Anidita: Mending the relationship

MUHIM: Part VI

Bondita's POV:- 

Ahh! My head. Why is it hurting so much? Did someone kept piles of books on my head? I slowly opened my eyes. Where am I? Who am I? I blinked my eyes for a clear vision. The place looked like my room. I slowly got while pressing my temples . Ouch! Why my head is paining so much?

Oh wait! What happened yesterday? As much as I remember, it was Dol yesterday and we were dancing and enjoying then Devika didi gave me a glass of thandai and after that I don't remember anything.

I sat straight on the bed and found a note at my side table. I picked it up and read it:

Thoda sa nimbu paani pilena. Sar ka dard kam ho jaayega

Nimbu paani? Who kept it here? And the person who kept this note knew that my head is paining. Or it will pain! Ahhh! This headache! Let me drink some nimbu paani then only I will think anything.

I called koyli didi. "Koyli didi!! "

No response came. Kaha hai sab? I checked the time. Hey dugga maa! 8:30 baj gaye aur kisine mujhe uthaya nahi? I got up to get ready but again layed down on bed as my head again started to pain.

I heard some footsteps and thinking that it's koyli didi I said, "Koyli didi! Ek glass nimbu paani le aayiye. Sar main bahut dard ho raha hai" I closed my eyes, holding my head.

She didn't replied. I heard some voice and understood that she have kept something on the table. She sat beside me and started massaging my head but it's not her hand! It's not a woman's hand! This touch seems like it's barrister babu?!

I jerked my eyes open and it was Barrister babu who was massaging my head. I quickly sat back and maintained an arm distance with him while he frowned.

"Aap yaha kya kar rahe hain? "

"Aaj sab log mandir gaye hai aur tum so rahi thi toh kaka ne bola ki tumhe aaraam karne dena chahiye. Main toh vaise bhi mandir nahi jaata toh main yahi ruk gaya. " He explained.

They left me? They left me with Rakshas babu? Seriously kaka sasur ji?!

"Haan thik hai ab aap jaa sakte hain"

"Tumhare sar main dard ho raha hai laao main daba deta hu" He said and came near me while I shifted on the other side. Why is he behaving so? Till these many days, he didn't even cared about me. Then why now?

"Koi zarurat nahi hai. Main nimbu paani pilungi toh thik ho jaaungi. Aap chale jaaiye. " I stood up but stumbled and took the support of table.

"Bondita! " He held my hand. "Kya kar rahi ho ye? Jab sar main dard ho raha hai tab bhi chup chap nahi baith sakti. " He scolded me like I am a 2 yr old kid.

"Aap daant kyu rahe ho mujhe? "

"Kyuki tum isi layak ho"

"Huh! Rakshas babu" I muttered under my breath.

"Tumhe samajh nahi aata kya? Jab keh raha hu ki main sar daba deta hu magar nahi. Apne aage kisi ki sunti kaha ho tum?........" He started blabbering and made me drink the nimbu paani which he had brought. I just stared at him and he was constantly scolding me but I didn't payed any heed to him.

"........ Bondita Roy Chaudhary ko toh bas apni man maani karni hai" He said and I remembered his marriage with Manorama didi and his betrayal. I jerked his hand and left from there.

How can you Bondita? How can you forget everything he did to you? How?! Why did you everytime get weak, when he is near you? If I will stay with him then surely I will fall weak and for that I only have one option. Dalhousie!

Anirudh's POV:-

What happened to her? Why did she went suddenly? I looked at the empty glass in my hand. Have I hurt her so much that she didn't even want to see me now? Have I took a wrong decision? No. Whatever I had done is for her only. For her bright future. I will tell her the whole truth after Manorama's muhim and then everything will be normal.

I looked around the room. Earlier her room was filled with toys, dolls and books but now the toys are gone. The dolls are kept in the cupboard. I opened her cupboard and found her doll. It was the same doll with which she always played. Gudda-gudiya ki shaadi. I chuckled remembering her antics.

I picked up the doll but some clothes also fell down. The strange thing is that the clothes also made a noise, like something else is also kept in it. Suspiciously, I took the clothes and was going to check it when someone snatched it from me.

"Aapki himmat kaise hui mera saamaan chhune ki? " Bondita said rudely, hiding the clothes behind her back which made me more suspicious.

"Kya hai usme? " I asked her.

"Ki-kisme? "

"Un kapdo main. Maine kuchh girne ki awaz suni thi. "

"K.. Kuchh nahi hai usme aur aaj ke baad mere saaman ko haath mat lagana"

"Kyu nahi lagana? Tumhari har cheez par mera hak hai" I said angrily.

"Hak hai nahi, hak tha. Jab aapne Manorama didi se shaadi kari thi, tab hi humara rishta khatam ho gaya tha"

"Bondita tum-"

"Aap please jaaiye yahan se"

I went from there banging my fist on the cupboard. Why Bondita why? Why did you changed so much? Now I can't even touch your belongings? Have I became so strange for you?

Bondita's POV:-

I opened the clothes in my hand and picked up the dagger from it. It's not safe to keep these types of things in my cupboard. I need to keep them separately or else if anyone found it then I will fall in a great trouble.

I looked here and there and quickly kept the dagger in the clothes and the clothes in my closet. Purane saaman vale kamre main shayad kuchh mil jaaye. I went towards store room and opened the door. Dust particles welcomed me and I coughed in response. I went inside and there were spider web all around. Slowly and steadily, I started searching for anything in which I can store my revolutionary belongings.

"Ye thik lag raha hai" I found a wooden box. I held it and dragged it outside. It was covered with dust and spider webs. I blew the dust and cleaned it. It looked very traditional and beautiful. I opened it and to my happiness it was all empty.

I dragged it till my room and thank god! Nobody was at home and Barrister babu was in his study. It was easy for me to take it till my room. As soon as I reached in my room, I took a sigh of relief and opened the box to keep my things in it.

"Bondita! " I jumped as I heard Barrister babu's call.

"A-aap.....ya...yaha? "

"Haan vo mera rumaal yaha gir gaya tha vahi lene aaya tha par tum is bakse ke saath kya kar rahi ho"

I can feel sweat beads on my forehead. "N...nahi vo k...kuchh nahi"

"Tum mujhse kuchh chhupa toh nahi rahi ho na? " He asked me sternly.

"N... Nahi main kyu kuchh chhupaungi" I laughed nervously.

"Par-"

"Anirudh! Bondita bahu! "

We heard kaka sasur ji's call and I closed my eyes in relief.
