ENDEARMENT (ON HOLD)

The Wrongdoer

The sunlight slanted through the windows of the royal Roy Choudary Haveli adding to the embellishments done in grandeur. Why not, it is one of the most cardinal day with significance as it was the day their first heir was born their ANIRUDH, ANIRUDH ROY CHOUDARY.

When Anirudh entered all did not go unnoticed by him abstaining which he walked towards his room only to be stopped by his kaka and soon he bent to take his blessings as the later cought his shoulders and embraced him in return and spoke "Janam din ki Mubarak beta, soh saal jiyo. Arey Anirudh yeh kya hai tere liye puja rakhi aur thu abb bhi kal ki Kapdon mein. Ja beta jaldhi nahake kapde badalo. Maha Pandit ji aane wale hai" to which he obliged but as he was taking steps to his room again stopped hearing his kaka speaking to his friend while sipping tea.

"Gor kalyug, shiv shiv shiv. Patha nahi yese din bhi dekhna padega. Ek ladka ladki puri din aur raat ek sath chi chi chi....  sab unki maa bap ki galthi hai. Abb galthi ki hai toh uski sazaa bhi bhugatni hogi na. Kaskaar us ladki ko na laj na sharam, yese kese paray Mard ke sath... Hume toh bolne me hi sharam aarahi hai" he said with disgust evident on his face.

His friend replied "sahi kaha zamindaar babu, vese toh yese ladki zinda nahi rehni chahiye, itne gor paap karke koi bhi Bach nahi sakthe aur vese bhi Hume toh patha hi hai yese vishaime ladke ke kuch nahi bigadthe par ladki...Abb toh hum bhi chahthe panchayat Katin se katin dhand dilaye taki dobara koi yese galthi na kare" with that he joined hands and took leave.

Being puzzled Anirudh asked his kaka what were they discussing what was the matter why both of you were raged? Though initially avoiding his questions asked him to get ready. Who could say No to the great Anirudh Roy Choudary who is known for his stubborn nature, so his kaka revealed how a couple in the name of love had eloped and spent a night out later was cought and bought to the village by villagemens. Knowing about his nephew's broad minded thoughts and views he also said "dekh Anirudh, abb iss vishay ki peeche math pad, isme teri kranthi math dikha. Tumhare liye na sahi per samaaj ke liye humare liye yeh sab galath hai aur Jab woh dono paap kiya hai saza toh milegi na aur yese vishaye mein kaskaar uss ladki ko hi sab jelna padtha hai. Yeh sab Asaan nahi hoga agar ek vakya mein kehna hai toh uss ladki ko apni galthi ka ehsaas toh hogi per ussey jyadha woh marna pasandh karegi. Patha hai kyun yese milegi sazaa upar se smaaj ki tanon sehna koi choti bath hotha hai kya. Batha..Aur vese bhi yese sazaa toh milni chahiye, samaaj ki ankon mein dul choker yese jawaan ladke ladki akele milne per" expecting a high volted rebuking session from his nephew, the zamindaar got himself prepared for further confrontation but suprising him Anirudh just walked cross him towards his room.

The event had somehow provoked something into him as he thought by meeting his Bondita secretly is he risking her honor her life. However he was never worried about what the society says or does, it has never bothered him to take actions against them but in the course if his Bondita suffered? The thought of his Bondita suffering was shaking him was tearing him, he immediately thought it had happened in the past but it will not happen now. Never.

Pausing his thoughts he got himself ready for the day as soon as the puja ended all were on their frolic.

After about half an hour Bondita finalised her decision on wearing her sakha babu's favourite blue coloured frock and soon grabbed the object in her right hand and a brass carton in left and ran as quick as lightening. She was glad and sure that her suprise would awe her sakha babu ofcourse she had spent almost 2 months for it. Yes it had been pre decided as she wanted to gift her sakha babu something that would  touch his heart and it would have her personal touch too in the process.

She was entering his study being thrilled about his reaction to her sweet suprise only to get bumped with her friend Batuk who carried his painting on one hand and a colourful palette on other though both managed themselves, her most treasured object had fallen on the palette thereby making the object brightly coloured. Batuk was elated at the fact that his painting had saved on other hand Bondita frowned as her object got ruined badly that it had now become of no use.
