Part - 1
They had to get separated once again only this time against their wishes. It was a separation just for the sake of the society. Just to set an example and to save lives of many unknown girls who are suffering in the name of meare customs, they had to put their relation at stake. They both were proud of each other's decision but deep down they both were in pain. Their heart was crying by the thought of the life ahead, a life without each other.
It was last night of Bondita in the Roy Choudhury Mansion. The next morning she had to go to her mother who now was in her paternal home and after living their for 1 week she was all set to leave for Dalhousie and this time on her own wish. She didn't even knew when was she going to return to this home. She was not sure too that she will ever return here or not. The place that was her everything, her home, her family and leaving them was getting tough for her.
Nobody in the Roy Choudhury Mansion ate dinner that night. Everyone were in their room, gloomy because they knew from the next day the cheerful Roy Choudhury Mansion won't be the same because the heart of the house was leaving them and this time forever.
After doing the packing Bondita headed out of her room to cherish in the memories. Every corner of the house held for her stories that she was going to carry in her heart forever. But the dreadful silence of the mansion was killing her. It felt as if it too was mourning her departure like all other members.
And sighing sadly Bondita moved towards the room of her kaka sasurji. She knew he won't be sleeping and she was right kaka was crying holding the picture of her and her patibabu. Wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes Bondita moved towards him. And seeing her he looked at her with pleading eyes that told "mat jao naa bahu..tumhare bina kya hoga is ghar ka??" but Bondita's gaze told she won't stop this time breaking his last hope. But she sat next to him and held his hand with her tiny fingers and continued, "kaka saaurji agar aap ese royenge to baki sab ka kya hoga..apko pata hai naa maine aur patibabu ne ye faisla kyu liya hai..is parivaar k izzat aur patibabu k samman par kabhi aanch ane degi kya apki samjhdaar Bondita??" Kaka smiled at her and keeping his hand on her head said,"sach mein tum hi ho is ghar ki laxmi..jahan bhi jao khub tarakki karo aur haan ab Barrister Babu ban k hi is Roy Choudhury Haveli mein wapas ana.. mein toh Dugga mein se yehi dua mangunga k woh mujhe mauka de tumhe phir se dulhan bana kar is haveli mein lane ko.." and Bondita nothing more to say just smiled at him. Then he got up and moved towards his wardrobe and brought a red pouch and handing it to Bondita asked her to open it. She opened the thread only to find two beautiful bangles, the designs were old but looked marvelous and the bangles hadn't lost a bit of its lustre. But they were a little big and Bondita knew it won't fit her. And seeing her confusion he continued, "pata hai bahu ye kangan Anirudh k dadimaa ki hai yani humare maa ki..janta hun bade hain tumhare kalaai kliye isliye diya nehi tumhe par rakhe toh maine sambhal k tumhare liye hi tha aur ab jab tum ja rahi ho toh socha tumhe de dun." And when Bondita was about to deny taking it kaka continued,"ye mat sochna ki tumhare kaka saaurji tumhe ye de rahe hain..ye tumhare kaka ki taraf se hai..bahu raho ya na raho par tum toh humesha meri beti rahogi.."
And with this Bondita took the pouch and taking his blessings came out of his room wiping the tears from her eyes but she didn't stopped to look back because she couldn't bear to see her dear kaka who was always her strength breaking down.
