Barrister Babu: Bharose ka Gathbandhan (os collection)

Ateet Ke Andhere

“Chodi huyi aurat hai ye. Chod diya hai iske pati ne jee kar kya karegi ye. Ise jeene ka koi adhikar nahi.”

“Chodi huyi aurat ko jeene ka adhikaar kyu nahi. Mere pati ne mujhe chod diya to meri kya galati.”

“Galati teri hi hogi tabhi to pati ne chod diya. Aur tujhe unke hath paon jodkar maafi mangni chahiye thi kyuki tu aurat hai.” 

“Maine bahut baar maafi mangi unse aur royi v par unhone mujhe maaf nhi kiya aur apne ghar se nikal jane ko kaha.”

“To jab pati ne nikal hi diya to rahegi kaha tu. Pata nahi shadi ke baad mayka paraya ghar hota hai aur sasuraal apna. Aur tujhe samhalega kaun.”

“Par wo mera ghar hota to mujhe nikalte thodi. Unka tha isliye jane ke liye keh diya.”

“Ha to sadi ke baad patni ko pati ki dasi bankar rehna padta hai sasural me. Aur ab to tera pati dusri sadi kar raha. Wo tujhe bhul chuka hai. Ab tu kisi kuye me jaake mar jaa.”

“Mai unhe nhi bhuli fir wo mujhe kaise bhul gaye.”

“Bahut ho gaya bas ab ham tujhe is gaon me rehne nhi denge. Chodi huyi aurat ke liye sirf ek hi jagah hoti hai, agar tujhe roj marna hai to waha ja warna jake mar jaa. Bhagao ise yaha se. Aise nhi manegi. Bandho ise rassi se aur feko kichad ispe.”

Each word from their mouth was piercing her heart. She felt like her heart was broken into thousand pieces. Tears continuously rolling down her cheeks and she was standing still.

Bondita now in her teenage was living her horrible past once again which she never want to think even. But she had to. She was facing once again the wrath of the hypocrite patriarchal society.

Anirudh was also standing numb. Even hearing those things felt like daggers down his heart but he was witnessing it whatever his little Bondita had to go through due to his one mistake. 

But this wasn’t the time to shed tears it was time to fight for the little girl who is facing these things at this tender age. He rushed to help the girl but stood at a distance when she found Bondita beside the girl with Mashaal. Her eyes emitting fire and she was looking fierce and only her look made people stop then and there 

“Khabardar jo kisi ne ise koi nuksan pahuchane ki kosis ki iska anjaam bura hoga. Agar ise jeene nhi doge to tumlog v zinda nhi rahoge. Is gaon me aag laga dungi.”

Ani was seeing his own self in Bondita. Bondita Anirudh Roy Chaudhary was the mirror image of Anirudh Roy Chaudhary. Bondita has turned into a strong young lady in guidance of Anirudh and her own sufferings experience made her more fierce this time. 

“Aap kaun hai aur ise kyu bachana chah rahi.”

“Mai ek aurat hoo aur ek aurat hone aur insaaniyat ke nate iski madad kar rahi jo insanniyat aplogo me mar chuki hai.”

“Kya keh rhi hai aap. Apko pata v hai ye chodi huyi aurat hai. Ise jeene ka adhikaar nhi.”

“Kyun chodi huyi aurat kya insaan nhi hoti. Uski bhawnaye nhi hoti? Use taklif nhi hoti? Pehle uski zindagi me itna gham hai aur aplog madad nhi kar sakte to kisi ki mushkile badhane ka kya adhikaar hai.

Aur jab aapne ise zindagi di hi nhi to zindagi chinne ka adhikaar apko kaise. Jab apne ise khushiyan nhi de sakte to ise gham kyu dena.
