Bondita's POV

Nothing really resolved after talking to Trisha. She doesn't know anything about him or where he lives now. Sahil also enquired in many places and called his friends, but they were unable to give any information. Trisha and Sahil both have suggested me to tell everything to Patibabu, but how can I tell him without knowing everything? I even don't know whether he is doing all this or it's just my hallucinations.

She went to the cupboard and took out a box from the locker and opened it. The box was full with the photos of her college days in London. Some gifts and letters were also there. She took a photo from it. Two smiling faces were seen. One of them was no other but Bondita. And a boy of almost her age was hugging her in a friendly way. His eyes were towards Bondita which were reflecting his happiness seeing his friend eating kulfi peacefully closing her eyes. A lone tear fell on the photo. "Kya yeh tum kar rahe ho Mithilesh? Agar laut hi aye ho to yeh lukachupi kyu? Aur agar tum nahi ho to kya hai yeh sab?" Bondita uttered holding that photo tightly. Her tears made her cheeks and jaw wet. After watching that photo intensely for a long time she put it again in the box and closed the locker. She sat on the bed keeping her head on the wall and started thinking about all this matters happening with her.

Bondita was so engrossed in her thoughts when she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Bondita...tum thik ho?" Oh! After a long time she felt relief hearing this voice. This was a voice she always wanted to hear, the voice which was capable to heal all her pain. She closed her eyes and sighed in relief. She immediately turned back and hugged him. Anirudh became shocked first but he didn't delay to embrace her in his arms. "Bondita tum thik ho?" He asked with concern. "Aap aa gaye hai nah, to main bilkul thik hu" she replied hugging him more tightly.
"Kya hua tha tumhe Bondita? Kaka keh rahe the tum ghar akehi dour ke kamre mein chali gayi aur darwaza bhi lock kardi...sab thik to hai nah?" Anirudh said patting her head. Bondita broke the hug. She looked at him with bewildered eyes and said, "Kakasasurji aye the?" "Haan Bondita.....aur kaka ne bohot baar darwaza khatkhataya bhi....par tumne nahi kholi...." Anirudh said cupping her face. "Par mujhe to pata hi nahi chala..." Bondita uttered like a puzzled child. "Koi baat nahi Bondita....par yeh to batao kya hua tha?" "Vo...vo mera sar bohot dukh raha tha....Kuch thikse dikhayi nahi de raha tha....Kuch sunne ko maan nahi tha....aur...aur...." Bondita closed her eyes resting her head on Anirudh's chest. Anirudh understood she was sleepy and tired too. So he took her in arms and laid her on bed , "tumne kuch khaya nahi nah?..... main abhi fresh hoke humare liye khana leke aya....sona nahi. Thik hai?" Bondita nodded with half closed eyes and Anirudh left after giving a kiss on her forehead. When Anirudh came, Bondita had already fallen asleep. Her face looked pale and her hair was messy. Anirudh felt something strange on her. All the time he had seen her sleeping peacefully with a smile on her lips. But the view was not same that day. Her lips was trembling in sleep as they were trying to say something and she was constantly moving one side to another. She was looking exhausted. Anirudh didn't want to break her sleep but if he let her sleep with empty stomach she would fallen sick next day. So he called her and made her sit on the bed keeping a pillow on the backside. He started feeding her with his own hand and Bondita was eating with sleepy eyes.

