Priya Sakhi,

Sahi pehchana. Mein tumhara Sakha Madhav. Kaisi ho? Sunke aacha laga ki tum aur Anirudh wapas ek ho gye. Sakhi mein tumse kuch maangna chahta hoon.
Meri yeh iccha puri karogi na?

Mein chahta hoon ki meri aur Manorama ki beti ka khayal tum aur Anirudh rakho. Actually jo bacchi hai woh Joydeep aur Manorama ka bacha hai . Joydeep ne Manorama se shaadi karne ke baad woh khush the par Jab usse Pata chala ki Manorama ek krantikaari hai toh usne Manorama ko ek chodi hui aurat bana diya. Jiss raaste se mein guzar raha tha udhar meine Manorama ke saath zyagti hote huye dekha. Bachane ke liye mujhe usse vivaah karna pada, bilkul tumhare aur Anirudh ke tarah. Manorama pet se thi aur khayal rakhne waala koi bhi nhi tha.
Dheere dheere hi sahi pyaar hua aur humne pure riti rivazon ke saath phirse vivaah kiya . Sab kuch acha chal raha tha. Phir woh din aaya jab meri bacchi iss duniya mein aayi. Usse jab peheli baar godh liya tha toh aankhein bhar aayi thi. Uski bhuri aakhein, choti naak, chote haath ,paer aur ek meethi muskaan. Meri berang zindagi ko rang diya tha. Dekhte hi dekhte shaadi ko ek saal beet gye aur humari beti bhi 1 saal ki ho gyi. Lekin ek saathi ne angrezon ke saath milkar hum krantikaariyon ko dhoka diya aur desh drohi ban gya. Manorama aakhri saas tak umm angrezon se ladi aur jeeti bhi.

Jab tak tumhe yeh chithi milegi tab tak mein aur Manorama iss duniya se jaa chuke honge. Meri beti ka koi parivaar nhi hai. Maa baba mere vivaah se pehele guzar gye aur Manorama ke maa baba ne usse saare rishte tod diye. Meri beti ke liye agar mere nazar mein koi ache maa yaa baba hain woh tum dono ho. Anirudh aur Bondita. Mein apni beti ko pyaar se mishti bulata tha. Kabhi koi acha naam sochne ka mauka hi nhi mila.
Desh ki azaadi mein itne magan jo ho gye the. Haan par yeh mat sochna ki mein iss duniya se chala gya toh tumhare saath nhi Rahunga. Sakha apni sakhi ko kabhi nhi chod sakta aur nahi kabhi chodega. Jab bhi meri yaad aaye toh aasaman mein jo sabse zyada chamakta hua tara milega na , samajh lena mein hoon. Theek hai? Ab rona band karo.

Apni Sakha ki aakhri iccha Pura karogi na? Meri beti ko apne parivaar ka naam dogi na Sakhi? Aasha hai karogi.

Alvidaa. Aur haan Rona nhi hai.

Tumhara Sakha
Madhav.

Som read the letter loud so that everyone could hear it. Everyone and everything was numb and silent.

Bondita was crying in Anirudh's embrace when she heard the baby's cry.
She got up and took the baby from Naina's embrace to hers. The baby who was crying suddenly stopped and looked at Bondita with her innocent brown eyes. Bondita slowly rocked her and hummed a song while crying.

The baby slept in her embrace while sucking her little tiny thumb. She gave Naina the baby who went to Bondita's room and made her sleep there.

Kaka finally uttered : Bahu...Madhav bete ke jaane ka dukh hume bhi hai. Par uska bacha tum sambhalogi yeh..

Bondita: Kaka sasoor jii..Madhav ke wajah se aaj mein iss ghar mein aapke saamne khadi hoon. Madhav sirf mere Sakha hi nhi mere parivaar ka hisaa bhi hai. Unke jaane ke baad ,unki aakhri iccha ka palan karna mera kartavya hai. Aur mein iss se peeche nhi hatungi.

Anirudh,getting up: Mein Bondita ke saath hoon. Mein Mishti ko Mera naam doonga. Mein mishti ko Anirudh Roy Chowdhary ki beti ke taur pe sweekaar karta hoon.

Baba,sighing: Par Anirudh yeh bachi humara khoon nhi hai. Hum isse aise hi kisi ko bhi apne parivaar ka naam nahi de sakte.

Kaka: Binoy sahi keh rha hai. Iss bache ke andar krantikaariyon ka khoon daudta hai. Krantikaari the iske mata pita..

Bondita: Toh isse iss maasoom si bachi ka kya lena dena.

Kaka: Maana iss bachi ki koi galti nahi hai par hum isse kaise apna len? Naa humari jaat ka hai aur naahi humari khoon ka. Hum isse aise hi kaise apne parivaar ka naam aur khandan ka naam deden.

