The group of five reached home with a victory smile and relief on their faces. They entered the house , chattering and laughing over silly things. Som and Naina entered the house first,Batuk and Anirudh second. Bondita stayed outside to help koyli as she saw her,falling.
After ensuring that koyli was fine ,Bondita was about to enter the house when someone pushed her aside with force. Bondita with the support of the wall prevented herself from falling.She turned around to see who it was when she saw Saudamini sitting on the floor with her hands on her head. She was shocked to see,her like this . Her head was bleeding.

Saudamini- aahh!

Bondita shocked- didi. Didi aap theek hai na?

Saudamini- haa bondita, theek hoon bas..

Bondita- hay bhagwaan,Kitna khoon bheh raha hai. Rukiye zara..

She was about to ask for help when she saw Anirudh running towards them.

Anirudh- Mini. Mini yeh sab kaise hua ? Tum theek ho na? Kitna khoon bhehe raha hai.
Bondita, bondita jao jaake प्राथमिक उपचार पेटी(first aid box), le aao.

Bondita- Abhi laayi.

Bondita rushed to get the box while Anirudh held Saudamini by her shoulders and her hands ,entered haveli. Saudamini with corner of her eyes saw Binoy smiling at her, she smirked a little and went ahead with Anirudh.

Anirudh made Saudamini sit on the sofa and was waiting for Bondita. The other family members stood confused. Batuk and Naina were standing making faces,Som and Kaka were neutral while Koyli and Bihari were whispering among themselves. Only Binoy was smirking and Smiling.

Bondita came rushing towards Anirudh with the first aid box. She handed the box to Anirudh and sat near Saudamini holding her by her shoulders.
Anirudh cleaned the wound and bandaged it.
Bondita asked Koyli to get water for Saudamini. Bondita made Saudamini drink water.

Anirudh- Mini yeh sab kaise hua?
Bondita tum toh wahan thi na ,toh phir yeh sab..

Bondita- Pata nhi pati babu,mein jab ghar ke andar aa rahi thi toh achanak peeche se kisine dhaka diya. Piche mudi toh saudamini didi neeche giri hui thi ,sar pe hath rakhe.

Batuk mummering to Naina- Giri hui cheez giregi nhi toh kya karegi.

Naina to batuk-giri toh giri, saath mein dimag bhi le doobi.

Batuk and Naina giggled to themselves.Som who saw them, came towards them and said - kya khoosur phoosur chal rhi hai tum dono ke beech.

Batuk and Naina franctically- kuch bhi toh nhi.
Som gave a suspicious look and turned his gaze towards Anirudh.

Anirudh- mini ab toh batao kya hua?

Saudamini- Anirudh woh mein jab ghar ke andar aa rhi thi toh maine dekha ki koi Bondita pe pathar maarne jaa rha tha aur Bondita ko Pata bhi nhi tha kyunki woh ghar ke andar ja rhi thi. Bondita ko bachane ke liye meine usse dhaka maara aur pathar ka vaar apne upar le liya.

Bondita- didi aapne mere liye..
Kyun ye sab .. Aapne apni jaan khatre mein kyun daal di?

Saudamini- didi bhi kehti ho aur sawaal bhi poochti ho? Pagal ho kya?

Bondita- par didi..

Saudamini- chup.didi maana hai na , toh choti behen hui na meri.hmm?

Bondita- Haan.

Saudamini- toh apni choti behen ki raksha karna Mera farz hai na ?

Bondita- Haan.

Saudamini- toh bas ab ,koi sawaal nhi.

Bondita-theek hai. Waise aapne meri jaan bachai na .

Saudamini- Haan.

Bondita- Maa kehti hai, jab koi humari raksha karta hai, toh unke beech mein jo rishta hota hai na woh aur mazboot jo jata hai. Aur aap humesha mere saath thi. Isliye mei aapko aaj se Pari didi bulaungi.

Saudamini- kya kaha?

Bondita- pari didi. Bula sakti hoon na ?

Saudamini smiling- zaroor.

Bondita hugged her in happiness. Saudamini was taken aback with sudden hug. She for the first time didn't feel hatred towards bondita. She genuinely smiled and kept a hand on her head patting it.

Anirudh smiled at Bondita's innocence.

Trilochan Kaka prayed to Durga Maa to never snatch Bondita's happiness. Though he didn't like saudamini but if his bahu trusts her so much ,then he prayed ,to never let her trust break on Saudamini.

