Manzil ( kismat ka khel part -2) Completed

Gehre ghao

The sounds of frying luchis and smell of the aromas fulfilled the whole kitchen . After working for hours at the court Bondita came back only to indulge herself in the house work . yes , she was definitely tired but according to her the household work is equally important as the court work . she didn't give herself a minute to breathe and busied herself in making the dinner . she ordered Bihari to cut the vegetables for curry , and koeli to see after the dessert . the weather and kitchen's additional heat was making it more difficult for her . she rolled the next luchi , ready to fry . her forehead was covered with sweat and dripping down to her face . Suddenly her naughty brother in law entered the kitchen and took a seat right next to her . 

" kya hua chote jamindaar kuch chahiye tha kya ?" she asked " kyun bina kuch chahe nahi aa sakta kya ?" Bondita was taken aback by his answer . she thought he was offended . Looking at her expression he laughed " aree aise hi bol raha hun . aap mujhse kyun ghabra rahi hai main to aapke saamne bada hua hun aapko ghabrane ki kya jaroorat . " 

" tab ki baat aur thi aur aaj ki baat aur . tab tum bacche the aur ab nariyal ke ped jitne bade . " saying this she giggled . seeing her he joined too " duniya ke liye main shayad utna hi bada hun jitni meri height hai magar aapke liye main abhi woh baara saal ka Batuk hun jisne aapka pallu pakad kar soya hai" he said softly , melting her heart . 

He saw her sweating , he brought out his handkerchief fro is pocket and wiped her whole face . he frowned slightly . " kya hua ? muh kyun phula liya ? " she asked seeing his frown .

 " aap bhi na boudi aate hi kaam mein lag gayi . bihaari ko kyun nahi kehti , agar kahengi to aur naukar chakar ajayenge . office se aye nahi ki rasoi mein ghus gayi . chodiye aap yeh main kar deta hun . " Batuk said with concern and annoyance in his voice . he snatched the roller from her . she protested . 

" yeh kya kar rahe ho Batuk ? hey bhagwaan kakasasurji mujhe maar dalenge agar tumhe rasoi ghar mein dekh liya to " she said panicking when she saw him rolling the luchis . she tried to snatch the belan back . 

he chuckled and said " aapke pyaaare kakasasurji mere haath ka halwa katora chat chat kar khaate hein . meri jali hui sabji , tarkaari tak nigal jaate hain . aap nischint rahiye kaka kuch nahi kahenge aapko  . aur aap ab mujhe kaam karne dijiye " 

she looked at him as if she has seen a ghost . he laughed at her reaction and poked her nose with his dough covered hands . " hayee... mera baccha khaana banana sikh gaya . " she said pulling his cheeks . " meri devrani ki to chaandi hi chaandi " she sighed dreamily whereas Batuk blushed ,focusing on the luchis . she saw his tip of the ears turning pink just like his brother . " hayee ... chote jamindaar tum sharmate bhi ho . " she laughed and  poked on his ribs , teasing him . 

They talked about some other things while Batuk perfectly made the luchis . Bondita saw they were alone in the kitchen , Bihari and koeli were outside . Batuk was about to get up but he was pulled to his seat . " kya hua boudi ? bahar nahi jaana kya " he asked confusingly . she shook her head . " mujhe tumse kuch jaroori baat karni hai . yeh baat main kisi aur se nahi kar sakti patibabu se bhi nahi .... " she said suddenly her expression was serious . 

" aisa kyaa hai jo aap dada se bhi nahi keh sakti . " he asked , then suddenly he got defensive . " apko koi pareshaan kar raha hai kya boudi naam bataiye uss kami-" 

" koi pareshaan nahi kar raha mujhe . bas kuch jaan na tha tumse . main jaanti hun iss bare mein ghar mein koi baat nahi karna chahega " he sensed her seriousness in her voice and kept a supportive hand on hers . " aap mujhse kuch bhi puch sakti hain . main hamesha aapka saath dunga . " she flashed him a small smile and then asked . 

" mere jaane ke baad kya hua tha ? mera matlab ki ...m-mere kaka aur cha-chandrachur ka . " she asked hesitantly . 

Batuk's smile vanished instantly . he turned his face away from her and he had a neutral and stiff expression on his face . " aap yeh sab kyun puch rahi hai " she was shocked by the coldness in his voice .
