As soon as he saw Bondita finally with his eyes Anirudh felt like he finally got back the last hope on life his solace his Bondita is returned back to him.
He couldn't hold his emotions anymore and ran to her crying and carressed her hair and asked with breaking voice : where have you gone Bondita do you know I have literally list hope to live and kissed her face again and again and hidden her in his arms forgetting all his pain and struggle he had gone through since morning
(బొందిత ని త న కళ్లతో చూడగానే పోయిన ప్రాణం తిరిగి వచ్చినట్లు అయింది నన్ను వదిలి ఎక్కడికి వెళ్లిపోయావు బొందిత ప్రాణం పోయినట్టు అయింది తెలుసా అని తల నిమిరి గాఢంగా కౌగిలించుకుని బాధ తట్టుకోలేక తన మొహం అంటా ముద్దులు పెట్టేశాడు తనని గుండెల్లో దాచుకున్నాడు. పొద్దుటి నించి పాడిన బాధ అంతా ఆ క్షణం మార్చిపోయాడు)
Bondita is feeling ashamed and too guilty for her stupid act. (బొందిత సిగ్గు బాధతో విలవిల లాడిపోయింది. చా! అంత తెలివి తక్కువవాగా ఎలా ప్రవర్తించాను అని చాలా బాధ కలిగింది)
____________
She remembered what all happened that morning:
Flashback starts:
That day morning without any proper thinking she left the flats and started walking on road feeling hurt of her bava words previous day.
She don't know where she is going and nearly after 30 mins when a car gave continuous siren and alerted that she is walking on main road at that moment she came into sense and looked around.
That car driver and some people on road scolded her that what is she doing why is she walking aimlessly and asked her to go to home. At that moment she came into senses and looked around
She don't know in which Street is she walking where she is going and got scared to find herself on road . People on road are gazing at her some men are ogling whereas some men are passing suspicious glances
She saw one std booth initially she thought to make a call to her bava and inform him but in next moment she changed her mind she don't want to call because if she calls back she have To return back . She will become Burden, a responsibility to her bava and in one day after few years he will get her married.. she don't have eligibility to express her love if she goes back
She sat at foot steps of a shop and thinking what to do where to go .
At one side Many crazy and gloomy thoughts are smothering her brain . Other side Her little stomach is feeling hungry and throat is dried up feeling thirsty. She don't have money with her ..what to do..where to go... how to fill her stomach genuinely.
She went and stood in one shop. The shopkeeper asked: yes beta what do you want..
She hesitated and he insisted to say again. She asked she want work here. She will do anything. Just give some work
The shop keeper gazed from top to bottom and asked where are your parents..where do you stay..
She told that she don't have anyone. He started scolding her that she is telling lies might have run out of house and took phone receiver and asked his assistant to catch her he will call police
Bondita got scared and ran away from there as fast as she can .. she came into another street panting hard . And by looking into busy road and areas she started crying by sitting on one rock...
Beggars started coming and they are gazing at her. She couldn't even stay there and while thinking where can she go she remembered her classmate Avanti words that there is one ORPHANAGE in one area.
She slipped from those beggars and asked one pedestal woman about one area and an orphanage.
After asking to 10 members she is able to get the address she went walking and finally she reached that area by walking.
In that process she was followed by few goons who are trying to speak with her : Hey chori! Where are you going? Come we will drop you.
She didn't reply and Recollected her bava words who told her earlier In starting days when they came to Delhi that not to go anywhere alone without informing him and explained how kidnapping will take place and asked her to be very careful. She Recollected those words now .
One of them spoke with her by placing his hand on her shoulder: Look baby! We are like your uncles (mamas) we are from NGO who used to roam on roads and used to help street children and Desparate girls like you. Come baby we will take you safely where you want.
She didn't reply but jerked his hand away and bent as If she is taking an object and other person furiously came forward and about to hold her but she had thrown mud on their eyes and started running away
They blamed her while rubbing their faces : you Lal mirchi girl ! We will come with goons and will take you we will punish you but still she didn't stop or scared and straight forward went into ORPHANAGE without turning back
Orphanage looks very decent with good plantation and children are playing planting trees and smiling.
Bondita thought that if she could get place here she can also live here work with them and slowly forget everyone.
Even though it's hurting to forget her bava but what to do no one accepts that her love on her bava is genuine and she is damn serious about it. May be everyone will think that she was not taught values and she couldn't stay with him under one roof when he can't love her . That's why it's better if she stays away
(Author's explanation: Bondita is thinking very sensitively about her love. She don't want anyone blame or insult her love.. at that moment she felt that there is no way to get her love so in fit of rage she decided to go away from her bava)
She went inside and told ORPHANAGE people that she is an orphan and don't have anyone please let her stay here.
