Barrister babu: Love is magic

Chapter-15 "Married? "

Bondita's POV:-

I hugged him out of fear. When I hugged him I saw something. A dark corridor and two persons, handcuffed. This was so fast that I was not able to see the place or the person. I opened my eyes with a jerk and separated myself from him.

What was it? I never saw this scene in my whole life then why now suddenly?

"What happened to the fearless Bondita Das? " He said sarcastically but I was not in a mood to fight with him. My whole concentration is on the scene which I just saw.

"Bondita? " He kept his hand on my shoulder, bringing me out of my thoughts.

"H-hmm? "

"Are you fine? "

"Yes yes. " I think that I am thinking too much, this would be probably a scene of some movie which I would have seen in past.

"Now what should we do? " I asked him, looking at the punctured tyre.

"I don't know"

"And I don't know what do you know" I said under my breath but enough loud to be heard by him.

Of course I want him to listen.

"Excuse me miss DDD I think that you also don't know what to do? "

I think that I can't say anything now because I really don't know what to do. So, to hide my worried face I turned around.

"Wait! Can't we be in car till morning? " I said turning again at him.

"You mad or dumb? " He said mockingly.

"What do you mean" I said angrily.

"Do you know if we will turn on the car then the petrol will be over in midnight only and then we both will Rest In Peace" He said with a toothy smile, of course ridiculing me

"So what should we do? " I said frustrated.

"Let's go a little ahead may be we can find a shelter there? "

"Hmm it's nice than standing here between the wild animals."

We both went a little far on the road and spotted a hut there, a bonfire burning outside of the hut, may be to prevent it from wild animals. We went in the outskirts club as the clubs in city are either very busy or houseful. And now I am regretting for it. I looked towards Anirudh and gestured him to go in the hut. He nodded and we both went there.

I knocked at the door. An old lady, seems to be in her 60s, opened the door. She smiled at Anirudh but when she saw me her smile vanished and her eyes, which were earlier filled with surprise, turned into... Disgust?

"Yes? " She asked us.

"Actually our car have been punctured and we need a shelter to spend the night so if you don't have any problem can we stay here? " Anirudh requested her.

She nodded her head and said, "Of course you can stay here but I have a condition"

"What condition? " I asked her.

"Only married couple can live here. " She said and I gasped. I looked towards Anirudh, who was worried like me. After a second, he blinked at me in assurance.

"Yes we both are married. " He said and I was shocked but somewhere felt happy too.

She checked me from up and down.

"Where is your vermillion and nuptial chain (mangalsutra)? " She said suspiciously.

"Umm...... Vermillion.... Nuptial chain........ Yes actually we are from America and we have married there only and there is no vermillion or nuptial chain wore there. " He said and I looked at him in astonishment.

Wow how can someone lie so fastly.

"And what is she wearing" She said in disgust. I then realised that I am in my short dress. That's why she was looking at me in disgust. But what problem she have if I wore this dress. I wanted to outburst on her but Anirudh held my hand and replied calmly, "We went to party that's why she is wearing this dress"

She was silent for a couple of seconds.

"I won't allow her in this dress. If she wants to stay here than she will have to wear some decent clothes. "

This woman!

"Okay she will " He said.

"No I... " I was going to deny but he glared at me, "She will"

I will see you once I reach under this Aunty's house.

"Okay come inside. " She welcomed us.

Huh! After this humiliation why are you welcoming us.

I made a face and entered.

"You come here" She called me rudely. I went with her and she gave me some salwar kameez.

"Wear it. It's of my daughter but she is in her in-law's house so you can wear it. "

I am sitting on the bed in a maroon salwar kameez, holding my dead phone and rotating it. I don't know where is Anirudh. I have not seen him since Usha Aunty gave me this salwar kameez. By the way this is more comfortable to sleep than my previous dress. Rama, Usha aunty's daughter, is of 25 and lives in a nearby village with her in-laws. She is a kind of girl who is not in studies but household chores. Of course Usha aunty have told her that girls should only do household chores. I got to know that Rama have only studied till 10th. I feel too bad for her. She could have more good life, if she would have been studied. I sighed. Of course I can't help her now.

You need to help yourself first.

Usha aunty's hut only have two bedrooms, one for her and another was of her daughter, which is now a guest room. A small kitchen with a traditional chulha. I and Anirudh have to live in one room. The thought of living with him in a single room, made me blush. Why the hell am I blushing! I need to call at home also otherwise mumma and papa will be tensed. But how? My phone is dead and that Anirudh, he is of no use. Ugh! Where is he?

I went to search for him. I spotted a beautiful river and can't resist myself to dip my feet in the river and stare the moon, to be free from all the stress.

"What are you doing here? " I heard Anirudh. He came and sat beside me.

"Nothing. Just tired with all the happenings of today."

"Hmm"

"By the way did you think of how to call our parents? "

He nodded and exclaimed happily, " I have already called them and explained the situation"

"What! How? " I asked him surprised.

"I asked Usha aunty if there is any phone in the house. She said that there is no phone in the house but there is a PCO, a little far from the hut. I was there only. I told them that we both are safe. "

"Thank god! " I sighed in relief.
