abhi bana ke laati hoon.
Anirudh nodded and went upstairs.
Kaka- binoy.
Binoy- ji Da.
Kaka- Anirudh kitna badal gya hai na?
Binoy- Ji daa, aur yeh Badlaav bohot acha hai.
Kaka- durgaa maa inke rishte ko kisi ki nazar mat lagne dena.
In batuks room.
Batuk was constantly weeping. Naina came there with tray of food. When she saw Batuk crying, she felt bad. She asked- mein andar aaun?
Batuk hearing Naina's voice ,wiped his tears and with a small smile said - Aayiye na boudi. Puchne ki kya zaroorat hai?
Naina entered the room and sat beside Batuk keeping the food tray aside - Ro kyun rhe the?
Batuk- aapko Pata toh hai.
Naina- lekiin usme tumhari galti nhi hai batuk.
Batuk- meri hi galti hai boudi. Dada ne mujhe zimmedari di thi aap dono ki raksha karne ki aur mein woh bhi nhi kar paya.
Naina- Agar hume pehele se Pata hota ki kya hone waala hai toh hum karte hi kyun? Batuk hum log koi bhagwaan yaa antaryaami nahi hai. Hum insaan hai. Insaan se aksar galtiyan ho jaati hai. Aur tumhari toh galti bhi nhi hai. Tumhe thodi na Pata tha ki koi aisa kar sakta hai.
Batuk- par dada toh mujhe hi doshi maante hai na .
Naina- tumhare chote dada?
Aur Anirudh dada bhi?
Batuk nodded innocently.
Naina- tumhare chotte dada ko toh mein dekh lungi, unki himmat kaise hui mere devar ko doshi maane ki.
Batuk- aapko Pata hai abhi aapke aane se pehele woh mujhe daant ke gye.
Naina- Tum chinta mat karo. Tumhare dada ka agar meine baja nhi bana diya na toh Mera naam Naina Roy Chowdhary nahi.
Batuk- Haan boudi, unko khoob maarna.
Naina- waada raha.
Acha toh tumlog mere khilaaf yeh yojna bana rahe ho? - som said standing at the door.
Naina- aap yahan kyun aaye hain?
Som- mere bhai ka kamra hai ,mein jab bhi aaun tumhe usse kya?
Naina- wahi bhai jisse aapne bay Matlab daanta?
Som- maafi maangne hi aaya hoon.
Batuk maaf kardo please.
Batuk turned away his face,while Naina looked towards Som.
Naina- Batuk ek shart pe maaf karega.
Som - konsi?
Naina- uthak Bethak kariye.
Som- kyaa?
Sahi kaha Naina ne.- bondita.
Som- boudi.
Bondita- aap dono bhayion ne Millkar mere devar ko rulaya? Chaliye uthak baithak kariye.
Bondita came and sat on the other side of batuk. Som saw Anirudh was standing with a sulking face and tray of food.
Batuk- boudi mujhe maaf kardo. Mujhe sachme..
Bondita- arre chote zamindaar. Shaant rahiye. Aapki koi galti nhi hai. Theek hai?
Batuk- shotti.
Bondita- shotti. Ab tumhe Pata hai meine khana nhi khaya hai.
Batuk- kya ? Kyun?
Bondita- tumhare dada,tumse maafi nhi maangte tab tak nhi khaungi. Bina wajah hi mere bhai ko daant diya.
Batuk turning his head towards his brother- aap log khade kyun ho? Jaldi uthak baithak karo na.
Som and Anirudh- kya? Kya kaha? Ruko batata hoon tumhe.
Batuk- boudi..
Naina and Bondita- karte ho yaa nhi.
Both the brothers sighed and started to do uthak baithak.
Batuk- bas bas.
Anirudh and som - Sorry.
Batuk - koi baat nhi.
Bondita- chalo ab khaate hain.
Naina- Haan.
Naina and Bondita tore a morsel of chapati,dipped in the curry and forwarded to Batuk- Khao.
Batuk with tearful eyes looked at both his boudis.
Naina-kya hua? Aankhein kyun bhar aayi?
Batuk- Maa bhi aise hi khilati thi mujhe.
Bondita and Naina smiled and indicated him to eat. He ate and smiled in return.
In the next round Anirudh and Somnath did the same and the brothers hugged eachother.
Batuk had already got to brothers but today he got two sisters. No matter how much they fight and tease each other but at the end of the day they care for eachother.
Binoy standing outside the room ,wiped his tearful eyes and with satisfying smile went from there.
After a while Bondita too retired to her room with help of Anirudh and Naina also went to her room. Som also went to his room. Anirudh after sending bondita to her room , went outside the house and near the market. When the villagers saw him,they were scared. Anirudh looked like a angry bull who can attack anytime.
