Next day

Bondita and Radha were having their dinner. Bondita asked what happened yesterday to which Radha narrated everything ( obviously not entirely true). After that Aarif sat beside Radha with a wide grin. It didn't went unnoticed by Radha and Bondita that Aarif was blushing.

Bondita - Khuch hua hai kya Aarif ?

Aarif -Tumhe kese pata chala ?

Radha - ek normal insaan ko toh samajh mein aa jata. Ab batao kya hua hai ?

Aarif - ek khushkhabri deni hai. Mera roka tay ho gaya hai ! 1 hafte baad Mera roka hai !

What !

Bondita and Radha screamed together.

Aarif - kyu khuch samasya hai !

Bondita - Areee..... bahut badi samasya hai ! Mere pass toh kapde hi nahi hai !

Aarif - tum sab ladkiyaan yahi kehti ho ! Agar tumhara pura Ghar bhi mein kapdo se bhar du fir bhi tum yahi kahogi .

Radha kicked on his feet making him wince in pain.

Aarif - Ouch ! Kyu mara !

Radha - stereotype kyu kiya ?

Bondita - Aur mere pass sach mein kapde nahi hai !Aur Kal mein shopping karne jaungi !

Radha - Okay !

Bondita - par sab itni jaldi kyu Aarif ?

Aarif - darasal Fatima ke dadaji ki halat naazuk hai aur vo chahte hai ki vo iss duniya se jaane se pehle vo apni laadli poti ki shadi dekhe. Aur mujhe aur Fatima ko koi problem nahi hai jaldi shaadi karne mein toh bas hamara roka jaldi ho raha hai.

Bondita - oh accha.

Aarif - aur hume kal parso tak yaha se jana hoga ?

Bondita - hume ?

Aarif - Ha ! Tum dono bhi mere sath chaloge !

Bondita - par sab itni jaldi kese ?

Aarif - sab ho jayega ! Mein tumhari help karunga ! Aur vese bhi khuch jyada saaman lena bhi nahi hai.

Bondita - Toh kal packing shuru kar dete hai !

Aarif - Done !

___________In the midnight __________

Bondita was sleeping in her room when she heard fainted voice.

Ma......Ma utho Ma......

She slowly got awaken.

Bondita - Radha ! Beta kya hua hai ? Itni raat ko yaha kese ?

Radha - Ma mera jee bahut ghabra Raha hai. Mujhe bahut dar lag raha hai aur mera dum bhi ghut raha hai.

Hearing this all Bondita's sleep faded away.

Bondita - Kya ! Tum theek toh ho ? Tumne khuch ulta seedha khaya tha ?

Radha - nahi Ma mene khuch nahi khaya. Pata nahi bas achanak se hi....

Bondita - Koi baat nahi.....aao tum mere pass so jao.

Radha - nahi Ma room mein mera dum ghut raha hai. Mujhe terrace par jaana hai. Thodi taazi hava mein par mujhe dar bhi lag raha hai. Kya aap mere sath terrace par sone chalegi ?

Bondita - Ha kyu nahi chalo.

They both took some bedsheets and pillows and went to terrace. Bondita arranged the bedsheets and asked Radha to come and sleep. Radha came and slept in Bondita's lap. Bondita also caressed her hair. After sometime Radha felt asleep.

Here Bondita was still awaken. After what Radha narrated she was unable to sleep. She was worried about Radha's health. She covered Radha with a blanket and went towards the balcony. The cool night Breeze touched Bondita's cheeks making her a little bit relaxed. Suddenly she heard a familiar voice singing a melodious song.

Are hai..

La la la la la la la la la la la la la lah..

Hmmm he hee

The person was Anirudh who was already at his terrace enjoying the cool breeze when he heard Radha and Bondita's voice. He saw that Bondita was making Radha sleep. He patiently waited for sometime. When Radha fell asleep and Bondita came to the balcony. He also came toh his balcony singing a song.

Bondita - Barrister babu rukiye ! Apko dikh nahi Raha meri bacchi so rahi hai ? Band kijiye apna ye gaana.

Anirudh ( teasingly) - mujhe aache se dikh raha hai ki tumhari beti so rahi hai par kya tumhe nahi dikh raha ki ye Mera Ghar hai aur mein mere ghar mein gaana gaa Raha hu aur ye karne se tum mujhe nahi rok sakti......... Barrister Babu Bondita ! Aur vese bhi mein itna bura bhi nahi gaata ki Radha ko khuch samasya hogi.

Bondita sighed in irritation because she knew she couldn't stop him. She at first thought to take Radha downstairs but what if her health again get affected. She saw Radha's relaxed face and decide to bear the great Barrister of Tulsipur tonight.

Mere saamne waali khidki mein

Ek chaand ka tukda rehta hai !

Mere saamne waali khidki mein

Ek chaand ka tukda rehta hai !

Afsos ye hai ke vo hamse

Kuchh ukhda ukhda rehta hai

Mere saamne waali khidki mein

Ek chaand ka tukda rehta hai !

Bondita turned hearing his voice. After 8 years she heard him singing.

"We shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome someday !
Ohho deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome someday! "

The past memories of Anirudh singing to motivate him echoed in her ears. Her trance was broken when Anirudh sang the next para of the music.

Jis roz se dekha hai usko

Ham shamaa jalaana bhool gaye

Dil thaam ke aise baithe hain

Kahin aana jaana bhool gaye

Ab aath pahar in aankhon mein

Vo chanchal mukhda rehta hai

Mere saamne waali khidki mein

Ek chaand ka tukda rehta hai

Barsaat bhi aakar chali gayi

Baadal bhi garaj kar baras gaye !

Barsaat bhi aakar chali gayi

Baadal bhi garaj kar baras gaye !

Par uski ek jhalak ko ham

Ai husn ke maalik taras gaye

Kab pyaas bujhegi aankhon ki

Din raat ye dukhda rehta hai

Mere saamne waali khidki mein

Ek chaand ka tukda rehta hai

Afsos ye hai ke vo hamse

Kuchh ukhda ukhda rehta hai

Mere saamne waali khidki mein

Ek chaand ka tukda rehta hai

Bondita couldn't stop herself hearing his melodious voice. She was just staring him forgetting all the clashes between them. But it didn't lasted long. As soon as Anirudh smiled she came back to the real world.

' Bondita Das aaj ek baat ko ghaat bandh lo hamare beech ab koi rishta nahi , hamare raaste ab alag hai aur itne alag ki vo kabhi nahi milenge. Iss baat ko apne zehen mein dafan kar lo. '

'Maar diya tumhari beti ko dada ne !'

'Ha ye sach hai Bondita ! '

Without answering anything she went and leaned beside Radha. Anirudh waited for sometime hoping she is awake but she didn't move after that. He thought she might have fell asleep and it's better not to disturb unknown of the fact that Bondita was still awake. Sleep cannot come after what happened a few minutes ago.