They gazed from top to bottom and asked questions. She got scared and couldn't answer properly. Her answers are not convincing to them.
By looking fear on her face they asked her to leave seems like you ran out of house being scared of your parents scolding you or may be you got less marks.
She shooked her head and told again and again that she don't have anyone please let me stay here. I will do all works and fell on their feet.
They didn't agree and thrown her out but she stubbornly stood at gate. Also scared that If she step out again goons may come and take her away
In the late evening one old lady attendant saw her and whispered something in orphanage manager ears. He called Bondita back and asked her softly: will you Stay as good girl
She felt happy thinking that they finally agreed and permitting her to stay. She happily nodded and told yes sir I will stay here and do whatever work you say ..I won't trouble you.
Lady attendant patted her and asked her to come with me beta and took into one room and asked her to go inside. When she went inside lady attendant closed the room and locked it. Bondita got scared and started screaming to open the door aunty please don't do this ..
When lady attendant locked her at that moment she understood in what danger she had landed and her mind filled with different kind of fears Recollecting what all she had seen in movies and what all she heard about these kind of incidents .
Now what will these ORPHANAGE people will do with her . Are they really good . Will they handover her to goons or police and do anything with her .
She Recollected her bava and started crying. She then understood what blunder she did by stepping out of house and started crying and kept on blaming herself and hitting herself on cheeks
From last 30 or 40 mins she caught hold of her breath and stayed like this. Her mind went completely blank. She prayed God to forgive her and show some way to go back she won't do this mistake again and kept on crying Wach passing second became ages to her
Finally she listened her bava voice who is yelling: My Bondita won't be here. Why will she claim herself as orphan.
She felt so relieved to hear his voice again and closed her eyes with too much guilty and cried again. How much pain her bava had in his voice. What did she do? How could she cause pain to him?
Flashback ends
________
Anirudh hugged her for nearly more than 10 mins. His heartbeat is slowly getting into normal rate .. Bondita also melted into his arms and forgotten everything. She is finding solace In his arms. She is wondering now that how can she think to leave him and go. Both are not in a state to behave normally .
But the others who are witnessing this are not able to digest this. Everyone except Satish felt wierd and frowned angrily at both Anirudh and Bondita
Vasudeva also didn't understand why Anirudh is over reacting and how can he kiss her like this .. he consider Bondita equal to his daughter .
Vaasudeva is very strict and disciplined person . In his neighbourhood area and relatives circle he won't spare any vagrant boy gazing at any girl . Whether that boy is related or not he used to go and thrash him always used to take strong class. Everyone in his area and relatives circle used to be alert when Vaasudeva is around them.
He agreed to support ANIRUDH and Bondita because he used to speak frequently with Anirudh when Satish and Anirudh are studying in London. Anirudh is quite supportive to his son and because of Anirudh only Satish passed with good percentage of marks in London University
He strongly believed that Anirudh is a well mannered decent guy never misbehaved with girls. But today whatever he saw with his eyes seems like he had overestimated about ANIRUDH. Angry is creeping up slowly and thought These youngsters won't change their ways
SI also saw this and he too Started passing nasty comments that : looks like Laila majnu got united and about to shout: hey ..
Satish understood and spontaneously reacted and stopped everyone to comment on them and took them into office room.
Vasudeva: hey Satish ! Why are you bringing us here . That ANIRUDH!
(ఏరా సతీష్! మమ్మల్ని బయటికి తీసుకు వస్తావేమిటీ రా? వాడు ఆ అనిరుధ్..)
Satish requested by folding his hands to his father : I beg you naanna , don't speak anything about this at this moment . (And signaled that SI is there). Don't judge him because he just kissed and hugged her . It is all because of tension he faced till now.
We all are also worried that if we can find her safe and alive . It's really no less than a miracle that we found our girl safely in this metropolitan city.. so
Vaasudeva frowned and still not convinced but kept quiet
They both went and made SI silent and paid him another 25000 along with tips to head constables and sent them away . They assured that it won't happen again and we will make sure that girl will be safe and won't bring Unnecessary headaches
Police left. Satish left out a deep breath keeping hand on his chest but Vaasudeva is still not convinced he caught hold of his son's collar from back and asked with serious face : you donkey! what is happening between them ? I just pitied and helped them but I am not liking their behaviour. Seems like they both don't stay in limits are doing any wrong out of teenage craziness ?
