Rudhita - Jeene Bhi De

Opening up with Each Other

Everyone's jaw dropped seeing Anirudh in other color because usually he used to wear black, grey and white clothes. Anirudh was little shy, all of a sudden seeing all the eyes on him. He felt like he was newly wedded. Wait he newly wedded though! Shaking off his thoughts, he stood near or to be precise behind Bondita who was scolding Anika for some reason while Anika was pouting.

" Yeh gorilla aaj heeran ban ke kaise aa gaye?" Batuk whispered talked with Naina and Somnath.

" Hain? Gorilla, heeran? Kya bol rahe ho tum Batuk?" Naina asked while Batuk said " Aree dada gorilla jaise gussa karte hai. Toh gorilla ka rang toh Kaala hai na." As soon as Batuk said this Naina hit her own forehead while Som hit Batuk's. Batuk frowned and looked at front. Naina suddenly asked " Aur heeran kaise?"

Batuk was about to reply when he got confused and then spoke " Heeran ke baare mein toh socha hi nahi." Both Naina and Somnath frowned and hit his head from back.

" Binoy, yeh Anirudh ko kya hua?" Trilochan kaka asked while Binoy said " Apke Durga Maa ki kasam dada, mein khud soch raha hoon." Trilochan hummed and both the brothers looked at eachother. Both adjusted their spectacles and looked at Anirudh.

Bondita felt some one was standing behind her. She turned and startled, screamed.
"Aah" Hearing her screaming all of a sudden, Anirudh too screamed " Aah."

" Chillaya kyun?" Anirudh asked forgetting that his family was still watching him, intently.

" Peeche aise Kaun khada hota hai?" Bondita asked while Anirudh said " Are toh peeche khada hua hoon, isliye chillaogi? Pagol naa ki."

" Haan haan, mein hi pagal hoon. Beti bhi chup rahene ko kehti hai aur baap pagal kehta hai. Dono ek jaise ho. Mujhe baat hi nahi karni." She shouted and went outside.

" Isse/Inhe kya hua?" Both Anika and Anirudh said together. Anika frowned and showing her tounge went outside. Anirudh looked at his family, who were ogling at him. " Mere sharir mein heere moti lage huye hai kya? Nahi na. Toh chalo." Saying this he followed Anika, who had run behind Anika.

" Mein dada aur boudi ke saath jaunga." Batuk said and ran behind his Dada. "Mein bhi chalta hoon. Chalo Naina." Som said while Naina went with him. Kaka and Binoy after checking for the last time, went outside. Bihari and koyli, were staying back as told by Trilochan kaka. He wouldn't trust any of the servant, except these two.

Binoy and Kaka sat on the back seat while the driver started to drive, following Anirudh's car. On the other side Batuk and Anika were sitting on the back seat while Bondita in the front with Anirudh.

The car ride was going smoothly yet silently. Anirudh and Bondita were lost in their thoughts while Anika and Batuk were whisper talking with each other. Bondita started to hum a tune, lost in her thoughts but she grabbed the attention of Anirudh, Batuk and Anika. Anika and Batuk looked at eachother and gave a wide smile.

" Maa gaane ki dhoon gungunane se acha, gaa do na." Anika asked batting her eye lashes. "Haan Boudi. Bohot bore ho raha hai. Gaana gaa do na." Batuk said while Bondita nodded in No.

" Please.." Batuk and Anika said while Bondita said "Nahi, gaane ka man nahi hai." All with pleading eyes looked at Anirudh while he raised his eyebrow and sighing said "Gaalo Bondita. Anika ka man hai sunne ka."

Bondita looked at Anika who was pouting and looking at her with her big innocent eyes. Sighing, she nodded and looked at front.

Anika frowned and whispered to Batuk "Meine bola nahi sunna. Baba ne bola, ek baar mein Haan keh diya." Batuk smirked and sang to himself "Kaho naa pyaar hai..". "Hain kya?" Anika asked while Batuk nodded in a no.