Anirudh,calmly- kisne Bondita par hamla kiya?
The villagers were mum which infuriated Anirudh to the core.
Anirudh, shouting- meine pucha kisne meri Patni par hamla kiya? Jawab do.
The villagers were still quite. Anirudh was about again shout when a little girl came and held his hand. Anirudh bent down to her height.
Girl- dada ,mein dekha kisne pheka unn didi pe pathar.
Anirudh- kon tha?
Girl pointed towards two men. Anirudh when looked at them ,his angry face again came back and he stared at the men.
Man 1 - chote maalik , yeh bachi kuch bhi bol rhi hai. Naadan hai na .
Man 2 - Haan. Ei shono, leke jao isse yahan se.
Anirudh- iss bachi ko koi haath bhi nhi lagayega.
Anirudh gestured the girl to go. After the girl went away ,Anirudh marched towards the two men.
The men were scared to the core when and decided to run away when Anirudh held them from the back but one of them managed to run away.
Anirudh turning the man slapping him- himmat kaise hui bondita ko nuksaan pahunchane ki? Bolo? Kaise hui himmat! Uske sar se Kitna khoon beh rha tha andaaza bhi hai? Arre woh toh itni mahaan hai ki woh mujhe aur parivaar waalon ko rok rhi thi ki tum jaise logon ko sazaa na doon.
And saying this Anirudh started to beat him.
Bolo kis liye aakaraman kiya bondita pe? Bolo nhi toh jiss haath se pathar phek ke maara na usse ,ussi haath ko tod dunga.
Man - maalik maafi. Maafi maalik. Aapki patni vidyalay jaati hai aur kal ke aayojan ke baad meri patni bhi vidyalay jaane ki zidd karne lagi. Mujhe yeh dar tha ki kahin meri patni mere haath se na choot jaye. Aur uski yeh himmat aapki patni ke wajah se aayi thi. Uski himmat rokne ke liye meine..
Anirudh- himmat rokne ke liye tumne meri patni pe pathar maara? And Anirudh again slapped him. The man somehow ran away from Anirudh's clutches.
Anirudh to the villagers- Agar aaj ke baad aap mein se kisi ne bhi Bondita ki taraf aankh utha ke bhi dekha yaa usse maarne ki koshish ki , mujhse bura koi nhi hoga. Yeh Anirudh Roy Chowdhary ka Vachan hai.saying this Anirudh left the place and entered the haveli. He retired to his room after checking on Bondita.
After a week.
In this one week Anirudh took care of Bondita. He helped her in her studies. He at first wanted to take a week leave for bondita but bondita denied doing so as it was her first time in school and she didn't want miss the lectures and give an opportunity to the villagers to again taunt her and badmouth about the family. The whole week Som and Anirudh went with both the girls to drop them in the school and again came back to house with them. Amongst them Batuk was like a protective brother for both Naina and Bondita. The villagers when saw Bondita's and Nainas husband's with them they didn't dare to open their mouth. Of course who would want a death wish.
Monday,6:15 am.
Bondita's room.
Bondita woke up from the bed only to sit back. She held her abdomen tightly and squealed in pain.
She checked the calendar which was on the side table and sighed.
Her date had arrived yet again.Periods aka Menstrual cycle.
She somehow got up and went inside the washroom.
She changed into a cotton saree and sat on the bed .
She closed her eyes due to intense pain.
A sudden knock on the door made her startled and she hesitantly went towards the door.
She opened the door and her eyes met with her Birristerra babu.
Anirudh- Bondita, yeh kya tum ab tak taiyaar kyun nhi hui? He said coming inside while Bondita moved back.
Anirudh saw that Bondita wasn't giving any answer and moving back.
Anirudh- Bondita mere prashna ka jawab do. Aur tum aise peeche peeche kyun jaa rhi ho?
Bondita didn't say anything and still moved back. Her legs hit the bed and she sat on the bed with a jerk.She covered herself with blanket and said - aaj mein nhi jaungi, tabyat theek nhi hai.
Anirudh- Tabyat theek nhi hai? Kya hua tumhe? Idhar aao.
Anirudh was about to touch Bondita's forhead when Bondita moved away. Anirudh was surprised to see her like this.
Anirudh- kya hua bondita, batao na.
Bondita thinking- kaise bataun? Maaf karna pati babu. Mein yeh sab aapse nhi keh sakti. Maa ne kaha tha ek baar ki aise samay pe ki Pati ke aas paas bhi nhi ghumna chahiye. Ashoodh hoon na abhi. Isliye. Maaf karna.
Her thinking came to halt when Anirudh again asked her the same questions.
Bondita- kaha na tabyat theek nhi hai,isliye nhi ja sakti.
