Anirudh and Amar were travelling on the horse cart. The Race course passed by.
"Accha Amar yeh Barrister Banerjee matlab inke bare main agar kuch information dete to accha hota..."
"Anirudh Barrister Banerjee bohat bare barrister hain.. mere baba ke jigre dost hain woh... he's very humble snd generous... unko ek junior ki jarurat hain... as his junior left for a good job in London... "
"Accha...."
"Woh junior Bardhaman se tha.. toh woh unke ghar main hi raha karta tha... he can offer you too.. now it's upto you to accept... zamindar ke bete ho isliye maine alag sa ghar dekhke rakha hain..."
Anirudh looked out at the buzzing city life....
"Agar offer karenge to accept zaroor karunga.."
"Haa!! Anirudh? ?"
"Mera matlab guru ke sath rahunga to bohat kuch sikhne ko milega na..."
"Yes.. good point..."
Anirudh just thought that if he lives at barrister Banerjee's place then his whole income will be saved...
The Carriage stooped before a big gate. Amar signed the guards and they opened the door. The carriage passed through the stoned road of the law and stopped at the garibarandah (A shed before the main door as seen in old mansions). Anirudh and Amar got down the carriage. Anirudh was just exploring the mansion. It's not less big than his haveli....
"Aao Anirudh " called Amar..
"Amar, Banerjee babu ne yeh mahal Barristari karke banayi hain??"
"Nehi nehi yeh to unke baap dada ka makan hain... per tum chaho to bare barrister banke aisa ek makan kharid sakte ho... uttar Kolikata (the native name of Kolkata, see caption) main to aise bohat se makan bech ne le liye pare hua hain.."
They soon crossed the corridor and stood before a big library..
"Banerjee kaka undar auo??" Amar seeked permission..
A man in his 50s but stout and handsome as a gentleman was seen before a almirah reading a book..
"R a Amar beta... undar ayo..."
Amar entered and Anirudh slowly entered behind him..
"Kaka yeh hain mera dost Anirudh. .. jiski baat maine kal kiya tha aap se..." Amar introduced Anirudh . Anirudh folded his hand in namaste
Banerjee gave a thorough look at him
"Umar se hi bare hua ho dimag abhi bhi baccha hain..." said Banerjee with a smile
"Jii.. sir???" Anirudh was wuite confused
"Batho.." Banerjee showed them the chair... "tumhari akhen dekhke samaj ah raha hain ki tum dimag se kitne bacche ho...." smiled Banerjee. .
"R a kaka London main ...pata hain apko.. iske piche larkiyo ki line lag jati thi...."
Anirudh gave a akward look at Amar... he was quite embarassed at his this kinda introduction.
"Sirr... main mere documents laya hu......"
Anirudh put forward his file... Banerjee went through the papers
"R a wah... tum to bohat acche student ho... but yeh to duplicate certificate lagta hain...."
"Ha sir woh original kahi gayab ho geya..."
"Gyab ho geya???" Wondered Banerjee
"R a kaka yeh khud nehi gyab ho geya yahi sukr hain..." teased Amar....
"Amar..." scolded Banerjee "keu aise bol rahe ho ise.. aise hi dara hua hain..."
Anirudh wondered how did he knew that he's frightened? !
"Ta Anirudh tumhe mere ghar rehne main koi dikkat to nehi...."
"Ji nehi sir.... " answered Anirudh in a shy tone "guru ke paas rehna to shisya ka param saubhaya hain..."
Banerjee was impressed by his words..
"Toh tum par kisi ka zimedari hain keya.... I mean are you married? ?"
"R a kaka yeh to shadi....." Amar was going to intervene but Anirudh answered
"Ji ha main shadisuda hu..."
Amar gave a shoked look at him "kab kaha kaise???!!! Shadi kar li per bulaya nehi?????!!!!!"
"Nehi woh..." hesitated Anirudh "woh uske gaowake uski sati karne ja rahe the to maine woh...."
"Shadi pe bhi charity kar di?!" Exaclaimed Anirudh
Now Anirudh was angry but he said calmly
"Isse tumhe keya problem hain?!... jindegi to meri hain na..."
Amar stopped... then again asked "dikhti kaisi hain??"
Anirudh gave a angry look
"Nehi matlab shadi ka khana...."
"Khila dunga baad main.." said Anirudh in a childish tone
Banerjee just observed this kids and gave a faint smile... he was wuite impressed by Anirudh at the first meeting..
