After coming from temple, Sumati confronted Kalindi personally about the condition she had kept infront of Trilochan and asked what exactly is going in her mind. At one side she had promised to Banerjee family that Bondita will be their bahu and other side she is speaking in favourable to Anirudh babu and Bondita relationship. I am not getting Thakuma
Kalindi: Sumati, I have thrown this condition so that he will pass this message to Anirudh Roy Chowdhary hurriedly and this time my men will trace his details. Because I felt this kaka bhatija are playing hide and seek game with me.
Regarding condition I didn't say anything wrong. Yes I have promised to both Banerjee family and Roy Chowdhary family too about Bondita
Chandrachur and his family members are money minded but at the same time they show loyalty to the people who sponsor for their welfare. They show life long loyalty and dedication. Chandrachur is a simple person who doesn't go against society rules
At the same time I am not telling that Anirudh Roy Chowdhury Is a bad person. He is good but I have a strong doubt whether he can see our Bondita as his wife or not. What if he feels ashamed to start Married life with our girl. How can she live alone without husband's love and without having children.
Sumati is about to say : But Thakuma
Kalindi interrupted and said: Don't bring age factor into this Sumati. Bondita is not the first girl to go through labour pain. Everyone goes through it. What's the big deal in it. When she had the guts to save her husband from fire accident, don't she face labour pains. So this Excuse won't work. She is not a doll but a woman pain is the only companion of aurat jaat from birth to death. Did you get it.
And the other thing which I don't like about that Anirudh Roy Chowdhary is his fitoori to reform society, his fitoori to make prathas disappear in society will always put his family and especially his wife in risk. Because of that he and his family members, his wife will always have to lead a stressful life like what happens next, how to survive facing society and Britishers wrath
(She said with breaking voice by looking at Bondita's father Aravind photo)You also know that your husband, my nephew Aravind also went against Britishers and tried to participate in freedom movement and what happened? They had thrown dangerous snake on him and ..
Sumati broken into tears and kalindi also became sad. She consoled by keeping her hand on sumati shoulder.
When he is alive also he used to encourage Bondita to do tarks and used to pamper her alot.
(Author's explanation: Sumati herself told to Anirudh that Bondita's tarks are encouraged by her late father in episode 62 or somewhere during bed wetting track)
But a girl arguing with everyone, will it give glory to her character and to her mayka? Tell me.
What if Anirudh Roy Chowdhary as Bondita's husband also go against Britishers or society and land into trouble? All the time his kaka and baba , zamindari ki ruthba can't save him from those monsters. What if any inauspicious..
Sumati broken into tears: Thakuma .. no..my bachi shouldn't get my fate. My Bondita should stay as suhagan for life long have her husband's name and love forever, recognised by her sasural and have children too.
kalindi: khoob bhalo Sumati bahu, now you understood my intention. For that her husband should not be fitoori and behave as per society rules and follow all the responsibilities towards our Bondita as a husband..as a true husband. Am I correct or not
(Sumati nodded)
If Anirudh Roy Chowdhary agrees to my condition it's good. I will bless them both.
But if he argues or go against me I have to search an alternative option. Instead of him I have to fix Bondita's alliance with Chandrachur and get her married. I have to take this tough decision for a secured future of our Bondita.
I enquired from Chandrachur relatives who gave information that he loves his family members and relatives dearly. Now tell me sumati bahu, will that person won't love his wife?
Sumati: Haa Thakuma you might have enquired about him alot only. What if Bondita doesn't agree?
Kalindi: That is dependent on you Sumati.
Sumati looked perplexed and Kalindi told that you have to be too strict towards her, keep aside your mother's love and take a promise from her , if she won't listen go for hunger strike , and convince her to agree for marriage with Chandrachur. She will only agree. After marriage everything will settle down
Sumati ! All I am doing is for her better and secured future only. You understood my intention na. For me nothing is more important than her safe and secured future. No one should point fingers towards her and try to take advantage of her in anyway. Try to understand it.
Sumati: Haa Thakuma I understood your intention. Despite of me having my brother still I have faced many problems and Bondita doesn't have brother also . She should have strong sasural for her welfare.
Kalindi nodded as concurring with Sumati and left.