It was getting difficult for Bondita than she had imagined but masking a smile on her face she moved towards the room of her two devars thinking if they had slept or not but on peeping in their room she found Som dada consoling a crying Batuk and worried she headed inside calling his name. They both were surprised to see her but ignoring their faces Bondita went to them and asked, "kya hua Batuk tu ro kyu raha hai??" and still crying Batuk said, "aap mat jao na Boudi.. please" Bondita too felt the tears coming out of her eyes but controlling them she said, "Batuk tumhe pata hai naa Barrister k sath sath tumhare dada ka ek aur sapna bhi hai, is samaj ki soch ko badalna.. aur aaj jab unhe ye mauka mil raha hai to woh piche kaise hat sakte hain..haan agar mein talak kliye mana kar deti to tumhare dada ruk jate par unka ye sapna toh adhura reh jata naa..toh isliye humne ye faisla humare liye nehi balki is samaj kliye liye hai.." Batuk looked at her boudi and so did Som and their eyes held pride. They knew Bondita was sad too.. They were all losing her but she, her everything but still this girl stood strong. And this time Som too said with teary eyes,"pata hai boudi maine kabhi kaha nehi hai apko lekin aap sabse best boudi hai aur aap se achi boudi mujhe kabhi mil hi nehi sakti thi.." and the trio shared a group hug with tears brimming their eyes.
When she was about to leave som called her from behind and when she she turned she found him moving towards his table and then he brought a beautiful diary and gave it to her saying,"bahut chota tha mein boudi jab baba k sath ek baar baajar gaya tha aur ye diary mujhe pasand ayi toh zid krke kharid liya..par itne saal se ye esi hai kyuki mujhe kuch khaas nehi mila isme likhne ko aur ab samajh main a raha hai kyu..isme meri likhai nehi apki likhai honi chahiye..Apne dada ki taraf se ye chota sa tofa rakh lijiye boudi.." and Bondita smiled taking the diary. She was not going to carry just the memories but the token of their love too.
Moving out she gazed the door of her sasurji and with a little hesitation she moved towards the room and knocked slightly. She waited and knocked again and when nobody opened she was about to leave when her sasurji opened the door and on finding Bondita looked at her surprised. And seeing his expression Bondita continued with a little scared expression, "wo.. wo sa..sasurji mein kaal jane wali hun na isliye sabse akhri baar mil rahi thi toh socha aapse bhi ashirwaad le lun.." and on hearing this Binoy softened a little. No matter what, deep down in his heart he knew the happiness of his family, his son, lies in her and she is the one who had always tied the family. He nodded his head. And then she said slowly,"wo Sampoorna didi matlab Sampoorna maa.." and that's when Binoy realised she was standing outside his room and thus called her inside. Sampoorna too looked surprised seeing Bondita but smirked and said,"acha toh akhrii baar milne ayi hai tu..achi baat hai ab toh tu humesha kliye ja rahi hai aur kabhi lout k bhi nehi ayegi..mein toh bahut khus hun... mera kehene ka matlab hai mere bete aur bahu duniya kliye ek mishaal banenge naa isliye" and Bondita looked at her sadly and Binoy too giving her a disgusting expression adjusted his specs. But Bondita knew today she can't be silent and thus giving Sampoorna a sarcastic smile said, "mishal toh aap bhi ban sakti thi par apne toh apni sapno ki aage in paison ko chuna..ye samaj bidhwa ko kbhi koi adhikaar nehi diya hai..nahi jine ka aur nahi kuch karne ka.. Paar patibabu ne apke sapne pure karne ki koshish ki thi jo Sourabh jamai babu ki akhri khwaish thi par aapne kya kiya apki sapne apki icha ko kurbaan karke in ayesh aur araam ki zindegi chun li.. tu toh itne niche gir gayi didi k sourabh jamai babu ka pyar, unki akhri khwaish koi maine nehii rakha tere liye.. patibabu aur mein toh juda ho k bhi sabke liye mishal ban rahe hai aur ye sab hum apne liye nehi ek dusre k sapne pure karne kliye kar rahe hain..are tu samjhegi bhi nehi k aaj patibabu se juda hoke dard nehi balki garv mehesus ho raha hai mujhe.. mere naam se Roy Choudhury hat raha hai to kya hua, hum toh abhi bhi dil se jude hain.. Mein toh kehe rahi hun acha hua jo Sourabh jamai babu is dunia mein nehi hai warna ye sab woh sehen nehi kar paate..jo insaan apke liye apne ghar walon ko chodne ko tayar the apne unke sapne ko kuchal kar ye zindagi chuni hai.. woh ek sangeetkar Sampoorna ko dekhna chahte the par apne toh tijhori ki chabi ko apna lakshya bana diya..dhikaar hai aap par didi.. Jo apne pati ka na ho saka woh is ghar k kya hoga.. Kash aap meri pehele wali Sampoorna didi hoti jo meri gile bistar dhone ko bhi nehi katrati thi..par meri mahavari k samay par jab mujhe apki sabse jyada zarurat thi apne toh mujhe andhakar mein dhakel diya..Kher in sab baton ka ab koi mahatwa hi nehi hai mein chalti hun.." And when she was about to leave she turned and looking at her expressionless face touched her feet and said once again, "Baas zindegi mein ek absoos zarur rehe jayegi..Sampoorna maa ki toh ashirvaad leli maine par kaash mein meri sampoorna didi ko gale lagakar alvida kehe pati.."
