Everything has a limit, even your pains, and troubles!!!

Tupur was already bearing lots of pain, but the discoveries broke her patience of bearing it..... all the limits were crossed, thus. she took an unexpected step.... she shot her own husband... the only cause of her pain.... 

The gun fell from her hand as tears rolled down her half-burnt face and she too fell on her knees near her husband..... Chndrachoor was still breathing heavily maybe taking his last breaths.... gathering a lot of courage, he spoke, "ye kya kiya tumne Tupur.... to which Tupur looked at him angrily with a tinge of pain and brought her wrists forward and broke all her bangles in front of his half-opened eyes and chokingly said, "kaash Bondita se irshya karne ki bajae usse himmat li hoti to bohot pehle hi kr chuki hoti ye....." Chandrachoor smiled at her and folded his hands in front of her and said, "ho sake to.....maaf kr dena mujhe Tup..." he couldn't finish his words as he took his last breath. his folded hands fell down and closed his eyes forever....... Tupur cried her heart out, no matter what he did with her, he was her husband.... Bondita and Tapur ran to her and hugged her tightly to console her.... thought they themselves were crying.... 

All of them were having their eyes moist..... Anirudh gestured to the men standing behind them to take Chandrachoor's body..... everyone went to Tupur and consoled her.... she smiled seeing that no matter what, her family will always stay by her side....."aap sab chinta mat kijiye... mein theek hoon... aaj khul ke saans li h mene..." Thaku maa patted her head and they all stood up!!

Anirudh and Bondita looked at each other and smiled a bit.... and finally, Bondita spoke dragging their attention, "ab to dekh liya na aap sabne.... aag ghar ke bhedi ne lagayi or uss aag mein na jaane kitne bekasoor jhulas gaye... do parivaar ek doosre ke khilaaf khade ho gaye bina kisi wajah.... ab to ye dushmani khatam ho gi na??"

Anirudh nodded his head in agreement and said "Tulsipur ki taraf se ye dushmani mein khud khatam karta hoon..... Krishnanagar ka faisla Thaku maa sunaegi..." Bondita smiled and looked at Thaku maa for her approval.... 

"jab koi kaaran hi nahi dushmani ka... to dushmani kis cheez ke liye nibhaaye hum...." Thaku maa too spoke making all of them happy...... Bondita and Anirudh looked at each other with a wide grin..... Anirudh took his steps towards Bondita but Thaku maa stopped him....

"rukiye Barrister babu.... humaari dushmani khatam hui h.... pr mujhe aapka or Bondita ka ye rishta abhi bhi manzoor nahi.... aapki shaadi uss dakshin bhartiya ladki se hui h.... to uske paas jaiye"

"arrey ye hi to h vo dakshin bhartiya ladki.... Vaijanti...." everyone looked at the door listening to the voice...... and there kaka was standing all stunned as now only he saw her face.... till now she was facing her back to them... or sometimes somebody use to come in front of her..... he was shocked to see Vaijanti there...... 

He took his steps ahead looking at her with his eyes wide open...."beta Bejanti... tum yaha kya kar rahi ho?? tumhe to apne ghar hona chahiye na??" 

"ye kesi baatein kr rahe h aap zameendaar babu?? ye isi ka ghar h..... or ye koi Bejanti nahi h...." kaka looked at Thaku maa all confused.... then he glanced at Anirudh and Bondita who were silently giggling downing their head...... he again asked, "koi hume bataega yaha ho kya raha h??"

Anirudh looked at him and finally spoke, "kaka.... mene shaadi Bondita se ki h.... mein pyaar bhi usi se hi krta hoon.... jo aap logo ne mere or Vaijanti ke baare mein socha... vo bilkul galat nahi tha.... mein usi ladki se pyaar krta hoon....."

