Barrister Babu OS

Aye Dil laya hai Bahar

This is not in continuation.
Here Bondita is same as Som and elder to Batuk.

Binoy was sitting in his room holding Shubhra's photograph. Tears finding their way down his face.

It was true that he was living in a black hole. He could not come out of the death of Shubhra. He was still blaming himself for her death. For not getting her the much needed treatment for her health. If she would have gotten a doctor to look after her she would have been here with us.

"Shubhra maine dekha hai Bondita ko , woh bilkul tumhare jaise hai "

"Kehte hain ki jo pehla baccha hota hai woh baap pe jata hai  , dekha hai maine Aniruddh bilkul meri tarah hai aur Bondita tumhari tarah "

"Un donon ki jodi ekdum kamari jaise hai , par Bondita ko dekh kar tumhari bohot yaad aati hai "

"Ab toh maine uske saath itne bure karam kar diye hain ki usse nazare milana bhi mushkil ho gaya hai mere liye "

"Zindagi mei pehli baar guilt tab hua tha jab mujhe pata chala tha ki woh Heera Mandi mein hai "

"Aur jab Saudamini ka asali chehra saamne aaya tha aur mujhe pata chala tha ki usne da ke saath kya kiya hai "

"Pata nahi ki sab theek hoga ki nahin par main koshish zaroor karunga "

He sleeps hugging the photo close to his heart with tears.

He wakes up the next morning to the aroma of English tea made by Bondita. It has become a daily routine , she would keep the tea on his bedside table without any noise and he would get up by its aroma.

He had thought to make this day different. To start with he was determined to attend today's Aarti.

Bondita was singing in melodious voice while he was just standing there with his hand down.

When she turned after finishing the aarti she was shocked to see him at the last.

She gave the offerings to everyone and it was now the time to serve him. With her each step all of the memories were coming back.

"Tum meri Bahu nahin ho "

"Apna ye natak band karo "

"Tumne mere bete ki zindagi kharab kar di"

"Tumne chhina hai mera beta "

She was walking towards him with slow steps. Hesitantly she kept the ladduo on his hand and looked upto him while he smiled.

Bondita could not believe that he just smiled at her. After all these years finally his heart was changing. Maybe he could accept her.

I was in the kitchen making breakfast when sounds screaming and yelling from the table.

I witnessed the father and son fighting over a petty issue.

"Pati Babu can never control his anger "

"Pati babu shaant ho jaiye "

"Dheerajta se sun lijiye Sasur ji ko kya kehna hai "

Binoy's P.O.V

Aniruddh being the short tempered he is. Could not be controlled by anyone , even Saudamini. But this girl can do it so well. She is like Shubhra in front of me. Even Da feels like it. We have talked about it at every circumstances.
