"Ummhhhh" Aadhya cleared her throat awkwardly , drawing the attention of women who were sitting on the floor and were preparing for pickle."Aaa....wo...Mere kapde sare wahi Saraye me reh gaye hai. To...". She looks down feeling hesitate to ask for clothes.
"Are to isme Samasya kya hai ." Said Kalindi ."Tupur Aadhya ko apni koi saari de do".
Last night when Aadhya arrived in this house, she hasn't thought about the luggage. Her mind was too occupied to think about it .She even didn't feel the need to change into her night dress and slept comfortably in the saree as if she was used to it , even though she actually never slept while wearing it.
"Tumhari Saari to Aadhya per Bahut Achhi lagegi , Lekin tumhari choli nhi aayegi isse" Chandrachur voice interrupts the peace of Aadhya .She turns back to look at him ,only to find him staring at the area that he has mentioned .She turns around feeling uncomfortable while Tupur steps forward
"Naap De do Mai nayi banwa le la dunga" He added.
The Situation of Das haveli is completely different from that of the Roy Chowdhury haveli. She hasn't seen any female member in latter while the former one has female dominance.The only man who is residing in this house is so annoying that Aadhya feels like breaking his Jaws just by looking at him. She is controlling herself because this man is related to the family that has given her the shelter.
"Kya Baat hai" Aadhya turns back to him with forced smile " Pehle Sari aur ab Blouse .Baki Mardo ke mukable kafi alag shaukh hai aapke " She said without trying to hide the underlying meaning of her words ."Thora Bahar Purusho ke saath bhi waqt bitaya kijiye. Bahut Jaruri hai aapke liye" She takes the saree and leaves from there.
"Kitne Mardana saukh hai Mere , Ye jald hi pta chal jayega tumhe" Said Chandrachur caressing his lips with his hand. Tupur looks at her husband with an unsettling fear .
********************
Anirudh is sitting in his cabin and is discussing something with a lady ,who seems to be around his age and is sitting in front of him , hearing him intently , when Aadhya enters in the cabine, stumbling badly , haltering the Anirudh's conversation. He looks up at him and found her standing in front of him , breathing heavily. The woman sitting in front of him too looks up at her
"Kya Samay ho raha hai, Aadhya?" asked Anirudh sternly .
"10:30" She replied timidly.
"Yahi waqt kaha gya tha tumse? Krishnanagar se yaha aane me 20 minutes lagte hai. Yani tum 10:10 me nikli ho ghar se .Kyu?" He asked without changing his tone.
"Kyuki blouse silne me waqt laga " She murmurs under her breath in low voice
"Mujhe Anushasan bahut pasand hai , Aadhya ." He said when she didn't reply. Though he understands that she couldn't have slept well and may be couldn't wake up in the morning , afterall events of last night is enough to bring sleepless night for anyone , however he still acted to be stern . So that she doesn't make habit of being late .
"Baitho Yaha. " Speaks Anirudh signalling towards the sit beside the lady. Aadhya follows his order silently.
"Aadhya, Ye Manorma ji hai .Pichle aath(8) saalo se ye mere saath kaam kar rahi hai" Anirudh speaks after she takes her seat.
"Aap bhi Barrister hai" Aadhya asked chirpy, getting excited upon the thought of working with another lady Barrister.
"Nhi. Mai to Padhi likhi bhi nhi hu. Bas Barrister Babu ki madat karti hu ,gaon ki aurton se baat karne aur samjhne me" replied the lady.
