In the last part,
Anirudh reached at bondita's house at the time of her delivery but latter came to know that the chances of her surviving are almost negligible and meets his new born daughter.

Let's continue,
Anirudh's steps stopped on the floor. Sampurna's eyes filled with tears "kya kehe rahi h aap..." he asked "haa anirudh... jo kehe rahi hu sach kehe rahi hu..." she said and came downstairs facing his back "koyeli... ise andar le jao" she handovered the baby girl to koyeli and koyeli left "aaj... bondita jis haal mein h.... uske zimmedar sirf aur sirf yeh dono h..." she said. Her words has started ringing in his ears "aur tumhara hak h yeh janne ka ki yeh zimmedar kyu h..." she said. He turned to her "saaf saaf bataiye.... kya Janne ka hak h mera...." he asked "yahi... ki kyu bondita itne maheeno se akele rehe rahi thi, kyu uske apne parivaar ne usse tab chhod diya jab usse unki sabse zyada zaroorat thi, kyu vo apna khayal khud... akele rakhne pe majboor ho gayi thi.... kyu vo apne teesre maheene apna ghar chhodke aayi thi, kyu usne apne ghar se apna rishta tod liya, kyu apne ghar mein apna bahu hone ka hak chhod diya, kyu uska apna ghar hote hue bhi usse iss makaan mein rehna pada... jo humari haveli se bohot bada toh h par... vo ghar nhi h... vo toh sirf ek makaan h, kyu usne apni maang suni karne ka Faisla liya, kyu usne... apne bache ko zindagi dene ke liye... apna Jeevan khatam karne ka Faisla liya, kyu vo bondita anirudh roychaudhary toh thi lekin.... roychaudhariyon ki bahu nhi thi, kyu usne apna naam hum sabse alag kar liya......" she said with tears in her eyes. He was totally shattered and numb listening to those things which he even couldn't imagined "kyu... kyu kiya usne aisa...." he asked in a low and breaking voice "dhoka.... dhoka, dard, majboori, akelapan, aansoo, vishaad, (depression).... iss sabke siva usse diya hi kya h inn logo ne, humare ghar ki bahu hone ke shagun mein dukh aur dard, humare ghar mein nanhe kadmo ke aane ki khushi ke shagun mein dhoka... aansoo... aur.... akelapan, shraap ban gaya tha uska humare ghar ki bahu hona.... sivaaye dukh aur dard ke, kuch nhi de paaye hum usko" she started crying hard. His eyes became teary. His heart was broken into several pieces "kesa dhoka sampurna ma..." he asked in trembling voice "yahi, ki isne bondita ke saamne tere maujood hone ka dhong kiya h.... isne tera roop lekar usse chhala h.... dhoka diya h isne usko...." she said. Everyone standing there got freezed. Kaka batuk downed their heads. Anirudh's eyes widened "6 maheene pehle, raat ka samay tha, bondita apne padhne wale kamre mein bethi hui thi tabhi usse uper se kisi ke hasne ki aawaaz aayi. Vo uper gayi toh dekha ki wahan, yeh batuk aur iski vo mallika" she wasn't able to complete and she closed her eyes tightly remembering the scenario

