Karam

" devi maa .......mujhe aapse kehne ki kuch jaroorat nahi hai mere saare chinta ka kaaran aap jaanti hai. Sameer kal se yahan nahi hai aur main yeh jaanti hun wo khud ko sambhal sakte hai par pata nahi kyun dil baitha jaa raha hai unhe salamat rakhna " she prayed with her hands joined then her gaze landed on the vermillion lying on the puja plate. She looked here and there and then took a pinch, parted a mid section of her hair and applied It then hid it. Even Sameer doesn't know that she always wears sindoor of his name. Even though they weren't married she accepted him as her husband long before.

" Naina " she got startled hearing her name. She turned to Bondita with surprise . To her shock she had a warm smile.

Bondita chuckled seeing her surprised face. " tumhe aise choukne ki jaroorat nahi hai . Mujhe kuch ajeeb nahi laga. "

She was again surprised because Bondita read her mind. Bondita herself took a pinch of vermillion and applied It on her scalp and touched her sakha pola with her forehead , as an act of worshipping.

" jab patibabu se meri shaadi hui thi... Mujhe yaad hai uske thik ek din pehle main yeh soch rahi thi ki mera kya hoga? Mera bhavishya kaisa hoga, meri shaadi hogi bhi ya nhi. " she had a warm smile on her face recollecting the memories. " uske agle din hi hamari shaadi hui. Maine kabhi sapne me bhi nahi socha tha ki aisa kuch hoga. Ek hi pal mein mujhe itne acche pati aur parivaar milega. " she turned to Naina.

" mujhe ek pal mein sab kuch mil gya aur tumhe 12 saal intezaar karna pada " she spoke with a lump in her throat.

Naina shook her head. " aisa nahi hai Bondita. " Bondita raised her palm like a white flag to stop her. " mujhe bolne do Naina " she softly said. Naina fell silent.

" pyaar ki tadap kya hoti hai mujhse accha aur koi nahi jaan sakta. Aur intezaar karne se bada imtihan aur koi nahi hota. Ye bhi mujhse accha koi aur nahi samajh sakta. Aur tumne? Tumne 12 SAAL intezaar kia hai. 12 SAAL " she said looking intently in her eyes. " tumne tapasya kiya hai apne rishte ke liye. Mere liye tumne tapasya ki hai. Ye kabhi mat samajh na ki main tumhari tadap nahi samajhti ya tumhara pyaar. Tum jab khud ko unki patni maanti ho to samaaj ka koi mol nahi rehta. " she smiled. " tumhara secret mere saath safe hai " Naina chuckled through tears because she is the only one who understood her.

Bondita took a pinch and smeared it on Naina's bangles just like she did with hers. " jahan tak mujhe lagta hai dada ko pata hoga ki unki hone wali patni ki maang pehle se saji hui hai bas duniya ko dikhana baaki hai "

...............

Anirudh flinched as the sunlight hit on his face. He slowly opened his eyes. A painful ache shoot through his head as the view got clear. He saw others tied to trees unconscious and the boy crying bitterly in the clutch of kidnappers.

His blood boiled at the sight of the boy crying. He tried to move but he couldn't because he was tied too. 

" dekh bacche ne kuch nahi kiya usse chod de " He warned . 

" hum kisi ko nahi chod sakte , humein jiss baat ke paise mile hai hum to wo kaam pura karenge hi karenge . " 

" main tujhe jyada paise dunga .....kai jyada , bacche ko chod de " Anirudh tried to handle the situation . 

the goons seemed to have lost in thought but another one brought him back to the reality , " yeh sab inki chaal hai inki baaton mein mat pad . " 

Sameer seemed to be regain his consciousness as he groaned out loudly . The goons ignored him as there was a fight on going between them whether to take Anirudh's deal or not . Sameer's gaze landed on Anirudh . He tried to give a hint about something . Sameer here didn't understood what he was saying but he tried to free his wrists without anyone noticing .
