It's morning 4 am. Trilochan is doing Puja, Bondita is standing beside. Batuk and Somnath are also there.
Trilochan: Batuk, recite the Durga ma strotra.
Before Batuk could recite Bondita started.
Trilochan is just stunned. He smiled at her and continued to do Puja.
After completing puja, Bondita gave prashad to Batuk and Somnath.
Batuk got it eagerly but Somnath refused it.
Somnath: Kaka, i am leaving to work. Today I will return late to home Kaka.
He said and went. His work in mill is very difficult. It is owned by angrezi so Indians are treated as slaves. 18 hours of work but low salary only. But what to do, to manage the expenses in family Somnath must do it.
Trilochan: Sabash, Bahu. Sabash! How did you learnt it?
Bondita: Pandit ji, taught me this yesterday. Today I will recite this infront him without mistakes.
Trilochan's smile reduced. He thinks of pandit saying that he won't come to teach her.
Anirudh came out of his room very fresh, wearing yellow shirt and pajama. He went to shrine and prays god.
Trilochan rubs his eyes and looks at him again.
Trilochan: Bahu, pinch me to know whether I am in reality or Imagination.
Bondita: Haha, Kaka sasurji. This is your reality only.
Trilochan: But how in reality your pati babu is here that too in early morning praying to God!!
Bondita giggled.
Anirudh: Here after i will join the puja daily.
Trilochan: Hey Durga ma, Anirudh are you fine? Suddenly how did you got these good ideas?
Anirudh: Kaka, leave it. When will the pandit arrive?
Trilochan: Arey wah, you are waiting eagerly than your wife!
Anirudh: I am going to stay with Bondita today in her class. Not only today, until this challenge completes I will stay with her only.
Bondita smiled ear to ear. But Trilochan's smile reduced.
Anirudh: Bondita, are you ready?
Bondita nods yes in joy.
Trilochan: Pandit will not come.
Anirudh: What?!
Trilochan explained him everything.
Anirudh thinks: About this only Bondita was worrying about yesterday hn? My stupid mind didn't even thought about it.
Trilochan: Now what will we do Anirudh? Only 2 days are there. Now where will go and search for new pandit?
Anirudh: Don't search for anyone Kaka.
Trilochan: Then?
Anirudh: Thank god he didn't got in my hands yesterday or else I would have taught him a good lesson for humiliating a small girl.
Trilochan: Hey first of all tell me, why you are asking me not to search for another pandit?
Anirudh: You are here na? You teach her everything.
Trilochan's eyebrow rose up.
Anirudh: Kaka, why should we let s stranger to teach our family's girl? You know everything about our culture. Sastras, Vedas, purana and whatever is there you can teach her well.
Trilochan: Did I said I don't know these things? If I sit here and teach her then who will take care of stall? Already business is getting low as people are angry on us. I don't know how will i manage the upcoming expenses.
Anirudh: Kaka, i will take care of shop. You teach Bondita.
Trilochan: Are you serious? Bahu, I think Durga ma entered into your pati babu's mind and gave him some good sense.
Anirudh: Kaka, this is our family. We only have to adjust to win over this society. I only dragged you all in this challenge na so let me help you. I will look after the shop, batuk and Bihari will help me. You take care of Bondita's preparation.
Trilochan is stunned to hear those words from him.
Bondita: Haiiya, jolly. Kaka sasurji is going to teach me.
Trilochan: Damn sure, finally Durga ma gave him some sense.
He smiled.
Anirudh: Theek hain, Kaka. Let me go and open the shop.
Trilochan: Arey, arey I accept that you are very eager but for that and all you can't open a shop at 4.30 am. Everyone will be sleeping now. So be calm, after breakfast you can go there.
Anirudh nods yes. He looks so enthusiastic today.
Bondita went to kitchen to make breakfast. Anirudh also followed her.
Trilochan is very happy to see him like that.
Trilochan prays: Durga ma, finally he got some love towards his wife. I just want him to remain same like this with his wife forever.
He goes to hall to read newspaper.
~In kitchen~
Bondita takes the flour and knees it to make luchi.
Anirudh: Bondita, let me help you.
Bondita: Nahi, pati babu. You are already wounded, go and sit silently. I will do it myself.
Anirudh: Arey your choti hands can't do everything at once.
Bondita: But your badi hand is wounded now. So you can't help me.
Anirudh: Yay, making fun of me?
Bondita giggled.
Anirudh: Okay move, let me make tea.
Bondita: No need pati babu, what happened to you suddenly? Why you are behaving so weird today?
Anirudh: Weird?
Bondita: Hn, go and sit silently. Don't disturb me.
Anirudh: Am i disturbing you? I just wanted to help my choti sakhi but she is scolding me.
Bondita: Choti sakhi?
Anirudh: It means "little friend". You are my best friend hn na?
Bondita: Yes I am. But now i won't allow you help me. You are wounded so please take rest.
She pushes him aside but he stands firmly.
Anirudh: I appreciate your courage, Bondita. How did you decided that you can push me aside with your choti hands?
He laughed.
Bondita: I am small but strong. You are tall but weak. That's why you fell down somewhere.
Anirudh reminds of Manorama's arrow piercing him.
Bondita made tea and searches for tumblers.
They are in shelf.
Bondita: Pati babu, you wanted to help me right?
Anirudh: Hn!
Bondita: Now it's your time to help. Please take those tumblers.
He took it and gave it to her. Bondita filled tea in it. She arranged it in a plate to serve it.
She went out and gave it to Trilochan.
Trilochan: Who made this tea? You or your pati babu?
Bondita: I did it Kaka sasurji.
Trilochan: Thank god then I can drink it peacefully.
He smelled it and sipped it.
Bondita then went to Batuk and gave him tea. He too took it. She then went back to kitchen and gave tea to Anirudh. He took it with a warm smile.
Anirudh: Mmm, good taste. You have improved a lot.
He enjoys the tea. Bondita was about to sip her tea but stopped.
She took that hot tumbler to Anirudh's wound and placed it gently over it. Anirudh looks on.
Bondita: Pati babu, i suddenly got reminded of my amma doing like this to me when I got wounded one day. It will be so warm of we do like this. Do you feel warm now?
She gently keeps it around his wound.
Anirudh thinks: Why you are so innocent Bondita?
He looks on.
What will happen next?
Just stay tuned to know about it!❤️
I have found many writers worried about their works being stolen by fraudulent websites. My previous post is just an eye opening message to everyone.
I found many of you writers asking me, "what to do with it?"
All I could, we could do the least is be careful and don't touch those websites. Because it seem dangerous and it's hard to take down those websites. So don't worry about it. Just chill❤️
