ANIRUDH'S POV
Bondita! I always ought to unchain you from all the shackles this vile society gifts a girl with. I wanted to give you a flight of our dreams, see you thriving as a self-dependent individual since always. I wish I could witness your odyssey of transformation from a twee but to an ostentatious and modest flower at every step. But it wasn't possible maybe that's why we could get only few glances of each other for these long years. Yet now you have returned here, to me. And I don't wish to let you go in any way. Maybe I have said somethings which will keep me away from you but they never meant that I will give up on us. Bondita now that I have realized that even you don't want any other relation, I wish to ask you a chance for ours with your choice, which was never asked in the first place. Just few more time and I really hope that we will have everything we had once along many newer in future.
Look here I'm talking to you and you are looking at sky upwards. This is not fair na!...
" Ohho Patibabu, aapo bhi na tasveer bhi kabhi aapke taraf dekh sakti hai kya bhala. Aap bhi na Buddhu Babu hai bilkul."
"Bondita tum yaha, aur tum itni choti kaise ho gayi." I asked immediately turning around to look at a 15-year-old Bondita.
"Main choti nahi hui hu, main to bas aapke man ki kalpana hu. Aapki Bondita toh bahar hai, jaaiye uske paas. Dekhiye aaj poonam ka chaand kitna bada nikla hai aur taaron bhar aasman kitna acha lag raha hai, Bondita jarur milegi aapko." Said the little Bondita with a teasing smile.
" Ha, par tumhare kakasasurji ka kya jab pichle baar gaya tha toh uske kamre ke bahar hi pahredaari kar rahe the. Mujhe toh lagta hai vo chahte hi nahi hai ki main milu Bondita se. Par ab tum kah rahi ho toh ek baar main jaata hu." With this he started to move out of the secret room locking it carefully as it contained his precious treasure the photos and portraits of Bondita in whole room.

Author's Pov
" Aaj to needh hi nahi aa rahi, kab se kitab bhi padh rahi hu. Aasman bhi kitna acha hai aaj. Aise mein bhala needh aa sakti hai kya kisiko haina Book Babu." Bondita said to herself giggling at the thought, as she entered the terrace of Haveli only to witness someone already present there deeply engrossed in himself not noticing the surroundings. She slowly walked towards him tiptoeing and as she neared she screamed in his ears,..
"BATUKkk."
"AAAaahhhh,.............. Baudi aap hai! aapne toh dara hi diya tha mujhe main mar jaata toh. Meri toh abhi shaadi bhi nahi hui Som dada ki vajah se." Batuk said keeping a hand on his racing heart due to sudden shock and faked a pained emotion, while accusing Bondita.
"Acha vo sab chodo, ye batao tum yaha kya kar rahe ho vo bhi itni raat ko aur ye canvas ..." Bondita asked with suspicious look.
" Vo main painting kar raha tha, aaj aakash bahot acha hai na to man kiya kuch banau bas isiliye. Ab tum batao tum yaha kya kar rahi ho baudi aur ye kya hai haath mein kitaab, Tumhe bhi dada ki tarah raat ko bhi inse chutti nahi milti na." He said disinterestedly.
Bondita immediately replied in defence, " Are ye toh vo jasus wali upanyaas hai jo isi varsh publish huyi hai, Byomkesh Bakshi ki. Meri favorite hai, aur pata hai maine toh kai baar unhe imagine bhi kiya hai."
" Acha aur ye dada ko pata hai," Batuk said scruitinizing.
" Kise Barrister babu ko, agar unhe pata hota toh ye novel mere paas hoti kya abhi tak. Ab tak toh vo novel ki jagah mujhe vo Nehru ji ka independence India wala draft 7vi baar padhn ke liye bol rahe hote ab toh mujhe lagbhag sab yaad bhi ho gaya hai. Aakhir jabse bana hai tabse unhone london hi bhej diya aur fir har baar jab chuttiyan hoti thi toh bas,