Flashback starts,
Bondita was standing there and saw that they both were going to kiss each other. She wasn't able to support herself and she mistakenly touched the flower vase near her hand on the table outside the room and it fell down. Sampurna was in the kitchen filling her jug with water when she heard some noise. She immediately put the jug there and rushed towards the stairs. Batuk and mallika got alert with the noise and got shocked seeing bondita standing on the door. Tears were falling down her eyes "bondita kya hua yeh aawaaz kesi..." sampurna reached there and started asking to bondita about the sound when she saw the scene inside the room "bondita yeh..." she asked her about the scene but she was standing quitely with tears flowing down from her eyes. Her quiteness was telling everything. Sampurna understood everything. She went inside the room and slapped batuk. Bondita was standing there only. Bondita came some steps forward "bo..bondita bondita let...let me..." his voice was shrivelling "kya h yeh sab pati babu... kyu kiya mere saath aisa aapne" she asked seeing straight in his eyes "bo...bondita listen..." he was trying to say "Bas pati babu Bas... aa...ab bhi aapko safaayi deni h.... kya kahenge ab aap apni iss...." she wasn't able to say anything and closed her eyes remembering that scene "bondita..." mallika interrupted "mere aur mere pati ke beech mein mat bolo...." she said showing her hand as a sign to not to interrupt them "mene kuch pucha h.... kyu kiya aapne aisa.... bataiye" she said "Bata anirudh, kyu kiya tune aise" sampurna asked her strictly "batao inhe, ab sach chhupane se kya hoga.... come on na.... Bata do inhe" mallika said "kya batana h.... pati babu kya batana h aapko humein" bondi asked "anirudh, aisa kya tu chhupa raha h jo humein pata hona chahiye..." sampurna asked "pati babu bataiye na kya chhupa rahe h aap mughse..." she held his shoulders and asked "yahi, ki yeh aapka anirudh nhi, mera batuk h" mallika said. Both sampurna and bondita became standstill "yeh... yeh jhooth h.... aap.... aap kahiye na ki... ki yeh... yeh jhooth bol rahi h" bondita said with shivering voice and tears in her eyes "mallika... sa...sach kehe rahi h...." he said turning his head to other side. Her heart skipped a beat. She felt numb there. Her hands had slept from his shoulder. She was not able to stand and was going to fall when sampurna held her "bondita sambhal..." she said "1 min.... agar yeh tum ho toh... pati babu..." she  didn't complete and left from there shouting his name "bondita ruk...," sampurna too went behind her. Batuk and mallika to went with then "pati babuuu.... pati babuuu...." she was shouting walking fast in the corridors "bonduta ruk sun toh" she said "nhi maa.... mughe mere pati babu ke paas jaana h...." she said. Sampurna was running behind her. They both reached downstairs. Batuk and mallika too reached. Bondita was going outside when sampurna held her hands "bondita.... bondita rukh jaa baat toh sun..." she said "nhi maa ab main ek pal ke liye bhi nhi ruk sakti.... mughe jaane dijiye mughe mere pati babu ke paas jaana h..." she said "apne pati ke paas jana h tumhe...." Kaka came there. They both faced to Kaka "toh jao jaake ussi nadi mein kud jao jahan tumhara pati tumhe bachane gaya tha.... kyunki tum toh bach gayi par humara anirudh..... chala gaya humein chhod ke...." he said and started crying. Both sampurna and bondita became standstill. It was like the earth has slept below their feet "aur yeh sab sirf aur sirf tumhari vajah se hua h bondita...." he shouted pinging his finger towards bondita. But she was standing numb "yeh....yeh aap kya kehe rahe h jeth ji.... aisa nhi ho sakta.... anirudh...." she was unable to complete "yeh ho chuka h.... vo bondita ko toh bacha gaya... par.... hum sabko chhod ke chala gaya vo...." he said and started crying placing his hand over his head. Bondita wasn't ableto stand listening all this and she eventually disbalanced and fallen down
"bondita aaraam se sambhal khudko...." she held her and sat with her on the floor "arre anirudh ne kitna pyaar kiya tha tumse bondita... aur tumne uss pyaar ke badle mein usse hum sabse chhin ke dur kar diya.... sun lo aaj tum bhi... anirudh apni patni ko nhi.... iss ghar ki barbaad ko laya tha.... ek kulakshani ko laya tha vo...." he shouted. His voice echoed in the whole haveli "bas kariye jeth ji.... uski halat toh dekhiye... jo kuch hua aap uska ilzaam bondita par kese daal sakte h... iss sab mein bhala uski kya galti.... aur batuk... usne jo kiya vo nhi dikha aapko..." sampurna said "usne jo kiya humare kehne pe kiya.... arre bondita pet se thi.... vo bondita ki jaan pe koi khatra nhi aane dena chahta tha.... isiliye usne... yeh jaante hue bhi ki isne usse uska bhai chhina h.... fir bhi usne iska aur iske bache ka  khayal kiya....isiliye usne yeh sab kiya" he said "hum tumhe iske liye kabhi maaf nhi karenge bondita...." he shouted and left. Batuk and mallika were smiling seeing eachother at the corner. Bondita was still thinking that what has just happened in a couple of seconds "patiiiiii babuuuuuuuuu... she shouted loudly and started crying "chup ho jaa bondita..... mat ro teri tabiyat kharab ho jayegi" she placed bondita's head on her chest and tried to consoled her "maa mere pati babu...." she said and started crying hard "jaati hu bondita.... bohot bada h tere liye yeh par tughe sambhalna hoga khudko... apne liye nhi toh kam se kam iss bache ke liye.... yeh tere aur anirudh ke pyaar ki nishaani h...." sampurna said. Due to stress and already weakness, bondita felt unconscious "bondita... bondita kya hua.... koyeli.... koyeli...." she called koyeli. Koyeli came there "ji malkin" she asked "koyeli bondita ko andar le jaane mein meri madad karo" sampurna asked.

At 3'o clock at night,
Bondita was lying on her bed. Sampurna was sitting near her. She was gaining conscious "bondita...." she saw her coming in conscious. Bondita opened her eyes. She got up. Batuk and mallika were standing on the door. Then she remembered what all has happened "bondita tu thik h?" "ji sampurna maa main abhi aayi" she immediately stood up and ran towards batuk's room. She opened the almirah and started putting the clothes here and there "bondita yeh what yeh kya kar rahi ho mere kapdo ke saath....." he asked "haa bondita yeh tu kya kar rahi h..." sampurna asked. Bondita found a photo of anirudh with garland over it. She puts the garland from it and throws it away "mere pati babu kahin nhi gaye h..... jaa hi nhi sakte h mughe chhodke...." she said moving her was over his photo

Next day,
Bondita came outside with her bags packed. Her hairline was not filled with sindoor. Her hands were not having shakhapola or Alta. She was not wearing mangalsutra around her neck. She was going towards the door when Kaka called her name "ruko bondita" he said and came infront of her "tu yeh ghar chhodke nhi jaogi..." he said "kyu?" She asked "bhulo mat ki yeh humare ghar ka vaaris h" he said "aur aap yeh mat bhuliye ki yeh meri aur anirudh roychaudhary ki aulad h...." she said strongly "iske baba ki gairmaujudgi mein iski maa iska dhyaan rakhegi..." she said "Mar chuka h iska baba...." he shouted "zinda h mere pati babu.... main meri yeh saanse.... meri dil ki dhadkane.... iss baat ka pratik h ki mere pati babu zinda h.... aur ab main iss haveli mein kadam apne Pati babu ke saath hi rakhungi...." she said "Barrister Bondita..." someone came on the door. Everyone's sight went on the door "aapka bungalow Khali karva diya gaya h aur gaadi bhi bahar khadi h..." the person said "thik h aa rahi hu main..." she said and went outside leaving all the negativies behind to find her pati babu.