Bondita: Apnaya toh mujhe bhi tha na aap logon ne? Naina ko bhi apnaya na.
Hum bhi toh neechi jaat se hai. Phir bhi apne usoolon ke khilaaf jaa kar apnaya na. Toh phir iss bachi ko kyun nhi? Naam khoon khaandaan se kya farak padta hai Kaka sasoor ji.

Binoy: Farak padta hai. Padta hai farak. Tum dono iss ghar ki bahuyen ho. Maana jis tarike se tum dono ka vivaah ho nhi hona chahiye tha. Lekin..

Bondita: Lekin kya Baba? Apke bete ne meri zindagi bachai thi. Jiske wajah se mein aapke saamne khadi hoon. Naina aur mein hum dono gareeb hote huye bhi aapne hume beti ka darjaa diya. Toh kya aap uss bachi ko poti ka darjaa nhi de sakte? Baba meine aapse aaj tak kuch bhi nahi maanga hai. Aapne aur Kaka sasoor ji ne Sab khushi Khushi diya hai. Lekin aaj mein aapse maang rhi hoon. Mujhe mishti se door mat kariye. Mere Sakha ki aakhri iccha puri karne dijiye mujhe.
Please.

Som: Haan Kaka. Maan jaiyiye na. Issme uss bachiyon ka koi dosh nhi hai.
Please.

Batuk: Haan Kaka. Mujhe chachu banne ka mauka bhi milega aur mujhse chota iss ghar mein bhi koi aayega. Phir sab usse daantna mujhe nhi.

Som hit his forehead. Batuk frowned and looked at Naina who in return glared him. Batuk retreated and himself behind Som.

Bondita joining her hands: Kaka sasoor ji. Agar aap chahte hai ki mein iss ghar mein rahun toh please..

Kaka: Bahu yeh kya..Theek hai. Jo karna hai karo. Aaj tak humari baat kabhi sunni gyi hai kya iss ghar mein? Jao apna lo usse apni beti.

Bondita and Anirudh exchanged happy glances and were about to move towards their room when Binoy interrupted and said: Lekin hum usse poti ke taur pe sweekar nhi karenge. Samjhe.

Bondita looked at Anirudh with sad face while he assured her, that everything would be fine soon.

They went to their room and were awed by the sight. The baby was sleeping with open mouth. She had the fair skin like Manorama and eyes like Madhav. A perfect complexion of her parents.

Bondita sat by her side and caressing her hairs uttered: Puri duniya se beanjaan yeh kaise apni sapnon ki duniya mein soh rhi hai na pati babu.

Anirudh, smiling looking at her : Haan Bondita. Bohot pyaari beti hai Madhav aur Manorama ki.

Bondita's eyes turning moist : Haan Pati Babu. Bohot pyaari beti hai mere Sakha ki.

Anirudh wiping her tears, said : Lekin ab humari hai. Hum iska khoob khayal rakhenge. Bohot saara pyaar denge. Kabhi akela mehsoos nhi hone denge.

Bondita, nodded and said: Mein achi maa banungi na pati babu?

Anirudh, caressing her cheek utterd: Han bondita. Tum ek achi Bahu ho , boudi ho, dost ho, patni ho. Toh Maa kyun nhi.

Bondita gave a light smile and hugged him.
Anirudh hugged her back and caressed her hairs.

After sometime.

The baby woke up and looked around the room. She found no one. She suddenly giggled and started throwing her hands and legs here and there.
After a while she suddenly, started to cry.

Bondita was in the kitchen getting the milk heated up. She had asked the doctor who in return told that she can have cows milk.

Here in Anirudh and Bondita's room Mishti was continuously crying her heart out.

Binoy who was passing by heard her crying chose to ignore it but got irritated and went inside the room to find it empty.

Binoy trying to calm her : Chup ho jao.
Lalalaa.. yeh chup kyun nhi ho rhi.

He hesitantly picked her up and rocking her he moved inside the room.
Mishti got quite and looked at him.

As she stopped crying Binoy was about to keep her back on the bed when she again started to cry. This time she didn't stop and cried continuously.

Kaka from behind came and said : Arre yeh toh kyun rahi hai.

Binoy: Pata nhi da. Nahi sambhal rhi hai.

Kaka: pehele khud ko sambhal le.

Binoy sarcastically: Agar aapko aata hai toh aao sambhalo.

Kaka: Haan..Nahi tum usse pakde raho. Hum usse door se sambhal lenge.

Binoy: seedha seedha kyun nhi keh dete ki nhi hoga.

Kaka frowned and said: Theek hai lao. Hum isse sambhalte hai. Tum apna chahma sambhalo. Girne waala hai.

Binoy frowned and let Kaka hold the baby.

She got quite and Kaka was about to keep her back on the bed when she cried again.

