Anidita: Mending the relationship

HOMECOMING: Part II

Bondita's POV:-

After having a short nap, I came downstairs for having my lunch.

"Bondita beta! Aao humare saath betho aur khaana khaa lo" Kaka called me. I smiled at him and sat on a chair. Kaka was sitting separately on his wooden chair and a small stool. He doesn't like to eat on dining table as he think all these things to be inferior. Baba was sitting on the head seat and reading his newspaper. I wanted to make lunch for them, but kaka have strictly denied me to do anything.

"Aaj tum itne din baad aayi ho, toh isliye tum koi kaam nahi karogi"He had announced, leaving no room for argument.

In a couple of seconds, the three RC brothers entered the dining room. I looked at Barrister babu with a stern expression which he royally ignored, irking me. He smiled and pulled a chair beside me.

Is he going to sit beside me?

Why?

He sat beside me and whispered in my ear,"Kyuki tum meri patni ho"

I looked at him with wide eyes. How come he know that what is going in my mind? And did he just called me his wife? What happened to zimmedari jaap? I looked away from him and Koyli didi came with a tray of food.

"Kaka! Main khaana toh paros hi sakti hu na?" I requested him. He was going to deny, but I gave him my puppy eyes and he melted.

"Thik hai. Paros lo" He said and I grinned.

I stood up and started serving everyone. After serving everyone, I sat at my place and we all had our food in silence when I remembered something.

I want to re-join my revolutionary group.

"Mera ho gaya. Main abhi aati hu" I stood up abruptly.

"Are par abhi toh tumne aadha khaana bhi nahi khaaya hai" Barrister babu stopped me.

"Haan beta! Khaana toh khaa lo" Baba insisted.

"Nahi baba! Vo, bahut zaruri kaam hai mujhe, aake khaa lungi" I said and went outside.

I haven't told kaka, Som dada and Batuk that I was transferring information from Dalhousie to Tulsipur. They were misleaded by me that I have left my kranti after going to Dalhousie. I won't tell them that I am going to rejoin the group, or else they will be tensed for me.

"Main vaapis se krantikari dal main shaamil hona chahti hu" I said and let out my breath.

"Pakka?" Samarth asked me.

"Haan. Pakka"

"Thik hai firr. Kal se aa jaana" He said.

"Shotti?!" I pinched my throat in excitement.

"Haan baba shotti! " He confirmed and I hugged him in excitement.

"Par... " He parted from me. "Jo maine tumhe sikhaya tha, vo tumhe yaad hai? "

I grinned at him and nodded.

"Toh kab aaogi practice ke liye? Aadhi raat main? " He asked.

"Nahi subah subah. Raat main kuchh dikhta nahi hai achhe se. "

"Par ghar par kya bologi?"

"Ghar par aarti 7:00 baje hoti hai toh main subah 4:00 baje aa jaungi"
