It was approximately 4 :30 pm on a clear day. A man in his 50s could be seen consoling his wife, who was experiencing labour pain.
''Oye, zara dekh na bahar, Bondita Mayi aayi kya abhi? '' He asked his servent to check outside his cottage.
The boy, wearing a torn white shirt, had his own charms. He looked like Krishna, who even after having a dark complexion, successfully used to adorn himself with the peacock feather.
He went towards the wooden door , and opened it. No sooner the door opened, his head collided with a girl. He backed off.
''Anirudh, aayi kya voh?'' The man called again.
''Haan Mai aa gayi..'' This time Bondita spoke.
''Mayi aapne der lagai bohot. Dekhiye Maya ko bohot dard ho raha hai! Mere bete ko kuch ho gaya toh?'' He asked ,concerned.
Bondita wasn't speaking anything. She was already very distressed after the incident that happened today with her.
She said bluntly, ''Jaiye jakar ek patti le aayie, naal kaatne ke liye!''
Anirudh immediately rushed to the nearby shop. He bought a blade and gave it to Bondita.
''Aap sab bahar jaiye!'' Bondita said without any expression.
Both of them nodded and went outside.
Maya looked at Bondita and said with teary eyes, ''Mayi, maine suna hai aapke haathon se hamesha bete hi paida hote hai !'' She closed her eyes due to the pain..''Vo bahar Dekhiye!''
Bondita looked towards the window and found 3-4 men standing there with sticks and swords.
Maya continued, ''agar ek beti hui, to yeh log maar denge use.. bacha lijiye mere bacche ko!'' She clutched her bedsheet in pain.
Bondita kept her hands on Maya's womb, and started pushing it towards herself slowly.
Maya was now half conscious.
Bondita thought, ''agar ek beti hui , to yeh log maar denge use, or agar beta hua, to vo ek din kisi ladki ka balatkar karke uski jaan le lenge!'' Her voice chocked now.
She closed her eyes, and prayed, ''Dugga maa, aaj mere haathon se kisi ka janm hi nahi hona chahyie, or agar ho jaye, to mujhe itni shakti do, ki patti si uski naal kaatne ki jagah uski jeevan Rekha kaat de Bondita!'' She sighed.
It was a son again. He started crying loudly which was a alert for Anirudh and his master.
Bondita's dugga maa hadn't listened to her prayers. She was about to cut the baby's little tummy, but Anirudh appeared there in the nick of time. Bondita was perplexed. According to her, Indirectly she risked a girl's life again.
Bondita was walking on the deserted streets of the village. Suddenly, she heard the sounds of someone's footsteps.
Bondita turned and found Anirudh standing there with his bicycle. She ignored him and started walking again.
Anirudh was continuously following her. This time, Bondita turned back , walked towards him and slapped him with her two tiny fingers, while Anirudh watched her in shock.
''Kyu peecha kar rahe ho mera?'' She asked him.
''Vo.. aapki agali gadi is raaste se nahi, doosre MLA Sahab ke gaanv se hokar jati hai..isliye maine socha aapko marg dikha du..!'' Anirudh said softly.
Bondita regretted slapping him. She nodded and started walking behind him. Anirudh walked with his cycle infront of Bondita. Her cute Bodyguard!
They walked till the they reached near a mango tree. Anirudh kept his cycle beside and went towards the tree.
He started blabbering something in front of it.
Bondita watched him in awe. She took slow steps and kept her hand on his shoulder.
''Kya dekh rahe ho?'' She questioned him.
''Is aam ke ped ko dekhiye, iski vajah se mai ek aankh se andha hu !'' He told her, with a gloomy shock while Bondita was shocked .
She looked at him closely and saw that his one eye was completely damaged. But to Anirudh's surprise, she didn't made faces or looked at him with a disgusting face. Instead, she patted his cheek and asked, ''Kese hua yeh?''
Anirudh turned back and started.
''Jab mai 4-5 mahine ka tha na, tab maa ne mujhe ek baar yaha par sula diya tha. Uske baad kuch laal chitiyo ne mujhe dekh liya or meri ek aankh ko Puri tarah se khokla kar diya! '' Aniruddh told her with a smile.
''Kaha hai tumhari ma? '' Bondita asked and sat on the ground with a thud.