Rimjhim had heard all this and thought to herself: Jhoot kaho toh Jaan Lelo, sasuma always does partiality. Such a loving person Chandrachur should be husband to my Tupur, my daughter should get his love and she wants her favourite granddaughter to be his wife . Wah! Now I will do anything to make Chandrachur as my jamayibabu.

Bondita went to school in civil dress and this time the three boys decided to dig her past at any cost and bring her into their grip.
But much to their surprise she only started speaking with them with pleasant smile and asked Suketu help for a problem
The three boys are in cloud nine and told her that they are ready to solve her problem and do any thing for her.
She thanked them and told that she wants to talk privately and no one should learn about it.
Suketu told excitingly : haa Bondita, we have trees beside ground. It is somehow bushy and no one will see. Can we talk there
Recollecting how Banerjee and Dhananjay asked her to come to corner and tried to molest her , Bondita said no, not in any private corner or near any isolated place. She told that she will talk to him in ground in open area.
Suketu is worried and asked what if any one misunderstood them. she asked what is there to misunderstand. I have a doubt and you are going to Clarify it, if you know the answer
Suketu irritatingly furrowed his eyebrows and asked :A doubt?
Bondita: Haa.. doubt! I have doubts on your stories
Suketu gulped nervously and asked : what doubts Bondita
Just then Anita masterni is entering classroom and Bondita said: shhh we will talk about it later on.
After class and revision, she went with three boys secretly to ground
Binod and Niranjan also followed Suketu. She told Suketu that she only wants to speak with him as he is the one who speaks stories
Suketu asked his friends to go and see if anyone are coming or not especially bada Buddha (principal Surendra).
Binod frowned on his friend. But Suketu convinced : what difference will it make yaar? When right time comes we three will proceed na. At present shikari herself is coming to this hunter. Don't spoil this opportunity.
Binod reluctantly agreed and Suketu and Bondita stood on school ground and started their conversation.
Suketu: Haa Bondita tell me what do you want to speak
She hesitated but he started his sugar coating words that despite of all relationships friendship is the only beautiful relationship which we chose on our own, she can ask anything this Suketu will do anything for her.
She felt relieved and asked that is it really true that due to age gap between husband and wife they wont have compatibility
Suketu: Haa Bondita it's true. I have seen many people and it is written in many books
Bondita : In which books it is written Suketu babu? Can you give me those books for a day ..I will read and give you back so that I can understand better and decide about something (slowly she said) about someone
Suketu didn't expect this and coughed. She asked worriedly : what happened?
He said: haa... nothing
She asked: Then bring those books tomorrow for a day I will read it and give so that I can have better understanding
Suketu : Those are elders books Bondita. I only studied secretly and understood this.
Bondita: That means nobody had taught you. Just you read it on your own and imagining yourself. That means may be you are wrong also na. Without a shikshak babu or any elder teaching you all these how can you judge everything on your own?
Suketu is irritated with her tarks and almost shouted on her to stop . She looked confused and about to go in anger that he had shouted on her. He stopped and said sorry by holding his ears. She got pacified and said : it's ok by the way you didn't answer my question
Suketu: I have seen many pairs suffering because of age gap
All things will not be written in books
Have you learnt arguing by reading books?( She shooked her head and he said) no na.similarly by seeing many couples around me I came to that conclusion. Neither of them will be happy. (Something striked in his mind he said) Regarding love stories I have a friend who writes love stories but all his stories are in papers hand written
She asked him to bring it , give it for a day she will read it. Suketu then told before he give that she had to share her problem first openly and then he can help her by giving better advice and give better story books for her exact problem
She thought for a while, because earlier also she believed outsiders Brijwasi babu, sampoorna didi and others words and got deceived. Now before he believes him she had to take a strong oath from Suketu as an assurance so that he won't cheat her
She asked him to give pakka wala wada on his parents, all on his loved ones that he is helping her sincerely and won't cheat her , will help her honestly also won't share this with anyone .
To win her impression he had given a fake promise on everyone. She then narrated her story in which circumstances her Patibabu had married her , he had sacrificed his childhood love to marry her, and told how he helped her in each stage (bed wetting problem to menstruation problem) she had told everything openly even upto fake marriage drama of her Patibabu which made her leave him and come here.
