Chapter -23
Anuj headed towards him and asked, "What are you doing here Chandrachur Dada?!" "It's none of your business! Shoo away!" "Why?! What's so secretive that you don't want to tell me?!" asked Anuj after which Chandrachur angrily pushed him down and glared at him, "Stay quiet boy! Or I will do something to you that you will later regret!". Anuj just stood behind him as he saw him entering with his suspicious eyes, "Something is not right here! I feel that Chandrachur Dada has something evil in his mind! I-I should go and come back with Shekhar Dada!" he decided after which he ran away.
Bondita kept a bowl of food beside after heating it and suddenly felt someone standing behind her, she turned around to see Chandrachur grinning at her, she got up and asked him as she frowned at him, "What are you doing here Chandrachur Dada?" "Well now you don't need to call me Dada Bondita!" "Why?!" "Because, from today's night I will become your husband!" "What do you mean by this?!" "C'mon Bondita! I know that you understand everything well! If you want to listen from my mouth only then okay! This night I will marry you and take you with me as my wife!" "Well this is not possible" "Why?!" "Because a brother and a sister can never marry each other and I have already considered you as my brother! But looks like you want to be nothing to me!" "How many times do I have to tell you Bondita that I don't consider you as my sister? You have to accept this fact or it will be too late!" replied Chandrachur with a forced smile, "If this was a real fact then also I would have never accepted it for I know who you really are!" replied Bondita coldly which grew Chandrachur impatient, "Don't be so silly Bondita! You don't have your parents with you when you actually need their love! Atleast by marrying me you will be rich, also my parents will love you! Can't you see the advantage?!" "When I already have everything why do I need anything from you?! I have my brother, my sister, my aunt, my grandmother and also my friends Anuj and Birristra Babu! When I have them I don't need anyone else! So I am happy with what I have!" "Why do you not stop yourself from going to that Barrister?! What if he stabs you back?!" "He is not like you, he is a genuine man, not a fake person like you!" "Why do you think this?!" "Because my heart says so!" "I wish your heart said something good about me! I tried my best to kill that Barrister by drowning him but his luck!" "You yourself do a wrong thing and expect to be treated like a God?! You deserve this only!" "Enough! Now you won't say anything! Yes! I am bad! And that's why you have given me no choice rather than forcing you!" he said as he closed the door from behind angrily and headed towards her. Bondita stood still at her place, "I have to save myself anyhow!" she thought as she frowned at him.
"Huh...finally I have finished typing my documents! I should take some break now! What will Bondita be doing now?! I should go to check there if she needs my help or not!" said Anirudh with a smile as he stretched his arms and headed towards her home after arranging his documents aside on his study table.
"Mauri! That man needs two big fish! Quickly give him!" "Yes Dada!" replied Mauri as she filled a bag with the fish, "Shekhar Dada! Mauri!" shouted Anuj as he reached to them and took deep breaths, "Relax yourself Anuj! What happened?! Why do you look in such a hurry?!" "I have to look like that! Ch-Chandrachur Dada went to meet Bondita but I feel his intentions to be malicious! We should go Dada!" "Ok ok! Mauri! Look after the shop! I will return back after sometime!" "No Dada! I will also go with you!" "Then who will look after the shop?!" "For me my Didi is more important than the shop! We have to quickly reach there!" said Mauri after which three of them nodded and ran towards their house.
Just as Anirudh reached near the pond he spotted Bondita's siblings and friend running towards her home, "Why do they look in such a hurry?! Did anything happen to Bondita?! I should follow them!" decided Anirudh after which he ran behind them and asked, "Why you three are looking so worried?!" "Oh! Bondita's Birristra Babu! We also need your help!" "Okay but what happened?!" "Bondita is surely in danger as Chandrachur has entered her house with malicious intentions!" replied Anuj which grew a dangerous fire in Anirudh's eyes resulting him to run even faster, "THAT CHANDRACHUR!!! BONDITA I AM COMING TO YOU!!!".
