Anidita: Journey of Dreams and Divine love.

Chapter 16

Next day,
Bondita dressed herself in Blue Saree and was setting her jewellery and pallu.

Then, Aniruddh came & stood behind her with the Barrister Coat in his hands.
'Barrister Babu Bondita' he uttered with Proud. Bondita saw his face in the round mirror and he holding her coat.
She was about to turn when Aniruddh came near her and made her wear that Coat slowly & elegantly by himself.

She was extremely delighted and happy but she started crying when she saw tears of happiness in Aniruddh's eyes.

Bondita : 'Aapke aansun kya hamesha aapki palkon par hi baithe rehte hein? Ro kyun rahe hein aap?'
Aniruddh: Tumhare bhi aansun kya tumhari palkon par hi baithe rehte hein? Tum kyu ro rahi ho?
Bondita: Main ro rahi hun kyunki aap ro rahe hein...
Bondita took a pause and smiled with teary eyes... She then wiped his tears with her tiny hands and said...'Aise hi dekhna chahte the na aap mujhe?'
Aniruddh then wiped her tears & with happiness cupped her face 'Haaan'

There came, Sumati Maa and Shamita.
Sumati Maa came near Bondita and looked at her from bottom to top.
For the first time Sumati Maa uttered,
'BARRISTER BABU BONDITA'

What can make a child more happy than his/ her parents being proud of him/her?
Indeed Bondita was on cloud Nine.
She just hugged Sumati Maa and Sumati Maa blessed Bondita with all her heart.

Aniruddh too took Maa's blessings and said 'Maa, aap nahi chalengi apni Barrister Bondita ko court mein ladte dekhne?'

'Jamai Babu, main court toh nahi aa sakti lekin jab aap uske sath hein toh main maan lungi ki Bondita ka Sansaar uske sath hai! Aapke hote hue Meri Bondita kabhi nahi haar sakti.' Maa  gently said to Aniruddh to which Aniruddh replied with a satisfactory short smile.
'Bondita aaj tera pehla muqadma hai na?
Dahi-Shakkar nahi khayegi apni Maa ke hath se?'

Sumati went and brought Dahi-Shakkar & she gave it to Bondita which she had with delight.
'Shamita Ji aap mere sath bahar chaliye, mujhe aapse kuch puchna hai' Bondita took Shamita out with her...

Aniruddh was about to go out but Sumati stopped her,
'Aaj aapka Dhanyavaad kaise prakat karun main Jamai Babu? Aaj meri Bondita ek nayi Duniya mein kadam rakhne ja rahi hai... Jiska raasta aapne banaya hai uske liye!'
'Nahi Maa, aap sharminda kar rahi hein mujhe, Bondita ko Barrister Babu banane ka sapna koi fitoor main tay ki gayi zidd nahi thi meri, mera lakshya tha aur Maa Bondita ne mere sapne ko sach kar diya. Mera lakshya aaj Bondita ki haqeeqat hai Maa! Maine Raasta banaya lekin meri Manzil Bondita thi Maa.
Aur Bondita ke bina Aniruddh Roy Chaudhary kuch bhi nahi' Aniruddh said being Proud.

'Aniruddh ke bina Bondita bhi kahaan hai Jamai Babu? Meri Bondita agar Shabd hai na toh uska arth aap hain..
(Maa took a pause)
Aap shayad pehle honge jisne is पितृसत्तात्मक समाज (patriarchal society) mein apni Patni ko aage badhne ka mauka diya, Dugga Maa aapko jeevan mein har sukh de Jamai Babu'

'Maa, ek baat kahun aapse?
Main jab London se Bharat aaya tha na... Toh bas ek bhatakta hua insaan tha jise kahaan jaana ye toh maalum tha lekin kaise jaana hai ye nahi pta tha! Aur tabhi mujhe raah mein Bondita mili, uska saath mila. Bondita meri saathi hi nahi, mera sab kichu ban gyi, kaise-kab main nahi jaanta?
London mein ek Angrez mila tha mujhe, usne mujhse kaha tha ki 'jaao Hindustan kisi aurat ko uska adhikaar dilao, samaaj mein izzat dilao" Lekin Maa Bondita meri is kranti ki aisi mashaal bani jisne mere sapno ko toh roshan kiya hi hai aur ab Barrister Babu Bondita ban kar vo Shamita jaisi Aurton ko apni bhi raasta dikha rhi hai aur naa jaane kitni aurton ke liye prerna banegi vo... !
Maa..
Aapko pta hai... (he with happy expressioms)
Jab Bondita Dalhousie gayi thi na? tabse lekar aaj tak ek ajeeb si aadat pad gyi hai mujhe.
Aap jaanti hein Maa? Jab koi mujhe aashirvaad deta hai na toh main Bondita ke liye bhi aashirvaad maang leta hun!
Isiliye....Maa aaj aap bas ye aashirvaad dijiye ki Bondita ko main vo saari khushiyaan de sakun jiski haqdaar hai vo'
