"Good morning bachcha!!" Saudamini whispered in Mini's ear kissing her forehead lovingly when she was trying to open her eyes slowly with a small smile on her face having a blur vision of a lady leaning on her face and she too reciprocated, "Good Morning mum...." but stopped in mid when she got her vision clear.... she immediately got up with a jerk and looked at Saudamini with her eyes wide open in shock, "I slept with you??" she asked surprisingly, 

Sau (smiled): haan.... kya hua?? neend nahi aayi meri god me ??

Mini (shouted): SHUT UP!!! HOW DARE YOU??? himmat kese hui aapki ye sab krne ki.... and....

 she made an angry face and rubbed her forehead, "how dare you to kiss me.... to touch me??"

Saudamini stood up shocked seeing her anger and the whole family too gathered there listening to loud noises...

Sau: bet aaap neeche so rahe the.... isliye mene....

Mini: isliye aapne socha ki aap mumma ki tarah sula dengi mujhe?? don't you dare think that..... jo meri mumma krti thi vo koi nahi kr skta... unki tarah banke unki jagah lena chahti h aap??

Sau: nahi beta....

Mini: MINIIII....Mini naam h mera.... usi naam se bulaiye.... beta kehne ki zaroorat nahi h.... aap yahan baby ki care krne ke liye ruki h to usme dhyaan dijiye.... mein apna dhyaan khud rakh lungi.... 

She turned to leave when she spotted the whole family looking at her shocked at her behaviour, she went to them and politely said,

Mini: I'm sorry... I know mujhe inse aise baat nahi krni chahiye thi.... badi h vo mujhse.... but aap inhe keh dijiye.... Baby ka dhyaan rakhne aayi h to vo hi rakhe...Mumma ki tarah behave krke Mini ki mumma banne ki koshish na kare... meri mumma sirf Bondita Roy Chaudhary thi or vo hi rahengi.... 

She glared at Saudamini and went down and the family sighed sadly and looked at Saudamini who was standing there with tears in her eyes.....

Som: kya kiya aapne jo vo ese gussa ho kr chali gayi...

Bat: mene pehle hi mana kiya tha kaka...mat rehne dijiye inhe yaha.... pr nahi...kisi ko sunni hi nahi h meri....

Ksj: kya kiya tumne Saudamini....

She wiped her flowing tears and said, "kuch nahi kaka.... kal raat ko neend nahi aa rahi thi to socha thoda chat pr ghoom lu.... pr yahan aa kr dekha ki Mini ro rahi thi akeli baithi... aasmaan mein dekh kr apni Mumma se batein kr rahi thi.... or baatein krti krti or roti roti yahi zameen pr so gayi... isliye mene uska sir utha kr apni god me rakh liya.... pr shayad use acha nahi laga...."

Bat: kuch galat nahi kaha uss bachchi ne.... bilkul sahi paath padha kr gayi h...

Ishu: Batuk... behave yourself.... she's our guest!!! or kuch galat nahi kiya h unhone.... jo kaam shayad hume krna chahiye tha vo unhone kiya h.....

Bat (sighed): sorry baudi... 

Ksj: use agar pasand nahi to usse door rehne ki koshish karo... humaari bachi tumhaare kaaran pareshaan ho ye bardaash nahi hume....

They all left from there, while Saudamini uttered, "pareshaan to vo ho rahi h kaka.... pr shayad aap nahi dekh paa rahe... waada kiya h mene Bondita se.... to uske bacho ka khyaal rakhna meri zimmedari h... mein peeche nahi hatungi!!!" she wiped her tears and went down....

