Bondita was moving here and there, trying to clean up the whole of the study room that she created mess of, just to search for an old file she needed for some study purpose. "Phir tufaan macha diya tumnein idhar?" Aniruddh said, while entering the room. It wasn't the first time she created havoc out of the study room. "Sorry Pati Babu." She quickly apologized but still kept on moving from one desk to the shelf, so on and so forth. Just then Aniruddh noticed Bondita's blouse was torn from the side of the shoulders. He could see some mark of an old injury. "Bondita ruko!" He said, startling her. "Kya hua? Main sab theek kar dungi. Aap chinta mat kijiye." She said. He neared her, turned her around and took a complete look at the injury mark. "Ye kis cheez ka ghav hai?" He asked. "Oh. Yeh toh bahut purana nishaan hai." Bondita said, with a smile, that hid plethora of pain and sadness. "Kaise laga? Aur tumnein mujhe bataya kyun nahi?" Aniruddh asked. "Batane Jaisi koi baat nahi thi. Chodiye, kuch khaas nahi tha, bachpan mein mere bistar gila karne ki aadat ko theek karne ke liye Kaka ek taabeez laaye the. Woh kaafi din tak ek jagah chubhne se ghav sa ban gaya aur nishaan chod gaya. Bachpan ke ghav zyda gehre hote hain na. Main kapde badal ke aati hoon phir ye sab theek kar dungi, Shotti." Bondita said, with a smile, trying to supress that whole memory of her childhood that she wanted to forget, but at times fails so miserably. She went away, leaving Aniruddh thinking, thinking of lot of things he could have done a better way. Kuch ghav gehra asar chod jaate hain.....
