"Kaka... Kaka....boudi kesi hai?" Batuk rushed inside the house. He was panting as he had come running. Kaka was sitting on the sofa with his papers of zamindari, but he was not completely abled to concentrate in that. Seeing Batuk coming hurriedly he stood up. "Batuk...Tu aa gaya...." He uttered. "Kaka... Kaka...maine suna ki gaonwale boudi ki aaj bazar mein bohot bezzati kiye...aur....aur bohot hangama bhi hua...kya....kya yeh sach hai Kaka?" He asked in one breath. "Haan beta....vo pados ki kuch aurtein ulta sidha keh rahe the aur fir kuch aur log zud gaye...." Kaka replied holding his shoulder. "Kya Kaka! Boudi....boudi kesi hai? Kanha...kanha hai boudi? Mujhe zana hai boudi ke pass...." He was just going hurriedly when Kaka stopped him. "Ruko beta ruko... tumhari boudi bilkul thik hai aur dawayi leke soh rahi hai. Chinta ki koi baat nahi. Ushe abhi aram karne do...baad mein mil lena..." Batuk became relaxed a bit hearing this. "Thanks God...." He sighed wiping his sweat from his forehead. "Par Kaka...main unhe chodhunga nahi....kya samajhte hai vo log apne aap ko....main abhi jake unhe unki asli sabak sikhata hu..." He was fuming with anger. "Nahi beta.... ruko....unha janeki koi jarurat nahi hai tumhe..." Kaka stopped him as he was going to fight with them. "Par kyu Kaka? Kyu nah jaun main? .....vo mere boudi, meri sabse achi dost ke sath esa bartav karenge aur main unhe chod du? Bilkul bhi nahi...." He shouted in anger. "Chodne ko kisne kaha hai tumhe beta...main bass yeh keh raha hu ki abhi iski zarurat nahi....tumhare Dada ne achese suna diya hai unhe.... aur pata hai? Tumhari boudi ne bhi aaj apni paksh se awaz uthayi....piche nahi hathi bilkul!" His eyes started gleaming with proudness for his bahu whom he considered as his own daughter. "Shotti Kaka!" Batuk asked with astonishment. "Ha Batuk... ekdom shotti..." He smiled looking at the Durga Maa's idol and again looked at Batuk " ishiliye to keh raha hu abhi unha janeki jarurat nahi....aur tu chinta maat kar.....Teri boudi aab bilkul thik hai kyuki tere Dada uske sath hai..." He sighed, " aur Tu bhi to hai nah... Bondita ke sabse pyaara devar aur sabse acha dost..." Batuk nodded smilingly. "Mujhe bohot garv hai apne tino bete par...." Kaka hugged Batuk and he also reciprocated his hug. "Mujhe maaf kardijiya Kaka apne?...kal maine bohot buri tarikese baat ki aap sabse...aur bohot bura bacha bhi baan gaya..." Batuk apologized with a mild voice. "Mmm...bache sayitani nahi karenge to kon karega sayitaniya?" Kaka said nodding his head wisely. Batuk laughed at his comment. "Apne maaf kardiya nah mujhe?" Batuk asked politely. "Areh beta...maa baap kya kabhi apne bachese zada der tak naraz reh sakte hai? Nahi nah...aur tumne to vo sab Bahu ke chinta mein kiye the...to maaf kardiya..." Kaka kept his right hand on his head. "Thank you kaka..." "Haan..haan...abhi jao aur apne dada se baat karo...vo subhese koshis kiye jah raha hai tumse baat katneke liye....jao...aur apne bich ki yeh maanmitav khatam karo...." Kaka instructed. "Par agar Dada naraz ho gaye to..." Batuk downed his face. "Areh pagla esa kuch nahi hoga.... Dada hai vo tumhara....jao jao... aur der maat karo..." "Ji Kaka...main abhi jata hu...." Batuk left.

