Anidita: Mending the relationship

THE SHATTERED LIVES: PART V

So it's been a lot of time, before I updated last part, you guys must have forgotten the previous part, so here's a short recap.

Bondita found Vrinda, a 15yr old girl, who was forced to marry a drunker. Vrinda's husband died and the society tried to sati her, but she was saved by Bondita.
Som came and informed the RCs that Vrinda's parents were creating a fiasco in Mahila Shakti Grah Udyog.

The further part is from Anirudh's POV.

"Khabardaar!" Before I can handle the situation, her strong voice filled the air, making the whole crowd go silent. "Khabardaar jo kisine ek kadam bhi aage badhaya toh! "

I, Bondita, Som, Kate and Batuk have arrived to the Mahila Shakti Gruh Udyog, as soon as Som informed us that Vrinda's parents were trying to forcefully take her with them. With the shouting and drama, all the villagers left their work and came to watch the entertainment for free. Obviously, for them watching other's fight is more important than doing their work.

When we had came here, Arunima ji was trying her best to control the situation, but the angry parents weren't listening to her. I and Som immediately went to help Arunima ji while Bondita, Kate and Batuk went inside the building to look for Vrinda. Hopefully, she was fine, but was scared as hell.

I tried to control the family without loosing my temper, but they started to get inside the building and that's when Bondita came outside and shouted at them.

"Dekhiye chhoti malkin aap humari beti ko zabardasti yaha nahi rakh sakti! " A man, wearing a green kurta with white dhoti, spoke up. His hairs were slightly greyish and the light wrinkles on his face made him look more older. With his words and looks, I concluded him as the father of Vrinda.

"Zabardasti? Zabardasti maine nahi aapne ki hai uske saath! Zabardasti uski shaadi ek sharabi se karayi. Zabardasti uske sapno ko tod diya. Zabardasti iss kachhi umar main, vivaah karaya uska! " My lioness roared at them while I puffed my chest in proud. She is just the way I wanted her to be. A strong, bold and independent lady. Who doesn't need a man behind her.

"Maa baap hain hum uske.... " A woman, probably Vrinda's mother, said. "... Uske liye kya sahi hai kya galat, iska nirnay sirf hum le sakte hain! "

"Sahi? " She sarcastically snickered. "Kya sahi kiya aapne uske saath? Ek sharabi se shaadi karana kya sahi tha uske liye? "

Both the old couple fell silent to her question and I saw my reflection in Bondita. How things have turned. Years ago, I fought for her and today, she is so capable, that she is fighting for someone else. My little Bondita have grown up so fast.

"Nahi haina koi jawab aapke paas? " I took the lead. "Hoga bhi kaise? Aap khud jaante hain ki bilkul sahi nahi kiya hai aapne apni beti ke saath! "

"Haan nahi kiya humne uske saath sahi. Lekin kya aap galat nahi kar rahe? " The man shrieked.

"Achha? Kya galat kiya humne uske saath? " I crossed my arms above my chest.

"Arey uske mata pita se dur kar rahe hain aap usse! "

I rolled my eyes at him. Mata pita? Seriously? Don't they feel ashamed to even call themselves with such a pure term?

"Arey kya zabardasti use yaha nahi rakha hai aapne? " This time the woman spoke.

"Nahi! " I heard a voice and turned back to get shocked. Vrinda? She looked at Kate, who was standing beside her and the latter softly blinked her eyes, as if encouraging her. Vrinda turned towards her parents and took a deep breath.
