Hey guys, I couldn't help myself to write on current track. It's not a warzone so if anyone have any problem with this I do apologize and please ignore.
Ani was cycling like anything. He has now only one person and only one thing in his mind now his Bondita and concern for her. He was hell worried for her and ofcourse was guilty and broken that he didn’t trust his Bondita. The girl who never lies, the girl who never afraid to defense herself or say anything, the girl who was bore all those things for her loved ones, the girl who has so much respect for him that she obeyed his order and left without questioning as he told her to leave. The girl who was already punishing herself for lying to him.
He was just thinking how could be he so dumb that he didn’t trust her, didn’t bother to listen to her patiently, tried to know the actual reason why she did all these things. He thought only about himself, his trust and nothing for a while. Though he was not wrong fully as he trusted Bon so much and breaking of this trust made him numb. He was so broken that he couldn’t think properly and when the mere thought of Bondita leaving him shattered him and he couldn’t think more.
But deep down he felt it was he only who declared her culprit without trying to know the other side of the story, without a second thought he took a big decision. He even forgot that Bon is a child, he forgot the place where he asked her to go people once tried to burn her alive, he forgot that her Mama-Mami are evil who wanted to marry off Bondita with the old man, he forgot that her mother is a meek and helpless women who is already living a pathetic life in pressure of society.
Whatever it be he now wanted to take her Bondita back as soon as possible and apologize to her.
Scene 2:
Bondita was crying hard and repeating mere patibabu ayenge mujhe lene mere rakshak babu ayenge mujhe bachane, tumlog jo v kar rahe ho mere sath wo tumhe saza denge iski and was praying to Dugga Maa to send her Patibabu to help her.
Inhuman villagers were throwing mud and dust on her and yelling at her to leave the village. Sumati was locked in the room by that inhuman greedy Mama-Mami.
A villager pushed Bondita when she reached border of her village. She was about to fall when someone held her.
And it was none other than her Rakshak Babu, yeah it was her Patibabu. Dugga Maa finally send him to be a shield for her as always.
Ani who was already shattered collapsed seeing Bon's condition and knowingly or unknowingly he was somewhere responsible for this. He was feeling more vulnerable. He sat down on his knees and tears started rolling down his cheeks. Bon was also broken she became so emotional seeing her patibabu and hugged him tight (as she hugged Sumati when villagers thew her out at the time of haldi). Ani was feeling helpless guilty and what not. He was so shattered and he hugged her back ( ofcourse not in a creepy way). It was a emotional hug to console her.
“Patibabu aap aa gaye. Mujhe pata tha aap zarur ayenge. Dekhiye na kya kar rahe sab mere sath. Sab mujhe kehte hai mar jao, sab mujh par kichad fenkte hai, sab kehte hai ki mai chodi huyi aurat hoon isliye apshakuni hoon. Kal sabne mujhe rassi se bandh kar gobar fenka kachra fenka aur has rahe the. Mai haldi me gayi to mujhe dhakka deke fek diya bahar aur aaj gaon se bahar kar rahe aise.” She managed to say in between her sobs and cried more hugging him.
“H…Ha…Haan Bondita mai aa gaya hoon tumhe lene. Ab koi kuch nhi kar payega tumhare sath. Mai aa gaya hoon nah. Ghabrane ki koi zarurat nhi.” He said while crying with his broken voice.
And broke the hug and wiped her tears and also Bon's face and hands with his handkerchief and his eyes were still brimmed with tears and Ani stood to face the villagers with fire in his eyes and villagers who were mute spectator till now started to voice.
“Bahar fenkne do hame is ladki ko. Kaun ho tum. Hato yaha se. Ye chodi huyi aurat hai. Ise ham apne gaon me nhi rehne denge.”
“Mai iska pati hoon. Aur agar himmat hai kisi me to age badh ke hath lagake dikhao meri Bondita ko.” He yelled at top of his lungs.
Villagers went silent for a minute. Then one of the villagers said “Acha aap uske pati hai to aap use le ja sakte hai. Aur agar apne dobara ise choda to yaha mat bhejiye kahi kisi kuye me doob marne ke liye kahiye. Ham aisi chodi huyi aurat ko nhi rakhenge yaha iske haath ka to pani v zeher hoga hamare liye.”
Ani was shocked hearing this would be an understatement. He thought how could they say like this. What sin did she commit that they are saying this.