Anirudh was sitting on his couch in the study room resting his chin on his palm. He was looking thoughtful. The scene of the market was continuously flashing in front of his eyes. The way those two women were taunting Bondita, the way the other people joined and laughed at her, Bondita's embarrassed face and her pain, all were making him restless. If he could beat those people hard, then he might become relaxed. Oh! He was so helpless. He couldn't do anything as Bondita had taken his promise not to quarrel anymore. He was thinking all these when he heard a knock at the door. It was no one but Batuk. Anirudh became surprised at first. "Areh Batuk...aao nah...." Anirudh stood up. Batuk was standing at the door keeping his head down. He nodded and took his steps slowly. He stopped at a few distance from Anirudh. "Kuch kehna hai?" Anirudh asked looking at him. "Vo Dada....maine suna ki kese gaonwalo ne boudi ki bimari ki mazak udha rahe the aur boudi ko bhi kitna kuch sanaye...." He said still looking at the floor. "Are mere bhai.... tujhe chinta karneki jarurat nahi hai..." Anirudh held his shoulder, "aur tera yeh jo boudi hai nah.... ekdam sherni hai sherni! Palatke esi javab di hai ki vo log dubara kuch kehnese pehle dass baar sochenge". Batuk smiled, "thank you Dada". "Thank you kis liye?" Anirudh asked with astonishment. "Apne jo boudi ka itna sath diya, uske liye.... Kaka ne bataya mujhe kese aap unha boudi ke samne dhal banke khade the..." Batuk replied with teary eyes and a smile on his face. "Acha?....to aa idhar..." Anirudh opened his arms for a hug. Batuk quickly hugged him and Anirudh too kept his one hand on his head and with the other hand he held him. "I am sorry Dada...maine bohot galat kiya apke sath.... mujhe vesa bartav nahi karna chahiye tha..." Batuk started crying. "Areh Batuk...Tu roh raha hai?" He raised Batuk's face, " Tu pagal hai? Main kya thodahi gussa hu tujhpe?" Anirudh said with immense brotherly love. "Aap gussa nahi ho mujhpe? Apne maaf kardiya mujhe Dada?" Batuk asked innocently. "Hey vagban...maine kaab gussa kiya tujhpe jo maaf karunga?....chal ankhe poch... pagal ek..." Batuk quickly wiped his tears. "Yeh hui nah baat....mere nathkhat bhai ko sararte karnahi sobha deta hai, nahi yeh rohna dhona" Anirudh pulled his cheeks and Batuk giggled. "Aur sun.... main mere bhai ko bohot achese janta hu. Vo jo bhi bolatha ushdin vo sirf aur sirf apni boudi ke liye....itna chinta jo hai ushe apni boudi ki...." Anirudh kept his hand on his head. "Par Dada...." "Sshhhh...par var kuch nahi...aab hum ush baremein nahi sochenge. Bondita kese zaldi thik hogi yehi aab humara makshat hai.... Bondita ko thik karne mein sath dega nah tu mera?" Anirudh forwarded his hand. "Zarur Dada...humesa sath dunga..." He held his hand tightly. "Main bhi...." Kaka entered smilingly and patted on both the brothers' shoulder. "Aur hum bhi...." Binoy and Som also came. "Areh aap dono!"Anirudh and Batuk exclaimed with amusement. Binoy and Som looked at eachother's eyes and held the trios hand, "hum bhi Bondita ko thik karne mein puri madat karenge." "Kya hum bhi aa sakte hai malik?" Koyli and Bihari asked together standing at the threshold, "hum bhi chahte hai ki bahuraniji jaldse jald thik ho jaye..." They said politely. "Areh aao nah tum dono bhi..." Anirudh said with a smile. Koyli and Bihari looked towards Kaka and he nodded his head happily giving them permission. They all held Anirudh's hand and said, "Bondita ko thik karnahi abse humari sabse badi makshat hai...aur ish makshat mein hum kamiyab hokeh rahenge...."