She had come here leaving him but he didn't leave her he came in search of her and also staying here in low cost of living (but she didn't give much details that he is staying as Avinash Ghosh) he Apologized her and asking her to come back. But still her mind is not ready to go back because her own didi blamed her that his young days are passing away without any patni sukh. Even Tulsipur village women also Taunted directly or indirectly about this .
She couldn't understand anything of what exactly is this patni sukh and all. She doesn't even know what exactly happens and there are no one to share it. Babita and Neetu also won't discuss openly with her. So she is requesting his help as a true friend.
Suketu smirked in mind for her foolishness and for her ignorance that she doesn't know anything about love and married life. That means her husband had not touched her till day.
He immediately pretending innocence and sincerity on his face he said: How pathetic condition are you in Bondita? How sad is both of your story? How tragic it is? This age gap..
Just tell me one thing by swearing on your Patibabu. : Do you love him?
She nodded with guilty feeling and I can't tell him of my feelings.
He got irritated and asked with a doubtful expression: just think once deeply Bondita . Do you really love him? Because you have left him and came. That means there is no love in your heart you might be imagining things.. it may be gratitude and respect on him but no love at all
Bondita with tears shouted: chup raho (shut up). I really love him alot . I don't know what exactly is husband and wife love but my mind, my heart and my intuition only imagine him as my patibabu for ever. I can only be comfortable with him. Other than him I can't openly share any problem with anyone..now I am here discussing with you means this is also for him only. I left him and came here because I thought he will live his life happily without me. But due to guilt feeling and feeling responsibility towards me he came back. I feel too guilty, too embarrassed and inferior of myself that he is staying for me here, wasting his time and life for me.
Recently and there and I felt that Durga maa is giving me hint that age gap is the major parameter to decide husband and wife love. That's why I asked you for those books. It's also for him to find a solution for him to get more insight of our problem which I feel for him buy not for my life. I don't want any outsider love. But may be my patibabu is in need of it , for patni sukh and he might be sacrificing. That's why I am asking your help. Do you understand?
Suketu felt bitter to listen her Love confession to her Patibabu from her mouth . He thought that he can make her fall for him but it's not possible but he can succeed in other way. atleast he can create distance between her and her Patibabu with her doubts and separate them and then take advantage of her loneliness.
Just then Anirudh is coming to school with lunch box and approached school gate as it's lunch time . Despite of how much he requested her that morning to stay in home and take rest she came to school for extra classes neglecting her health. She took this competitive exam too seriously
There Suketu is pacifying her and telling that : sorry so sorry Bondita.. I didn't mean to hurt you. Your love is great, your Patibabu is also really great...I am really sorry and held his ears. She nodded as agreeing his apology
Anirudh is about to head towards class but his gaze fell on ground and there he saw Bondita and a boy talking with each other and two boys are standing aside and looking at them and at surroundings.
By seeing him Binod and Niranjan had whistled in an unique way as if signaling them or him who is near Bondita and both ran away. It seems like an indication.
Suketu saw Anirudh and told Bondita hurriedly in an assuring way: Relax Bondita. I will help you. I will bring those stories for you and you can have better idea. But you are right, I mean your Patibabu is mahan. Such mahan person he deserve every happiness and your intention is also genuine. I will help you. Don't tell anyone . swear on your Patibabu (apni Patibabu ki kasam). Till then keep these thoughts in you only and he ran away
Anirudh approached Bondita and her eyes are swollen. She wiped it quickly and smiled at him calling Patibabu you are here? I would have come to court why did you take trouble?
He asked with concern : Bondita you are the one who always takes trouble? You look dull. Are you fine? That boy is your classmate. Right? Is he troubling you?
Bondita: No Patibabu He is Suketu, my classmate and friend also . He is not troubling me. We are discussing about notes and subjects.
Anirudh felt bitter but immediately thought that he should not think in narrow minded way and suffocate Bondita. He convinced himself that Suketu is her classmate and friend.
She is telling him : Infact I am not sad and really happy. Shotti . Dekhiye and she had done smile signature
Anirudh had smiled and said patting her head : Good..come have lunch.