Som, Naina and batuk were busy giving suspicious looks to Saudamini.

Koyli and bihari always had bad intuition about saudamini. Nevertheless they prayed for their Choti Malkins happiness.

Saudamini whispered in bondita's ears-Ab aur koi sawaal nhi.

Bondita- hmm.
They broke the hug and smiled at each other.

Anirudh,interrupting - par Bondita pe koi kyun vaar karna chahega? Bondita ne kisi ka kya bigada hai?

When Saudamini heard the last sentence, her facial expression changed. Her face again showed the pain and hatred which she had forgotten in these 5 mins.

Som- dada mein Pata lagaunga.

Kaka- Pata lagao aur hume bhi batao ,kon hai woh jisne Roy Chowdhary parivaar ki bahu par hamla kiya. Kisiki itni himmat hui,aisa karne ki.Chodenge nahi hum usko.

Saudamini who heard Kaka secretly gave a look to Binoy.Binoy understanding her ,interrupted while adjusting his specs.

Binoy- Da.Chodiye na yeh sab. Ab jo hua, so hua. Usse hum badal toh nahi sakte na. Khamokham humari hi bizzati hogi.

Anirudh- baba aapko apni izzat ki padi hai? Bondita ke upar vaar hone wala tha. Agar mini waqt par nahi pahunchti toh bondita ko chot lagti. Aur Mini bhale hi bondita ki jaan bachane gyi thi par chot toh usse bhi lagi hai na ? Mujhe yeh sab bardaash nhi. Aap karo apni izzat ki fikar, mein gunhegaqr ko dhund kar hi rahunga.

Kaka- Anirudh sahi keh rha hai. Hum bhi uss insaan ka Pata lagana chahte hain jinse humari bahu par vaar karne ka socha.

Binoy- par daa..

Saudamini- rehne dijiye uncle, Kaka aur Anirudh sahi keh rhe hain.

Saudamini assured Binoy from her eyes that she will take care of the situation.

Kaka- chalo sab apne apne kaamon mein laga jao. Aur saudamini tum ghar jao aur jaake aaram karo.

Saudamini- jii.

Everyone left for their respective work. Saudamini also left towards her house ,thinking something in her mind.

Bondita was also about to leave when Anirudh asked her to make coffee for him. Bondita nodded and went to prepare coffee while Anirudh marched towards his study.

After a while, Bondita entered the study with the cup of coffee in her hands. She saw Anirudh was busy thinking something.

Bondita - yeh lo, aapki coffee.

Anirudh- rakh do.

Bondita- kya soch rhe hain?

Anirudh- aaj jo hua uss baare mein.

Bondita- hmm. Saudamini didi bphot achi hain,unhone meri jaan bachai,agar woh sahi waqt par nhi aati toh,mein toh ab tak upar..

Anirudh,angry- Bondita aisi batein nhi karte.

Bondita- mein toh bas..

Anirudh- Bondita.

Bondita- theek hai ,theek hai. Nahi karunhi aisi baatein. Lekin mein kehene se inkaar nhi karungi ki meri kismat achi thi.

Anirudh- hmm.

Bondita was roaming around the study and touching the book shelf. She took a book out of the shelf ,sat on Anirudhs arm chair and reading it.
Anirudh who saw her,narrowed his eyes but didn't say anything.
He suddenly looked at bondita intently and asked- tumhe padhne ka shok hai?

Bondita, lost in the book-hmm.
Realising what she said,she looked at Anirudh who was already looking at her with a smile. Blood rushed to her cheeks and slight blush appeared.

Bondita- aise kyun dekh rhe hain.

Anirudh- tumhe padhne ka shok hai?

Bondita- nhi woh..

Anirudh- sach bolna. Mujhe jhoot se sakt nafrat hai.

Bondita ,hesitantly- Haan.

Anirudh- kabhi bataya nhi tumne.

Bondita, narrowing her eyes-2 mahine se jaante hai mujhe,itna bhi nhi Pata?Kitni baar toh aapke saamne hi kitab uthake padhi hai meine.

Anirudh- ohh Haan, maaf karna. Woh kya hai na thoda Buddhu hoon mein.

Bondita- woh toh hai.

Anirudh,chuckling-Bondita.

Bondita giggled and soon Happiness engulfed them.

