"Per achanak se yaha se jane ka faisla kuch samajh nhi aaya ?" Kalindi speaks looking at Aadhya who is packing her bag quite too furiously.
" Yaha rehne ka koi maqsad nhi raha hai" Aadhya speaks in monotone voice as she keeps packing her things without looking up at the women assembled in her room.
Sumati can see that some kind of internal struggle is going inside her as she stuffed her things in her bag. The tension is evident for rest of the people too.
"Per Kolkata Jane ki kya jarurat hai.Jab tak London jane ka intezam nhi ho jata .Yahi reh sakti ho tum?" said Tupur sensing reluctance of Aadhya to say anything further. Aadhya pause for a few seconds but doesn't give any reply and continues her work
"Barrister Babu ne kuchh kaha hai kya?" asked Sumati .Aadhya's hand stops for more than a few seconds while her eyes brimmed with tears.
"Barrister Babu ki baato ka bura mat mano Aadhya " Kalindi speaks ." Gusse me unhe hosh nhi rehta hai ki unhone kya kaha"
"Agar unke kisi baat se tumhe bura laga hai,To Mai tumse maafi mangti hu. Gusse me yaha se jane ka faisla mat lo" Speaks Sumati.
"Ha, Aadhya , Barrister Babu dil ke bahut achche hai bas kuchh galat hota dekh unka gussa kabu me nhi rehta hai aur wo aaise sabd bol dete hai jo unke man se nhi rehta ." Speaks Kalindi and Sumati can see anger building in Aadhya. She turns towards Kalindi , looking at her with cold eyes.
"Sahi kaha aapne . Barrister Babu jo sabd kehte hai wo unke man me nhi rehta .Aur unke kaamo me to bilkul nhi rehta " She speaks .Her words seems to be on edge, carrying some irritation. "Aur shayad yahi achchai hai aap sab ke liye.
"Kya bolna chah rahi ho ,Aadhya .Saaf saaf bolo " Speaks Sumati unable to understand her encrypted words
"Aap se kya bolu, Kaki? Apni aath saal ki beti ki Shaadi usse do gune se bade insaan ke saath kaewane se pehle aapne nhi socha .To meri baato ko aap kya samjhengi" Her voice is neither high pitch , nor it is giving the sense of blaming. It is softly spoken , carrying her disappointment, reflecting how heartbroken is she from this information.
"Kaise Kaki?" She turns and looks in the eyes of Sumati, carrying the disappointment and pain in her eyes ."..... aapki apni Beti thi na wo ...Itna bojh tha unka aap per ki uske bade hone ka intezar nhi kiya gya aapse . Itni badi mushibat thi aapki beti aapke liye."
Sumati gulped the lump forming in her throat. Many a times Aadhya reminds her of Bondita .It is main reason for her affection towards her. Now the same reason made it suffocating to look in the eyes of that girl .It felt like instead of Aadhya,Bondita was confronting her , pointing out her failure as a mother .
She looked down unable to face the weight of allegations
"Baal vivah koi nayi baat nhi hai humare yaha. " Speaks Kalindi .Aadhya turned her face towards her with her eyes burning with anger and unshed tears " Bondita akele ladki nhi thi jiski shaadi bachpan me hui hai .Sumati ki shaadi bachpan me hi Hui hai . Humare samaj me lagbhag har pachvi ladki ki shaadi issi umr me hui hai .Koi nayi baat to nhi hai . Videsh se padh kar aane wale logo ko hi pta nhi kyu apne riti riwazo me samasya hone lagti hai"
"Aapko koi samasya nhi lagti isme ?" Aadhya asked looking at her in disbelief. "Kya sach me koi samasya nhi hai " she turns to look at Sumati.
"Bachpan me shaadi hui thi na aapki. Sab achcha tha aapke saath. Koi dushprabhav nhi hua aap per?" She asked from Sumati
"Kisi bhi Shaadi me sab achcha nhi hota hai. Har shaadi me koi na koi dikkat hoti hai" Said Kalindi.