''Meri maa pata nahi kaha chali gayi us din ke baad.. mujhe kabhi nahi mili.. Mera bada bhai bhi tha ek, uska naam Rajdeep tha! Pata nahi voh kaha hai..'' He said softly
''Arey tumhari maa to wohi hai na, shubra kaki, jiske do bete hai?'' Bondita asked him, a little bit sure about his mother's existence.
''Haa. Par ab koi kaam ka nahi hai unka beta..'' Anirudh said and sighed, ''Maa bhi chali gayi mujhe chhod kar, kahi bohot door..!'' His voice choked as he uttered these words.
''Arey, aisa mat kaho, yahi rahti hai tumhari maa, paas wale gaanv mai, mai le chalu ? '' Bondita stood up from the ground.
''Nahi, vo agar mujhse milegi to akrosh mai aakar kya pata apni aankh mujhe hi dede, aap rehne do !'' Anirudh said, fear visible in his eyes.
''Buddhu Babu!'' Bondita giggled.
Anirudh smiled. Suddenly, something hit his mind and he ran towards his cycle, and came back with a small cloth bag and handed it to Bondita.
Bondita held it in her hands and asked him, ''Yeh kya hai?''
Anirudh answered with a smile, ''Ye Malik ne aapke liye diya hai.!''
Bondita opened it. It was a red banarasi saree.
Anirudh continued, ''Iske alawa kuch nahi tha unke paas, aapko dene ke liye..!''
Bondita smiled and asked calmly, ''par yeh to gaanv ki Dugga maa ko chadane vali saree hai na? Ye mai.. kese ?'' She stammered.
''Unhe lagta hai ki aap hi Dugga maa hai..jaan bachai na aapne unke bete ki!'' Anirudh told her, and a wide grin appeared on his face.
They started walking again.
All of a sudden, Bondita asked from nowhere, ''Ghar mai kaun kaun hai tumhare?''
Anirudh forced a smile and answered, ''dida aur mami...''. Bondita could see his face turning gloomy. She questioned him about their nature, To which he replied,
''Dida maarti hai, Dhamkati hai.. aur mami taane marti hai.. ki mai apshagun hu ghar ke liye..!''
Bondita was amazed. She couldn't figure out why his Dida beats him and why his mami taunts him.
Anirudh understood her quandary and told with a smile, ''mami or dadi chahti thi ki mai padhu nahi... vo kehti thi ki ek kana padhkar kya karega.. '' He sighed..''Par maine apni padhai puri kar li jaise taise.. par ab aage nahi padh paunga..!'' His smile vanished again.
''Kuch banna chahte ho ?'' Bondita asked tilting her head towards him.
''Haa, Barrister..'' he replied.
''Ba..barr..'' she stammered while speaking.
''Barrister!'' He clarified it.
''Uhh chhodo ! Mujhse nahi hota yeh..!'' She cutely pouted while he smiled on her antics.
They both were walking on the road silently, when suddenly Bondita questioned him again,
''Tum ye cycle laye ho.. to chala kyu nahi rahe ho ise?''
Anirudh told, ''agar mai ise chalaunga, to Aap peeche reh jayegi na..!''
''Na na, Bondita peeche nahi rahti Buddhu babu.. Bondita hamesha aage rahti hai.. seena taan kar..!'' She proudly said.
''Accha , to chalo dekhte hai cycle par sabse pehle kon baith tha hai..!'' He said with a smirk.
Both of them ran towards the cycle. On the way, Bondita fell and she winced in pain.. ''aaah!''
Anirudh rushed to help her, but to his surprise, she stood up, made faces at him and sat on the cycle. This made Anirudh smile.
''Dekha..!'' She said as she started moving the cycle's handles., ''Bondita kisi se nahi haarti na!'' She cheerfully said.
Anirudh too sat behind her. He said, ''Chalao!''
Bondita's face went gloomy. She stammered, ''mujhe nahi aat..aata.. cha..chalana!''
Anirudh calmly said, ''mai hu na aapke saath! Chalao! ''
Bondita forced a smile. She kept one of her foot on the pedal, and tried to move it, But in vain.
She hissed, ''uhh! Mujhse nahi hoga tum chalao!'' .
Anirudh looked at her surprised, And she continued , ''Tum hi margadarshak ho na mere.. tum chalao na..!''
Bondita sat behind Anirudh and he started driving.
She asked him, ''tumhein tumhare ghar ki auratein maarti hai.. gussa nahi aata tumhein?''
Anirudh replied with a calm look, ''nahi.. kyunki janmdaatri bhi ek aurat hoti hai!''
