"aahhh..dardd--", Bondita holded her stomach as she was trying to stand .

"Yeh kya ho raha hai.. itna dard kyun.. uppar se yeh khoon.", her nails dig her own flesh as she tries divert her mind causing pain to her own self only.

"Bahuu.. bahar aao", ksj shouted standing outside the door making her complete shock.

What to reply him now . How will she open the door being in this state. Her Ksj is so smart, he somehow will make her confess whatever she was hiding and she knew this.

Fear was visible on her face making sweat drops on forehead.
She didn't knew how to reply him now. Second by second his knock was getting intense making him panick.

"Bahuu.. bahu kya hua hai .. kholo darwaza", he shouted not able to register her actions now.

Why was she not even answering him . Every second was making him scared now. What will he answer her son now! He wasn't able to keep good care of his wife?

Leave about Anirudh also, his own daughter like daughter in law being in some problem was making him panick. He kept shouting making Bondita even more panick. But finally. Finally she opened.

"Bahuu", tear drop left ksj's eyes as he looked at her. She wasn't looking well at all. Her discomfort was visible on her face but she didn't say a word.

"Tum darwaza kyun nahi khol Rahi thi bahu? Sab thik hai na? Tumhara bukhar sahi ho gaya ab?"

"Haa ksj.. pehle se sahi hai ab.. aap chinta na kare", she exaled.

Bondita was tired, even pain in her abdomen and back was making it even worse for her and cherry on top she slept on floor making her condition worst now.

"Tum thik nahi lag rahi ho bahu.. koi pareshani hai kya? Main tumhara kaka sasur hun.. tumhare pati ko bachpan se apni goud mein hi khilaya hai maine.. baap ka pyaar hi Diya hai . Tum bhi meri beti ho..pareshani ho toh apne pita se keh skti ho beta", he tried to console her little heart.

Her eyes were getting unknown water. She didn't even knew when that drop left her eye. She always loved her Ksj so much though sometimes her thoughts weren't similar with him but her respect was always the same.

She always loved her Ksj just like her father and today when she needed him as her father, he was with her. Maybe he didn't knew but his words were enough for her.

Sometimes we all hide some emotions inside us knowing we should tell our elders about them still we don't and just creates more problems for us but our elders knows us. They know everything about us.

They know we are hiding something from them and then they don't force us instead just gives us some courage to fight against it and in a hope that we will tell them everything.

Same was happening with Bondita. She knew she should be discussing about her every problem with her husband or even with her Ksj.

Only two male person in her life who won't judge her ever. Instead always try their level best to give her life full of roses removing all thorns.

But she wasn't able to now. Fear of losing her husband and every other member of her family was giving her nightmares. She can't tell anyone about this , not at the cost of losing them.

"Bahu tumhare pati ko bhej raha hun... Umeed karta hun tum usko zarur bataogi.. humse ho sakta hai hichak rahi ho par usko zarur bata dena beta. Ek wahi hai jo tumhare dard ki dawa hai. Yadd rakhna beta hmesha.".

"Ksj par.."

"Bhej Raha hun Anirudh ko", with this Ksj left making sweatbeads form on her face.

"Pati babu ko kya bolungi par ab main".

How will she face him now. How will she face her husband now.

"Vo toh meri baat smjhenge hi nahi.. vo toh shraap mein mante hi nahi hai..", she sat on the bed and bent to drink water from the glass kept on the bed side table.

"Boudii", batuk came running towards her making her startled.

"Batuk.. bss ", she stopped him little away from herself.

Obviously she was asked to stay away from every men of the family .

"Kya hua hai boudi? Roka kyun? Mujhe toh aapko vidyalaya ka batana tha aaj.. aap aayi nahi thi na", he says innocently.

She kept the glass back on the table and laid on the bed .
She need to maintain distance from him and this was the only way left with her now.

"Boudi aap thik nahi Hui kya?", he steped towards her in concern but was stopped by her halfmidway again.

"Voo.. haa batuk mera sir bohot dard kar raha hai.. vo a--l-mairi- "

"Almirah hai boudii..",he giggled making Bondita laugh too.

Actually she knew it was Almirah but it's now her habit to pronounce words incorrect so her beloved husband and sometimes her devar's correct her .

She finds cute when they correct her .It makes her believe they are giving full attention to her only. And this is the reason Batuk giggled too.

"Haa toh vo jo bhi hai.. udhar mere sir par lgane wala balm hai.. mujhe de do aur tum jake padhlo Batuk".

"Main Anirudh Dada ko bhi bata deta hun fir aap aram kar rahe ho."

"Kya.. Pati Babu.. mtlb.."

"Boudi vo jab main aa raha tha na toh mujhe dada mile the vo idhar hi aa rahe the tab Tak unko unke daftar se kuch call aagaya aur unhone mujhe dekha toh bola ki aapka haal unko batata hua jau"

"Her eyes widened. It means her Ksj already asked him to meet me.
Noo ksj .. ab main kya krungi dugga ma.. kya bolungi pati babu ko.. yeh toh meri ek baat nahi sunenge.", she was lost in her thoughts making Batuk make his tone little loud.

"Boudi...", He said little loudly making her shock.

"Hey bhagwan Batuk.. mere kaan.. chilla kyun rahe ho"

"Aap meri baat sun kaha rahe the .. itni der se bol raha hun balm rakh di hai laga dena... Dada ayenge shyd apko milne thodi der mein.. abhi toh vo call par busy hai"

"Dhanyawad... Tumne khana khaa liya?"

"Haa boudi vidyalaya se aake kha liya tha . Bss ab khelne Jaa raha hun.. aapko vidyalaya ka jab kuch Janna ho toh mujhe bata dena... Main aapke notes bhi likhva ke le aya hun vaise apne dosto se.. aap fikar mat karo.. ", he smiled making her eyes little wet.

Everyone dreams of loving husband, father like sasur/kaka sasur ji , brother like devar's. But here our Bondita was having them. She had one of the most caring family who actually made her feel like queen everytime. Who makes her feel like she is the most important person in this entire world for each one of them.

Soon sleep engulfed her.
