Their life. She was in love with Shaumik Das. Younger brother of Arvind. Shaumik also loved Suparna but their love story was hidden from everyone. Even from their family. Drowning in each other's love eventually they crossed the line of decency. Although, before evolving in intimacy, Shaumik promised to marry her but When it came time to fulfill this. He stepped back. Suparna became pregnant. getting this news Shaumik started avoiding her. He was too scared to disclose about his relationship with Suparna to his family. Especially to his Pishi maa Kalindi Das. He just learnt to nodded head with his Pishi maa, without any word. That's what he did. Kalindi fixed his marriage with another girl and he nodded in agreement. Suparna requested him, Begged him to marry her but Shaumik showed her his back . She left helpless. To whom she would go! Her brothers loved her beyond limits. If they get to know about this, they will be devastated. And moreover her family's reputation would be at stake. With all this thought Suparna committed suicide on the day of Shaumik's marriage.

Since she knew how to read and write. Before her death, she wrote down everything in a letter. Neither Trilochan nor Binoy was able to accept their sister's death. After knowing the reason of her drastic step , none of them could stay calm. Trilochan went to the wedding venue of Shaumik with dead body of Suparna in his arms and kept the corpse infront of them. When he told them everything, anger rushed through Arvind's veins. He also loved Suparna as his own sister. Passing a detestable look to his brother, He beat him mercilessly untill Kalindi prevented him. Kalindi remarked that that's normal for men. A man can do whatever he wants. But as a girl , Suparna should have been careful before doing such heinous acts. she deserved this for crossing the limits of a woman must to follow.

Trilochan lost his control. when Shaumik proceeded for the marriage rituals, Trilochan shot him and Shaumik died on the spot. Then Trilochan laid Soumik's dead body with his sister's cadaver. Which gave him immense satisfaction.

Kalindi was not one to keep quiet, she immediately called police and handed over Trilochan. She asked Arvind to fight his brother's case and give him justice by hanging Trilochan on the gallows or life imprisonment. But Arvind denied distinctly that he won't do anything like this. Shaumik deserved it for destroying a girl's life. unable to accept defeat Kalindi outcasted Arvind. Which was completely unaware by RC. Trilochan was in prison,On receiving this news , Lal mohan Banarjee kidnapped Arunima. As he was in love with Arunima but She rejected him and married Trilochan. To satisfy his false manly ego he turned into a cannibal and killed Arunima assaulting her sexually. Arjun was with her so they killed him too. Arvind went to Kalkatta in search of Arunima and Arjun. But he couldn't save them. instead was blamed for their death. Trilochan learned of the death of his wife and son from the jail. Whatever, he Could do nothing other than mourning silently.

It's all so unexpected, unanticipated. Anirudh was listening to his Kaka wipping silently. he has such past to which he was absolutely unaware of! He never thought that there's another girl in his life....from his child....no. even before he came to this world. What's even left to know..! and then about the two families....!

"What happened after that?" While wipping the trailing down tears from his cheeks, Anirudh voiced, that drew Kaka's attention. he turned to him with tears filled eyes. heaving a sigh he continued again...

"And After a few months I was released from jail but nothing was like before. Everything had changed drastically. So did my life,our life.Arunima and Arjun were no more and I was Just left with my five months old motherless Batuk and three years old Somnath. Then Shubra Behen brought them up. Although I couldn't believe that Arvind would do such but everything came out like this, I was compelled to....somewhere I started believing that He had killed my wife and son. after all he was a brother. that's why I didn't bother to know about him after that. But my friend proved me wrong. I realized my mistake......of misunderstanding him. But it's too late. after many years. Six years or so..We got the news of his death...!"

"Why didn't you say anything to me....about Binitha?" Kaka heard him asked. An apologetic smile appeared on his lips. He proceeded..

"what would I tell you?After Arvind and sumati died when I found out that their daughter was alive I tried hard to find her. But couldn't. So thought that Binitha also might have died. That's the reason I never disclosed anything to anyone. neither let Shubra or Binoy to brought up this matter.  When you returned from Landon and professed about your love Binitha...I mean , daughter of Aravinda I let you to marry her... Although I was reluctant. Since their name was same so I thought it's the destiny. One Binitha left you without your knowledge but another Binitha came. I'm extremely sorry hiding such crucial truth of your life....."

Kaka joined his hands infront of Anirudh, head hung down. Anirudh instantly pulled him in a hug and both of them cried river.
Unable to comprehend the ambivalent feelings he let his eyelashes to close the gap between them. drawing a small smile to lips, he whispered..

"If she is alive today I just want her to be happy....!!!!