Next day Bondita woke up and didn't find Anirudh there. She came out of the room and saw Bihari. "Bhari Babu.... patibabu kaha hai?" Bondita called him. "Vo chote malik to kisi jaruri kamse subha subhahi nikal gaye...." Bihari answered while cleaning the flower vase. "Oh....sayad vo pass ki gaon ki case ke liye....." Bondita thought in her mind. After having breakfast, Binoy and Som went for their work. Kaka also went for a meeting with the farmers. Koyli and Bihari too were grinding spices in the yard. Bondita was just about to leave for office when the telephone rang. She picked the phone after not finding anyone there. "Hello..." Bondita said. But no voice came from the other side. "Hello kon hai?" Again she couldn't heard any voice. "Pata nahi kon hai..." She cut the phone with disgust and was going when the phone rang once again. "Ufff....yeh telephone bhi...." She picked the phone and almost yelled, "kon hai?" "Mujhe nahi pehchani Bindu?" A heavy voice came from the other side. Bondita's heart stopped for a moment. Her hands started trembling. It seemed that the whole things around her had lost its motion. Her eyes were getting darker. Her lips trembled to utter a word,"MITHILESH!" " Wah Bindu! Meri awaj sehi pehchan li tu mujhe! Wah! Wah!" Mithilesh laughed from the other side of the phone. "Tu.... Tu...Tu kese? Matlab....tune to kaha tha ki nah tu mujhse aur nah main tujhse koi contact rakhungi...par tu...." Bondita said with cracking voice. "Haan to...kaha tha iska matlab to yeh nahi ki mannahi padhega?" He said. "Iska matlab vo tu hi tha jisne mujhe kaal vo letter aur tape recorder veja tha!" Bondita asked with utmost shock." Teri pasandita gaana mujhse behtar kon jan sakta hai?....aur tu bhi nah Bindu....itne dino baad baat kar rahe hai. Kaha pyaar mohabbat ki baatein karenge....aur tu hai ki...." Mithilesh said. "Pyaar mohabbat?" Bondita's eyes grew bigger. "Areh....yaad nahi? Jis mohabbat ko tune thukrayi thi...." He replied with sarcasm. "Main....main phone rakhti hu....aur...aur kabhi bhi mujhe phone maat karna. Samjha?" Bondita yelled. "Babare babah! Koto raag meyer!....jis baat ko bolne ke liye phone kiya tha vo to sunle...." Bondita thought for a moment and then said," kya...kya kehna hai tujhe?" Bondita shouted. "Vo raat yaad hai nah tujhe? Vo walla...." Mithilesh asked with a smirk. Bondita's heart started pounding fast and her breathes became heavy. "Mmmm....main soch raha tha ki ush raat ki tasvire Tulsipur ki akhvaro mein chap du...thik hai nah?" He said with a evil smile. "Kya? Tu...Tu esa kuch nahi karega....aur aur tujhe vo tasvire kese mili?" Bondita asked with a heavy voice. "Vo tujhe sochneki jarurat nahi....par main to soch raha hu ki unn tasviro ko chaphi du.... bohot maan samman hai nah Roy Chawdhury's ki....fir dekhte hai unka yeh maan samman kaha jata hai..." He started laughing in a disgusting way. "Chup.... ekdam chup....Tu esa kuch nahi karega....varna main meri Patibabu ko bata dungi tere baremein...aur mujhe pura varosa hai ki vo meri baat jarur samjhenge....aur dekhna, vo tujhe nahi chodenge....aur main police ko bhi bata dungi.....fir dekhti hu tu kya karta hai...." Bondita shouted. "Hwww....main to daar gaya.... Bondita mujhe daar lag raha hai!" He acted like an afraid person and started laughing. "Tu.... tujhe kya lagatha main daar jaunga? Vo bhi ush champu se? Hahaha....darna mujhe nahi ushe chahiye. Ushke piche jo mere admi ghum rahe hai chobiso ghante...." Mithilesh said evilly. "Kya!...." Bondita's voice chocked. "Haannnn....aur agar kuch bhi ki nah tune mere khilaf to.....dhinchkau! karke udha denge vo ushe....." He again started laughing. "Tu....Tu esa kese ho gaya re Mithilesh? Tu to pehle esa nahi tha...." Bondita's eyes filled with tears. "Samay ke sath sath sab badal jate hai meri pyaari Bindu...." He made himself sit on the couch. "Chup.... ekdam chup.... mujhe Bindu bulaneki himmat bhi maat karna...." Bondita again yelled. "Huu...aab chod yeh sab aur kaam ki baat karte hai....kal tu mujhe pachas hazar rupay lake degi Tulsipur ke bahar jo purani haveli hai uske samne....." He laid on the couch and made himself comfortable. "Kya? To tu yeh sab pyaso ke liye kar raha hai?.....chi Mithilesh chi! Ghinn aa rahi hai mujhe tujhpe..." Bondita shouted in disgust. "Tujhe jo sochna hai soch....mere pyase kaal aa jani chahiye. Aur agar kisiko batane ki himmat bhi ki to anjam tujhe patahi hai...." He smiled evilly. "Par...par itne paise main kahase lau? Meri to nokri bass abhi suru hui hai....meri to salary bhi nahi ayi abhi tak.." Bondita's voice was choking. "Vo sab mujhe nahi pata.... mujhe bass mere paiso se matlab hai.... vesebhi Roy Chawdhuryo ki tijori to hai nah...." He cut the phone after saying this. Bondita fell on her knees and started crying.