And turning her face she went to Binoy who was looking at her teary eyed and she touched his feet and perhaps the first time he blessed her whole heartedly, keeping his hand on her head he said proudly," apne lakshya mein safal ho..aur Anirudh se v acha barrister bano.." Bondita smiled and with tears in her eyes ran out of the room.
But she didn't went to her room, wiping her tears she headed to her final destination, the study not just to meet him but to share his pain. She knocked on the door many times and irritated when Anirudh opened the door to scold the person he was surprised to see Bondita, not expecting her at this hour and called her inside closing the door behind him. But hiding all his expressions he questioned her, "itna raat ko na so kar yahan kya kar rahi ho bondita" but instead of answering she snapped him back, "aap bhi toh nehi soye hain patibabu" and avoiding her gaze he said,"haan wo wo mein kuch kaam kar taha tha..par tum kisliye ayi ho??kuch kaam tha??" And Bondita asked him again, "apne pati se milne kliye koi wajah chahiye hota hai kya patibabu baas kaam hone par aungi.. mein yuhin nehi a sakti apne patibabu se milne" and with this she sat on the sofa with puffed cheeks and smiling Anirudh too sat next to her, his heart skipping beats with her answer. And holding her hands he said,"Mein toh baas majak kar raha tha Bondita..tumhara jab bhi maan kar tum mujhse milne asakti ho.. Bondita Roy Choudhury ki seva mein Anirudh Roy Choudhury humesha hazir ho jayega" and Bondita laughed hearing his words but then looked at him and her heart knew what he told was false..now she can't come any time to meet him, to disturb him, to irritate him and to help him.. this is going to be the last night of them in the study and now she couldn't stop her tears, holding his hands she cried her heart out and Anirudh too failed to wipe his own tears. Now the mask they were wearing from days was gone. Anirudh engulfed Bondita in a hug and her tears soaked his shirt and his her hairs, one last time. But only this time they didn't wipe each other's tears but let it flow.
They didn't spoke anything because they didn't had words to say. They both just wanted to stay beside each other. Words were not needed as their presence was enough. And they both didn't knew when crying in each other's arm they had slept in the very position. It was only midnight when Anirudh's sleep broke and taking in the surrounding he understood they both had slept there itself but when he was about to wake up Bondita, his heart stopped him and instead he tightened his hold on her and kissing her hairs slept keeping his head on her hairs as tears made their ways out of his eyes again.
The morning sun rays broke Bondita's slumber and she was astonished on finding herself sleeping hugging her patibabu but then reality struk her and she realised, she has to prepare to leave soon. And without disturbing his sleep she came out of the study and moved towards her room to get ready for the day.
Bondita did her last arti in the mansion, she looked like a new bride decked in a red banarasi saree with all those jewelleries and Anirudh's eyes too lingered on her more than usual.
The Roy Choudhurys sat for their last breakfast with Bondita. But nobody was happy. And just when they completed the breakfast, reached the Bramho Samaj people to take the sign of the couple on the divorce papers. It was Anirudh who signed first and then Bondita and thats when she started removing her bangles and wiped the red dot on her forehead..the sign of her marriage, blurring Anirudh's vision. And not being able to take it anymore Anirudh went to study and Bondita too ran to her room. And all the Roy Choudhury men just gazed at their retreating figures with helpless expressions.
