Ksj - Kehne sunne ke liye kya baaki reh gya hai Bahu?! Jo hua wo to dekh liya humne.
Everyone leaves except Mrinalini. She shows them the way to their room but she asks Charulata to sleep in different room. Then she went to her room to pacify Somnath.
In Anidita's room
Bondita enters.
Ani- Iska bhi support krogi tum.. Kya lgta hai tumhe naadani hai yeh?
Bon - Nhi pati babu par ek baar bhi uska paksh sune bina kese faisla kr skte hain aap sahi galat ka?
Som(to Mrinal in his room) - Jo galat hai wo galat hai. Wo ese hi kisi ko bina bataye shaadi nhi kr skta hai.. Tumhari aur Boudi ke wajah se aaj yeh din dekhna pad rha hai.
Mrinal - Sirf shaadi kr ke aaya hai kisi ki hatya to nhi ki na usne.
Ani(to Bondita in his room) - Humare vishwaas hi hatya ki hai usne . Prem ki hi baat thi na bata deta.
Mrinal(to Som) - Mujhe aur boudi ko pata tha ki Batuk Charu se prem krta hai aur usse Vivah krna chahta hai.
Anirudh and Som (together) - Kya?!!
Bondita and Mrinal (together) - Par hume iss shaadi ke baare me koi khabar nhi thi .. Shouti (pinched their throat) .
Ani(to Bondita) - Tumne mujhse kyu chupaya?? Wada kiya tha na kuch nhi chupaaogi.
Bon(to Anirudh) - Batuk ne mujhpe bharosa krke apni baat batayi thi me kese uska bharosa tod deti?
Som and Anirudh (together)- Is Batuk ko to me abhi batata hu.. Batuk!!!!!
Both the doors opened with a bang and infuriated brothers looked at each other and went to Batuk's room.Som- Batuk darwaaza kholo.
Batuk - Kya hua dada?
Ani - Batuk Darwaza KHOLO warna acha nhi hoga.
Batuk opens the door and moves away.
Batuk - Mujhe bolne to dijiye aap log. Please.
Ani - Kya bolna hai jldi bolo.
Batuk - Me Charulata se prem krta hu dada.. aur wo bhi mujhse prem krti hai, par wo ek vidhwa thi isiliye yeh baat mene Boudi ke alava kisi se nhi kahi thi. Kaka se baat krne hi wala tha me bohot jld humare baare me, par aaj gaaon me Charu ki ek saheli ki behen ki shaadi thi to wo waha chali gyi aur udhr dulhan ke kamre me bhi chali gyi aur mitha bhi kha liya. Use niyam aur kaayedo ke baare me zyaada nhi pata tha kuch mahine pehle hi vidhwa hui thi wo isiliye. Is baat ka pata chalte hi ldke walo ne Vivaah tod diya aur uske wajah se Gaaon waale iske khoon ke pyaase ho gye. Usko bachane ka aur koi raasta nhi tha mere paas aur phir me bhi usse vivaah krna hi chahta tha to humne aaj hi mandir me sbke saamne vivaah kr liya
Bon - Dekha mene kaha tha na aapse uski koi majboori hi hogi aur wahi hua.
Ani(pacified) - Par wo baalik nhi hai.
Batuk - Jaanta hu Dada.
Som - So jao abhi kal baat krenge.
Charulata was listening to everything from her room. She was standing at the entrance of her room. When they came out of the room they saw Charulata standing there with moist eyes. As soon as she saw them she changed her sadness into a friendly smile.
Bon - Aap jaiye me aur Mrinal abhi aate hain.
Som - Hmm.
Ani - Ha thik hai.
They went to Charulata's room.
Bondita and Mrinalini made her comfortable.
Bon - Chinta mt kro, hume bhi yaha adjust hone me thoda samay lga tha. Tumhe bhi lgega aur kal jb kaka sasurji kuch bole to use sunna par apna man maila mt krna , wo thode sakt hai bahar se par andar se bohot ache hain wo dil ke.
Mrinal - Bs kal acha sa khaana bna dena Bou Bhaat me wo khush ho jayenge.
Charulata nodded.
Bon - Abhi so jao.. aur kal samay par uth jaana.
Charulata - Ji.
They left.
Next Morning.
Everyone were present at the Aarti , Charulata also came. She wore a cotton saree and got ready like a innocent unmarried girl, she was totally unaware of customs of rich people. Bondita was so much worried thinking about what will happen this morning she forgot to give her a saree and jewels, so Charulata wore whatever she felt best with very less jewelry. It was green saree with a red blouse, her hairs were open and only front hair was taken back and tied. Although she looked sheer beauty , she lacked the pride of chhoti Zamindarni. Only thing she did right was that she putted Thick streak of Vermilion (Sindoor) and wore a sakha pola.