These words left a great impact on Bondita's mind. Never in her life, she saw a MAN with such a open mind.
''Haa has bas! aa gaya mera ghar.. '' Bondita screamed in his ears which made him stop.
Bondita rushed inside her small cottage and stood near the window.
Both of them starting staring at each other.
Anirudh passed a smile to her and as he started driving to his house, Bondita shouted,
''Bye !''
Anirudh turned back. He too responded, ''Bye! Fir kabhi milenge!'' And drove back to his house.
Bondita stood there straight, smiling.
She uttered in a soft voice , ''Zaroor milenge!''...
When she was in deep slumber at night, she dreamt of riding a bicycle by her own. She mumbled while sleeping.
This was her first vision, of her independence!

It was approximately 4 :30 pm on a clear day. A man in his 50s could be seen consoling his wife, who was experiencing labour pain.
''Hey! Please check outside if Bondita maayi reached or not? '' He asked his servent to check outside his cottage.
The boy, wearing a torn white shirt, had his own charms. He looked like Krishna, who even after having a dark complexion, successfully used to adorn himself with the peacock feather.
He went towards the wooden door , and opened it. No sooner the door opened, his head collided with a girl. He backed off.
''Anirudh, Is she there?'' The man called again.
''Yes, I have arrived...'' This time Bondita spoke.
''Mayi you took a long time.. See, Maya is experiencing a lot of pain! What if something happens to my son?'' He asked ,concerned.
Bondita wasn't speaking anything. She was already very distressed after the incident that happened today with her.
She said bluntly, ''Go and bring a blade, I'll have to cut the baby's placenta!''
Anirudh immediately rushed to the nearby shop. He bought a blade and gave it to Bondita.
''All of you, please go outside !'' Bondita said without any expression.
Both of them nodded and went outside.
Maya looked at Bondita and said with teary eyes, ''Mayi, I had heard, a boy is born if delivered from your hands !'' She closed her eyes due to the pain ''Check outside!''
Bondita looked towards the window and found 3-4 men standing there with sticks and swords.
Maya continued, ''If it's a girl, these cunning people will kill her ..please save my child!'' She clutched her bedsheet in pain.
Bondita kept her hands on Maya's womb, and started pushing it towards herself slowly.
Maya was now half conscious.
Bondita thought, ''If a girl is born, these people will kill her, and if it's a boy, one day he'll rape a girl and kill her!'' Her voice chocked now.
She closed her eyes, and prayed, ''Dugga maa, Today,no one should be born with from my hands , and if someone is born, give me strength that instead of cutting his placenta, I can cut his string of life!'' She sighed.
It was a son again. He started crying loudly which was a alert for Anirudh and his master.
Bondita's dugga maa hadn't listened to her prayers. She was about to cut the baby's little tummy, but Anirudh appeared there in the nick of time. Bondita was perplexed. According to her, Indirectly she risked a girl's life again.
Bondita was walking on the deserted streets of the village. Suddenly, she heard the sounds of someone's footsteps.
Bondita turned and found Anirudh standing there with his bicycle. She ignored him and started walking again.
Anirudh was continuously following her. This time, Bondita turned back , walked towards him and slapped him with her two tiny fingers, while Anirudh watched her in shock.
''Why are you following me?'' She asked him.
'' actually your next train is not going to come from this way,.it'll come from MLA's village, so I thought that I shall help you by showing you the way.!'' Anirudh said softly.
Bondita regretted slapping him. She nodded and started walking behind him. Anirudh walked with his cycle infront of Bondita. Her cute Bodyguard!
They walked till the they reached near a mango tree. Anirudh kept his cycle beside and went towards the tree.
He started blabbering something in front of it.
Bondita watched him in awe. She took slow steps and kept her hand on his shoulder.
''What are you looking at?'' She questioned him.
''Look at this Mango tree, because of this tree, I am blind from one eye !'' He told her, with a gloomy shock while Bondita was shocked .
She looked at him closely and saw that his one eye was completely damaged. But to Anirudh's surprise, she didn't made faces or looked at him with a disgusting face. Instead, she patted his cheek and asked, ''How did this happened?''
Anirudh turned back and started.
''When I was 4-5 months old,.my mother made me lie down under this tree. After that some red ants found me and damaged my eye! '' Aniruddh told her.
''Where is your mother? '' Bondita asked and sat on the ground with a thud.