They sat outside school under a tree and had lunch feeding eachother. Just then Murli kaka came to them and gave an invitation card, told that next week Pari marriage muhurat is coming. Because of Bondita beti only they had saved money and we will feel very happy if they both attend marriage next week.
Bondita: haa kaka by that time my exam will also be finished. We will come and enjoy in wedding. Kyu Patibabu
Anirudh also smiled and said : haa Bondita.
He turned to murli kaka and said : kaka if you want more money or any kind of help also please feel free to ask me. I am here to help you.
Murli hesitatingly said: nahi nahi Anirudh babu. Because of Bondita beti service to Thakuma, Damini Malkin and Surendra malik had paid us enough and extra money for expenses. Not needed anymore..we will be really happy if you both come for marriage on that day and participate in it
Anirudh said happily: ji kaka. Murli left.
Suketu shared Bondita story with his friends and also told them how much she loves him but she feels guilty to express it so we will write their love story in our way and smirked thinking of his plan.
Here Trilochan sent a message through Munshi Bansilal and asked him to pass very secretly to Anirudh and be very careful while sending message. Bansilal said ok and went
Binoy is brought by Somnath and Bihari in car. Trilochan asked Bihari wife Raji to bring aarti Thali to do arti.
Raji is bringing and sampoorna forcely snatched the arti thali and shouted on her that Binoy babu is my patibabu. I have every right to give arti.
Trilochan shouted on Bihari and Raji, Koyli that who had allowed her outside. Koyli told that she had slapped me and came out bade Malik.
Trilochan to all his servants: Listen everyone here I am the Malik. I am paying salaries to everyone here. And she is staying on charity here. Khabardar if she is allowed outside.
Sampoorna to Binoy with emotional (fake) tears : Dekhiye na apne, sunana apne. How your brother is disrespecting your wife. If shubhra behen is there in my place would he have done this
Trilochan: khabardar if you take shubhra behen name with your ugly tongue
Binoy adjusting his spects: da what are you saying?
Sampoorna came eagerly to him and held his hand and asked: make him understand that I am your wife and he had no right to talk to me like this
Binoy ignored sampoorna and said to his brother: Da she won't understand by words. Just throw her out or frame her parents in a fraud case and send them to jail. She will only leave by herself and forcedly took back his hand from her grip
Sampoorna looked shocked and tried to taunt that is this what these zamindars justice to their house bahu.
Trilochan: Bihari ask your wife to bring aarti thali and give arti to my brother.
Raji gave arti and Somnath took him inside. Trilochan Indirectly told to sampoorna that she can leave as her husband is only not interested if want he can give money as alms
Sampoorna stubbornly told that she won't go anywhere until she is alive and ran to her room and locked from inside.
Trilochan shooked his head and asked Somnath to take his baba inside room.
Later he came to secret spot a lonely place where Tupur is waiting for him.
She asked smilingly: How is your baba Somnath ji?
He said : Fine got discharged from hospital. Have you done with homework I gave you?
She said with blush: ji and shown her homework. She had written all letters and varnamala, barakhadi too.
He said happily: khoob bhalo
She blushed and told him that she had written something and had to tell whether it's correct or not. He asked what is it?
She had opened a paper and shown the piece and it had his name written.
He is in cloud nine and out of joy he is about to shook her shoulders. She felt so shy and Ran outside telling him that they are not supposed to do this before marriage. Later she saw Thakuma passing by that side and she came away and Somnath had hidden
But the word marriage had hurt their hearts deeply. If dada and boudi are here then there would not have been this much problem and are in deep thoughts about it.
In Das haveli Tupur decided to ask Somnath about their marriage next time that if he is serious about her or not.

Next day Suketu gave her papers bundle which are folded in text book form and told (lie) that this is one of the upcoming story which is going to be published it is written by a famous author and hope you will find answer for your problem.
She thanked him and told that she will give next day. He told that no keep it with you until you solve your problem.
She asked : why ? That author had to give for publishing it right?
He said : haa..haa.but publishing will take in next month. So no hurry. Meanwhile you can find solution from this. If you have any doubt you can ask me. I am here to help you
She thanked him and Left.