She was had that iconic Paro's look from Devdas . She looked like her.
Ksj - Yeh dekho aa gyi Zamindaaro ki chhoti Bahu.
Batuk - Kaka..
Bon(Interrupting them) -Kitni sundar lg rhi ho tum Charu.. Maaf krna me tumhe sari aur gehne dena bhul gyi
Charu - Koi baat nhi didi aap mujhse badi aap maafi mt maangiye.
Ksj(strict voice) - Aarti shuru kro bahu.
Bon - Ji
After the aarti everyone sat for the Breakfast prepared by Charulata.
Batuk - Bohot acha bana hai Charu.
Charulata gave him a warm smile.
Ksj - Ha ha tumhe kyu bura lgne lga yeh khaana tumhari PATNI ne jo bnaya hai.
Ani - Kaka aapne Batuk ki baat suni? Nhi. Bs faisla suna diya. Usne kitna nek kaam kiya hai aapko pata hai kya? Usne jaan bachayi hai kisi ki.
Ksj - Mtlb?
Bon - Kaka sasurji (she explained him everything).
Ksj - Bachaane ka aur koi raasta nhi aata hai kya humare ghar pe kisiko? Jise dekho shaadi krke pohoch jaata hai darwaaze par , Pehle yeh Anirudh aur phir yeh Binoy aur ab tum, koi parampara hai kya yeh? Sbki kismat humare Anirrudha jesi nhi hoti jo Bondita bahu jesi patni mile . Areey Sampoorna ko nhi dekha hai kya tum log ne? Yeh ghar hai humara, koi aashram nhi. Jo kabhi bhi koi bhi shaadi krke aa jaaye. Hum nhi maan skte yeh galat baat.
Bon - Par kakasasurji ek baar mauka to dijiye Charulata ko swayam ko saabit krne ka. Ab aap maane ya na maane Charulata ab CHHOTI BAHU hai iss ghar ki.
Ksj(thinks) - Hmm.... karo jo krna hai kro. Humara kya mahatva reh gya hai pata nhi? Jiske man jo aata hai wo karo.
Charulata went down to Trilochan's feet.
Charu(crying) - Aap jo bolenge me wo krne ke liye tyaar hu, me sb kuch krne ki koshish krungi. Mujhe aap bolenge ki me sbka khaana bnau , me wo bna lungi , aap chahenge to me sbkuch kr lungi, bs ek mauka de dijiye kaka sasurji.
Ksj(heart melts but he will not show)- Thik hai , thik hai... utho..
Batuk - Yeh kya kr rhi ho Charu, utho. Utho please.
Charulata gets up.
Ksj - Ek mauka , ek mauka denge hum tumhe... saabit kr sko to kr lena apne aap ko
Batuk and Charulata gave each other a smile, a smile that had relief in it.
Ksj - Pehle yeh batao tum kya kya krna jaanti ho?
Charu (impulsively) - Me? Me Khana bnana , Kapde dhona aur to aur mujhe talvaar baazi bhi aati hai, Bandook chalana jaanti hu aur mujhe chitrakaari bhi pasand hai mujhe aur me doctor ki padhai bhi krna chahti hu, pareeksha di hai mene...
Water from Batuk's mouth got spilled and he choked himself. Charu ran towards him and patted his back.
Ksj - Waah!! yeh hain Zamindaaro ki bahu..(claps his hands slowly twice)
Batuk - Ghar ke kaam aate hain isse aur jo nhi aate hain wo Boudi sikha degi.
Bon(nervously) - Ha.. Ha kyu nhi.
Ksj- Dekho 2 din de rhe hain, 2 din me agar isne hume yeh saabit kr diya ki yeh humari bahu bnne ke kaabil hai to hum isko dil se apna lenge.
Bon - Yeh kr legi aap chinta mt kijiye.
Ksj - Hmm..
Ani - Tum doctor bnna chahti ho?
Charu (carelessly) - Ha, mere dada haina doctor to mujhe bhi bnna hai, me padhai kr rhi hu.
Ani - Tumhare dada tumhe padhne dete hain? yeh to bohot achi baat hai.
Charu - Nhi Nhi.. Me fees unke batwe se pese chura kr bharti hu aur pareeksha pehle varsh ki hi di hai mene ab tak , uss din ghar se bina bole gayab hona pada tha. Wo mera Pati tha na usne hi mujhse padhai shuru krwayi thi (like a silly innocent girl she said)
Everyone got Awkward.
