Noyoner moni

chapter -1: part -2

Arey hatiye!
Hatiye sab!
She ran as fast as she could without realising that mangoes she had collected in her saree were falling one by one from pallu of her saree.
Choti malkin!
She thrashed with bihari and as a result all the soundesh in the silver thal which he held fell down.
Maafi bhari babu!
She said as she rushed through the stairs .
Ye malkin kisse maafi mang rahi thi!
Wahan par!
He scratched his head .
Chod bihari malik aur choto maa aa rahi hain!
Unke andar pravesh karne se pehle ye sab saaf karle nahi toh tujhe maafi nahi milegi pair bhi pakdega toh!
He said to himself.
When bondita reached her room, she was sweating profusely.
But she went towards her window and koyeli standing down at the veranda gestured her something by her hands it was then she sighed in relief.
She thrashed herself on the bed relaxing a little bit but then eventually woke up with a jerk.
"Bus aadha ghanta hai tere paas bondita !
Abhi toh pati babu aur batuk ne rok liya hoga mandir par dono ko
" Par woh jyada derr tak kaka sasurji    aur choto maa ko uthakar nahi            payenge "
She went and took a shower.
And draped a heavy muslin saree in atpoure style (is draped with box pleats in the front, while the pallu (veil) appears on both shoulders. The veil comes from the back on the left shoulder first and then comes from the back on the right shoulder. It used to be prevalent for Bengali women to tie a bunch of keys to the veil end that goes over the right shoulder – this used to signify an important woman and, therefore, she commanded respect and honour)
She stood in front of the mirror and started sliding off those heavy gold ornaments absentmindedly.
Her mind was travelled to her childhood.
Flashback
Ye le pehen aur taiyar ho jaa
A woman placed a thin gold chain around her neck.
Hata na mami  chubta hai!
She took it off from her neck being irritated and gave it to her aunt
Dimag phir gaya hai  kya tera jo tu suchi ke vivah par aise suna gala lekar jaayege!
Log kya kahenge!
Baba nahi rahe!
Toh maami ne saara sona hadap liye vidhwa nonod ka!
Her mami said cunningly.
Waise bhi kaunsa tumne maa ka rani haar pehen naya hai mujhe!
Ye mamuli se chain toh tum apne mayike se layi thi
Mere baba ke naam par jhooth kyun bol rahi ho!
Bondita said combining her hair.
Aye bondita!
Ekdom chup ho ja!
She raised her hand in fury and was going to slap her but suddenly someone stopped her holding her hand.
Rehne dijiye bodi bacchi hai
Usko chubhan hote hai , aur uljhan bhi aadat nahi na!
The lady said looking at her and caressing her hair.
Haan garibon ko gehne ki chamak kahan bhaye gi!
Aur tevar toh dekho iske aise bol rahi hai jaise zammindarini ho kahin ki!
Kulakshini!
She pulled bondita's hair and laughed mercilessly.
Roop kya de diya zara sa dugga maa ne
Khud ko sach mein apsara hi samajh baithe hai
Vivah kar do didi iss satayanashi ka nahi toh pata chala ki zubaan par lagaam nahi toh koyi dekhega bhi nahi iska ye chehra!
She lifted her chin and pressed it by her thumb with force , there was a cut at her chin because the corner of ring of her finger pierced into her skin causing it to bleed.
Mami himmat kaise huyi tumhari mujhe haanth lagane ki
Bondita stood up in anger and twisted her arm which made her winch in pain.
Oh kali maa! 
Chod mujhe pichashini
Haanth todegi kya mera chod mujhe!
She cried.
Pehle maafi maango mujhse! 
Bondita roared.
Bondita chod maami hai teri
Chod bondita maine kaha chod!
Maafi mang lo maami
Ya toota hua haanth saath lekar jaana! 
Haanth tut gaya toh maa se churaye huye jare huye kangan kis mein pehenogi tum!
She smirked.
Aanken hai ya durbeen is nashpiti ko kaise pata chala ki sumati didi ke kangan mere paas hai
She muttered under breath cursing her.
Accha toh maafi nahi maangne waali tum.
Bondita scared her even more.
Nahi nahi karde mujhe, maaf karde
mere pyaari bhanji
As soon as bondita released her, her mami devoleena disappeared from the hut.
Sumati made her wear the gold earrings.
And taking her hands in hers slided down the thin gold plated bangles in her hand.
She didn't said anything but puffed up her face.
While her maa grinned looking at the antics of her ten year old daughter.
Maa tujhe pata hai na ki mujhe ye sab pasand nahi.
She frowned looking at her mother.
Par pehen na pad ta hai!
Her maa replied applying the sandalwood paste on her wound.
Kyun bhala?
Bondita asked.
Kyunki sundar dikhti hai ladki
Her maa answered.
Par baba kehte the ki sundarta man se hote hai tan se nahi.
She retaliated.
Pehen naya jata hai gehna kyunki
niyantran mein rahe ladki
Kali maa ka avatar naa ban jaaye jaise tu ban gayi thi abhi.
She chuckled listening her maa 's words.
Beta kyun ladte thi mami se!
Bata!
Tere  bhale ke liye hi toh keh rahe the sab kuch!
Aur kal ko sasuraal jayegi toh aise hi ghumegi
Bahu ke shringaar mein parivaar ka maan dikhta hai "
Samjhe
Toh main apne pati se keh dunge woh mana lega sasural waalon ki bondita ko ye sab pasand nahi
Ghutan hote hai use
Bondita said giggling.
Pagli!
Her maa smacked her playfully.
*********************************
She looked herself in the mirror.
She was adorned with the ornaments.
The exquisite rani haar, the dazzling jhumka.
Gold plated bangles.
Every her saree had the embroidery of gold wires.
She sighed in relief.
Finally she looked as the boro bodhu of zamindars.
Her maa's words echoed in her ears.
Though she never liked being dressed so lavishly but she did it for sake of her kaka sasurji.
She smiled at herself looking at the mirror.
Few moments before she looked like a carefree girl of a small village devipur.
But now she was zamindaarini
Bondita Roy Chaudary
Boro bodhu of roy chaudary and wife of  well known barrister of Bengal province.
Aniruddh Roy Chaudary .
She heard a knock at the door as soon as she opened the door.
She found batuk looking at her with eyes wide open.
He bursts into laughter looking at her from top to bottom.
Kya hua has kyun rahe ho tum itna?
Bondita placed her hands on her waist and scolded him.
Geheno ke dukaan lut kar aayi ho kya!
Dhyan se kahin saans lena hi na bhul jaana gehne sambhalte sambhalte!
He teased her.
While she glared him angrily.
Chalo jaldi nahi toh kaka datenge!
Haan chalo!
She said.
Ek minute ruko!
She went inside the room and applied a thick layer of sindoor in her hair partition.
Sindoor lagana toh bhul hi gaye the.
Ab chalo.
He gave her his hand.
She held her hand and moved downstairs.
