One week before Mahalaya, Fanibhushan's mother came, decked in goyna and saree, and a rosogolla r bhaar. You and Byomkesh were discussing pujo plans. "Ei ebar kintu oi thakur ta dekhtei hobe. Sunechi protima ta naki khub e sundor goreche", went on Byomkesh when he stopped seeing his house's trusted poricharok carrying heaps of organza-silk wrapped gifts. "Kar jonno go?" "Totto eshe, totto" and saying that he left. Byomkesh's sixth sense and ur limitless koutuhol lead you to enter your mother's room, and upon entering you saw Fanibhushan's mother, saying "Amar chele na bileti school theke degree kore eneche. Bohut naam daak or, janoi toh, kintu babar byabsa samlano okhan theke praye osombhob. Tao o bilet thekei samlachilo, kintu amar gaater byatha bereche shune o nijei chole elo okhan theke. Biye tiye hoye ni ekhono, "Aah, ma tumio na" he'd say, while his mom would continue, "Onekdin e bhabchi ekta bhalo qutum(in-laws) bari pelei biye ta diye debo" to which she'd look at your mom, flashing a knowing smile. Shed smile in unison too, and as Fanibhushan would look at you, you looked at Byomkeshda, seeing him already glancing at you, taking a deep breath and then sighing it out. You'd signal a "Bachao please byomda" look and obviously hed decipher that within a second, hatching a plan to help you get out of that uncomfortable situation at once.
"Jor bachaan bachale, Byomkesh da, tumi na thakle amar je ki hoto"-
"Ki aar hoto, oi haada ta topor pore eshe toke kone baniye niye chole jeto"
"Dhyaat, ki je bolo na uff, oi kyabla, ma er aanchol dhora chele ke ami moteo biye korchi na, aar or boyesh ta dekhecho? Babawww oi buro ta ke biye kori aar ki"
"Tahole amio toh buro, tai na" he muttered, fixing the sleeve of his panjabi absentmindedly.
"Kichu bolle, tumi Byomkesh da? Oh, tumi? Tumi toh bodho buro ekta. Tomar biye te ekta petni r songe biye koro, tomar pochonder bou paowa ta kothin-"
"Aar jodi boli, ami toke chai? Tokhon? Amar rong kora gaach kouto dhorbi tahole? Tor sitithe amar siduur porbi?" he spilled out, his voice cracking slightly, his eyes looking directly into yours for a moment, and u being unable to tear ur gaze from his light brown iris, stared back.
Your mind buzzed with uncertainty, filled with endless questions and doubts. You were on the cold steps of the thakurdalan, the place where most of ur childhood was spent, with him. And now, again, u stand on these steps, a full circle. The wind blew at your face, ur lips trembling, your mind numb at the answer.
"Tomar...bou? Mane ami..."
"Ami kalke Shimla jachi, case er jonno. Client ei bhromon er poisa chukiye diyeche, na gele khepe jabe. Ami kal sokal rouna debo. Phirbo Mahalaya te. Tar age kintu oi sample ta ke hai bole dish na, ma amar. Jai, ekhon aar toke byatibasto korbo na."
Saying that, he pinches your cheek, and sighs out loud, as if he going to Shimla physically pained him. "Jeyeo na, Byomkesh da, tumi chole gele amaye ke dekhbe, oi fanidadu r theke ke rokha korbe?" But you couldnt bring yourself to say anything other than a suppressed nod, almost tearing up at his love-struck confession.
You barged into your mom's room, and saw Fanibhushan and his mom still standing. His brows shuffled, to see ur eyes red from tears you held back.
"Ektu kotha bolte pari?" he announces, as both mothers look up at you in surprise. You roll ur eyes, and nodded. "Hai, nischoi, Fanibabu"
"Ektu baire gele bhalo hoto"
"Ja bolar ekhanei bolun." you say, ur tone indifferent.
"Na, na, tahole thak, he mutters, a bit disappointed.
"Tahole ashi" you replied, and frantically let out a sigh of relief as u locked urself in your room, unable to process whatever happened in the span of just a few hours.
Later that night, Byomkesh entered ur room, wearing the same white shawl he wore as he disguised as a sheep when you were kids. "Ei, Satya", he whispered through the grill of your window, "dorja ta khol."
"Jah baba, eta emni e toh bola jaye naki? Buro boyeshe bhimroti hoyeche naki tomar?" you replied, shaking your head, almost annoyed, but amused.
He enters your room, looking suspiciously behind, as if someone was following him.
"Ki khujcho?"
"Kake bol. Oi lok ta bodhhoy amaye follow korchilo!"
"Ke, tomar case r keu? Uff tai boli eto jhukki niyo na sobsomoye-"
He immediately pulled you close to him, his hand resting on your waist.
"Nijekei jodi na rokha korte pari, amar Satya r ke rokha korbe, hmm?"