"arrey tu paagal h kya?? kabhi kehta h... Bondita  se pyaar krta hoon... kabhi kehta h Vaijanti se pyaar krta hoon..... saaf saaf bolna..." kaka shouted being irritated with his jalebi kind of talks.....

Anirudh sighed and said, "kaka Bondita or Vaijanti ek hi h.... Bondita hi vo Vaijanti h jise aapne mere liye chuna tha.... "

Kaka's eyes popped out and he looked at Bondita, to which she smiled and folded her hands bowing her head down and mimicked her south Indian accent, "vanakkam kaka.... mein Vaijanti.... aapki bahu Bondita..."

Kaka held his head and dramatically rolled it as if he was losing his consciousness..... Anirudh held him and concernedly said, "aap theek to h kaka??" he looked at him and whispered, "tu jaanta tha ki ye Bondita h...." and in return Anirudh just smiled nervously and scratched his neck and nodded his head.....

"Hey Dugga maa!!! humaare bache humaare saath hi khel khel gaye?? arrey jab pta tha to hume bataya kyu nahi??" kaka got angry on him, thus, shouted......

Ani: shaant shaant kaka, shaant ho jaiye, attack aa jaega budhape mein... 

And immediately he got a smack on his head while others giggled and he stuck his tongue out.... ...."maaf kriye kaka.... pr sach to ye h ki iss dushmani ke chalte  aapko ya kisi ko bhi batana mujhe sahi nahi laga".....

kaka: arrey hume hi batana sahi nahi smjha tune??

Ani: ek baar thande dimaag se sochiye kaka... mein bata deta ki Bondita Vaijanti ban kr humaare ghar mein reh rahi h to aap kya krte?? Tulsipur waale kya krte??

kaka thought for a while and chokingly said downing his head, "maar dete ise..." a drop of tear rolled down his cheeks saying such words about her.....

Anirudh chuckled and said, "vahi to kaka... aap sab apni dushmani me itne andhe ho gaye the ki kisi ko maarne se pehle aap apna rishta tak nahi dekhte the saamne waale ke saath..... fir chahe vo aapki bahu hi kyun na ho..... aap maar dete use... pr mein apni jaan ko kese marne deta kaka....." kaka looked at him and tearfully smiled.....

TM: iska matlab tumne humaari Bondita ko dhoka nhi diya???

Ani: nahi Thaku maa... mein esa soch bhi nahi skta.... mein Bondita se hi pyaar krta  hoon.... or in sabko laga ki mein jagnanathan ji ki beti Vaijanti se pyaar krta hoon..... ab to aapko humaare rishte se koi dikkat nahi h na??

Sum: pr tum dono ne shaadi kab ki???

Bon: Darjeeling me maa..... kal hi laute h hum wahan se.... 

Kaka smacked Anirudh's shoulder and said, "tu wahan kaam se gaya tha ya shaadi krne gaya tha??" 

and once again he just smiled sheepishly looking down..... and kaka sighed shaking his head from right to left and vice versa....."chalo jo hua , acha hua...." kaka smiled looking at the couple.....

Bon: matlab aapko koi dikkat nahi h mere aapki bahu hone se??

Kaka's eyes teared up and he kept his hand on her head, "pehle batati to shayad bohot dikkat hoti pr ab nahi h.... hume manzoor h tum dono ki shaadi... "

Ani: ab aap bhi bata dijiye Thaku maa or Sumati Maa..... (he looked at them with pleading eyes)

TM: jab miya biwi raazi to kya karega kaazi....

Sum: agar meri bacchi khush h or Tulsipur or Krishnanagar ke beech sab theek h to mujhe bhi dikkat nahi h.....

Bondita gave a wide grin to Anirudh and started jumping like a little kid...... everyone smiled at them..... but kaka fake coughed...."ugh ugh!! bahu!!!" making Bondita stand straight and bit her tongue.....

Thaku maa: ant bhala to sab bhala..... 