Saudamini who was watching this from her house with the help of binoculars, was angry.

Saudamini- jitna hasna hai Haslo Bondita, kyunki bohot jald tunhari yeh khushi ,dukh mei badalne waali hai.

Suddenly her phone rang. She picked it up and conversed with the person in a professional way.

Saudamini- aa rahi hoon.

Saying this, she went outside the house with some amout of money in her little pouch ,which in those days only Zamindaars and Business Family had an access to.

Person-kaam ,kardiya tha Maine.aap meri rakam dijiye.

Saudamini- Haan layi hoon tumhara inaam.ye loh aur yahan se kahin door chale jao ,kuch Dino ke liye.

Person- par Mera parivaar..

Saudamini- jitna rakam diya hai,tumhare parivaar ka guzara ho jayega. Apne parivaar ke sath chale jao kahin.

Person- theek hai.

Saying this the person and Saudamini left the place.

Back in haveli.

Som- boudi ki kismat achi thi. Warna agar unke upar vaar hota toh ,Pata nhi kya hota?

Batuk- sahi kaha dada. Kismat acchi thi boudi ki. Par ek baat samajh nhi aayi,boudi ke upar koi waar kyun karega. Aur agar karega bhi ,toh Saudamini ka achanak se ussi samay aana....

Naina- sahi kaha batuk tumne. Ab yeh kismat ka khel hai yaa rachi hui saazish,yeh sirf waqt bata sakta hai.

Unknown to them, Binoy heard their conversation. He was worried if their secret would come out. He immediately went to his room and called saudamini. Luckily Saudamini picked up the call and Binoy narrated the whole thing.

Saudamini who heard Binoy was tensed.But she thought that those three[som, naina, batuk] would never get to know about her plan.

Back in haveli.

Anirudh had called every family member in the living room as he wanted to make an announcement.

Kaka- kya hua Anirudh.aise sabko kyun bulaya hai yahan?

Anirudh- Ab jab sab yahan aa chuke hain,mein kuch ailaan karna chahata hoon.

Batuk- Haan dada,hume Pata hai,aap kuch ailaan karna chahte hain isliye aapne hume yaaha bulaya hai. Varna aap konsa apna study chodke yahan aate. Study hi toh aapka ghar hai.

Anirudh twisting his ears- kya kaaha?

Batuk- aa dadaa.. aap hi tih kehte ho sach kaho. Sach kaha toh takleef hui? Kaan chodo na mere..aaaa.

Anirudh- Nalayak.

Batuk,muttering- same to you.

Anirudh- kya?kuch kaha tumne batuk?

Batuk with nervous chuckle- kuch bhi toh nhi.

Kaka- ab bolege bhi?

Anirudh- Meine yeh socha hai ki , bondita aur naina dono hi apni padhai puri karenge.

Kaka- ohh acha ,theek hai.ek sec kya kaha tumne?

Anirudh- meine kaha ki..

Kaka,angrily- arre humne sunnaa ,kya kaha tumne. Pagal ho gye ho kya tum Anirudh. Bahu agar padhne lagegi, toh ghar kon sambhalega? Yeh socha hai tumne Anirudh.

Anirudh- Ladkiyan kya sirf ghar sambhalne ke liye ,jamm liya hai kya ? Kaka Ladkiyan bohot kuch kar sakti hai....
Their fight continued while Naina came towards bondita and stood beside her.

Naina- yeh dada ko achanak kya ho gya?

Bondita- Pata nhi , har din naya roop dekhne ko milta hai.

Naina- woh toh hai.leiim unhe kaise Pata chala ki humari padhai puri nhi hui hai.

Bondita- meine toh sirf itna kaha tha ki, mujhe padhna pasand hai.

Naina- ohh acha. Both turned to look at Kaka and son.

Kaka- Acha theek hai, maan liya ki Ladkiyan padhengi. Par uske liye shikshak ki bhi toh avashakta hai. Shikshak kaaha se dhundoge?

Anirudh- uska intezaam bhi jo gya hai. Mini ko jo adhyapak padhane aata tha,wahi padhane inn dono ko ayega.

Kaka,with rage- kabhi nhi. Humare jeete ji ,aisa kabhi nhi hoga. Hum yeh kabhi swikaar nhi karenge ki ,koi paraya mard humari ladkiyon ko padhane ayega.