(ఏరా గాడిదా! ఏం జరుగుతోంది రా వాళ్ల ఇద్దరి మధ్య? ఏధో పోనీలే అని సహాయం చేసాను. కానీ వాళ్ళ తీరు నాకు ఏమి నచ్చలేదు. వాళ్ళిద్దరూ అసలు హద్దుల్లోనే వున్నట్టు లేరు.వయసు వేడి లో ఏదైన తప్పు చేస్తున్నారా?)
Satish also irritantingly yelled : Naanna! whatever you are thinking is not true..you also go back to home I will come to you and speak with you. I will bring money from Anirudh and give it to you.
While this father and son discussion is going on Orphanage manager and lady attendant saw Anidita in each other's arms and yelled on this both to take that girl and that boy and leave. Is this a cinema going on here . They both are spoiling the environment. Get out all of you. we don't want any issues here
Anirudh then came into sense realising what had happened what he had done just now and what she had done and started becoming furious on her he released her from his hug and took a step back
Bondita is still guilty for her foolishness when he released her from hug she told with tears closing her eyes : so...Sorry..bava
Her sorry irked him more and his eyes became dark and staring at her recollecting that Orphanage manager words that the girl told that she is an orphan
HIS BONDITA TOLD THAT SHE IS AN ORPHAN..HIS BONDITA TOLD THAT SHE IS AN ORPHAN... THAT MEANS HE IS DEAD FOR HER. SHE DON'T WANT HIM IN HER LIFE. THAT'S WHY SHE LEFT AND WENT AWAY CARING DAMN ABOUT HIM.
He became so livid and literally hissing with anger and breathing heavily
When He didn't respond she again told sorry baava I know I behaved foolishly
Still he didn't respond she opened her eyes fearfully and looked at him. His eyes are red and emitting fire and looking like possessed
She was shivered from head to toe and tried to hold his hand but he jerked away and glass object hit his hand and it injured his hand scaring her.
Everyone outside listened to the sound and got startled . Satish with forced smile told he will manage you all stay here only and went inside..
She tried to hold his hand worriedly but he moved back and stopped her hissing angrily and pointing finger to her : STOP THERE RIGHT NOW . YOU BECAME ORPHAN RIGHT. THAT MEANS I AM DEAD FOR YOU. RIGHT BONDITA
( ఆగు అక్కడే. ఏం చెప్పావు . అనాధా అని చెప్పవా? ఆ! అనాధా అని చెప్పావా? అంటే నేను చచ్చిపోయాననేగా దాని అర్థం. అంతే కదా బొందిత)
Bondita is bewildered and shooked her head telling no with tears . It's not correct
Anirudh: IT IS ...IT IS. I AM DEAD FOR YOU. SO YOU CAME HERE TO JOIN IN ORPHANAGE. BY THE WAY WHEN DID I DIE IN YOUR PERSPECTIVE.
.
Bondita is literally Shattered to listen these kind of harsh and cruel words from his mouth and his dark looks it's better not to focus on his eyes else she will definitely have heart attack
Satish came and saw that his hand Is injured orphanage manager also came at back and yelled that how can you spoil our property
Satish gave him money Vaasudeva left from there angrily passing displeasing looks to his son and not understanding this drama between Anirudh and Bondita.
That kissing and passionately hugging and now screaming and breaking things Vaasudeva is not at all convinced with Anirudh's behaviour, he got irritated and left from there.
Satish also losing patience and came to Anirudh and told. Slowly but firmly with serious face: Anirudh! Is it not enough what happened from morning to till now . Why are you creating more scene here.? With much difficulty I have sent police and my father from here. Already I have to go and give lot of explanation to my father. Lets go from here. Whatever is there we will go to home and talk to this girl (and passed displeasing looks to Bondita)
By seeing Satish serious face and the way he addressed her as this girl instead of calling her as sister affectionately had hurt her and drowned in too much guilty feeling.
Bondita is thinking: Satish annaya is always a jovial person always used to play jokes and make others happy. He will do comedy in serious situation also. But that person also today became serious. All because of me . What have I done today?
Also he took police name that means they have approached police to find her. She is now slowly understanding their struggle by seeing their tired And swollen faces. She had put all of them in risk and made them run on roads throughout the day .
She rubbed her forehead with tension
Anirudh also came into sense and controlled his anger by clenching his fists and gritting his teeth seriously
And satish hurried Anirudh and Bondita . Anirudh dragged Bondita without looking at her and she too followed him silently. They three left from there hired a taxi and got into it.