Anirudh-par hua kya hai?
Bondita, irritated- mujhe nhi Pata. Aap jayiye yahan se .
Anirudh- par bondita..
Bondita,angrily- jayiyee.
Anirudh got up and left the room after closing it.
Anirudh thinking- bondita ko kya hua?aise kyun bartaav kar rhi hai? Aaj tak toh kabhi nhi kiya. Kya chupa rahi ho mujhse tum Bondita?
Downstairs,Mandir.
Kaka was waiting for Bondita to do the morning Aarti but when she didn't turn up then he asked Naina to do the Aarti.
The whole family was present there expect Bondita. Koyli wasn't there as she had gone to her village for 1 week.
Anirudh came for the Pooja but his mind wasn't present there.
Naina,shouting- Dadaa.
Anirudh- Haan.. haaan kya hua?
Naina- prashaad.
Anirudh- ohh. Thank you.
Som - dada aap theek hai na ?
Anirudh- Haan mujhe kya hua?
Kaka- bahu aaj neeche nhi aayi ? Kya hua? Tabyat toh theek hai na uski?
Anirudh- wahi toh nahi Pata ki usse kya hua hai? Subha usse bulane gya toh chiddi chiddi si thi aur toh aur mujhe kamre se bhi Bahar bhej diya.
Som and batuk when heard the last line chuckled and did a hi-fi with eachother.
While Kaka widened his eyes and Binoy gave a subtle smile and adjusted his specs.
Anirudh when noticed them frowned at them.
Naina asked - dada ,Bondita ukhdi ukhdi si thi?
Anirudh- Haan. Par kyun, usne yeh nhi bataya.
Naina understood the reason and went towards her room not before muttering- mein abhi aayi.
After 10 mins, Naina came down.
Anirudh and the family members were waiting for her.
Anirudh- kya hua usne kuch bataya Naina.
Naina- Haan woh.. uska pet dard jo rha hai. Isliye.
Anirudh- yeh ladki na. Itne roshogulle khayegi toh yahi hoga na.
Khair koi baat nhi,tum jao aur jaake taiyaar jo jao.
Kaka- Naina bahu bhi aaj nhi jayegi.
Anirudh and Som- kyun?
Kaka- bas humara aadesh hai yeh.
Anirudh and Som sighed. Both of them nodded and were about to leave when Batuk asked - kya mein bhi aaj chutti le sakta hoon?
Anirudh and Somnath looked at eachother, then at batuk , went towards him, stood beside him ,Anirudh on right and Som on left. Both held each ear of Batuk nd said- bilkul nhi.
Batuk ran away from there while rest of them left for their respective work.
Anirudh had taken a day off from the court, Naina and Kaka had gone out to the mandir,Som and Binoy had went to college ,for admission of Som in Business University, while batuk went to school.Bondita was resting in her room.
After sometime she went to the washroom to change and at the same moment Anirudh entered the room to check on bondita.
He was surprised when he didn't see Bondita on bed. He heard some noises from the washroom and concluded that she had gone to washroom. He decided to talk later to her and was about to go out when his eyes went the bed.
He saw some blood stains. He remembered Bondita's irritated behavior and Naina's conclusions that she is having Stomach ache. He understood Bondita's reason and face palmed.
He removed the bedsheet and started to put a new one when Bondita came outside the washroom.
Bondita- Aap yahan?
Anirudh while putting the bedsheets said - Haan mein ,kyun nhi aa sakta?
Bondita- Nahi aa sakte hain, par ...
Anirudh- par war kuch nhi. Yahan baitho.
Bondita- kya?
He came near her while Bondita moved back. He was still confused why was she distancing herself but decided to think about that later.
Anirudh came ,held her shoulders and made her sit on the bed .
He knelt down before her and said- bataya kyun nhi ?
Bondita- kya nhi bataya?
Anirudh- tumhare mahine shuru huyen hai. Bataya kyun nhi ?
Bondita was shocked by his question.
How the hell did he come to know.
Wait the bedsheet. It had a stain.
U r gone Bondita. All these thoughts were going inside Bondita's head when Anirudh snapped his fingers in front of her.
Anirudh- Bondita meine kuch pucha ,jawab do.
Bondita looking down on her knees - aisi cheezen koi batata hai kya?
Anirudh- kyun nhi bata sakti?
Bondita- maa ne kaha tha aisi cheezen nhi batate aur iss samay pati ke paas bhi nhi bhatakte , ashudh hoon na aas paas bhatkungi toh paap nhi chadhega?
Anirudh- Bondita. Kisne kaha ki paap chadhega. Koi paap nhi chadhta isse. Balki yeh toh vardaan hai ladkiyon aur aurton ke liye.
