Rudhita - Jeene Bhi De

My Husband.

Das Baadi.

Anirudh , Anika and Kaka were standing in front of the Das Baadi , entrance. Anirudh and Anika looked at Kaka with accusing eyes while Kaka looked away.
Anirudh and Anika sighed and walked inside.

" Ruko. Kon ho tum log?" chowkidaar asked.

" Mein Anirudh Roy Chowdhary ". Anirudh said.

" Ohh. Toh Roy Chowdhary parivaar aa hi gya." The other chowkidaar said.

" Aye Raju. Jaa aur jaake Thakumaa ko bolde ki unke Jamata aaye hai." chowkidaar said.

Trilochan straightened his shoulder and held his chadi firmly. Anika was observing him closely, said " Dadu. Ab aapki shaadi hone se rhi. Jab karni thi tan aapne ki nahi. Ab sajh dhaj ke kya faida?"

Kaka widened his eyes and with stuttering voice said " Hum..Hum kahan Sajh Dhaj rhe hai. Hum Bas taiyaar ho the hai Yudh ke liye."

Anika " Yudh ke liye toh baba ko taiyaar hona hoga."

Kaka " Wai toh. Maa Parvati ko ghar wapas lane ke liye Mahadev ne kayi kathinayiyan jheli thi. Yeh toh phir bhi Anirudh aur humari Bahu hai."

Anika nodded.

" Kuch kaha aap dono ne?" Anirudh said with a raised eyebrow.

Anika and Kaka " Nahi toh"

Anirudh waited for the chowkidaar while Kaka and Anika looked at eachother and sighed.

The chowkidaar came and asked them to come inside.
The three of them took a deep breath and entered.

As they entered the Haveli , they were astonished by the interior. The old palace with modern design was worth seeing. A chandelier hung through the ceiling, with red and white curtains. A table and a flower vase on each. The flooring was marble with beautiful designs.

As they walked ahead they saw a woman sitting on the chair, wearing a Royal Saree and jwellery and ordering some farmers and other village people something. In no time they realised it was Kalindi. She had worn a white saree with golden border, pleated well at one side. She had worn a gold jewelleries and her hair tied in a bun, a bindi between her eyebrows.

Kalindi saw that Anirudh and smirked.
She asked Shoumik, her son to look after the farmers while she will look into the Roy Chowdhary Family.

" Ayiye Ayiye Jamai Babu. Apke sasuraal mein apka swagat hai." Kalindi said keeping her one hand on the armrest and the other under her chin, with one leg over the other.

" Nomoshkaar Thakumaa. Mein ..."

" Aap hain Anirudh Roy Chowdhary, yeh hai aapke Kaka urf Trilochan Roy Chowdhary aur yeh aapki pyaari beti Anika Roy Chowdhary. Yaani ki meri poti ke sasuraal wale." Kalindi said thoughtfully.

" Ji Woh hum..."

" Aap Roy Chowdhariyon ki kya koi bimari hai? Rishta todne ki yaa saath chodne ki beech raaste mein?" Kalindi said sarcastically.

" Dekhiye.."

" Pehle aapke kaka, phir aap? Khaandani bimaari hai kya.? " Kalindi said gritting his teeth.

" Kaka ne jo kiya uske liye mein sharminda hoon. Meine jo Bondita ke saath kiya uske liye bhi mein sharminda hoon. " Anirudh said looking at the floor.

" Meri poti ka koi dosh nhi tha phir bhi usse saza mili. Meine saalon pehele tumhare Kaka ki jaan bachai uski saza mili. Aap sab ne hume samjh kya rakha hai? Koi khilona? Ki jab chahe tab rakh liya aur jab man bhar gaya tab phek diya? " Kalindi screamed.