Anirudh,with rage- acha toh kon padhayega?yeh bhi bata dijiye.

Kaka-tum kyun nhi padha lete. Vilayat gaye ho na,tumhi padha lo.

Anirudh thought for a while and said - theek hai.

Saudamini heard all of this was very angry. But soon her face converted into smirk and thought something. She gave a evil smile and turned to go back to her house when she saw someone on the threshold of the house.

Saudamini- aap kon?

Hearing her voice everyone turned towards her and looked towards the direction where she was looking.

Bondita and Naina's confused face turned into a very big smile and they exclaimed- Maa! Kaaki Maa!.

Both rushed to hug her. They hugged her tightly. Bondita asked- Maa aap yahaan.

Kaka was not shocked to see a widow in his house. Moreover he knew that she was his beloved bahus mother.

Kaka- Samdhan ji aayiye na.

Anirudh and others were shocked to hear Kaka as they knew that he was very orthodox in nature but what they saw and heard today was shocking.

Kaka- aise kyun dekh rhe hume sab?

Anirudh- aapne abhi kya kaha?

Kaka- kya kaha?

Som- samdhan ji?

Kaka- Haan,toh bahu ki maa hai toh Samdhan hi hui na.

Batuk- par pujniya Kaka shree,aapne achanak se apne rang kaise badal diye.

Kaka- kya Matlab?

Bihari- Bade Mallik,woh Chote mallik aap ko girgit keh rhe hai,woh kya hai na girgit rang badalta hai na.

Kaka,angry-kyaa?

Anirudh- batuk galat nhi keh rha. Aap toh bohot bade roodhivaadee(orthodox) kisam ke vyakyi hain toh phir yeh sab kis liye.Apne hi usoolon aur Paramparaon ka ulanghan kiya aapne?Badi hairaan kar dene waali baat hai.

Kaka- humare liye humari bahu ki khushi sab usoolon aur paramparaon se badh kar hai.

Anirudh, confused- Bahu ki khushi? Bondita ko kya hua?

Kaka-Usko kayi Dino se apni maa ki yaad aa rhi thi. Isliye socha ki uski khushi ke liye ,uski maa ko bulalen.

Anirudh- Bondita tumne mujhe kaha nhi ,mei maa ko le aata. Akele itna lamba raasta maa khud safar karke aayi.kaka ko kaha par mujhe nhi.

Bondita- Maanti hoon ki maa ki yaad aa rgi thi, par meine kaka sasoor ji ko iss baare mein kuch bhi nhi kaha tha.

Kaka- sahi keh rhi hai bahu. Usne hume kuch kaha hi nahi. Hume Pata chal gya tha uske chehere se.Bohot mayoos dikh rhi thi. Ek din dekha toh apni maa ki tastier liye ro rahi thi.

Anirudh nodded understanding the thing and with a warm smile greeted Sumati. He bent down to seek the blessing, sumati was hesitant but still gave him the blessing.

Anirudh- Maa, aap thak gyi hongi na. Bondita maa ko kamre mein le jao.

Bondita happily- Maa ,chal na .

Bondita and Naina took Sumati with her to the room. Binoy and Saudamini exchanged glances. Som left towards his room while Batuk went to kitchen to have something as his stomach was making some weird noises.
Kaka left for his Zamindari work . Koyli and Bihari left for their respective work.

After sometime, saudamini was searching for Bondita when she bumped with Sumati.

Saudamini-kaaki aap theek hain na?

Sumati smiling- Haan beta mein theek hoon. Tum ..

Bondita from behind- aare maa ,tu mil gyi pari didi se.Boho5 avhi hai. Abhi inhi ke baare mein baat kar rahi thi mein Tere se.

Saudamini- acha kya baatein ho rhi thi mere baare mein?

Bondita- arre didi aisa kuch nhi hai woh toh...

Kaka from Mandir- Bahuu.. yahan aana.

Bondita- abhi aayi. Aap log baat kijiye. Mein abhi aayi.

Saudamini and Sumati nodded.

Sumati-beta.

Saudamini - ji kaaki.

Sumati- beta mujhe tere aur jamai babu ke baare mein sab Pata hai.

Saudamini, hesitantly- apko bondita ne..

Sumati- Haan ussne bataya tha.

Saudamini was feeling awkward to converse with. Sumati understood her delimma, and said.

