Anirudh Roy Chowdhury stood in his study,at the window.
Even in the chilled December evening, he just wore a simple white  Dhoti - Kurta with a beautiful and rich finish...
He had wrapped a sober golden-brown silk shawl around his shoulders and chest...

His hand rested on the window pane, while eyes were fixated at the sky!....He was so lost in the Moon and the Stars, as if searching for a known face in the infinity of the sky!...

He had a calm yet stern look on his face....Though he didn't look sad, but not even happy!...He looked like a lost man!..someone who had lost everything!....maybe just like the Pandavas must have looked after they lost everything in the gamble!...

"Life is a gamble itself!...you win some...you loose some...but the lost things are more precious!...", he thought.

When he was engrossed in his deep thoughts, a sweet, chuckling voice hit his ear!...

"Main kaisi lag rhi hu Babu?...", asked the voice chuckling with innocence!...Anirudh smiled without looking back and closed his eyes in pure bliss listening to his last favourite voice!...

This was the voice he wants to listen to on his death bed now!....This was the voice that can make him forget all his worries!...This was the voice which has kept him alive in this not so beautiful world!... This was the voice that made his life meaningful in this meaningless world!...

He quickly turned around to look down at the beautiful source of this beautiful voice!...But his smile faded as soon as he looked down!...His eyebrows furrowed in anger!...He clenched his fists to control himself from loosing his temper on the one he loved the most!...

The voice asked again, this time dancing in her new look,"Boliye Na Babu!...kaisi lag rhi hu main?!..."

Anirudh couldn't control more!...The Banarasi Saree!..the big red bindi!..all the ancient Roy Chowdhury jewellery around the small body!...That bun on that small head, he always wants to be lifted high!...The alta in the small hands and those pretty fingers which wiped his tears!.....The payals in the small feet that came running to him each time he came back home!...The bangles in the small wrists which he adorned with beautiful watches!...

It all made him more and more Red!...No...not red in blush!...but red in anger!...

He wasn't about the look!...He always loved seeing the owner of this voice in every look!...But this look reminded him of someone!...someone so so special to him!...

The small face looked upto him with a million questions as expectations!....But he clearly knew he won't be able to fulfill any of them!...
He looked away!...

The voice asked yet again , expecting an answer,"Boliye na!...kaisi lag rhi hu main Babu?...Aapko acchi nhi lagi?...Bataaiye na!....Lag rahi hu ek dam...Maa Jaisi?!..."

The last words were enough for Anirudh to loose his temper!...In these years he had tried hard controlling his anger!...But still, these words were enough to trigger the erupting volcano inside him!...

"CHUPPP!...EK DAM CHUPP!...EK SHABD AUR NAHI RUDHAANSHIIIII!!!...EK SHABD AUR NAHIIII!!!!.....", he scolded her!..he scolded his beloved daughter!...the one he nurtures like his princess!..but today he couldn't control!....his princess had made him remember his Queen!...

Rudhaanshi's eyes welled up with tears!....she had shivered listeing to her father's stern and sharp voice!...But she did not cry!...she knew  if she cried, it would hurt him even more!...she knew he loves her a lot!...being just seven year old,she is still wise enough to decipher her dad's love and anger!....

She stood there with her head lowered...while he asked her again in a stern voice,still not looking at her,"KISNE TAIYYAR KIYA AAPKO?...HAAN?!...KISNE PEHNAYI YEH SAREE?!..."

"Ma...maa...maassi ne!...Maine hi unse kaha tha...vo..vo..", she tried to speak between her sobs!...But her voice hitched...

Anirudh didn't need to listen a word further!...He called out,"Sampoorna!...Sampoorna!...Idhar aaiye!...."

Sampoorna who was also in her mid-thirties,came running to study listeing to his anger filled voice!....

"RUDHI KO KYU SAJAYA?..KYU SAJAYA ISE BONDITA JAISE??...", His voice filled with immense anger!...

Sampoorna said scared,"vo..vo..ise apni maa ke jaisa dikhna tha Anirudh...isliye maine..."

"LEKE JAAIYE ISE!....ABHIIII!!!", he commanded and Sampoorna quickly picked up little RUDHI in her arms and took her outside the study,wiping off her little tears.... while RUDHI wrapped her arms around her maassi's neck and looking at her Father sadly!...She could sense his pain!...

