Letters from Dalhousie to Tulsipur

Part 5-Bondita

Dear Barrister Babu,

I am not playing any kind of games with you. I am not a child to play games.

And I don't understand, where have you learned to lie so much.

You and being in love with me!?? Huh. Even if the universe tells me that you are in love with me, I'll not believe it.

Fine, I agree that you don't love your precious second wife. But that doesn't automatically give you the right to be loving towards me.

Stop all this talks of love on your letters please. It makes me embarrassed and uncomfortable.

I'll not be studying in Kolkata with you by my side. How dare you to assume that!

I am already looking for options and scholarships in Bombay and Delhi. There are good institutions there and I'll study on my own with the help of scholarships. So, please don't bother to uproot your life for me again.

You've already done that once for me. And I am still feeling the burden of that.

About the divorce, Patibabu....I don't believe you about your claims. So, I'll not talk about that any further. Let's wait for the law...I believe that, you'll cast me out of your life yourself in the fire of your fitoor.

You must be mistaken about my sindoor and Shakha Pola. I am not doing any of that. The warden must have informed you wrong. About some other girl. I don't apply any of my marital signs anymore.

Thank you for distributing my articles in Bengal among your colleagues. You didn't need to do that. But I am glad of your help. A lot of calls are coming in the newspaper office these days about my articles.

It's all due to you and I suppose it's another one of your favours on me...

About the love letters, stop me if you can. If I want to, I'll accept any boy's proposal that I want. And you absolutely do not have the right to thrash any boy, I might like.

You believed in equal rights for both men and women right!! So, I also have the same right to fall in love or fall in attraction just as you did. I don't know, what you find bad in that. Isn't it what you wanted for me, equal rights...Patibabu!!!

Can I be honest today? I was extremely hurt, when you got married with her. The adamancy you had shown during those times killed me thousand times really.

You were actually behaving badly with me and finding faults due to your love for her right!

The night of our anniversary is something that I will forever hate. But you were consumed with her thoughts even then, if I am not wrong.

I was trying every thing to save our relationship but you were busy in spending time no...no..no helping her in her great sacrifice weren't you...?

I was getting crushed under the expectations of the society and family to be this perfect version of your wife. But you didn't see my pain at all. All you saw was my results.

You saw my marks only but you didn't see the all nighters, I was pulling to make it all up.

How would you see it? When you were in the throes of your love.

You were my god na..then why couldn't you understand the turmoil, I was going through? Why didn't you actually tried to solved my problem without involving her in our lives!!

I hate her Barrister Babu. The one advocating for the country is actually a hypocrite for she didn't even hesitate to snatch someone's husband for her own motives.