Anirudh intentionally took front seat with driver and insisted Satish to take back seat . Bondita looked hurt
Throughout the way Anirudh didn't spare any glance to Bondita or he didn't even talk to her but he is realising inside one fact which he had literally pushed till before day but today with this incident he understood and his heart started acknowledging one thing that ... that...He lo.. love..
He immediately shouted outside : No..no this is not the truth.
Satish and Bondita got startled and driver suddenly stopped the car. Driver asked what happened sir
Anirudh told : Nothing.. nothing . Please take us fast .
Driver Started the vehicle again
Bondita bent forward and tried to place her hand on his shoulder but he stopped her hand in middle and signaled her to move back
She felt hurt and looking at him with teary eyes .yes she deserves this punishment for her stupid act.
Satish told : Relax Anirudh..just calm down . Do you want water
ANIRUDH shooked his head and closed his eyes trying to self counsel that it's not at all love
Bondita looked at both of them . Both are looking very serious. She is getting smothered with guilty and bent her head and sobbing silently
_______
They three returned back to flats and There some of the people kumudini Tai, her husband Madhukar sarada and some other genuine families are waiting for them .
They felt relieved and started their enquiry of what happened where did she go is she kidnapped...
Satish signaled madhukar who told his wife to take them inside and make them take food.
While going boys parents came and attacked Anirudh and Bondita with words and reprminaded them.
From their words Bondita understood that her bava suspected and confronted apartment boys for her missing.
Her guilty is again crept up. Anirudh only folded his hands and apologized everyone for troubling all of them and passed cold look to her
Still they didn't leave and kept on reprimanding both and telling this is why elders are needed and we strongly suspect you both are orphans or eloped pair
(Author's explanation: You all may wonder that in previous day they all almost agreed with Anirudh's explanation again why they are asking and commenting. But it is nature of society whenever any negative situation comes they will easily throw blame.)
Here Satish Interferred and clarified then that because of suspicious gazes and talks of you people my sister Bondita felt Disheartened and left.
Bondita cried happy tears that Satish came for her rescue in public even though he is angry on her .
Satish is continuing his ranting:
Don't you people speak properly and just because your boys are not involved that doesn't mean that they are genuine. Just go and Listen to their private talks you won't raise your heads proudly and walk in streets
Boys parents couldn't counter them back whereas kumudini Tai and some other apartment residents came to door side of Anirudh Bondita apartment and assured them that they won't suspect you both. Don't do anything hastily live peacefully here and all left
They both got into flats and Anirudh is about to go into his room without speaking or looking at anyone
Madhukar and sarada came with food carriage. Sarada scolded both of them and served food in plates for both of them and satish too.
Madhukar and sarada made them have food. Anirudh is about to go without having food . Bondita is not having courage to stop him .
Sarada understood that their state of minds are not well so she stood with them until they eat. Madhukar went to send back all apartment residents
Anirudh finished eating soon took out his plate placed outside and about to clean. Bondita also finished dinner and she took out her plate and satish plate and stood at Anirudh's back .
Sarada told both : tomorrow morning Malini will come you come and sit here you both. We will talk with Bondita.
But Anirudh told harshly: no sarada garu , I am dead and she became orphan there is nothing this dead body should talk to her.
Bondita hurriedly kept plates and washed her hands and held his arm before he leave into his room and tried to speak: Not you but I am dead today . (He turned and looked seriously at her) don't do this to me bava . I am already dying inside with guilt. Please give me a chance to speak... please I know I am at fault. But culprits are also given a chance to talk before they are punished. Please bava . I beg you
But he jerked away looking painfully at her with teary eyes Recollecting in which places he searched for her and quickly went into his room almost closed it with thud sound literally making Bondita shiver.
But even though he closed door they all saw that he stood behind door as his shadow is clearly visible to them
Satish is also about to leave with serious face by telling sarada but Bondita ran and held his hand and asked emotionally: Annaya ! You also won't talk with me ? Please annaya .. just give me a chance.
Both of your silence is killing me and sat on knees.
Here inside Anirudh's eyes caught tears he wanted to go back and hold her but he know that his state of mind is not in control perhaps he won't behave decently with her ..he may cuddle her and place her in his lap and carress her forgetting his limits.
Already he had crossed limits and created a scene infront of everyone..not anymore
Satish felt pity and lifted her came and sat with her in sofa and told what all struggles they have faced from morning how harshly SI had spoken later when her bava got suspicion on apartment boys how he went and thrashed everyone.