Ksj - Idhr kuch churana nhi .. Thik hai?
Charu - Chi Chi! aap log to mere liye bhagwaan ke tarah ho.. aur me bhagwaan ke ghar chori kyu krungi? (Made an innocent face).
Som - Tumhari kitaabe hain tumhare paas ?
Charu - Nhi(faintly) Ab me padhungi kese ?
Ksj - Yeh padhai likhai ke chakkar me ghar parivaar mt bhul jaana.
Ani- Kaka...
Ksj - Tum chup raho Anirudh. Apna kranti ka jhanda humare ghar ke bahar rkho tum dono pati patni
Batuk and Charulata touched kaka sasurji's feet.
Ksj - Ha ha khush raho.(disinterested)
Bondita was not feeling well.
Ani - Kuchh hua hai kya Mishti?Subah se tabyat kuch thik nhi lg rhi tumhari.
Bon - Nhi kuch nhi hua.
Ani - Pkka?
Bon - Ha pati babu, kuch nhi hua thoda sa araam kr lungi to acha lgne lgega
Ani - Thik hai.. aaj ghar pe hi aaram kro.
Ksj exits.
Charu - Aapka naam kya hai didi?
Bon - Mera naam Bondita hai. Tum mujhe Bondita Didi bula skti ho.
Mrinal - Aur mujhe Mrinal Didi.
Charu - Ji.
Batuk - Aaj me ghar pe rhunga Boudi.
Som - Kyu Aaj nhi jaana Pritampur?
Batuk and Charulata blushed.
Mrinal and Bondita speaking with each other.
Bon - Bichaari Charu.... Pata nhi kyu humesha aurat ko hi har pareeksha deni padti hai. Kyu har mod par apne aap ko apni kabiliyat ko saabit krna padta hai. Stree janani hoti hai phir bhi use hi kyu apmaan ka kadva vish har baar peena padta hai. Charulata bhai aake kabhi Batuk se keh skta hai ki wo apni kaabiliyat ki pareeksha de? Nhi na. To phir kyu. Kyu aaj Charu ko saabit krna pad rha hai ki wo kaabil hai Batuk ki patni kehlaane ke ?
Mrinal - Sach me didi.. Samaaj ki yeh aurto ke prati esi heen bhavna se chidh hoti hai mujhe. Sita Mata ko agni pareeksha deni padi . Kyu? Kyuki wo Raavan ke saath Lanka me Reh ke aayi thi? Kya wo waha apni iccha se gyi thi , unhone apni parchai tak sparsh nhi krne diya tha. Phir bhi agni pareeksha kisko deni padi ? Mata Sita ko. Door to Shri Raam bhi the unse to unhone kyu nhi di Agni Pareeksha?
{Writers Apology - I don't want to hurt sentiments of any of you. This was just in context of what most people believe to be right and Questioning the Misogynistic perspective is not wrong. Also I know what was the real reason of Agni pareeksha, but people misinterpreted and it and used it as an precedent to justify their Misogyny . Therefore I did not mean to hurt any of the religious sentiments of anyone , but if it did then I am sorry}
Bon - Mujhe bhi yahi lgta hai.. Kaka sasur ji ko bhi smjhna chaiye Charulata abhi bachi hi hai.. Mana samaaj ke hisaab se badi ho gyi hai aur wo 'aurat' bn gyi hai par sach to sach hi hota haina. Use na kuch bolne ki smjh aur na kisi ko parakhne ki smjha.. bohot bholi hai wo bechari, usko har ladaayi ke liye tyaar krna humari zimmedari hai, phir chahe wo ladaayi ghar me ho samaaj me ho ya kahi aur .
Mrinal - Ha didi me aapki baat se sehmat hu aur me aapka saath avshya dungi.
Charulata enters.
Charu - Didi, mene keh to diya hai me sb kr lungi par sach to yeh hai ki mujhe kuch aata hi nhi hai.
Bon - Ek minute.. Tum abhi yeh sb ki chinta chhodo. Aaj kuch mehmaan aa rhe hain Batuk se milne kisi kaam ke silsile me, meri tabyat kharab lg rhi hai isiliye me araam krne jaa rhi hu aur Mrinal mere saath hi rhegi mujhe usse kuch kaam hai. Mehmaan aadhe ghante me aayenge to unke liye naashta paani chai sb kuch ready rkhna khaas mehmaan hai.
Charu - Ji.
Bondita and Mrinalini leave and Charulata is standing there worrying now what to do.