"Ish ish, charo, keu dheke phelbe-" you chime in but you were cut short with his hand on your lips.
"Toke aador korbo, Satya?"
Your eyes soften at his request, pulling him closer with the collar of his saada panjabi.
His eyes flick to your lips then your eyes, caressing ur lower lip as he pulls you in for a kiss, claiming your mouth completely. It was far from something soft, it was primal, it was fueled by years of not being able to hold you, as his. His hands found the back of your neck, his touch possessive, pulling you in deeper, while your hands shuffled between the soft waves of his hair. A soft sigh leaves you as he bites ur tongue softly.
You pulled away, gasping for breath.
He looks at you, his hair all disheveled, his kurta messy, your cheeks flushed, breathing in disorganized spurts.
You tried to speak, but were at a loss of words,when he placed a jade ring in your suuch shutor baksho.
"Ei aangti ta rekhe jachi. Tui jodi sokaler prostaab e hai bolish, taholei porish. Nahole bhenge dish" and with that, he leaned in and kissed your temple, lingering there for a beat, contemplating before he pulled away, smiling like an idiot in love.
“You’re going to ruin me, and you don’t even know it.”, he said, and you couldn't help ur eyes tracing over his strong well built features as he turned away, closing the door as he left.
The next morning, you left to go visit the Ghats, to offer prayers. It was your Byomkeshda's first time going out of the city to solve a crime. You hoped he wouldn't leave, but reassured yourself that you'd convince your mother that whatever happens, your paka kotha(marriage dates) will be discussed with Byomkeshda and Byomkeshda only. You pleated the pretty pastel lilac colored saree that Byomkesh had gifted you on your birthday, and wore ur hair in a gajra. Your hands adorned a set of kashmiri kaanch er churi, and ur eyes were laden with kohl.
You come home, frantically out of breath to be in time before Byomkesh left for his train.
You entered your room to see Fanibhushan tampering with your suuch shutor baksho.
"Ki korchen, Fanibabu! Apni amar ghore keno?" you exclaim, after carefully placing the kaashar thala, containing prosaad.
"Amaye biye koro, doya kore amar cheler ma howo, ami tomake onek shonar haar kine debo, tumi sudhu ekta sujog dao"
"Ki bolchen Fanibabu! Ami apnar bou?? Apnar keno mone holo je ami apnar ma r aana prostaab e hai bolechi? Kokhonoi na, ami apnake bhalobashi na! Amar esob shona tona chai na."
"Hai tomar toh oi khyapa tar angti chai na? Hai? Amar modhye ki nei ja or ache? Na na, tumi bolo, ami biletpherot, amar eto poisa..."
"Bishash korun, ami chai na apnar poisa. Ami apnake bhalobashi na, aar poisa diyeo amar bhalobasha apni kinte parben na. Ami chai na..."
"Hai tomar toh ei phaltu imitation ring ta chai oi pagla tar kach theke" and with that he threw a greenish jade ring that byomkesh gifted you last night, away.
"Tomar moto beshha r songe prem koratai bhul hoyeche-" he replied, spitting on the ring. He came closer to you, smudging the pujor tip, saying "pujo koreii ba ki hobe, magi, magi e theke jaye" and then left throwing his shawl and the bracelet he wore, at your face.
"Ki reee Bhootu, kothaye tui" said Byomkesh, his voice reverberating through the hall, and his footsteps closing near, as he enters your room.
"Ekiii! Tui..tui eibhabe? Tor pujor teep ta ke ghete dilo? T..tor hathe ki Fani r bracelet aar..eta..aa..or shawl na? His face crimson with rage
"Please Byomkeshda, amar kotha ta shono ekbar, ami pujo dite giye dekhi je.."your fingers grasping at his saada punjabi.
"Ei angti ta ami toke ene diyechilam na kal rattire...Satya...tumi eta...ami ekdom bhabte...ami aschi...amar deri hoye jache..."
"Jeo na, please, Byomda, please amar kotha ta ektu sune jao"
"Ki sunbo, Satya? Tor kopaler makha tip, haathe shonar bracelet, Fanir shawl, amaye tui ki bojhate chaichish? Je tui dhyamna tar songe sush ni? Je oi pisaach ta tor mon ke dhongsho kore deye ni? TUI CHASH KI BOLTE, SATYA?? he shouts, voice cracking mid-sentence, his hand on your shoulders, shaking you violently.
"Pleasee, tomar jonno prosaad enechilam, byomkeshda- you say, your legs giving way, as u sprawl on the cold marble floor, holding onto the last pieces of the ring, the broken jade making your hands bleed.
But before you could finish that sentence, he left, closing the door behind him.
"Aaj jane ki zidd na karo", you murmur the song's tone, tears pooling at your eyes, your hands trembling, trying to grasp at the remnant air particles, for as he felt a vacuum formed where he once stood.
"Aaj jaane ki zidd na karo..."