“Sharam nhi ati apko aisa kehte huye. Agar Bondita ki jagah apki beti hoti to v yehi bolte aap. Aur aisa kaun sa paap hua hai Bondita se jo use aisi saza mile. Insaaniyat naam ki chij v hai ya nahi aap logon me.” Yelled Ani.
“Are koi paap Kiya hoga tabhi to apne ise ghar se nikala nah. Aur wajah chahe jo ho, mard chahe jo kar sakta hai aurat ka kaam hai kaise v uske hath paon pad ke usi ke ghar me padi rahe chahe jo v ho jaye. Aur fir v agar mard use nikal deta hai to koi jagah nhi aisi asubh ladkiyon ke liye doob mare kahi.”
“Doob marna to aplogo ko chahiye chullu bhar pani me. Ek aurat ke sath itna atyachaar sirf isliye ki pati ne chod diya use. Isme galati pati ki v ho sakti hai. Aur kya aapne mard jo chahe kar sakta hai. Agar mard jo chahe kar sakta hai to aurat v kar sakti hai. Bhagwan ne admi aurat ko banane me fark nhi kiya to aap kaun hote hai karnewale aur aap hai kaun kisi aurat ko saza sunane wale. Band kijiye ye shoshan aurato ka aur aise hi mard ko kuch v karne ki khuli choot. Ye kaha ka nyaay hai admi galati kare aur saza aurat ko mile. Agar chodi huyi aurat ko jeene ka adhikaar nhi to chode huye mard ko v nhi.”
“Ye ap kya keh rahe hai. Apki patni v yahi bol rahi thi aur ab aap v. Bhala koi Mel hai admi aur aurat ka, kaise barabari kar sakti hai aurate admi ka.” Said another villager.
“Kyun auratein v to Insaan hoti hai nah. Unka v to man hota hai na aur dukh pahuchta hai kisi ki baat ka. Sadi to admi aur aurat dono ki hoti hai to chodne par saza kisi ek ko kyun?” said Bondita still with tears in her eyes.
Ani looked at Bondita proudly. This is his Bondita who thinks the same way as he thinks.
“Sun liya na apne kya kaha Bondita ne. Hai koi jawaab iska apke pas? Nahi nah. Bas apko purane reeti riwazon aur paramparaon ke naam par aurato pe zulm dhane hai apko. Sharam nhi ayi apko is masoom ke sath aisa karte huye. Hath nhi kaanpe apke. Agar Bondita ki jagah apki beti hoti to kaisa lagta apko. (Villagers were standing ashamed) Bataiye na sir jhukaye kyun khade hai.”
During this a villager said, “Bas bas rehne dijiye aap. Apko to bas badi badi baatein karni ati hai. Us din bade bade daawe kiye the nah ki chhaya to bas roshni me sath deti hai mai Anirudh Roy Chaudhary andhakar me v iska saath dunga par nhi de paye nah manjhdar me chod diya na ise. Aur ab hame sikha rahe. Hamne zamana dekha hai kehne aur karne me bahut fark hota hai and chodi huyi aurat ka kaun hota hai is duniya me. Mayke se to ladkiya sadi ke baad hi parayi ho jati hai aur pati v sath chod de to kiske liye jiyegi ye.”
Ani was ashamed that he couldn’t fulfill his promise and that lead Bon to hell. He thought “Baba was right I saved Bondita from this hell and send her to the same hell again. But from now on I'll never leave Bondita. I won’t let her go anywhere alone.”
“Kisi aur ke liye kyun jiyegi ye, ye apne liye jiyegi aur ha galati huyi hai mujhse aur mai use sudharunga. Mai apna vaada nibhaunga. Aur haan mai itni asani se apko chodunga nhi. Apko jail bhijwaunga taki aplogo ko saza mile is gunah ki. Ghinna ati hai aplogo kisoch par.” Anirudh said and started going with Bondita.
Bondita informed Ani that Sumati is locked in room and she wanted to meet her before leaving her. Ani too wanted to meet her. After apologizing to Sumati Ani left the place with Bondita.
They were returning home by a bullock cart. When returning Tulsipur Bon was sitting silently and she was sad. Ani looked at her and cursing himself for what he did. His impulsive decision can cost Bondita this much he never thought.
The silence of Bondita was killing him from inside, the sadness on her face breaking his heart into thousand pieces. He was determined that he'll do anything to get his chirpy Bondita back.

P.S.- Please don't take the hug in wrong way. As the hug is between husband and wife doesn't mean it's creepy or romantic. We hug our closed one whenever we are so vulnerable.
