Anidita: Mending the relationship

LONDON: Part II

Bondita's POV:-

I sat behind the large chair of Study. I wanted to sit under the table, but obviously I can't fit there anymore and if anyhow I did, I'll break my neck. I didn't even choose the small 'cupboard' to hide under, because we sat in that cupboard when we can't face each other or was hiding from the other one's questions. In my case, I wasn't hiding. I just wanted some privacy to think about 'everything'.

I had a very very smooth plan. Go to London. Sneak in conference room. Give the information. Come back. Easy!

But it all ruined because now I have to deal with Barrister Babu and my all the friends. How am I even gonna escape from there? Everything's tangled and I can't find any way to solve this situation.

I sighed loudly, dragged my knees towards my chest and put my head on it. I sat like that for a few minutes when I felt someone's presence beside me. I shot my head up and looked at my left to find Barrister Babu looking at me.

"Koi pareshaani hai kya Bondita? " He asked. "Tum bata sakti ho mujhe"

I looked at him uncertainly. Should I tell him? What will I say? That I don't want you to go with me to London because I am a krantikari and I need to sneak in and out of the house which will become very difficult with you keeping an eye on me? I chose to stay silent and looked at the front again.

This yellow pattern on the wall is so interesting.

He sighed and spoke again. "Kab tak naraaz rahogi tum mujhse? Ab toh saza bhi mil gayi mujhe meri galti ki"

No! I am not angry with you anymore. I just can't risk to believe you again, so soon.

"Thik hai firr" He stood up suddenly and I looked up at him. What happened to him now? He gestured me to stand up too and I twisted my face in pure confusion, but got on my legs anyways.

"Hello! Myself Mr. Anirudh Roy Choudhary" He stuck out his hand forward. "A gold medalist barrister from London. Nice to meet you....?"

"Barrister babu aap ye kya kar rahe hain?"

"Main jaanta hu ki bita huya kal nahi bhula sakti tum lekin hum ek naya kal toh bana sakte haina? " He smiled softly when I turned more confused.

"Chalo, shuru se shuruaat karte hain" He again stuck out his hand. "Hello! I am Anirudh Roy Choudhary, a gold medalist barrister from London. Your name? "

I tried to hold back my laughter, but ended up chuckling. So should I consider this as our new beginning? I shook hands with him.

"Bondita.... Barrister Babu Bondita Roy Choudhary. It's a great pleasure to meet you Mr. Barrister. "

"Oh don't be so formal. You can call me Anirudh."

I smiled at him. "Okay Mr. Anirudh"

He grinned and we both started laughing at our childishness. Sometimes, I think that we have never grown up. Sometimes....

I thought about him going to London with me in a positive way. I was only taking out the cons, but never thought about the pros of this situation. If he will go with me then I can practice barristery under him along with my mission. And about escaping from him, so I have now become habitual of that.

So..... It's not that bad idea, I thought it would be.

I, Barrister babu, Samarth, Rose, Kate and Mallika started packing for our trip to London. Well now that Samarth is also going with me, so I will get someone's company in my mission too. Everything's been great after I and Barrister babu started our new beginning. No, we didn't exactly started living like the way we used to live in past. We were taking baby steps. After the horrifying incident of my life, it will take time for me to build up my trust for him again. Relationships takes time to develop and mend. Trust and assurance builds up gradually.
