Anirudh went to his room. He saw Bondita sitting near the window and crying. He slowly went near her and sat beside her. Bondita didn't turn towards him and continued sobbing.
"Bondita " Anirudh called slowly in a low tone
"Mujhe baat nehi karni apse... katti hain..."
"Chalo dosti kar lete hain..." Anirudh forwarded his thumb
Bondita angrily looked at his finger and thengot up and sat on her bed.
"Bondita... " Anirudh's tone turned a bit strict
She felt a little frightened but carried on her abhiman
"Bondita.... tum abhi bohat choti ho... kuch chize tum samach nehi payogi... maine tumhain isliye roka keuki ... keuki woh batain aise nehi kahi ja sakti..."
"Keu nehi... keu nehi kahi ja sakti... aap hi to bolte ho ki sach bolna chahiye chahe woh kitni hi karwi ho..."
"Aur tum sach nehi janti ho... aur main abhi tumhain woh sach samjhaunga bhi nehi keu ki tum bohat choti ho... "
Bondita looked at him "main bacchi dikhti hu perujhe sab samach ata hain..."
"Sab bacche hi aisa kehte hain ki use sab samach ata hain... per asalmain use samach nehi ata... keuki samachne ke liye bara hona... chizo ko dekhna samachna zaruri hain.. aur tumhari abhi woh sab dekhne samachne ki umar mehi hui hain.."
Anirudh left the room....
Bondita looked at the door
Anirudh went to the balcony and looked at the tree outside.
"Sab bacche hi aisa kehte hain ki usko sab samach ata hain" Anirudh smiled at himself "ha .. wahi.. maine bhi socha tha ki mujhe sab samach ata hain... per asalmain mujhe kuch samach nehi ata... galtiya.. galtiyo ke upar galtiya kiya geya maine... aur bhugta kaun.. Bondita.. meri waje se bhgta woh.. per fer bhi biswas na hari... kitne biswas ke sath bhag ayi mere pass... nehi.. aur main glatiya nehi kar sakta... mujhe samach na hoga.. mujhe her sidhant durdarsita ke sath lena hoga.. Bondita choti hain.... woh meri zimedari hain.. mere bina woh abhi nehi chal sakti.. aj maine use neyi duniya main le ayi hu... meri zimedari hain usko samhalna.. uski acche bure ka kheyal rakhna.. main girzimedar nehi ban sakta... main aur bachpana karke bacchi ka bachpan nehi barbad kar sakta..."
Bondita came and stood behind him. The gentle breeze was making Anirudh's hair dance in its rhythm.
"Patibabu ap naraz ho?"
Anirudh turned back..
Bondita hold her ears "Sorry... main aur apki bato ka abadhya nehi karungi... sotti.. acchi bacchi ki tarah her baat manungi..."
Anirudh smiled and knelt down before her and unholded her ears..."Nehi Bondita main hamesa sahi nehi hota.. kabhi kabhi galat bhi hota hu.. tum mujhe sudhar dena... per jab tumhain kuch mana kiya jai to pehle samachna ki keu tumhain mana kiya ja raha hain... har jaiga jid accha nehi... samjhi?"
Bondita nodded her head....... but actually she understood nothing....
Trilochan called Maity....
"Suno Maity yeh sandesha Anirudh ko deke ayo... aur bolna ki uska ana abashak hain nehi to hum uska paratha bana denge... na bola to uthake leke ayenge use..."
"Ji bare malik..."
In Calcutta
On the way to court
"Suno Anirudh tumhare ghar se sandesha ayega to tum Bondita ko leke Tulsipur chale jana..." instructed Banerjee
"Per Sir main keu..."
"Anirudh " scolded Banerjee "barrister ho barrister ki tarah socho... samne wale ke sath khelna sikho.. direct yudh main mat jao..."
The words went tangent over Anirudh's head..
"Matlab sir?"
"Uff ish bacche ka keya karu " Banerjee rested his back on the car seat... "dekho Anirudh tumhain aisa karna hain ki .... ek natak karna hain.. jaise tum normally geye ho Tulsipur... tumhari dusri patni ki sradh main.."
"Per sir woh meri patni nehi thi...."
"Ha to waha jake chillake bol dena ... woh meri patni nehi thi.. police ake tumhe utha le jaigi fer fasi de degi... THE END " Banerjee sighed and moved his face away..
Anirudh stared at him shyly
"Sorry sir.. asalmain..."
"Anirudh tum thoda apna satyabachan kam karke meri baat suno.. aur samjho... jhoot nehi bola tumnain Bondita se... us bacchi ka dil nehi toda? Fer itna sach bolne ka janun keu sawar hain.."
Anirudh lowered his head and gulped all the scoldings..
"Dekho Anirudh you'll have to act smart enough... tum jaoge... sari rasmain karoge... police ayegi... sabud dekhaigi tim thukra doge .. you should not be afaid while speaking the lie... jhoot tumhain bolna hi hoga... yeh baat sab samach jayenge ki tum jhoot bol rahe ho keuki saboot strong hain but ferbhi confidently jhoot bolte jana... that'll be to our advantage... police tumhain arrest karenge... case main larunga... Trilochan babu se keh dena yeh baat... yeh baat kisiko na pata chale ki hum sab pehle se jante the aur sab planned hain... Bondita ne sab baat nehi suni.. yeh ek aur acchi baat hain"
"Yes sir.... per sir isse yeh sabud nehi ho jaiga keya ki Manorama sachmain meri patni thi?"
"Tumhain apna character bachana hain ya apni jaan bachani hain? Character ki baat gondogol pakane se pehle sochni chahiye thi tumhain... aur jaise bhi sam samach hi jayenge sab baas barristari arguement ki waje se bach jaoge.. police ke suspect list main rahoge tum... soch samachkar chalna hoga tumhain ab..."
Anirudh's face became red with shame
