Manorama's POV:-

Anaya! The new member of our revolutionary group. She looked like just 15-16 years. I don't know why but may be I have seen her somewhere. Her eyes! Her eyes were kinda familiar as if I have seen those eyes somewhere else.

"Manorama! " Anirudh came in my room, bringing me out of my thoughts. "Kal dol purnima hai"

I nodded.

"Tumhe yaad haina ki kya karna hai? " He asked me.

"Anirudh mat karo na ye sab. Aisa karke tum sirf Bondita ko dukh pahucha rahe ho aur kuchh nahi" I tried to explain him but all in vain.

"Nahi Manorama! Ab main peeche nahi hatunga. Bondita ko sahi raaste par laane ke liye jo karna pade main karunga. "

He turned his face and kept his hands on table, hiding his tears. "Use jitna todna pade, main todunga. Use jitna dard dena pade, main dunga. Par use sahi raaste par laakar rahunga. Uske aaj main jitna andhera aur dard hai, usse zyada roshni aur khushiyaan uske bhavishya main hongi." He said, spreading his arms in air with a proud smile on his face.

His words and actions confuses me a lot. Sometimes he may shout at her, make her jealous, break her and other times he says that he is doing this all for her, he is proud of her, he cares for her. I can't understand what he wants but one thing is sure that he loves Bondita and Bondita loves him.




Bondita's POV:-

"I hate you" I screamed and woke up with a jerk, panting and gasping.

"Sapna tha" I sighed, poured water in my glass from jug and drank it in a go. Since Barrister babu have married Manorama didi, nightmares have started to haunt me.

Barrister babu marrying Manorama didi. Me begging and crying for him not do so. Maa abandoning me ruthlessly. Boys harassing me. Society taunting me. And whatever I can do is just go on top of a hill, cry and scream 'I hate you Barrister babu'

Sapne mein bhi rone ke siwaaye kuchh nahi kar sakti main. I chuckled painfully and checked the time. It was 4:00 AM now. I have to go downstairs in a couple of hours. Usually the morning is done at 7:00 AM but as it's dol purnima today so kaka sasur ji will pray to dugga maa early and then Kanha ji.

I thought to write my diary. I have started maintaining a diary since a year but I only write it on some special occasions or when I can't express my feelings to anyone. After washing my face, I sat on my study table and started writing.

Dear Diary babu,

Aaj mujhe firr vahi sapna aaya. Main apne man ko kitna bhi behla lu par vo drishya humesha meri aankho ke saamne aa jate hain. Pata nahi kyu kiya Barrister babu ne aisa. Kya chahti thi main? Sirf unka saath. Sirf unse itna aashvaasan (Consolation) ki vo hamesha mere saath rahenge, chahe jo ho, kabhi mera haath nahi chhodenge.

Ek darr tha mujhe. Firse chhodi hui aurat banneka ka darr. Agar vo mujhe firr chhod dete aur main firr heera mandi jaisi jagah main fas jaati toh? Kya vo bachaane aate mujhe?
