Rudhita - Jeene Bhi De

Ourburst.

Next Morning.

Anika's Room.

Anika wad sleeping keeping her head on Bondita's lap while Bondita slept by the sitting on the bed.
Her eyebrows twitched when she heard a knock on the door.

She opened her eyes and got scared seeing an unknown place but soon realised that this place was her Sasuraal.

She tried to get up but seeing Anika on her lap,she just asked the unknown person to come in.

Kaka was standing with Koyli with some thaal in his hands.

Bondita tried to get up but Kaka indicated her to stop.

Kaka : Ab tum Roy Chowdhary parivaar ki bahu ho. Roy Chowdhurayin ho. Isliye ussi ke anusaar taiyaar hona hoga tumhe. Yeh saadi aur gehne pehenke neeche aa jana.

Bondita frowned but sighing she nodded. Kaka turned to leave but remembered something and turned back only get surprised.

Bondita carefully got up so that Anika's sleep wouldn't be broken. She placed a pillow under her head . Anika stirred in her sleep. Bondita slowly patted her head and Anika soon went back to sleep.

Kaka saw her and with a smile left the room while Bondita not knowing where to change her saree , used Anika's Room .

Bondita's room.

Anirudh who was sleeping on the bed scrunched his face as the sunlight fell on his face.
He got up rubbing his eyes but was shocked to see himself in other room.

Anirudh: mein yahan..kaise? Ahhh..
He held his head as it was paining very badly.
He went to his room to freshen up.

Coming outside he saw , Bondita talking to Kaka .
Kaka saw Anirudh and asked him to come.

Anirudh and Bondita looked at eachother and then turned away.
Awkward.

Kaka,sarcasm : Uth gye Fitoori babu.

Anirudh confused: hain kon?

Kaka : Kal raat kya gondogol kiya hai yaad hai yaa nhi. Khair jo kiya so kiya. Ab woh iss ghar ki bahu hai.

Anirudh: Kaka jo kiya uski jaan bachane ke liye kiya.

Kaka : Arre Vidhwa thi. Vidhwaon ka kaam hi hai apni pati ke raah pe chalna. Pati agar chala jaye toh uske peeche peeche chale jaana.

Anirudh and Bondita raising an eyebrow : Aur kyun mare woh?

Kaka : Arre bhai, pati ke baad agar woh sati nhi hogi toh kya karegi? Arre yahi reet hai samaaj ki.

Bondita: bohot hi zyada khokli aur ghatya reet hai. Kisi ka marna humare haath mein nhi hota. Bhagwaan ke haath mei hota hai. Aur samaaj waale hote kon hai kisi ki zindagi ke faisle lene wale.

Kaka : Bahu , kenchi ke tarah zubaan chal rhi hai tumhari. Zara lagaam lagao.

Anirudh: Galat kya kaha usne? Sahi toh kaha. Hum hote kon hai kuch nhi faisla lene waale hai? Uski zindagi woh jaise jeena chahe. Aurrat ko khilona yaa cheez nhi hai ki jab chahe iapne paas rakho aur jab nhi pasand phek do. Aurat apne balbuthe pe kuch bhi kar sakti hai.Woh kuch ban bhi sakti hai.

Kaka: kya banegi? Tumhari tarah barrister ?
And laughed.

Anirudh : Aap jisse bahu maan rhe hain woh ek Barrister hi hai.

Kaka: kya kuch bhi.

Kaka looked at the seriousness of Anirudh's face and then at Bondita said: Sach mein?

Anirudh: Haan.

Kaka : kaise Pata?

Anirudh: Apka beta peheli baar isse hi case mein hara tha.