Sumati- waise tumhare ghar mein kon kon hai?

Saudamini- dida aur baba.

Sumati- tunhari maa?

Saudamini sadly smiling- Maa nhi rahi. Unko koi bimari jo gyi thi iss wajah se woh chod ke chali gyi.

Sumati- Ohh.koii baat nhi. Ek na ek din sabko jaana padta hai.

Saudmini nodded in response.

Sumati- dekho beta , mein yeh toh nhi kahungi ki mein tere maa ke samaan hoon par ek maa hone ke naate kahungi ki ,uski in sab mein koi galti nhi hai. Sab kismat ka khel hai.Woh tujhe didi bulati hai,uska dil mat todna beta.
Saying this Sumati left leaving saudamini in pool of thoughts.

Binoy heard all the conversation among the duo.

Binoy thinking-Nahi. Saudamini apne raaste se nhi bhatak sakti. Mein uss ladki ko iss ghar ki bahu kabhi nhi maan sakta. Kabhi nhi. Saudamini se agar mere bete ka vivaajmh hoga toh shaan aue shaukat ke saath saath mere business mein bhi kaafi fayda hoga. Aur iss Fayada ko mein kho nahi sakta. Waise bhi Saudamini Anirudh se pyaar karti hai aur mere bete ki khushi saudamini ke saath hi hai. Aur Saudamini hi wahi ladki hai jo Anirudh ko kranti ke maarg se door rakh sakti hai.
Thinking this he went towards saudamini and said - yahin khadi rahogi yaa kuch sochogi bhi.

Saudamini,confused- kyaa?

Binoy- Saudamini tumhar dhyaan kahan hai, woh ladki dheere dheere Anirudh ke Kareeb jaa rhi hai aur tum door hoti jaa rhi ho. Kya kar rahi ho tum. Uski zindagi aur dil aur dimag mein uss Bondita ka naam hai.Jab dekho sirf Bondita ko ray lagaye baitha hai. Tum usse khona chati jo?Tum mere bete se pyaar bhi karti hobya nahi yaa woh sab sirf ek dikhawa tha?

Saudamini-Nahi.Aisa nhi hai. Mein Anirudh se sache dol se pyaar karti hoon. Woh sirf mera hai. Uski zindagi and dil aur dimaag mein sirf mera Naam hoga. Sirf saudamini ka , aur kisi ka nahi.

Binoy - yoh aage kya karna haiz kuch socha hai?

Saudamini with smirk- socha nhi ,soch liya hai.

The next day morning was gloomy because Sumati maa had to leave for her house. Both the girls ime. Naina and Bondita were crying. They didn't want to let her go but they had to do so. The girls and the boys took blessings from her and Sumati maa left for Devipur.

Anirudh saw that Bondita was sad. To cheer her up he mood he said- Bondita. Maa ke paas mein tumhe leke jaunga. Mera Vanada hai. Maa 2 gaon chod ke hi toh rehti hai.

Bondita- aapko kya Pata ki mujhe kaisa lag rha hai. Ek ladki Jab vivaah ke baad ghar chodke aati hai na toh apne saath bas kuch yaadein le kar aati hai aur kuch nhi.Aap ke paas Pura parivaar hai par Maa ke paas koi bhi nhi. Mama maami apne hoke bhi apne nhi. Samaj maa ko taane suna suna kar parsshaan kardeta hai.

Anirudh - acha baba mera Vanda hai ki mei tumhe maa ke paas le jaunga.

Bondita- shotti.

Anirudh smiling- shotti.

Bondita was about to leave when Anirudh said- kahan jaa rhi ho?

Bondita,confused- kaam karne.

Anirudh- tum kaam nhi karogi.

Bondita- toh ,kya karoon. Nachoon?

Anirudh- nahi.Tum padhai karogi.

Bondita- ohh Haan. Mein toh bhool gyi thi.

Anirudh- ab yaad aaya na. Jao jaake Naina ko bula lao.

Bondita happily- abhi aayi.
Saying this hurriedly ran.

Anirudh- sambhal ke. Pagal ladki.

After sometime, both the girls were sitting in the study while Anirudh was writing something on the blackboard.

Anirudh- tum dono ko hindi toh aati hai, ab mein tum dono ko angrezi sikhaunga.theek hai ?

Theek hai- both the girls said together.

They were studying happily when they heard a loud voice.
