Anirudh was crying without turning, his own words were stabbing him and feeligs were embarrassing him. He was unable to bear the embarassment and face anyone especially Bondita.

Trilochan also lost his balance but Som and Bihari were holding him tight enough.

He couldn’t think of that, he thought his son has completely accepted his Bondita, her innocence, her pure heart, her maturity, her understanding, her wit, her tarqs, her always standing beside him, her selfless nature, how she is always ready to do anything for loved ones as well others, her taking a stand for the right no matter what it costs, her devotion towards him and his family, her caring nature and all her qualities but, but, but his son preferred something else.

He was experienced, old and mature enough to understand that thing is required to strengthen the marital bond and a child make the bond stronger and that’s why he was forcing Anirudh but his orthodox mind couldn’t consider Bondita’s age as it was normal for him and society but he also belived that his son is different but no he’s not.

He was worried about Bondita when Saudamini was playing foul and trying to snatch Anirudh from Bondita, he tried to make her understand but he failed to make a little girl  understand such complications of a husband-wife relationship so he himself jumped in between and tried everything to stop Anirudh from advancing towards Saudamini. He always considered Bondita his only bahu, he never wanted anyone else in Anirudh's life, he knew she was the only one to soothe his soul but what about calming his ........

His experienced eye couldn’t even guess there’s something already going on between them. He couldn’t even guess if Anirudh knew Manorama already that too like this. Maybe he trusted his son way too much in case of his being a loyal husband of Bondita. But his experienced eyes couldn’t understand the way he understood in case of Saudamini, how could he, after all Manorama is smarter than Saudamini and more than that Anirudh was interested more in Manorama than Saudamini.

Sumati was numb, she was hearing all these secrets of her “Heera Jamai Babu”. She would have clearly denied all these facts and termed those as allegation if not her jamaibabu himself confessed all these. Guilt started overpowering her. She was standing stupefied until a voice broke the silence, “Aage bataiye BarristerBabu” it was none other than Bondita.

“Bondita fir meri mulakaat Manorama se us baarish ki raat huyi. Wo mere saamne ek prastaav leke khadi thi ki wo tumhari school ki fees bhar sakti hai agar mai uski madad karun uski muhim me. Mujhe ye prastaav pasand aaya Bondita par us din mera man aur v utsuk hua tha Manorama ke baare me aur v janne ke liye. Maine usse ye kaha ki hame thodi aur jaan pehchan badhani chahiye par usne turant tikha jawab diya ki jaan pehchan badhane ki jarurat nhi par mujhe aur v Acha laga uska wo tikha andaaz aur maine use ghar chodne ka v prastaav diya aur kaaran bataya us tez baarish me ek chaate ka hona, Manorama ki chatri hawa se ud gayi thi aur maine use apne chhate me liya tha par usne taal diya tha. Aur usi din maine use wo naam diya tha Bondita “Aazadi Express”.

Uske baad mai muhim ka hissa ban chuka tha aur Manorama mujhe training de rahi thi aur waha mai usse aur zyada prabhavit ho gya tha Bondita fir meri muhim huyi uske saath aur us din mujhe ehsaas hua ki mai Manorama ke liye kafi kuch alag mahsoos karne laga hoon. Mujhe bura laga Bondita jab Manorama un sab ke bich naach rahi thi us mele me muhim ke din jab tumne meri jaan bachayi thi aag ki parwaah na karte huye.

Fir us muhim ke baad bahut kuch badal gya Bondita. Manorama ek ehsaas ki tarah reh gyi thi mere dimaag me aur us ehsaas ko maine apni diary me utarne ki koshis ki.

Fir meri mulakaat ghar me hamari… .. hamari vivaah varshiki ke din huyi. Mujhe hairani ke sath sath khushi v huyi bahut par samajh nhi paa raha tha kyun. Tumne jab galti se Manorama ke upar vase giraya to v mujhe bahut gussa aaya par fir v mujhe samajh nhi aaya kyun aur sayad usi gusse ke kaaran mai tumpe waise baras pada Bondita, us asanvedanshil tarike se maine apni shadi ki sachayi sabke samne rakh di, ye v nhi socha ki tum par kya beetegi. Mujhe maaf kar do Bondita, please, mai ye nhi karna chahta tha mujhse ho gya wo pata nhi kyun kis baat ki wajah se itna gussa aa raha tha ki mai apna aapa kho baitha.”
