Bondita's POV:-
I thought I got over it. That the ghosts of the past and trauma don't affect me as much. That after I finally took my revenge I will be able to hear about Barrister babu and Manorama didi's 'fake marriage' without a pang in my chest. But the hurt still lingered in my heart and all it did was to not let me get over everything.
After Barrister babu narrated the whole scene, Saudamini didi tried to hit him with her walking stick, but Kate stopped her. We came back home and I was quiet in the most of the ride, while Barrister babu kept on glancing at me in concern. I was so fed up with his concerning looks that I wanted to slap him and then claw out his eyes so he would stop looking at me like I am some mental patient. Something is seriously wrong with me. I directly went in my room and sat on the bed, staring in the space.
Someone knocked at my room's door and I snapped out of my thoughts and opened it.
"Baat kar sakte hain hum? " Barrister babu asked and I nodded, stepping aside to let him in. "Bondita, mujhe maaf kar-"
"Maine maaf kar diya hai aapko birristra babu. Aur aap bhi mujhe maaf kar dena jo maine Samarth ke saath shaadi ka natak kiya tha, uske liye"
He winced at the mention of the memory and a tiny, stupid part of me felt satisfied that I wasn't the only one suffering.
"Sab kuchh kitna ajeeb lag raha haina? "
I nodded.
"Aisa lag raha hai jaise vo vakt jab main tumhe aur Batuk ko padhaya karta tha, bahut dur chala gaya hai. "
"Haan aur jab main aur batuk aapke peeth peechhe apni kitaabe badalte the. " I smiled at the nostalgic memory.
"Kya? Kitaabe badalte the?"
"Haan aur bahut baar som dada bhi khidki se aake hume khaana diya karte the. "
"Tum log ye sab karte the mere peeth peechhe? Apne sikshak ka apmaan karte the? "
"Konsa sikshak subah 7:30 baje bachho ko padhane ke liye bitha deta hai? " I snapped at him.
"Kyuki subah subah padhai achhe se hoti hai. "
"Ji nahi. Subah subah neend aur bookh ke karan mann hi nahi lagta. " I crossed my arms in front of me. He really used to torture me and Batuk so much.
"Main bhi subah subah padhta tha aur mujhe uss vakt sab yaad ho jaata tha. " He said after a long pause.
"Aapka dimaag aur logo se alag kaam karta hai isliye "
"Bondita ab bahut ho raha hai! "
"Kya bahut ho raha hai? Sach jhel nahi sakte toh kis baat ke birristra babu aap? " I started laughing at the look on his face. He was opening and closing his mouth like a gold fish, not able to think anything in retort. I guess I did good by letting Mrs. IRC possess me.
After a few moments, he started smiling at me, while my laughter died down and my throat went dry.
"Achha laga tumhe itne samay baad pehle ki tarah hasta huya dekh ke. " He said slumping beside me on the bed and my heart began to beat inhumanely fast. Something REALLY is wrong with me.
"Bondita, kyu na hum ek nayi shuruaat kare? "
"Nayi shuruaat? "
"Hmm. Hum bhul jaate hain ki humne pehle kya kya kiya. Bhul jaate hain ki humari shaadi kis haalaaton mei huyi thi. "
Did he get his screw loose?
"Huh? Matlab? " I said, startled.
He stood up and gestured me to do the same. Then he went out of the room, and came back in again.