"Don't come near me or this will cost you a lot!" said Bondita as she looked at him with cold expression, "Oh! You will glare at me now?! Don't worry! I have made myself stronger for that! Your glares won't work upon me!" replied Chandrachur with a smirk as he continued to approach her. Bondita quickly looked around and noticed a knife lying on the floor, she quickly bent to pick it up and pointed it towards him while maintaining her cold expression, "I am warning you again! Leave from here or you will regret it!" "I have longed for you so much Bondita, now I won't leave you! Now you will always be mine!" he said as he grabbed her fists tightly with a smirk, "No one will be able to help you as they fear my father! Also my father is with me so no way!". Bondita closed her eyes and clenched her fists tightly as if a certain strength was building inside her and just as she opened her eyes she twisted her hands vigorously making them free from his grip. She harshly stamped his feet making him wince in pain, "AAH!" he shouted after which he lost his balance and fell on the ground. Just as Bondita tried to pass by him he grabbed her foot and said, "I won't let you go! I won't!". This grew Bondita more angry and she stabbed his wrist hard after which she got free from him yet again and opened the door, she pulled him outside by his back collar and pushed him on the ground as she kept her foot on his chest, "Never mistake me to be weak! I do look soft but only from outside!" she replied as she gave him death glares which were more scarier than before.
Anirudh reached the place and witnessed everything, "Bondita..." he murmured as he was left amazed yet again, he quickly smiled and clapped for her. Bondita noticed him clapping and left Chandrachur lying on the ground, "What are you doing here Birristra Babu?" she asked him in a normal tone, "As I was coming to see if you were okay I met your siblings and friend in between, they told me that you were in trouble that's why I reached here quickly! But seems like you don't need anyone else to protect you! You are really strong!" "Hmm" replied Bondita leaving Anirudh confused, "Doesn't Bondita like appreciation?", he thought.
"Bondita Didi!!" shouted Mauri as she came running with Shekhar and Anuj, "Are you okay Bondita?" "I told you to lock the door from inside! Why didn't you do it?!" asked Shekhar sternly, "I didn't want to, I would have felt suffocated Dada!" replied Bondita as she pouted, "But the windows were left open!" "The smoke was escaping out of the windows so do you think the fresh air could enter from those?! That's why I kept the door open!" replied Bondita to which Shekhar facepalmed leaving Anirudh chuckled. They turned around and couldn't find Chandrachur, "He ran away!" "That coward!" shouted Mauri as she laughed, "Hmm, but he will surely return with his guards!" replied Bondita seriously, "You are right Bondita!" replied Chandrachur which made them turn towards him.
They saw his wrist bandaged and his guards standing beside him, his father was also standing beside him, "Maa, why did you hurt Chandrachur? He was just trying to help you" "No Kaka! He entered my house without my permission and when I denied to marry him he tried to force me! That's why I hurt him!" "But why Maa? You have no parents with you so won't this be good if you marry him and live with us? We will also treat you like a Queen!" "Sorry Kaka! But I don't want to marry a scoundrel like him!" "Please agree to this marriage Maa! Or he will give his life!" "I don't care! If he wants to die then let him! Atleast people will get saved from this scoundrel!" "You are a grown up but still you don't understand that child marriage is wrong?!" asked Anirudh as he frowned at him, "What's wrong with child marriage?! Everyone here follows that and I just want good for her!" "You can do good for her by keeping your son away from him! He is the biggest danger for her! Bondita won't marry anyone!" "Now I am losing my patience! Maa! You have to marry my son!" "No I won't!" shouted Bondita as Anirudh held her hand tightly and they stepped back, "Hold her!" ordered Chandrachur's father after which his guards headed towards them, "Stop there only!" shouted a voice which made the guards stop at their places and everyone turned to see an old lady and many villagers behind her who were holding flame torches in their hands.
