"Aaj phir tumhe aane me der ho gayi hai , Aadhya" Anirudh spoke s as he stood up from his chair . " Kitni baar btana padega ki insan ke jivan me sabse jaruri Anushasan hota hai. " He turned his back towards her as he walked towards the bookshelf to fetch some books" Iss baar tumhari iss galti ko maaf nhi karne wala .Saja ke taur pe tumhe......
"Aapne bees saal ke umr me aath saal ki Bondita se shadi ki thi?" Her voice reverberated in the office . Suddenly everything felt very still .
Anirudh gingerly turned toward her . His eyes met her eyes which was urging him to deny as if her life depended on this denial.
Clocks ticked and Aadhya waited ,her mind replaying the conversation that she had with the woman, Saudamini,whom she encountered in her way while coming to the court .Her car was not in working condition, so she offered her help. She asked how would she help when she herself was walking.
"Court yaha pass me hi hai . Mai waha pahuch kar aapke liye koi gadi bhijwa deti hu" Aadhya had offered.
"Kyu court me tum apni gadi park kar ke rakhti ho kya?" Saudamini joked lightly .
"Meri nhi , Barrister Babu ki jeep hogi ." Aadhya replied. "Mai unse keh dungi aapke liye jeep bhej de"
"tumhari baat Bahut jyada manta hai kya wo " Her voice turned bitter as she spoke.
"Baat sahi hoti hai to man jate hai Sakha babu" Aadhya spoke.
"Sakha Babu..." She pronounced each syllable slowly raising his eyebrows. " to naye dost bana liye hai Anirudh ne" This time Bitterness of her voice was so much obvious that Aadhya couldn't remain oblivion from it .
"Sambhal kar rehna. Anirudh jaise aastin ke saap hote hai .Ye 'Dosti' ka zehar na jine deta hai aur na marne " Saudamini spoke , enraging Aadhya.
" Lagta hai ki Sakha Babu ko le kar aapka nazariya shayad aapke vyaktigat samasya se prabhavit hai" Aadhya tried to be civil with her regardless of her anger ." Kyunki aapke alawa Jo bhi unhe jante hai wo unki tarif karte nhi thakte. Unke siddhant.......
"Siddhant...." Saudamini brust out in fit of humourless laughter. " Sidhhant ...." She gave her a wry smile. " Tumhare Sakha babu ka siddhant keval jhoot aur dikhawa hai. Dohre charitra ka insaan hai wo " She spoke gritting.
"To aapko logo ko pehchanna aaya hi nhi hai" Aadhya spoke , trying to keep her anger in control.
" Tumhare Sakha babu ko mujhse behtar koi pehchan bhi nhi sakta " Whenever she spoke 'sakha Babu" , it sounds like mockery.
"Itne hi Mahan aur Siddhantwadi hai wo to Puchhna usse Ja kar ki.... Kyu biss saal ki umr me usne aath saal ki Bondita ke saath shadi ki thi"
Aadhya felt like some thunderbolt had striked her ,as she contemplated the words that she fell on her ears.
"BAAL VIVAH KE KHILAAF KANUN LAYA THA NA WO .PUCHHO USSE KI KYU USME AAISE PRAVDHAN RAKHE JISSE USKE RISHTE KO AANCH NA AAYE ." Saudamini said. "Ye Mahanta aur ye siddhant bas tum jaise bhole logo ke liye chhalwa hai ,Aadhya. Jis Bondita ke liye wo itna tarapta hai ,uske maut ke waqt wo bas 16 saal ki thi.Bachchi thi jisse wo pyar karne ka dawa karta hai."
"Soch bhi sakti ho ki kitna ghinauna hai ye.Are Usse to itna sabr nhi hua tha ki wo Bondita ke bade hone ka intezar kare. Bistar gila kar diya karti thi wo jab wo Anirudh ki Patni ban kar aayi thi ."
Aadhya forced the memory out from her brain and concentrated on Anirudh who was standing in front of her .This couldn't be true. It had to be lie. How could a man like Anirudh do such a disgusting thing? Just one 'no' from his mouth and all words of that lady would turned out to be lie.
