Anidita: A sweet journey towards a new dawn

Chapter 11.2: Can the heart be broken apart (part 2)

Next morning Dr. Bose came for Bondita's treatment. She was a little shocked to see Anirudh wasn't there. Maybe he has gone out for some work, she wondered.

Bose went to Bondita's room and saw her standing by the window closely observing something.
Bose went near her. She saw she is closely observing the birds roaming in the garden.
"Bondita " called Bose
Bondita looked at her. She hold Bose's hand and went towards her bed.
Dr. Bose could see a childish expression in Bondita's face... her face wasn't as cold as before

Bondita laid down on the bed.. Dr. Bose unwrapped the bandages of her hand. Bondita looked at her healing wounds but suddenly gets shocked..

"R a woh nam kaha geya?!" Asked Bondita

Dr. Bose was shocked was happy.. she spoke..

"Didi woh naam kaha geya??"
"Keya naam Bondita " asked Dr. Bose

"Woh jo pati babu aur mera naam likhwaya tha maine woh.. unhone to kaha tha ki yeh naam kabhi nehi mitega.."
"Bondita tumhara haat buri tarah se jaal geya tha.. waha per firse neya tak uga hain.. koi janam dag bhi agar tha toh woh mit jata..."
Bondita looked at Dr. Bose in a shocked way..
"Mit geya" said Bondita slowly.. "Mit geya... accha hua mit geya.. bhoj hi to hu main unke liye... maine jab socha hain unhe chorke chali jaungi toh accha hi kiya durga ma ne.. unhone naam hi mita diya.. nehi to yeh naam mere upar bhoj banti..."

Dr. Bose understood Bondita's pain
"Bondita. .kaha jaogi tum?"
"Dalhousie chali jaungi.. Roy Choudhury o ka naam bhi chorke jaungi..."
Dr. Bose holds Bondita's hand and says in a calm tone
"Aisa nehi ho sakta Bondita... tum ush naam ke siba kahi nehi ja sakti... Anirudh babu tumhare abhibabak hain... ek abhibabak ek rhiste ke bagyar tum kahiki nehi rahogi..."
"Per pati babu ne hi to kaha tha naam alag karke bal bibaha ke kupratha se bachayenge ...toh?"
Dr. Bose suddenly understood Anirudh's intensions... she felt admiration for his mindset..
"Kaha hoga .. per yeh abhi ke jamane main sambhab nehi hain.. tum ucha soch sakte ho per samaj utna ucha nehi sochta... tumhe pehle apne bal per khara hona hoga .. aur uske liye tumhe ish nasm ka hi sahara lena hoga... alag ho jaoki to samaj main tumhara koi stan nehi rahega.. samaj ek din main nehi badal sakta.. use badal ne ke liye chote chote kadam lene hote hain... main tumhari dukh tumhari dard samaj sakti hu Bondita per koi upai nehi... even bidesh main bhi larkiyo ka paichan shadi se hi hoti hain.. bachalor ho to Miss aur shadisudha ho to Mrs. ... duniya ki soch badalna itna asan to nehi... haq manglo izzat kamalo jo bhi karlo larkiyo ki parichay hamesa shadi se hi hoti hain" Dr. Bose said in a disappointed tone..
"Per yeh to galat hain na..." asked Bondita
"Ha galat hain.. per uske birudh awaj uthane ke liye bhi tumhe apni khud ka parichay banana hoga jo ish naam ke siba nehi hoga.. samjhi Bondita.. jaise main Dr. Bose bulate hain sab.. no Ms no Mrs sirf Dr. Bose..."

Bondita felt inspiredby her words "aur main banungi Barrister Bondita.." she thought to herself

As Dr. Bose dressed her wounds Bondita gave a close look at her dressing. That simple saree so propely plitted.. the style of the blouse.. the hairstyle... it's so simple but so smart.. her style of walkimg taking is soo cool.
"Aap bohat sundar ho didi..." admired Bondita
"Keya!" Said Dr. Bose in a amused tone.. "main aur sundar.. yeh to kisine pehli baar kaha hain..."
"Apki saree pehenne ka dhang mujhe bohat accha laga"
"Pehnogi aise saree??"
"Ha ha... sikha dijiye na" Bondita was very enthusiastic
"Per tumto abhi pure tarah se thick nehi hui ho.. aur kal ke baat se to main aur aungi bhi nehi keuki jakham thick ho chuke hain... thick hain main tumhe likh ke de dungi... padhne likhne main tum to maher ho.. maine suna hain.."
Bondita was happy to hear to this appreciation
Dr. Bose finished her work and was leaving
"Toh Bondita aj main chalti hu ha.. dawai thick se kha lena..."
"Ha didi... jaise didi apka naam keya hain?"
"Dipa... Dipnaneeta Bose..."
"Toh main apko Dipa didi bulaungi..."
Dr. Bose smiled. This child has really become very close to her during this short time...

As she went out of the room she saw Anirudh standing there with messy hair and messy dressing hugging a soft toy... he was from inside broken to see that Bondita spoke so happily with Dr. Bose but she isn't bothering him. Dr. Bose understood that Bondita hasn't forgiven him and for that ge is broken.
Dr. Bose prayed to Durga ma that their relation is recovered soon.. she hasn't seen such pure hearts before and she can't see them broken..

Anirudh signed her to come and they went towards the main door....
