Koyli and Bihari , came excitedly with the necessary items after they heard their Bade Maalik.

Koyli smiled and was about to move forward when Bihari stopped and said: Hum kaise maan le ki yeh humari choti Maalkin hai. Humari Maalkin to 15 saal ki thi. Unchai mein bhi kam thi.

Kaka hit his forehead while Binoy sighed. Bondita and others giggled while Anirudh frowned.

Anirudh, sarcastically: Bihari, 10 saal beet gye hai. Bondita abhi bhi choti thodi na rahegi.

Bihari: toh yeh batayiye ki Bondita Bahurani hume kya bulati thi.

Bondita: Bhari babu.

Bihari eyes widened and he clapped his hands in excitement and said: Koyli bahurani jii aayi hai. Khadi kyun ho. Aarti utaro na.

Koyli frowned and glared him.
She smiled at Bondita with tearful eyes and did Aarti.

Bondita stepped inside the house after 10 long years. Her eyes turned moist as she saw that everything was same as she left. She bent down and took the blessings of Kaka and Binoy. Binoy hugged Bondita and caressed her hairs.

Binoy: apne baba ko chodke koi jaata hai kya?

Bondita holding her ears apologised and smiled.

Koyli and Bihari were about to move away when Bondita stopped them. She bent down to take blessings , but both of them stepped back.

Bihari: bahu raani ji aap yeh kya kar rhi hai? Hum thehre naukar..

Bondita: Khabardaar agar apne kabhi apne aap ko naukar kaha toh. Aap iss parivaar ka hisaa hai. Aashirvaad nhi denge apni bahu raani ko?

Koyli: Par Maalkin hum kaise?

Bondita: Jab peheli baar iss ghar mein aayi thi toh Som dada ke baad aap dono ne hi mujhe apnaya tha. Tab se aap dono ka aur mera rishta jud gaya hai. Nhi denge ashirwaad?

Koyli and Bihari looked at eachother and then at Kaka who silently nodded with a smile.

They happily gave her the blessing.

Kaka: Jao jaake aaram karo chaaron ke charon. Thak gye honge na.

Batuk: Kaka sirf dada aur boudi hi kyun. Mein bhi thak haar ke aaya hoon. Mujhse bhi pucho zara.

Kaka: Humare paas itna samay nhi hai.
Jao soh jao.

Batuk : Meri patni Pata nhi kab aayegi. Hey bhagwaan meri bhaiyon ki zindagi sawaar di mere se kya dushmani hai.

Som: Zameen se pehele uug le.

Batuk frowned and went while the others laughed.

Kaka: Anirudh ab toh tu study mein nhi soyega na.

Bondita teasingly: Haan wahi toh sote hai. Warna aur kahan soyenge?

Anirudh: Nahi kyun?.. mera Matlab hai ki bekaar mein electricity waste hoga na. Hum dono ek hi kamre mein so jayenge.

All : Ek kamre mein..hmmm.
Bondita giggled and blushingly went upstairs.

Anirudh blushed profusely and clearing his throat said: So jao. Raat bohot ho gyi hai.

He too went upstairs and while rest of them laughed and retired to their rooms.

Bondita opened her door and was surprised to see that everything was at its place. Memories flooded in her mind and she touched everything slightly as tears fell from her eyes.

Anirudh : Sab waise ka waisa hai. Kissi ko naahi iss kamre mein aane diya aur naahi chunne. Sivay mere.

Bondita turned and looked at him with a smile.