How madly he searched for her by asking everyone on Roads and in which places they have searched like mortuary red light areas.. how harshly police had spoken about both of them and their relationship.
She is literally shivered and broken to learn all this. How much her bava had suffered throughout the day
He asked her seriously to tell what made her run away like this . She couldn't answer properly and cried again.
He insisted but she couldn't answer and sarada who is standing beside by Recollected their previous day bumping into eachother and he telling not to bring topic of financial status. Sarada thought that Bondita ran away that she don't want to be a burden to ANIRUDH
She told the same to Satish.
Satish turned to Bondita and asked is it true. Bondita couldn't say that it's not true. She had other reason for leaving him but if she openly express it she will be scolded and asked to remove those kind of thoughts
Sarada and madhukar are about to leave but Satish stopped and told that today he will reveal their story and started speaking with Bondita
Satish : Bondita ! Do you know why you are brought here.
She nodded.
Satish : because you don't have safety with your own people. To save you from your own evil people he had created one drama at Hyderabad and brought you here this far place and making you study giving you chance to pursue your dreams.
I hope you have not forgotten your situation right .
Do you know how this society behaves. They don't want to know about our pains and difficulties . All they do is to poke their noses in others lives but won't come for our rescue when we are in need.
Even your own Trilochan Mavayya and kalindi Attamma had left you just because your Amma and the people around her had spoken harshly with them. At one stage none of our close relatives , friends can come for our rescue when our own parents are against them ..
. . But despite of knowing all this despite of your mother showing her displeasure and hatred towards him who is the one who didn't leave your hand ? Who stood for you selflessly ? It's ANIRUDH...your bava.
She nodded with tears and understanding the sacrifice he is doing for her
Satish: Do you know what punishment will he face if your Amma learns that you are alive pretended that you are dead in Hyderabad and taken away by Anirudh? Can you even imagine?
(Bondita is shivering inside)
He will be arrested on Kidnapping charges, eloping with minor girl and may be in sexual harrasment also. He will be picturised as a pedophile His life will be completely ruined.
Bondita: No bava never misbehaved with me. he is not a pedophile..he is pure
Satish: who wants your damm opinion? Nobody cares about a minor feeling and everyone believes that whatever they see with their eyes .
Until you become major cross 18 years of age have maturity your voice can't have power.
But still despite of knowing all these consequences Anirudh had taken up your responsibility. He isn't worried about himself but only worried about you and your future.
He wants to protect you from evil clutches of this society and brought you here. And look at you what you are doing..is this the way you behave..
I am damn sure that your reason might not be that stronger than your bava sacrifice? Right
Bondita nodded her head. He explained Anirudh's state of mind once again and told how much he cried for her and after seeing you he literally lost control on his feelings and kissed you. It's you who pushed him to that situation else you also know that Anirudh never crossed his limits .
He intentionally told this to clear guilty feeling in his friend's heart else he know Anirudh will blame himself and in that rage he may do anything to him and also to remove if Bondita had any doubts in her mind about her bava
Satish: For that act also now he and I should go and give explanation to my father tomorrow and also to that SI.
She understood the situation very well and told that from now onwards she won't do anything impulsively from now on will behave as a responsible girl
And asked everyone to leave she will apologise Him . Satish told Anirudh from outside that he is leaving . Take care.
Madhukar and Sarada also left from there suggesting Bondita to understand ANIRUDH who is sacrificing everything for her and left.
Bondita locked the door and came back
She came to his door and knocked. He didn't respond. But still his shadow is at door side. She saw it and kept on apologizing him with tears. All she could tell is: bava ! A fear crept up in my mind and I believed strongly that it's going to happen in future. At any cost I don't want that to happen. The mere thought only scared me .. that's why I behaved foolishly.
Bava ! I am unable to carry this Guilty burden anymore. It's hurting me and crushing me.. please come out and forgive me once. I won't trouble you in anyway and became unconscious and laid on floor
His angry is melted but he found a dangerous angle in him - what did he do the moment he discovered her ..
Till that moment to now his conscience is giving name to his feelings but he is pushing away and not able to face it and her also ..
When her voice is stopped his intuition got worried and opened the door immediately and saw that she is lying Unconscious at door side.
Her face is completely swollen and slept like that . He is moved away and tried to shook her but she went into deep sleep so he carried her in his arms and placed her on bed.
Precap: A dangerous silence is prevailing between Anirudh and Bondita.
Trikal and Bunty landed in Delhi
