Anidita - My Soulmate I trust

Anirudh's insecurities, over possessiveness

Bondita's pov: Me and Patibabu became parents to our little goddess Poornima as per rituals on her naming ceremony function and legally through papers  also because Patibabu is very particular about legal formalities. I am so happy and excited that I became maa to a baby. Even though I didn't carry her in my womb but I am so attached to her right from when Badal came to our house.

I thanked Durga maa for sending a beautiful girl in my life and made me mother to her . Now Patibabu and me are maa baba. That feeling itself is making me complete. She is so cute. Suddenly I started feeling so responsible and mature.

When we brought poornima from hospital alongwith Badal (body) She cried alot , Koyli didi already arranged  cow milk . She told that she already spoke with milk man and arranged it.

Patibabu and ksj asked Koyli didi to feed her because I was too young to attend little baby's works but baby is uncomfortable in Koyli didi hands and kept on crying. Her tiny fingers are gesturing for some other's touch and opening her mouth with a hope . I didn't understand. Koyli didi told sadly to us that baby might be missing Badal Bahuraniji breastfeed and is not liking cow milk.

All our eyes welled up with tears

At one side Patibabu, Bhatuk and ksj are taking care of Badal final rites and are getting suffocated with that but still  everyone are trying to carry her in their arms and trying to pacify her. 

 

She is too tender like a little bud and her condition for crying for her maa milk is making everyone one of us to sob, but how long this will go, then I gathered courage somehow, I took her from Patibabu arms and laid her in my lap .. I apologized my baby with tears that this is the only thing (mother's breast feed) this maa (pointing to myself) couldn't provide it to her  but a miracle happened and  when I took her in my hands she became calm in a minute. Me and everyone are surprised.

We don't know how this miracle happened but she drank milk with my hands  and slept.  Later Badal final rites are done by the men with heavy heart. Koyli didi is cleaning the house.

After few hours all men came from final rites, took bath and  poornima again woke up and started crying and when I took her in my arms she became silent in two minutes.

Patibabu   complained like a child to Poornima that she forgotten him and took my side. Just then Doctor came in the evening to visit the baby, listened to us  and told that it is because Bondita ji is the one who accompanied with Badal in last stages, may be Bondita ji used to touch badal belly and spoke with her and foetus have the eligibility to listen when they are in mother's womb.   so baby might have listened Bondita's talks and touch .

Everyone are so amazed including me. I also recollected that Badal introduced me as mother to poornima and baby gave kick in the last months and told them about this.

Patibabu asked Doctor to check up baby and asked her to give necessary injections as vaccines.

Ksj argued that why he wants to hurt little baby but patibabu argued that she had to take injections else there are chances that she will be affected by diseases.

Doctor told ksj: Haa Zamindar Saab there are diseases like polio, diahrrea, small pox. If little kids won't get injections then chances are there that they may get handicapped because of not taking polio vaccines and will have low immunity power

He told Patibabu not required now and gave card to Patibabu and explained about vaccines details and asked him to take the baby to Calcutta as per the dates and get her vaccinated. Patibabu agreed.

Time is running faster. We are not knowing when it is day and when it is night.  Patibabu also made friendship with her and started carrying her on his shoulders at night time to make her sleep. In this way she got habituated to her baba.