"ahh... mera sir" Anirudh held his head as he opened his eyes and felt pain in his head as he drank excessively last night.... Suddenly the room's darkness was covered by sunlight as the curtains opened welcming them..... "kon h?? please ise band karo...." he shouted as that light was unbearble for him.... but a soft voice calmed him as he knew whose voice this was, "Good Morning dadda...." Mini came to his bed and he slowly opened his eyes to have a look at her.... he smiled lightly and uttered, "Good Morning Angel!!" he got up and sat straight on the bed and Mini handed over a cup of coffee to him...."I know aapka sir dukh raha h... coffee pi lijiye... theek ho jaega...." she was behaving  normal with him and he knew the reason.... but this is  not what he wanted, a fake Mini... he wanted his real daughter, his real Angel.... the one whom he nurtured with Bondita.... and coffee??? he didn't wanted to have coffee that too which is not made by his Bondita.... he wanted to have poison.... but he can't deny his Angel, he can't break her heart, so took the coffee half heartedly...... and hesitantly took it near his mouth..... but it's smell made him sip it directly.... as it touches his tongue he uttered, "Bondita..." he looked surprisingly at Mini who was smiling at him as if she knew his reaction.... "Angel...ye to bilkul..."  "bilkul Mumma jaisi bani h...right??" he nodded and she said, "mene banayi h... jab mumma aapke liye coffee banati thi to mein dekhti thi...isliye unki recipe yaad ho gayi.... or vo kehti thi ki sir dard mein coffee bohot kaam aati h... to mene bana di.... theek h na??" though she was broken inside but she was trying her best to cheer up her dadda's mood and he too smiled seeing her concern and her small efforts to make him smile... he nodded smilingly and stretched his one arm and gestured her to come closer and she too obliged giving him a tight hug.... he kissed her hair and conversed with his Mishti through mind , "badi ho gayi humaari beti, Mishti.... pr mujhe acha nahi lag raha...." once again tears made their way through his eyes but before they could fall, he felt two soft hands on his cheeks wiping his tears and it took no time for him to understand that once again this was his Angel who herself was controlling her tears!!!

"tum yahan kya kr rahi ho??" Mini jerked in fear still being in her dadda's embrace as a sudden shout from kaka broke the soothing silence of the room... He immediately hugged her more tightly ensuring that she does not get afraid...."dadda ye..." "shayad kaka ki awaaz h, neeche se aa rahi h... tum ek kaam karo... apne room mein jaao or jaa kr school ke liye ready ho jao...mein dekh kr aata hoon..." she nodded and left to get ready for her school, and he too went downstairs only to find the face which he never wanted to see again... his anger reached at it's peak, his palms curled into fists and his knuckles turned white in anger, while his eyes were already red.....

He shouted angrily startling everyone, "tumhaari himmat kese hui iss ghar me dobara aane ki Sampoorna..." though Sampoorna was already scared of him, but she came here to overcome her guilt of being involved in her dear sister's death.... so she gathered some courage to face him and went to him...."Anirudh mujhe tumse kuch baat krnei h...ek baar meri baat sun lo...." 

All present there could sense his mood and the danger coming ahead for this fool lady.... so to save her from the devil arousing inside him, Kaka gestured Som to throw her out of the house, that will be less painful for her rather than facing Anirudh.... Som went and grabbed her hand pulling her towards the gate, "dada aap iski baato me mat aaiye... yahan apna per dobara jamaane aayi h..... ghar ke maahol ka fayda uthaane aayi h...." she folded her hands in front of him and said, "nahi nahi Anirudh.... mein yaha kisi ko nuksaan pohonchaane nahi aayi hon.... mein to yahan tumhe sach batake tumse maafi maangne aayi hoon.... ek baar meri baat sun lo..." Som was not paying any heed to her words and was dragging her out of the house, while Anirudh's veins were poping out from his neck, forehead and his hands,.. and he immeduiately stopped Som as he heard something unexpected, "Anirudh tum apni mishti ko insaaf nahi dilaana chahte kya?? ek baar meri baat to suno..."  He immediately ran to her and asked confusingly, "insaaf?? kya kehna chahti ho??" 

She got happy that finally she was getting a chance thus first she folded her hands and uttered slowly, "sabse pehle to Anirudh mujhe maaf kr dena.... mene jo bhi kiya uske liye maafi kaafi nahi h... paap ho gaya mujhse.... pr....pr mene kuch bhi jaan boojh ke nahi kiya.... mein to sirf tumse or iss parivaar se apni beizzati ka badla lena chahti thi.... pr Bondita ko maarne ka..... ka....koi iraada nahi tha mera...." all were shocked at her confession... 

Bat: maarne ka iraada nahi tha matlab?? baudi to... sidhiyon se....