Bondita- sharir se khoon nikalna kabse vardaan hone laga?Jaante bhi hain Kitna dard hota hai pait mein. Aadmiyon ke saath ho toh Pata chale.
Anirudh,chuckling- Bondita. Acha yeh batao Kabhi socha hai sirf aurat ko hi kyun aisa dard sehna padta hai, hum aadmiyon ko kyun nhi?
Bondita innocently nodded in no.
Anirudh , smiling- kyun ki Bhagwaan ne Aurat ko dard jhelne ki shakti di hai.
Ek aurat ko itna mazboot banaya hai ki woh har dard jhel sake.Aur tumne kya kaha , pati ke aas paas ghumogi toh paap chadhega? Aisa nhi hai Bondita. Balki tum jab chahe jahan chahe wahan ghum sakti ho. Bina kisi rukawat yaa rok tok ke.
Bondita-shotti?
Anirudh- shotti.
Bondita- par aapne aisa kyun kaha ki yeh ek vardaan hai?
Anirudh- Mahavaari ek vardaan hi toh hai. Ab dekho aaj iss duniya mein tum mere samne agar ho yaa mein tumhare saamne hoon toh issi Mahavaari ke wajah se hoon. Mahavaari ke wajah se hi toh ek aurat maa ban paati hai, ek naye jeev ko janm de paati hai. Yeh Badlaav jo hai tumhari zindagi mein yeh kuch Ashudh yaa paap nhi balki ek sundar aur shudh shuruwaat hai.
Bondita- Mahavaari ke wajah se ek aurat maa banti hai ?
Anirudh nodded silently and smilingly.
Bondita- par bache toh ek pari deke jaati hai na .
Anirudh, confused-pari? Mein kuch samjhaa nahi.
Bondita- Arre, Mera matlab ki bachpan mein na maa se ek baar meine pucha tha ki bache kahan se aate hai, toh maa ne jawab mein yeh bola ki bache pari aake deke jaati hai. Phir..
Anirudh- phir?
Bondita- meine kaha ki mujhe ek bhai chahiye,toh maa ne mere sar pe maara aur mujhe sula diya.
Anirudh started to laugh at her innocence.
Anirudh- acha yeh sab chodo ,jao jaake aaram karo. Aaj toh school nhi gyi,kal jaana hai na? Jao jaake aaram karo.
Bondita- jii. Lekin mahavaari ke wajah se kaise ek aurat maa banti hai?
Anirudh- kuch kitabein dunga samajh jaogi aur iss vishay mein school mein bhi padhaya jayega. Theek hai?
Bondita nodded .
Anirudh- waise tumne iss baare mein bataya nhi kabhi?
Bondita- kaha toh maa ne kaha tha iss samay pati ke aas paas bhi nhi ghumte toh kaise batati? Aur agar batana bhi chaha toh aap Bahar jaate the kaam pe.
Anirudh nodded his head understanding her.
She somehow got up from the couch and went to the bed with help of Anirudh. She was having a back ache and Stomach pain together.
Indeed Women face a lot!
Anirudh went downstairs and asked koyli to make a small pouch which consists of warm rice.
As Koyli gave it him ,he went upstairs to give to Bondita but he found her asleep.
He kept it near her stomach and whispered smilingly - Pari. He caressed her hairs and left the room.
After some hours.
Anirudh was in bondita's room teaching the three musketeers and the musketeers were studying with keen interest.
Anirudh- ab aaj ke liye bas itna hi. Kal se hum itihaas ki shuruwaat karenge.
Three of them nodded .
Anirudh- Bondita yeh lo tumhare liye Roshogulle.
Bondita was about to take the pot when Batuk snatched it and ran outside. Bondita ran behind him.
Naina- Bondita ruk..
Anirudh, chuckling- jaane do uun dono ko.
Naina- arre nhi dada,Bondita ko aise samay Bahar nhi jaana chahiye.
Anirudh- kya ?
Naina- arre uski maha.. kuch nhi. She stopped abruptly.
Anirudh- Naina mujhe Bondita ke mahavaari ke baare mein Pata hai.
Naina looked down .
Anirudh- upar dekho. Dada kehti ho na , dada ki baat nhi manogi?
Naina hesitantly looked up and Anirudh explained that it her that its natural for all the women and its nothing to get shy off.
Naina heard him intently and nodded with a smile.
Naina- aaj tak sirf socha tha par ab keh rhi hoon, Bondita kaafi bhagyashaali hai jo usee aapka saath mila.
Anirudh- Galat. Bhagyashaali toh mein hoon ki mujhe Bondita ka saath mila.
Both shared a smile but it faded as they heard Kaka's scream from downstairs.
Kaka- Bahuu.
Anirudh and Naina- Bondita?!
