Next morning

"Ye iss Bondita ka Roz ka hogaya hai Kya?! Kal shopping karne mein poora din laga di aur aaj bolti hai zaroori baat karni hai sabse kripaya aap sab neeche aa jaaye! Mai koi uska naukar baitha hu jo neeche chala jaau! Nahi jaaungi!M.. mera Mtlb jaaunga! Ye iski sangati mein reh reh kar mai sochne bhi galat laga hu! Do din Kya hue aaye hue abhi se ye halat hai!"

Aniruddh wore his coat and went downstairs where everyone was waiting for him. Everyone went to Bondita's house and we're warmly welcomed. Both the families sat comfortably in the drawing room and Bondita stood in the centre.

Bondita - Meri baat suno sab.. Maine yaha aap sab ko kuch batane ke liye bulaya hai..

Binoy - Haan beta teri baat sun lenge par usse pehle mai tere baba se kuch baat karna chahta hu.. (to Bondita's father ~ Anirban) Mai Aniruddh aur Bondita ke rishtey ke baare mein soch raha tha? Kyu dada?

Kaka - Haan bilkul Mai bhi iske baare mein baat karne ka soch hi raha tha. Ek din araam se baith kar baat kiya jaayega haina?

Anirban - Aree ji bilkul.. Iss vishay par charcha karni hi hai ab jald se jald..

Aniruddh looked at all of them shocked and then finally spoke up.

Aniruddh - Kaka baba uncle ye aaplog kya kya bol rahe hai.. Mujhe Shaadi nahi karni isse. (All looked at him with eyebrows raised specially Bondita) M..Mera..Mtlb.. Mujhe abhi kisi se shaadi nahi karni! Mai abhi apne kaam par dhyaan dena chahta hu..

Kaka - Beta toh Bondita beti bhi toh tera wala hi kaam karti hai hai.. Tum dono saath mein kaam karna isme dikkat waali konsi baat hai? Rishta toh tay hona hai..

Bondita - Kaka Barrister Babu Aaplog shaanti se baithiyega Mai kuch bolna chahti hu tabhi se! Ab sirf Mai bolungi aur koi nahi bolega!

Aniruddh - Haan iss baat se toh accha hai tumhaari baat sunlu! Bolo !

Bondita - Mai... Naukari nahi karne wali ab! Mai barristry chhor rahi hu!

Everyone looked at her in shock. Aniruddh stood up while Binoy questioned,

Binoy - Par beta kyu?

Anirban - Bondita tune bachpan mein humari jaan khaa li thi ye bol bol kar ki tujhe Barrister Babu banna hai aur ab jab tu apna aur hum sab ka sapna poora kar chuki hai toh keh rahi hai tujhe nahi karna ye kaam?

Bondita - Baba mai nahi karna chahti ye naukri. Mujhe.. mujhe kuch aur karna hai!

Aniruddh - (claps) Wahh! Bahane hai iske ye sab! Ek bhi kaam nahi karna chahti.. Kisi bhi kaam se bhaagne se kuch nahi hoga.. London se Barrister ki degree isiliye lekar aayi ki yaha par kuch aur karo? Dekho Bondita maana ki mai tumhara senior hu aur is par sirf tumhara haq hai ki tum kya karogi Kya nahi par mai ek dost ke naate tumhe bol raha hu..

Bondita - Barrister Babu Mai jaanti hu maine zidd ki thi London jaane keliye aur maine apni zidd poori bhi ki par aap samajhiye.. Baba kaka uncle Mai ye nahi keh rahi ki mujhe kuch nahi karna.. Mai kuch aur karna chahti hu..

Anirban - Kya?

Bondita - Vo mai aaplogo ko nahi bata sakti.. Par vakayi mein mai kuch aur karna chahti hu.. Aur ek baar mai uss kaarya mein safal ho jaau Mai aap sab ko khud bata dungi. Mujhe bas kuch samay chahiye..

Aniruddh - Par jab Tum kuch karna chahti ho toh bado ko batane mein kya pareshaani hai?

Bondita - (angry pout) Aap! Chup! Ekdum shh!! Mujhe Bado se baat karne toh dijiye. Mai samajhti hu mere bina aap nahi sambhal paayenge kuch din court ka kaaryabhar.. Par aapko dheere dheere aadat lag jaayegi Barrister Babu..

Kaka and Binoy chuckled listening to her.

Aniruddh - Hass lijiye aaplog. Aap sab ke pyaar ke wajah se hi ye aisi ziddi ho gayi hai!

Sumati - Aniruddh beta.. Tum toh aise bol rahe ho jaise tumhe kisi ka pyaar hi nahi mila..(laughs)

Aniruddh - Aunty ab aap bhi nahi! Aap meri team mein rahengi bas! That's final!

Kaka - Bondita beta.. Dekho tujhe nahi Mann ye naukari karne ki? Matt kar kisi ne zabardasti nahi ki.. Th shaadi toh kar hi sakti hai.. Uske baad Jo Jo Dil kare kare lena..

Bondita looked down blushing while Kaka continued..

Kaka - Anirban kyuki abhi dono parivaar mile hue hai toh rishtey ki baat kar hi lete hai naa...

Aniruddh - Kaka ek minute!

Kaka - ab kya hai aniruddh?

Aniruddh - Mujhe ye shaadi nahi karni!

Binoy - Aniruddh phir wahi baat..

Aniruddh - baba Mai iss shaadi ke liye maan bhi jaata agar Bondita ye faisla nahi leti! Mai ye nahi kehta ki jo ladki kuch nahi karti uska Samaj mein koi adhikaar nahi par Kaka mujhe apne liye Kaisa jeevan saathi chahiye ye mai tay karunga..Aur mujhe jaisi jeevansaathi chahiye vo Bondita toh nahi hai! Mai ye nahi keh raha Bondita kharaab hai..Bondita bohot acchi hai par mere jaisi nahi hai!

Bondita - Haan kaka ye sahi keh rahe hai.. Aap logo ko toh pata hi hai mujhe ek samajhdaar vyakti se shaadi karni hai.. Mera Mtlb Barrister Babu bohot samajhdaar hai (passing a teasing smile to Ani) par mere jaise nahi hai!

Aniruddh's pov.
Ye khud ko samajhti kya hai aakhir! Galti bhi ye kare aur taane bhi yahi maare! Mera aur iska kuch nahi ho sakta. Iss janam mein toh na hi koi Bhavna aur na hi koi  sambhavna.
Pov ends.

End for today!

Precap - Bondita runs away?
