ANIDITA : A Life For Revolution

CHAPTER 6 : Part 2

Anirudh's p.o.v

"Dada..." Will pounced on me the moment he saw me.

"Arre arre" I chuckled, struggling to balance and hugging him back.

"Kitne saal huye dada? Pata hai kitna miss kiya apko?"

"Sirf tumne hi nahi meine bhi bohot miss kiya hai tumhe pagal" I replied, hitting his head playfully.

"Sach mein dada, jab maa ne bataya ki aap aa gaya hai, mujhe yakeen hi nahi ho raha tha"

"Acha toh phir khud dekh lo" I stuck out my hands beside me "Mein hoon yahan" I winked at him.

"Haan chalo chalo bohot baatein karna hai aapse ghar jaake karenge. Bondita tum bhi chalo" He said restlessly and jumped into the car.

"Chalo Bondita" I said laughing slightly.

"I can't believe you two haven't stopped it yet" I snickered at the Benedict couple.

"You know this isn't that simple to stop Anirudh" Sam replied smiling.

"Dada ap toh jante hai na in donon ko" Will shook his head.

"Aate hi hamare tang kheenchna zaroori hai kya? Meine toh tumhare liye pyaar se itna sab kuch banaya tha aur tum yahan meri mazak uda raha hai. Khao beta, khoob khao" Daya didi joked.

"Didi..." I whined mockingly.

"Bondita tum chup kyun hai?" Didi enquired.

She has been the same ever since that day. How much I wish my Bondita to come back! These people haven't seen the real Bondita yet. But then again, I hope I will be successful to bring her back before I return.

"Kuch nahi didi mein toh sun rahi thi sab kuch" she fake-smiled.

"Tumhari tabiyat theek hai na?" She enquired again.

"Kya hua Bondita? Kuch pareshani hai kya?" I immediately find myself checking her temperature.

She winced at my touch, I wonder why. But I focused on her temperature which seemed fine.

"Mein theek hoon" she muttered uncomfortably.

Is she uncomfortable around me? From when? When I return back to the people around, everyone was grinning stupidly at the two of us. What is everyone's problem here? Why are everybody being so... unfathomable? I dug into the food frowning. This is getting very weird.

By the time I finished, everyone has assembled in the living room.

"Haan toh Anirudh tum jakar aaram kar lo, aate hi bhaag raha tha na meeting keliye" Didi commented.

"Yeah that's right. You need rest young man" Sam defended.

"Sam apko keise pata chala didi kya bol rahi thi?" I quizzed, amused.

"All thanks to our little Barrister here" he shrugged and gave a pointed glare to Bondita "I'm pretty sure I'll start speaking your language within these three years"

I laughed at his annoyance.

"Chalo dada, apka purana kamra toh mera ban chuka hai lekin koyi baat nahi ham aj ek hi kamre mein rahenge... Bohot baatein karna hai apse" Will started dragging me upstairs when Daya didi interrupted.

"Will! Ruk ja! Kya bhool gaya tum tumhare kamre mein repair works chal raha hai?" she glowered at him.

"Repair work?" I murmured.