As soon as Sampoorna left with RUDHI, Anirudh went and shut the study door!...
He went to his table and picked up Bondita's picture!....the same attire!...that saree...alta...bindi....now looked the best to him!...

He kissed the picture and hugged it tightly!...He had till now tried to control himself, but now he broke!..he broke into a thousand pieces yet again!...

He sat down on the floor along the table edge and cried loudly!...He cried his heart out!...Hugging the picture tightly!...Tears drenched his face completely!...

"Kyu?...kyu chali gyi tum?.....Kyu chali gyi mujhe chodke?....kaash!...kaash uss din tum meri baat maan leti!...kaash tum kabhi curfew waale din case ladne hi na jaati!..par mujhe garv hai tumpar ki tumne apna kartavya nibhana zyada zaruri samjha tha jaan!..", he talked to the picture!

"Par ab iss sab mein apne pati babu ko toh akela chhod gyi na!...Desh ki aazadi ke liye ladte ladte tum toh chali gyi..", he complained

"Aur mujhe kasam de gyi jeevan bhar Rudhaanshi ke saath rehne ki!...main bhi rehna chaahta hu uske saath!...aakhir jaan hai vo meri..pr tumne vaada kiya tha jeevan bhar saath rahogi!...toh kaise tod diya?...kaise chali gyi apne pati babu ko yahaan akela chhodke!...jaanti ho na kitni yaad aati hai tumhari!...aaj 6 saal baad bhi aansu rukte nhi jaan!...pal pal tumhaari kami si lagti hai!", He remembered his love and the day he lost his life!.....

"Aur Rudhi!..Rudhi ko main daantna nhi chahta tha!...bilkul nhi!...aur lag bhi toh kitni pyaari rhi thi meri shona!...par vo ek dam tum Jaisi dikhti hai na jaan!...jaise tum bachpan mein saree pehen ke ke lagti thi!..bilkul vaisi lagti hai!....aur jaise tum pati babu kehte nhi thakti thi....vo baba ki jagah babu kehti hai mujhe!....tumhara bachpann saaf nazar aata hai mujhe usme!...par ab use yaad krke bas tona hi aata hai!...tumhaari bahut bahut yaad aati hai bas!...", He felt sad for scolding his daughter!...

"Acha thik hai!...main Rudhi se maafi maang lunga!...tum naraaz mat ho!...Aur haan!..Roshogulle bhi khila dunga tumhaari laadli ko!...Bas tum humesha mujhe yu hi muskura ke dekhti rehna!...",he said wiping his tears and smiling a bit!...

In these years, he had aced this art of wiping his own tears!...Smiling after every time he cried!...

He quickly stood up and kissing the picture yet again kept it back on the table.

"Rudhiii!..", he called out, much softly and lovingly this time....he went out of the study looking for his little princess, who sat sad under the dining table resting her chin on her little palms...

"Rudhiii....Shonaa kya hua?", He asked sitting beside her.
She made a grumpy face and puffed her cheeks!...
She was indeed little Bondita!...Anirudh chuckled and picked up Rudhi in his arms and stood up with her.

She turned her face again not wanting to face him and showing her cute little anger!....Anirudh knew he was wrong when he scolded her...he planted plenty of kisses on her little, chubby face!...while she just tried avoiding him!...

She wrapped her hands around his neck and hugged him crying!....He too hugged her tightly and sighed deeply...tears flowing from his eyes too!...
They both cried!

"Sorry Babu!...", She said and hugged him even tighter!...

"No!...I am Sorry Bacchaa!...Sorry shona!...",he said and kissed her cheeks lovingly...

He then took her to the study and made her sit on his lap, while he filled her little mouth with a Roshogulla!...she ate lovingly and fed him too!...they both were each other's only world!....

The whole family gazed upon their favourite people from the study window and cried happy tears!...

Rudhaanshi hugged him tightly and said,"Main aajse aise dobara nhi karungi Babu!...Shottiii!...", She pinched her neck and yet again he chuckled sadly remembering his Bondi!...

"Main bhi dobara kabhi aisa nhi krunga Shona!...", he replied and hugged her tightly patting her head...

He roamed in the study with Rudhi in his arms and patted her to sleep....He had wrapped her in his warm shawl.

He took her to his room and tucked to bed....he too kept his shawl on the couch and slept hugging his princess lovingly!...She was his only happiness now!❤️😘
