Bondita stood at her place like a statue looking at the scene in front of her. Anirudh welcomed his second wife with all the rituals.
She remembered the day of her marriage when he refused to participate in any of the rituals. She didn't mind though. Although she was young she knew that he did not marry her by choice and to be honest she never cared. As long as he was there for her she didn't care.
She wondered when it all went down. When did her whole world crumble into pieces without her realising it?
Trilochan looked at his eldest nephew. He honestly wanted to punch Anirudh for the sin he committed. He looked at Bondita and instantly regretted it. He couldn't see that defeated look on her face.
She was about to turn away when Anirudh's voice rang in her ears.
A:- Kaka aashirvaad nhi denge apni nati bahu ko?
Trilochan looked disappointingly at the couple and left for his room without a word.
Binoy who has been clenching his fist to control his anger almost slapped him at his shameless. Sampoorna who had been watching the whole drama unfold looked slightly worried.
She sure hated Bondita but she had never imagined seeing her in this state. The worst that could happen to a woman is when her husband brings another wife.
Anirudh looked at Bondita from a peripheral view. He wondered what she was thinking. It pained his heart to see his little bundle of joy just staring blankly at nothing.
Manorma looked at everyone's expression and sighed knowing what was going on in their head.
Bondita turned around and left for her room without a word. Som and Batuk looked at her and then their Dada gritted their teeth in anger.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~•••••••••••••••~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bondita closed the doors of her room and licked it from inside. She went in front of the mirror and looked at her reflection.
For the first time after her marriage, she looked at her features. Her puffy cheeks were strained with tear marks. Her kajal was smudged. Her cute button nose was red from all the crying but despite these, she looked ethereal.
She sat on the ground beside her bed with her knees to her chest. A thousand thoughts came to her mind.
B:- kyu kiya pati babu ne aisa? Kya mei sundar nhi thi? Ya fir mei bohot zada bolti thi? Ya bohot khati thi? Vo mujhe mana krr dete prr unhone to aisa kuch nhi kiya ulta... Mei to marks bhi ache laati thi aur Barrister bhi bnne ki tayari krr rhi thi... Fir aisa kya glti kiya maine pati babu jo apne meri jagah kisi aur ko dedi...
She finally sobbed at her last sentence. Hell broke loose in the silent house when her cried were heard. Som and Batuk who were standing near her door to help her when needed panicked and latched at the door. Kaka and Binoy along with Bihari came running when they heard the brothers Knocking at her door.
Ksj:- K... Kya hua bahu thik h.. Na?
Som:- kaka ab tk to unhone kuch nhi bola aur ab bss roye jaa rhi h...
Ba:- Haa kaka hm kb se drwaja khulva rhe h... But koi jawab nhi.
Binoy sighed helplessly at the situation. For the first time he felt angry on Anirudh. He did scolded him when needed but never in his life he was angry at him more than now.
Sampoorn a came running there to see what's going on here.
Sa:- Kya hua yha? Sb thik h... Na
Bi:- Ab fikar ho rhi h... Tumhe? Yaad aa gya ki tumhari ek behen bhi h... Ya abhi tk saas ka bukhar utra nhi sari se?
Sampoorna looked angrily at her husband who nowadays was adamant on insulting her.
Sa:- Mujhe to har ek cheez yaad h... Ye bhi ki kaise tum ameeron ne majak bana ke rakha h... Rishton ka.
Ksj:- Sampoorna bahu!
Sa:- maaf kriyega jeth ji pr ye sb Anirudh ne kiya h... Mei laakh buri shi pr meri gltiyon se aap apne bete ki gltiyan nhi dhak skte. Iss baar unhone bohot badi glti ki h...
In his entire life this has to be first time when ksj didn't have any retort. He knew she was right.
The sobs slowed down gradually and the family stopped it' quarrel when they heard the door click open.
Bondita came out of her room and looked at everyone without any expression.
B:- Aap log so jaye... Mei thik hu... Kal nhi bahu ki rasme bhi krni h...
Ksj:- prr bahu...
B:- shubh ratri.
She closed the door again and went inside. The family sighed and went to their room without a word.
On the other hand a pair of eyes watched and heard everything that happened. Anirudh clenched his fist so tight that it pained but not more than the bleeding heart he himself wounded.
M:- Maine kaha tha Anirudh ye rasta shi nhi h... Ye shaadi ka natak sb kuch kharab krr dega
A:- Mana tum meri dost ho but bhulo mt ki hmari shaadi ek natak h... Mujhe meri Bondita ke ujawal bhavishya ke lie kya karna h... Ye mt sikhao.
Manorma scoffed and folded her hands.
M:- ujawal bhavishya ka to nhi pata pr filhal tumne uski ankhon aur zindagi se roshini cheen li hai... As a good friend I just hope God gifts u some sense.
A:- Huh! Angrezon ki mitana h... Pr unhi ki bhasha me mujhe suna rhi ho
M:- London me reh krr vilayti jo ho gye ho. Isiliye to tumhe bhi lgta h... Ki ek bhartiya nari kuch bhi seh leti h...
A:- What?
M:- Don't What me Anirudh! Tumhe abhi andaza bhi nhi h... Ki tumne kis tsunami ka rasta bana diya h... Be ready to face it. Har aurat ki sehne ki ek shakti hoti h... Jis din uska bal tut jata h... Vo kab, kaise aur kispe keher ban ke barsega vo unhe pata bhi nhi hota.
A:-....
M:- Ab ye lo takiya aur blanket aur ja kr so jao.
She handed him the things and went to her new room. Anirudh looked Confusigly at her retrieving figure pondering upon her words.
A:- Kya mei sach me shi krr rha hu...?
