AniDita : Spaces Between Us

I know my limits

Anirudh : tumhe ush cafe mein kaam karni ki zarurat nehi. tum shirf padhai karogi. tumhe kalam bhi maine thamaya tha aur tumhe barrister ki degree bhi main hi thamana chahta hu. tum mere sath raho. main tumhari zimmedari lena chahta hu. kiya mujhe dusra mouka dogi?

Bondita freed her hand with a jerk and told clamly.

Bondita : nehi...main apne hardwork se padhna chahti hu. main aab itne atmanirvar baan chuki hu ke apni zimmedari khudh utha saku. Aapne hi to kaha tha majboor nehi majboot bana nah hain mujhe. aaj mein majboot hu majboor nehi shakhababu.

Bondita told. Anirudh felt proud.

Anirudh : par...

Bondita : nehi...meri zimmedari se aap azad hain bas mere guide banke mujhe rasta dikhayega par ush rastei mein chalni ki zimmedari shirf meri.

Bondita told with a smile. Anirudh noded and felt so proud at her that she really becoming what he dreamt for her. Of course she is becoming an inspiration for the other girls of india. He felt happy that years ago he dreamt for a country where there will be no difference between man and women. He gave up on his dreams but Bondita again returned as a new ray of hope. But why he feeling bad when she told he is free from her responsibility?

That moment salim entered and looked at them confusingly.

Bondita : Finally you returned let me go now.

Salim : thankyou for staying Ms..

Bondita : Bondita My name is bondita..

Saying that she started walking. Salim stood in shock if she is the one?

Anirudh : bondita... ruko...suno...

Bondita didn’t listen and left.

Salim : Bondita?  teri bondita? wohi hain kiya?

Anirudh : haan wohi hain...

Salim : sahi kehta tha bohat piyari hain cute si.

Anirudh : hain na? jitni piyari hain utni samajhdar bhi.

Salim : tu kiyu usko leke itna sochta hain uski shadi hochuki hain bhul maat.

Anirudh : nehi salim uski shadi nehi huyi...woh shadiwale din bhag gayi thi.

Salim : but woh yaha ayi kaise itne dur?

Anirudh : kaka ne kaha uski maa aur kaka ki madat se sayad unhone hi bheja hoga. Usne haar nehi mani salim apne sapno pe aur aaj woh yaha hain...I am proud of her.

Salim smiled and put hand on his shoulder.  Anirudh's happiness has no bound. Bondita got busy in her cafe. It was night she stood infront the mirror.

Bondita : bhale hi maine sakhababu ko maaf kardiya par meri zindegi ka kiya? jab India wapas jayungi tab kiya? woh logh mujhe maaf karenge? woh logh samjhenge mujhe? main kabhi azad ho payungi? mere sapno ke liye hi sahi par galat to maine kiya hain. aur uski saza mujhe milegi bhi sayad. par main jaanti hu mere sapne hi mere har pareshaniyon ka haal nikal ke denge. 

Bondita  threw herself on bed and cuddle  hugging pillow. She is trying to sleep for past few days but she couldn’t thinking doesn't know how much in pain Anirudh will be.

Bondita : par main galat to nehi kar rahi hu pura sach na batake? waise bhi meri shadi huyi ho ya nehi unhe kiya hi fadak padhta hain? hu to unki zimmedari hi shirf? waise bhi mujhe kisi se koi umeed nehi rakhna ke koi ayega aur mujhe problems se nikale ga. main akele ladungi jaise in 4 saalon se ladhti ayi hu. abhi khudh bhi positive rehti hu aur dusro ko bhi rehne deti hu.

Anirudh was thinking about bondita.  He looked at his wounded shoulder and smiled.

Anirudh : ushne kaha tha mujhse jab woh badi hojayogi tab mujhe chunegi. par kiya firse woh mujhe chunegi? sayad nehi bhala uski umar ke itne ladke hone ke badh usse badah kisiko kiyu chunegi? par sab jante huye bhi kiyu kisi or ko apni zindegi mein aane ka mouka nehi de pata? kiyu jante huye bhi uske faisle ka intezar hain mujhe? kiyu ek ash hain uski muh se firse patibabu sunne ka?