Just then Sampoorna took her steps ahead moving emotionally towards Bondita... "abhi ant nahi hua h Thaku maa....." and her sudden statement stunned everyone.....

She came and joined her hands which Bondita immediately held...."didi ye...."

Samp: nahi Bondita.... aaj teri didi nahi.... Roy chaudhriyon ki badi bahu, or Anirudh ki Sampoorna maa baar karegi..... sabse pehle to bina kisi baat ke tujhe bhi iss dushmani ka hissa bana diya uske liye poore Roy Chaudhry parivaar ki taraf se maafi maangti hoon..... maaf krde hume Bondita....

Bondita smiled emotionally looking at her teary eyes , kaka too came forward and stood with Sampoorna "hume bhi maaf krdo bahu.... in sabke chakkaron mein itne andhe ho gaye ki acche or bure ki parakh krna hi bhool gaye..... apni bahu ki jagah kisi or ko dene chale the... maaf krdo hume beta...." he too joined his hands bowing his head down.... Bondita downed both of their hands and said, "kaka sasurji, Sampoorna didi bado ka haath aashirvaad dene ke liye uthta h, ya to galti krne par saza dene ke liye.... or dono me choto ki bhalayi hi chupi hoti h..... ye haath agar judne lage to hume accha lagega kya?? paap chadaenge apni Bondita ko??" she looked at Anirudh and laughed a bit and said, "poora dhaai kilo paap chadega...." to which he too laughed accompanied by others.....

kaka kept his hand on her head again and said, "kis mitti ki bani ho tum bahu..... kher.... tumne hume maaf kiya to humaare man se maano ek bojh halka ho gaya...."

Samp: haan Bondita.... hume maaf krne ke liye dhanyawaad.... ab doosri or ahem baat....

She turned around to face everyone and said, "aaj Anirudh ki maa hone ke naate.... ek ahem zimmedari poori krna chahti hoon me....." all of them looked at her confusingly.... she smiled and to clear their confusions she went towards Thaku maa and Sumati maa and said, "apne bete ke liye aapki beti ka haath maangna chahti hoon.... boliye... denge apni sabse kimti amaanat hume??"

Everyone smiled looking at each other but once again our beloved Barrister Babu poked his nose in between, "pr iski kya zaroorat h Sampoorna maa?? humaari to shaadi ho chuki h... bas ab Bondita ko apne saath lekr chalte h na...." Bondita giggled looking at his restlesness...

kaka came and held his ears and said, "arrey oh utaawle babu... zara dharti pr aa jao waapas.... ek to chupke shaadi krli.... or ab hume sikha rahe ho.... Barrister babu hoge duniya ke liye, humaare saamne aaj bhi tumhaari nahi chalegi samjhe..." 

Anirudh winced and Bondita made weird faces seeing her husband getting punishment, "aah kaka, chod dijiye... mere sasuraal mein kya izzat reh jaegi meri..... chod dijiye please..."

"hmm... theek h...." he left his ears and said, "hum chahte h Anirudh or Bondita ka vivaah fir se kiya jaaye, poore vidhi vidhaan ke saath.... kya kehti h Thaku maa??" kaka asked her opinion...

TM: bilkul sahi kaha apane kaka...

kaka made a wierd face and said, "hum aapke kaka thodi na lagte h..."

and Thaku maa immediately snapped him back angrily, "to kya mein aapki Thaku maa lagti hoon??" 

and once again the whole room filled with laughter..... everyone was happy.....kaka's eyes went on Tupur, who was also laughing with them forgetting her pain, he smiled and once again dragged everyone's attention towards him, "pr iss ghar se ek nahi do doli uthegi...."

and once again everyone's face turned confused, "lya kehna chahte h zamindaar babu??" Thaku maa asked

kaka: Kalindi jii Sampoorna bahu ne Bondita ka haath Anirudh ke liye maanga h, hum aapki poti Tupur ka haath apne bete Somnath ke liye maangte h....