In night at home She had done revision fastly and after Damini slept in her room Anirudh silently sneaked into Thakuma room and asked questions for upcoming exam. Thakuma got habituated to them and she slept on her own finding her happiness in others happiness
She answered all questions and asked him to go as she wants to sleep soon. He asked her permission that can he stay until she sleep, he will put her to sleep.
She is in hurry to read the story so she told that his eyes are looking very dull he had to rest and asked him to sleep telling good night. He left reluctantly as he can't even force her.
Thakuma is listening and smacked her head with left hand that why is this girl unable to see her husband's love. If she is healthy and able to speak she would have taught Bondita in her style about husband's love and prayed Durga maa in mind to make their bond strong and save from all bad eyes.
Bondita read the paper bundle. Suketu had written story in such a way with little changes that Bondita could connect it to her Patibabu .
In that story hero is forcedly married to save a girl from her wicked step mother by marrying her and took her to his house. She is mentally insane due to an accident and His family members also objected that how could he marry her just like that.
Bondita recollected her ksj, sasurji, som dada and Bhatuk everyone are angry on her on the day her Patibabu married her and brought to sasural. No one had done her gruha pravesh rasam and cried sadly. That's why her Patibabu is mad at his Desparate condition on that day, thrown things in balcony here and there due to everyone's wrath .
Next part : hero is taking care of his insane wife of everything from cleaning her body , dressing up making her eat food and singing lullaby for her like a little doll.
More or less her Patibabu also done all the works to her, he had raised her. The difference is she is mentally fine and heroine is instable. That's it
Hero had a girl friend who suggested to let's get married and she too will take care of his first wife like a child but he can't let the age pass on like this. Still he didn't agree and bind himself to principles and stick on to his insane wife sincerely.
After few years in middle age she got fine and started loving him. Her husband made them married and sent her wholeheartedly with her lover
Bondita Recollected the day she got tattoed she asked why is he rejecting her because she is young and he replied that he is old.
Author expressed his opinions in such a way that she got everything and went away but he is left alone no one to take care and grown up men are not taken care by anyone except his wife.
So he is left alone and after few days the heroine married someone else he had passed away .
After reading this Bondita cried vigorously and imagined herself in that heroine role.
(Author's explanation: Teenage is a sensitive age , whatever they read or see it will have deep impact on teenagers mind and especially things we share with our classmates)
Epilogue of the story is hero ex gf blamed heroine that if you want to go away you could have informed me I am waiting for him all these years. I would have married him and stayed happily with him in last days. Because of you he doesn't get any happiness
Bondita believed the story blindly and decided that she should not be selfish like this heroine she had to do something for her Birristera babu.
If she can't do her duties as wife atleast she had to find a suitable bride for him. And she thought to search a good looking who matches his age and in all factors. Also she should be able to impress her ksj, sasurji, som dada and Bhatuk. And after thinking more she came to conclusion that Anita masterni is a perfect match for him in all ways.
Yes she will unite her barrister Babu with Anita masterni and get them married and make him settle in life. She can't take away his happiness for her own happiness.
Next day after class while studying she discussed her plan with Suketu and he laughed in his mind at her foolishness but to outside he told that he will help her she had taken good decision.
From that day onwards he had been advising silly ideas and she started following it. She had been praising infront of Anita masterni that Avinash babu is a very kind person , an eligible bachelor and all. But Anita didn't show any reaction much to the disappointment of Bondita.
She also tried the same technique on her Birristera babu but he asked in reverse that why are you telling me all these and started taking care of her and asking that have you prepared for exams and take rest. Not paying attention or even sparing a glance on Anita masterni.
After 2 days Suketu gave love letters idea. He and Binod wrote 2 love letters with Avinash and Anita names and gave it to Bondita and asked her to keep in their books hoping that this idea will work out
Precap: Anita and Anirudh are arguing with eachother about love letters. Just then Taposh also entered with police complaining that he is a fraud. Damini is devastated. A constable recognised him as Anirudh Roy Chowdhary and decided to inform kalindi Das. ..
When Anirudh is about to get arrested Thakuma out of pressure shouted stop..