''I don't know, where my mother is right now.. after that day, she neve met me.. I had an elder brother too, his name was rajpdeep.. I dont even know about his whereabouts.'' He said softly
''Shubra kaki, the one who had 2 sons , is she your mother?'' Bondita asked him, a little bit sure about his mother's existence.
''Yes. But her son is of no use now..'' Anirudh said and sighed, ''mother too left me and went farwayr!'' His voice choked as he uttered these words.
''Don't speak like that, I know , your mother lives here only in the nearby village , Should I take you there? '' Bondita stood up from the ground.
''No, if she'll meet me, she'll give her own eyes to me beacuse of sorrow. Leave it !'' Anirudh said, fear visible in his eyes.
''Buddhu Babu!'' Bondita giggled.
Anirudh smiled. Suddenly, something hit his mind and he ran towards his cycle, and came back with a small cloth bag and handed it to Bondita.
Bondita held it in her hands and asked him, ''What's this?''
Anirudh answered with a smile,''Malik gave this for you.!''
Bondita opened it. It was a red banarasi saree.
Anirudh continued, ''he had nothing else to gift you except this!''
Bondita smiled and asked calmly, ''But this saree is gifted to the village goddess right? How c..can I?'' She stammered.
''He thinks that you are Dugga Maa, you saved her son's life.'' Anirudh told her, and a wide grin appeared on his face.
They started walking again.
All of a sudden, Bondita asked from nowhere, ''Members in your family?''
Anirudh forced a smile and answered, ''Dida and mami.''. Bondita could see his face turning gloomy. She questioned him about their nature, To which he replied,
''Dida beats me, rebukes me.. and my mami taunts me saying that I am a bad omen for her house!''
Bondita was amazed. She couldn't figure out why his Dida beats him and why his mami taunts him.
Anirudh understood her quandary and told with a smile, '' Mami and Grandma were against my studies, They used to say, why a kana will study'' He sighed..''But I completed my studies by great difficulty, But I cannot study further now!'' His smile vanished again.
''You wanna become something?'' Bondita asked tilting her head towards him.
''Yes, Barrister..'' he replied.
''Ba..barr..'' she stammered while speaking.
''Barrister!'' He clarified it.
''Uhh Leave it, I cannot to do this one..!'' She cutely pouted while he smiled on her antics.
They both were walking on the road silently, when suddenly Bondita questioned him again,
''You Brought this cycle, then why you aren't cycling it??''
Anirudh told, ''If I'll cycle, You'll be left behind .!''
'' No! Bondita never gets defeated Buddhu Babu, She is always in the front, with pride!'' She proudly said.
''Okay, so let's see who sits on that cycle first!'' He said with a smirk.
Both of them ran towards the cycle. On the way, Bondita fell and she winced in pain.. ''aaah!''
Anirudh rushed to help her, but to his surprise, she stood up, made faces at him and sat on the cycle. This made Anirudh smile.
''See.!'' She said as she started moving the cycle's handles., ''No one can defeat Bondita'' She cheerfully said.
Anirudh too sat behind her. He said, ''Start cycling!''
Bondita's face went gloomy. She stammered, ''I .. I don't.. I don't know!''
Anirudh calmly said, ''I am with you right! Start it! ''
Bondita forced a smile. She kept one of her foot on the pedal, and tried to move it, But in vain.
She hissed, ''uhh! It's not possible for me, you do it!'' .
Anirudh looked at her surprised, And she continued , ''You are my guide, So you sit in the front .!''
Bondita sat behind Anirudh and he started driving.
She asked him, '' Every women in your house beats you, don't you feel angry on them?''
Anirudh replied with a calm look, ''No,.Beacuse she's the one who gives us birth!''
These words left a great impact on Bondita's mind. Never in her life, she saw a MAN with such a open mind.
''Okay drop me there, That's my house.. '' Bondita screamed in his ears which made him stop.
Bondita rushed inside her small cottage and stood near the window.
Both of them starting staring at each other.
Anirudh passed a smile to her and as he started driving to his house, Bondita shouted,
''Bye!''
Anirudh turned back. He too responded, ''Bye! We'll meet again one day!'' And drove back to his house.
Bondita stood there straight, smiling.
She uttered in a soft voice , ''We'll meet for sure!''...
When she was in deep slumber at night, she dreamt of riding a bicycle by her own. She mumbled while sleeping.
This was her first vision, of her independence!