And this shocked everyone.....

TM: ye aap kya keh rahe h zamindaar babu?? Tupur vivah kese kr skti h??? vo vidhwa h...

Ani: kyun nahi kr skti Thaku maa?? uska vivah ek hevaan se zabardasti karaya gaya isme uska dosh to nahi....... use bhi khush rehne ka adhikaar h.... or mein kaka ki baat se bilkul sehmat hoon... aaj jo bhi uske saath hua, kahi na kahi mein hi uska zimmedar hoon to uske hisse ki khushiyan lautane ka farz bhi mera hi h.... mein aone bhai ke liye aapki Tupur ka saath maangta hoon....

Tupur: nahi jamaai babu.... esa mat kariye..... meri jholi mein khushiyan bharne ke liye apne bhai ki khushiyan kyun maar  rahe h?? unka kya dosh h in sabme?? ek to mein vidhwa.... upar se chehra bhi jala hua... esi aurat ko kyun bhai ke palle bandh rahe h.....

Ani: pr Tupur....

Som: mujhe manzoor h ye vivah.....

Finally Som came ahead..... and directly went to Bondita not able to meet her eyes..... so looked down and said, "baudi maaf kr dijiye mujhe... sabse zyada to mere hi man aapke liye zeher ghula tha.... bina baat ka...."

Bon: nahi Som dada kesi baat kr rahe h.... jo bhi hua vo haalat ka kiya dhara tha.... aap sab maafi kyun maang rahe h.... aap to dada h mere..... aur bade dada ka to hak hota h apni choti behen ko bhala bura suna ke unhe tang krne ka..... 

He looked at her and chuckled and said, "agar mujhe maaf krdiya aapne to fir keh dijiye apni behen se ki krle mujhse vivaah.... aapke maafi ke badle khoob khushiyan doonga use..."

Bon: nahi Som dada.... mujhe meri maafi ke badle nahi chahiye ki aap usse vivaah kare.... aap apne dil se bataiye...

Som: dil se hi bata raha hoon.... aaj uski himmat dekh kr... (he downed his head and blushed) mujhe pasand aa gayi aapki behen..... uski khoobsurti ne nahi, uske sahas ne mujhe aakrashit kr liya.....

And once again there was a wide grin spread on everyone's face.....

TM: theek h, to fir hume bhi manzoor h ye dono rishte.... apni bacchi ki jhli mein khushiyan aana kise bura lagega....

kaka: arrey waah waah waah... ye to bohot acha hua... too fir ye tay raha thaku.... aa...mera matlab h Kalindi ji, ki kal hum aapke ghar shagun le kr aenge or aaj se theek ek mahine baad aapke ghar ek nahi do do baarat ke kr aenge hum.....

TM: jii... hum intezaar karenge

Som: kaka aapne Baudi or Tupur ka to dekh liya pr Vaijanti ka kya?? use bhi to dekhna hoga na.... aakhir rishta to aap usi se pakka krke aae the na.....

Kaka thought deeply and looked at Anorudh as if asking him to marry her but Anirudh immediately got alerted and went behind Bondita and raised his hands in defeat

Ani: idhar na dekhiye kaka.... mein shaadi shuda hoon... biwi h meri.....

kaka looked at Som and they both busted in laughter seeing his cuteness....."arrey to hum kaha tujhe kuch keh rahe  the.... hum baat kr lenge Jaganathan ji se.... tum chinta na kro

Anirudh sighed in relief and Bondita giggled seeing the unnecessary sweat beads on his head.... and muttered, "buddhu babu!!" and giggled behind her palm... while he frowned at her.....

Everyone congratulated each other happily and the heated environment turned into immense happiness everywhere..... both the couples headed towards the elders and touched their feet in couple form..... while they blessed them wholeheartedly..... 

Kaka emotionally gestured his children to come to him which they obeyed and he took all the four in a family love-filled hug.......