Samp (looked down in guilt) : giri nahi thi... giraayi gayi thi... (stammered) me...me...mene giraaya tha use jaan boojh kr.... or ye hi bataane aayi hoon mein yaha....pr...pr ye poora sach nahi h.... haan uss din mein yaha aayi thi.... jab mujhe pta chala ki Roy Chaudriyon ke ghar do do khushkhabri aane waali h to mein dono ko khatam krne aayi thi.... mujhe badla chahiya tha,,, isliye mein yahan Bondita or Ishaani, dono ke bachcho ko unki kokh mein hi maar dena chahti thi.... pr jab yahan aayi to pta chala ki Ishaani ko to pehle hi sab jaajki ke liye le gaye or ghar pr sirf Koyali or Bondita h.... isliye mene seedhiyon pr thoda tel gira diya jisse Bondita ka pair fisal jaaye or vo gir jaaye... or uska bacha khatam ho jaaye..... ye khushi kabhi na mila tum logon ko....badle ki aag mein paagal ho gayi thi mein.... par Anirudh ye poora sach nahi h.... ye sab mene akele nahi kiya.... Anirudh Bondita ki maut seedhiyon se girne se nahi hui t hi... balki vo to...."

Before she could complete her sentence Binoy interrupted seeing that Anirudh was already standing numb listening to her and the family members became pale in fear as they never wanted him to know the real cause of her death... the story of those dreadful 15 days.... The real truth.... That she didn't die because of delivery or falling down from the stairs.... But because of.......

Thus, they stopped her from telling further... and Binoy shouted....

Bin: bassss...... bohot hua.... Tumhaari itni himmat ki tumne itna sab kr diya or uske bavjood yahan humaare hi ghar mein humaare hi saamne khadi ho kir sab kuch khule aam bata rahi ho...

Sam: himmat nahi pachtava h ye mera.... (she fell down on Anirudh's feet and cryingly said...

Samp: Anirudh ho sake toi mujhe maaf lr dena.,... or na maaf kr sako to jo chaho vo sazaa de do... ab to mujhe maut bhi manzoor h.... pr meri behen ko insaaf dila do... tumhaare per padti hoon mein.... Jo uske saath hua vo uski hakdaar nahi thi.... jo mene kiya uski wajah se uski jaan to nahi gayi pr vo uss haalat mein pohonchi to meri wajah se hi thi na.... mujhe maaf krdo Anirudh... maaf krdo.... mujhe apni galti...nahi nahi.... gunahon ka pachtava h.... mene kabhi tumhaara or Bondita ka bhala nahi chaha.... pr mene ye bhi nahi chaha tha ki meri behen itni door chali jaaye jahan se wapas laut hi na sake..... maaf krdo mujhe Anirudh.....

Ksj (roared): koi maafi nahi milegi tumhe.... paapon ki maafi nahi saza di jaati h.... or isse pehle hum tumhe bhi sidhiyon mein khada kr ke wahan se dhakka maar de...... nikal jaao yahan se.... chali jaao humaari nazron se door....

Sampoorna looked at Anirudh again with her guilty and tearful eyes and not getting any response from him, she gotup and turned to leave, the family sighed as they thought they were successful in hiding the truth only to be get shocked by Anirudh's sudden calm statement, "kahin nahi jaengi ye.... Ye inka bhi ghar h.... ye yahi rahengi...."

Sampoorna turned back with her tearful smile and asked, "tumne mujhe maaf kr diya Anirudh??"

Ani: haan kr diya maaf....

Bin: pr Anirudh....

Anirudh stopped him by showing his palm and uttered, "jab mene hi maaf kr diya to iske aage mujhe kisi se kuch sunne ki zaroorat nahi.... inhe apni galtiyon ka ehsaas h or vo hi mere liye kaafi h!!"

Sam: tumhaar bohot bohot dhanyawaad.... Tum jaante nahi kitna bada bojh mere man se halka ho gaya....

Anirudh nodded expressionlessly and left from there leaving the whole family in shock and fear what if he gets to know the truth..... even they were not aware what he will do....

What is the mystery of Bondita's death?? What was the family hiding from him?? Will he ever be able to know the truth?? Whatyou're your views on Anirudh's behaviour towards Sampoorna???? Any guesses??