It would be just half an hour or so when Anirudh felt a knock at the study and looking up he found Bondita but seeing her, his eyes tightened. She was not clad in the gorgeous banarasi saree anymore but was draped in a simple cotton saree, the heavy bangles, necklaces and earrings that adorned her few moments back were replaced by all simple accessories. The red big dot between her eyebrows too was gone and so was the red smudge on her hair partition and when she moved towards him he noticed, the sound of her anklets too can't be heard and not being able to see her like this he turned his face away from her but ignoring his changed expressions she went on to say, "pati... Mere matlab hai barrister babu woh main taiyar hun toh chaliye hume nikalna chahiye" And he just nodded his head with her statement as barrister babu instead of patibabu already stole his ability to speak.
The couple left the mansion with all members controlling their tears. Biding goodbye to Bondita was difficult for all but suppressing their sadness they had masked a smile which soon replaced by glassy eyes as soon as the car departed from the Roy Choudhury Mansion.
The journey in the car too was silent as both were engrossed in deep thoughts. And soon they reached the place. And Anirudh dropping Bondita, took Sumati's and others blessings left abruptly sighting some work but Bondita knew he still needed time to face her mother and thus she didn't stop him.
Soon 7 days was over and Bondita too made her maa understood the seriousness of the situation whose anger melted and she felt bad for her daughter and Jamai who had to go through so much just to bring a new reform.
As informed earlier Anirudh reached the mansion to take Bondita to Dalhousie. Bondita hugged her maa in tears and Anirudh looked at them with softening expression. And then Sumati went to him and keeping her hands on his head said, "Jamai na rahe toh kya hua aap humesha mere bete rahenge.. Is maa ko kabhi bhul mat jana" and Anirudh nodded with teary eyes and and bend to take her blessings. And then they both sat in the car and moved towards their destination.
Anirudh completed all the formalities in the school and dropped her in the hostel. The atmosphere was knew and it scared Bondita a little. But she promised herself to be strong because she has to be her own strength because she knew, this time her patibabu won't be there to guide her, to protect her.
Making her see the campus it was time for Anirudh to leave. And for the final time when their eyes met, tears rolled. But wiping his own, Anirudh wiped Bondita's tears too and keeping his hand on her head said, "apna khyal rakhna Bondita aur mauka mile toh patra likhna.." and she nodding her head bend to touch his feet and he too blessed her, this time without any hesitation. He wanted to say more but the words couldn't make their way out and Bondita turned moving towards her new life that was waiting for her. But she didn't had the courage to look back one more time, to see her "patibabu" whose eyes always had that spark now filled with tears that she is unable to wipe now. She was not ready to turn, to accept the reality, to see her world crashing down.
And his eyes lingered at her fading footsteps and he himself didn't knew for how much hours he was standing there. Her fragrance was still in the air and the last image of her captured in his heart but she was gone forever from him but taking a piece of his heart with her.
With heavy steps he came out of the gate. The sun was setting and darkness of the night was engulfing and Anirudh felt his life too was sinking in darkness. He has lost his reason to live. The only girl Anirudh Roy Choudhury loved from his whole heart too has gone far from him.
The road was empty and the sound of the cold breeze coming from the mountains made the atmosphere scary but unknown to the surrounding around, he sat on his knees and shouted in the air with tears in his eyes. He was trying to take out all the pains out that had made their nest inside his heart but this was a failed attempt, as nothing was lessening the pain he was feeling at the moment. But the breeze stopped and the moon soaked him in its warmth. It was only the universe that was understanding the pain, his heart was undergoing.
The night felt long for the two souls and so was the upcoming life...
Hath chut raha tha..sath chut raha tha..
par Manzil dur thi..
Aur lamba safar tay karna tha!!
Ek dusre se dur..ek dusre k bina..
Haye kismat tera ye khel!!!