Binoy secretly laughed while Kaka glared him.

Both the fathers soon got busy in pacifying the baby. Binoy started to play peek-a-boo with her while Kaka rocked her in his arms.

Mishti giggled and looked at both of them simultaneously. Slowly her eyes turned droopy and she slept again.

Binoy and Kaka sighed in relief and sat on the bed after making mishti sleeping on bed comfortably.

Kaka suddenly giggled and said looking at Mishti: Yaad hai Binoy. Anirudh jab janma tha. Tab kaise roye jaa rha tha. Ghar mei kisi se bhi chup nhi ho rha tha. Tab bihari ne aake kaha ki " Malik kyun na aap chote maalik ko godh mein leke aur Binoy maalik naachen".

Binoy laughed and said: Yaad hai na da.
Pehle jab Bihari ki baat sunni toh gussa aaya par par jab uski tarkeeb aazmaya toh khush ho gya kyunki woh kaam aa gyi thi.

The brothers started to discuss the golden days. Anirudh and Bondita were silently watching them with a smile.
Both looked at eachother and entered the room grabbing the attention of the brothers.

Kaka stood up clearing his throat and said: Woh roh rhi thi toh aise hi hum yahan aa gye. Kisi bhi bacche ko rota hua nhi dekh sakte hum.

Binoy, nervous chuckling: Haan da sahi keh rhe hai.

Bondita and Anirudh sheepishly nodded and smiled to themselves.

Kaka: Aur haan Agar faisla kar hi liya hai toh theek hai. Aaj hum iss bachi ke naamkaran ke liye pandit ji bulaya hai.

Bondita nodded and both the fathers left the two.
As they left Anirudh and Bondita laughed.

Bondita: Ab Pata chala ki aapne Abhinay karna kahan se seekha.

Anirudh: Kahan se?

Bondita: Baba aur kaka sasoor ji se.

Anirudh pulling her towards him and said: Par meine toh tumse seekha hai.

Bondita wrapping her arms around his neck said: achaa. Pehle roh kabhi nhi bataya?

Anirudh touching their forehead, whispered: Ab bata raha hoon na.

Bondita smiled and parted away. She sat beside Mishti who suddenly woke up.

Bondita: meri beti ko bhool lagi hai? Aaaja maa ke paas. Maa doodh laayi hai.

Anirudh smiled seeing them and went to the washroom to change.

The Haveli was decorated with beautiful lights and vibrant colors.
The guests started to arrive slowly with the gifts and whispering.

Anirudh and Bondita came down with mishti. They greeted everyone with a genuine smile.
Anirudh was talking with one of his friends when he heard two woman whispering and that made him angry.

Anirudh: Kya mein jaan sakta hoon ki aap kya baat kar rhe hai?

Woman 2 : Maalik hum toh bas aise hi..

Woman 1: Arre maalik se kya chupana.
Maalik hum jaante hai ki aapne yeh baccha godh kyun liya hai. Bondita Maalkin banjh hai na isliye. Vivaah ke itne saal baad bhi bavvha nhi hua. Arre aisi aurton ko toh doob Mar jana chahiye.

Anirudh: Bas. Bohot hua. Mehmaan hai mehmaan banke rahiye. Meri Bondita banjh nhi hai. Aur humare bacche kab honge iska faisla humara hai aapka nhi.
Aur humne bacha godh liya hai toh isse aapko kya takleef hai? Meri beti ke khilaaf El shabd nhi sununga mein. Aindaa se kuch bhi bolne se pehele say baar sochna.

The two woman left the spot immediately being imbarrassed.

Bondita kept a hand on his shoulder to calm him down. Anirudh looked at her with tears while Bondita wiped them nodding in no.

Pandit from behind: Shubh muhorat aarambh hone wala hai. Kripya kar yahan aa jayiye.

After chanting some mantras,checking the Kundali and counting the beads of rosary, the pandit said: Betiya ka naam ba (B) se rakhenge toh shubh hoga.

Everyone started to think the name.

Naina: Bargavi.

Bondita nodded in no.

Kaka: Baijayanti.

All looked at Kaka surprised while he turned away his face pretending as if he had said like that only.

Anirudh nodded in no.

Som: Baivavi.

Both Anirudh and Bondita nodded in No.

Binoy: Bidishaa.

The baby wailed in disappointment while Binoy frowned. Everyone luaghed.

Batuk : Bani.

Both Anirudh and Bondita looked at eachother and smiled. Mishti threw her legs here and there in Happiness.

Pandit: Khub shundor.

Anirudh: Mein Anirudh Roy Chowdhary yeh ghoshna karta hoon ki aaj se meri beti ka naam Bani Anirudh Roy Chowdhary hoga.

The hall echoed with claps and blessings.
