"Agar tum Anirudh ko ye dabba diye Bina wapas aaye , to tum khud ho issi dabbe ke aakar ka paoge"

The threat of Trilochan echoes in the Bihari's ears as he looks helplessly at the tiffin box in his hand. It has been two days since Barrister babu has returned from London. Since two days ,he has been bringing tiffin box and has been taking it back . Today Trilochan has given ultimatum to him.He sighs and prays to almighty for saving him from this quandary

" Barrister Roy Chowdhury kaha milenge" The sweet voice of a girl drew attention of the Bihari Baabu .Adjusting the spectacles he looks at the girl,who looks like outsider due to the way of draping the saree.

"Aap Chote Malik matlab Barrister Babu ko dhundh rahi hai" He said politely. She nodded.

"Waise unke baithne ka jagah to uss taraf hai lekin waha milenge nhi wo" Said Bihari pointing towards the closed Cabin .

"To kaha milenge wo " asked the girl.

"Waha bhir dekh rahi hai" Said Bihari pointing towards the crowd .

"Uss bhir me hai " Asked the girl .

"wo bhir me nhi hai .Bhir unse hai " Said Bihari with proud smile. "Darbar laga hai Barrister Babu ka .

"Darbar ?' asked the Girl looking at him with raised eyebrows.

" .Do din pehle London se wapas aaye hai na .Itne mahino ke mamla ka niptara to karna padega na. Kitne mamlo me unka faisla nhi aaya hai ab tak .

"Faisla ? Barrister babu , barrister hai ya judge" Said the girl.

"Are kya samjhti hai aap humare Barrister Babu ko ? Barrister Babu agar mukadma haath me lete hai to Judge ko bhi pta hota hai ki sach kis aur hai aur nyay kis aur . Apne tark se samne wale ko bolti band kar dete hai. Isliye Aadhe se jyada mukadma to bahar hi nipat jata hai .Janta Darbar lagate hai Barrister Babu. Jinko Mukadma dayar karna hai unki sunte hai aur jinke khilaf dayar karna hota hai unki sunte hai . Ant me ek ka mukadma hath me lete hai ,samne wala khud b khud pichhe hat jata hai." Said Bihari with proud smile.

"Ab ek do mahine tak darshan mushkil hai unke .Hum khud do ghante se khana le kar khade hai . Pahuch hi nhi paa rahe un tak." Bihari speaks while looking at his lunch with frowned face." Bina dibba diye laute to malik humko hi bhar denge isme.

"Aapke Barrister Babu se to mujhe Milna hai Kaka. Aur do Mahine baad nhi aaj hi milna hai .Per kaise? ".She looks around looking around for some way to cross the crowd

"Koi fayda nhi hai betiya. Tum to kya tumhari aawaz tak nhi jayegi ."Bihari speaks still wondering about the different ways to get punishment.

"Aawaz!!! " The girl exclaims with excitement and almost hopes on her feet. Bihari looks at her with amusement as her eyes roams around the court premises . Suddenly her eyes signs with mischievousness as she walks forward. She bends down and picks up two coconut shells.

"Kaka , Thora dhaga milega kya ?" She asked while sitting down on the ground and pick up a sharp stone after rejecting some blunt stone .

Bihari looks around for the rope. Obviously it is not difficult to find rope in a village. He managed to get some rope and gives it to the girl and stands beside her , looking at her with curiousity. She stands up and insert ropes inside the hole that she made in coconut shell and ties it carefully.She again does the same the with another shell , connecting the two halves of the same structure with the thread.

"Ab dekhiye mera kamal" She said with wide smile on her face . Bihari watches her with great curiousity as she rotates the coconut shell several times, and throws it above the head of crowd.
