Randhir was initially nervous, he had to talk about a painful part of his past. It is going to be difficult but he has to do it. With this thought he entered bondita's room. At first he thought that bondita won't talk much as from yesterday only she has been doing it. One moment she will be joking and laughing and then suddenly she will cover half of her face with pallu and stop talking and just moving her head for saying yes or no. He thought it to be weird but when anirudh explained everything to him he understood that bondita was suppressing her carefree and jovial nature as an ideal wife doesn't open her mouth to much and always looks down, that was what society made them do.
But now when he was talking to her he figured out that she is a chatterbox. She loves to talk and joke around. And while doing so she nearly forgot about being an ideal wife. There was a common topic between them and that was Anirudh. He was telling her how he met him and their days at Kings University and she was telling him how he is his sikshak babu to rakshak babu to rakshas babu at times. They were having a great time bonding and randhir somewhere saw his little sister, his kirna in bondita. And that was when bondita asked him about kirna.
"Chotti bhen thi meri. Kirna naam tha uska. Badi pyaari aur utni hi sharati thi. Pata hai usko na khana khane ka kafi shounk tha. Jab dekho bebe aaj yeh bana lo voh bana lo. Mujhe padhta dekh kar usse bhi padhai mei interest padh gya, toh bebe bapuji si ladh ke maine uski admission karvai thi school mei. Phele mushkil aai kafi par badi bahadur thi meri chotti, har mushkil ka samna datt ke kiya usne. Sab aacha ja rha tha humari zindagi mei fir.."
"Fir?" Bondita asked, wanting to no more about kirna, who appeared to be her long lost sister.
"Fir mera school khatam hua aur aage ki padhai ki baat shuru. Mujhe barrister ban na tha toh bol diya ghar pe, aur london jane ka decision bhi le liya gya. Mere bebe bapuji ko chod ke ghar mei kirna ke school jane se koi kush nhi tha. Aur mujhe pata tha ki agar main london gya toh kirna ka school bandh ho jaega. Maine mana kiya par mere taya ji ne bapuji ko aisa pata nhi kya batya ki voh apne decision par adh gye. Fir mujhse vada kiya ki kirna ki padhai ko nhi rokenge toh tab jake main london jane ko maana. Aur yhi meri galti thi."
"Galti kaise?" Randhir looked at bondita who was now very much interested to know what happens now.
"Main toh chala gya yeh soch ke ki meri bhen sukhi rahegi par main yeh bhul gya ki apne bhi kabhi kabhi dhoka de jate hai. 2nd year ke akhri mahino mei ik chitti aai kirna se. Usmei likha tha ki ghar wale uske liye rishta dhund rhe hai. Boudi 12 saal ki thi meri bhen aur uski shadi karvana chahte thee. Maine fauran hi ghar pe phone kiya toh bolte ki mazak tha abhi kaha shadi karvaenge sirf muklava hoga."
"Muklava?"
"Muklava matla shadi ho jaegi par kirna jab tak badi nhi ho jati yani 17-18 saal ki tab tak bebe bapu ke saath rahegi."
"Par hui toh shadi hi na? Yeh toh bal vivaah ho gya. Fir aapne kya kiya dada?"
"Maine khub samjhya ki mat akro usse padhe so abhi, padh likh kar kuch ban ne doh, likhne ka kafi shonk tha usse toh maine socha tha aage jakar kuch kar legi voh par mere apne hi meri bhen ki zindagi barbaad kar rhe thee. Pata hai boudi phele mujhe bhi lagta tha ki shadi ke baad ladkio ko ghar sambhlna chahiye par jab london gya vaha ki aurto ko kaam karte hue dekha tab laga ki humari desh ki aurtein peeche kyu rahe. Tabhi soch liya tha ki vapis jakar kirna ki madad karunga, usse kuch banunga."
"Yeh toh kafi aacha socha aapne dada."
