Rudhita - Jeene Bhi De

Chapter 56: Deewana

" Anikaaa...Anikaaaa Kahan hoo, jaldi bahar aaao. Anikaaaa" Shivaay was screaming his lungs out, standing infront of the Roy Chowdhury threshold. He was about to shout again when he was pulled to a corner.

His eyes widened when he saw Anika so close to him. Water was dripping from her hairs, indicating that she come from the shower just now. He saw her cheeks were little tainted with redness, while her eyes wandered around. Her lips were in the brightest shade of pink, and plumpy. A strand of hair was blocking his view, still in delusion he put that strand behind her ear.

" Aree yeh subhe subhe kaun kauye ke tarah chilla raha hai. kaun hai? " Trilochan asked coming to th door step. When he saw no one, he blinked his eyes twice. " Humne pucha kaun hai??" Trilochan shouted again, but he didn't get any response. Irritated he went inside again, towards his mandir.

"Tum kya pagal ho? Subhe subhe ghar aa gaye aur upar se itni zor se chilla rahe the. Acha hua meine samay se dekh liya, warna dadu tumhari pitai karte aur mera bahar jaana band. Pagol chele. Ab bolo bhi, kya hua?" Anika whisper yelled at Shivaay, who was still lost in her.

Anika saw she had put her hand on his lips, to which she moved back, and whispered " Sorry, ab bolo" with a smile.

Coming out of his delusion, he ruffled his hairs and cleared his throught. Composing himself, he said " Bondita Kaki ka pata chal gaya Anika.."

Anika who had a smile on her face, was now shocked and stared at Shivaay with wide eyes.

Inside Haveli

" Par kaka, Bombay agar aapko jaana hai toh jayiye na. Hum sabka jana zaroori kaha se hai?" Anirudh said while keeping his files on the table. He wore his reading glasses and sat on the chair.

" Aree humare dost ke pote ka vyaah hai. Usne pure parivaar ko amantrit kiya hai. Hum akele jayenge toh puchenge nahi kiya woh" Trilochan said waving his chaddi in the air.

" Bol dijiye, hum sab vyasth hai abhi.." Anirudh said and was about to continue when, Anika came running and said " Baba chalte hai na. Mera bhi khoob man hai Bombay jaise bade sheher mei ghumne ka. Chaliye na baba. Waise bhi ab chuttiyan chalu hone waali hai."

" Lo ab toh tumhari rajkumari bhi keh rahi hai. Ab toh chal lo Anirudh." Trilochan too whined like a kid, and looked at Anirudh with expectant eyes.

Anirudh sighed and kept his spectacles on the table, and looked at them. Looking at their faces, he nodded and went back to his world.
Trilochan and Anika did a hi-fi and went outside the study.

Bombay

" That's all Your Honor! Yeh saare saboot aapke saamne hai. Ab aapko Mr Das aur unke parivaar ke saath nyaay karna hai ya inn angrezon ka saath dena hai, taking kisi masoom ki zindagi barbaad ho sake. It's upon you!" Bondita said to the judge and to everyone who were present there.

The Britishers were looking at Bondita, with anger evidently visible on their face.

Everyone were waiting for Judge's response. After 5 mins, what felt like years of yearning, the Judge ruled the case in the favor of Bondita and her client. A small smile appeared on her face, and closed her eyes.

" Sterling are you being serious right now? You are doing wrong! I am your friend goddam it! How can you put me into Jail?" Richard's voice roared inside the court making Bondita open her eyes.

" This is a court Richard, not your house or playroom where everything will be according to your will. You did wrong to that family. Now you have to pay for it!" Sterling said and went away.