"Sab soch mei hi rhe gya par boudi. 3rd year mei ik chitti aai jismei likha tha ki kirna ki shadi tay kar di hai kisi dusre gao ke ladke se joh uss se umar mei 6 saal bada hai. Main shocjk ho gya tha yeh dekh kar. Uss samay maine ghar call kiya kirna se baat ki, usse bola ki uske veerji abhi ke abhi vapis aa jenge par voh boli ki mere chakar mei apne exam miss mat karo. Khub mana ne ki koshish ki maine toh akhir mei usne apni kasam hi de di. Tut gya tha main bodi, meri bhen ki shadi ho rhi thi aur main kuch nhi kar pa rha tha. Voh toh pretend kar rhi thi ki kush hai par main bhi veer hu uska, pata lag gya tha ki jhoot bol rhi hai voh."
Taking a deep breath he continued,"Main yaha kisi ko bata bhi nhi sakta tha, ani bachpan se yaha hai usse inn sab cheezo ki samaj nhi. Akela sa ho gya tha. Jab kirna ki shadi hui tab maine ghar pe baat karna bandh kar diya. Vhi kaam karke paise kamane laga taki college ki fee de pau. Fir kuch mahino baad shyad saal ke ant mei kirna ki ik aur chitti aati hai. Usmei voh bol rhi thi ki voh shadi mei kush hai, uske pati usse padhne de rhe hai aur sab aacha hai. Usne yeh tak bola ki mei bebe bapuji se baat karu kyuki unki koi galti nhi hai. Aur main pagal uski baato mei aa gya. Yeh soch ke ki voh kush ahi aur padh rhi hai maine bhi zyada gaur nhi kiya aur apni zindagi jeene laga. Bebe bapu se baat bhi karni shuru kar di."
"Par aapko kaise pata voh jhoot bol rhi thi? Kya pata voh sach mei kush ho."
"Mujhe bhi yhi laga tha fir 4th year mei bapuji ki chitti aai. Usmei unhone likha tha ki kirna... kirna maa ban ne wali hai." Randhir was trying to control his tears but was not able to. While crying he continued, "Boudi 14 saal ki meri bhen maa ban ne wali thi jabki voh khud ik bachi thi. Main hil gya tha samaj nhi aa rha tha kya karu. Humare exams chal rhe thee bheech mei chod ke bhi nhi ja sakta tha. Itna helpless aaj tak feel nhi kiya hoga maine. Ussi doran meri anirudh se bhi ladai ho gyi, ik iklauta dost bhi kho diya maine. Exams jasie hi khatam hue maine apna aman bandhna shuru kiya. Tab kirna ka call aaya mujhe jise sun kar tut gya tha mei."
Kirna - Sat Shir Akal veerji. Kaise ho aap?
Randhir - Kirna tu.. tu theek hai na meri bhen.
Kirna(while crying) - Veerji main theek nhi hu. Bada dard hota hai, khana bhi nhi milta yaha par. Mujhse kaam bhi nhi ho pata uss wajha se daant te hai yeh log. Kahi bahar nhi jane dete na kuch apni man marzi ka karne dete hai. Aaj bhi aapko call kisi bahne se kiya hai maine.
Randhir - Maaf karde apne veer ko kirna, raksha nhi kar paya teri. Par tu fikar na kar main vapis aa rha hu tab tak hosla rakh. Main aake tujhe vaha se, bebe bapu se dur le jaunga.
Kirna - Jaldi aaio veerji ab aur nhi saha jata mujhse.
"Bas issi phone call ke baad main bharat ke liye nikal gya aur kuch hi dino mei paunch gya. Phele apne ghar nhi kirna ke sasural gya aur vaha jakar pata chal ki late ho gya main."
"Kya matlab dada?" Bondita asked fearing.
"Ghar mei ghussa toh dekha ik sharir padha tha vaha pe safed chadar se dhaka hua. Darte darte chadar hatai aur dekha ki voh meri.. meri kirna thi vaha. Maar diya uss bechari ko. Usne kaha tha uss se saha nhi jata toh baba ji ne uski takleef mita di, bula liya usko apne pass." Randhir finished while crying hardly now.
