Lavanya tells Anirudh that she wants to take Bondita along with her to Madras as her parents are longing to see her once. On other hand Mini believed Anirudh's words and left India.
It's morning, Trilochan is doing puja as usual everyone are standing by.
Trilochan: Bahu, distribute the prashad.
Bondita nodded and distributes sweets to everyone.
Driver: Ji, today we are leaving to Madras.
Trilochan: Yeah sure, we were happy to have you here. I will ask Bihari to pack something to give in return.
Lavanya signs Bondita, Bondita looks at Anirudh.
Anirudh lifts his eyebrow and signals her "what?"
Bondita went near him and asked him to bow to her height.
Anirudh bowed down.
Bondita whispered: Pati babu, have you forgot? Lavanya akka wants me to accompany her to Madras. Did you asked permission from Kaka sasurji?
Anirudh whispered: Bondita, you really want to go with her?
Bondita whispered: Who will say no to meet their parents? I am so excited when she told me about that.
Anirudh thinks on.
Trilochan: What pati and patni are discussing secretly? What Bahu you want to give anything to your maternal house?
Anirudh: Kaka.. woh...
Trilochan: Han?
Anirudh: Bondita wants to go with them to Madras.
Trilochan's smile reduced. Bondita looks on.
Anirudh: Kaka, we knew very well how much she longs for her parents here. Her parents are also longing there. So...
Trilochan: So?!
Anirudh: Let her go with them now.
Somnath thinks: Well, send her immediately.
He smirked.
Trilochan: Anirudh, are you in senses? She is married now, how could we allow her to meet their parents?
Anirudh: Hn Kaka, she is married only not prisoned. What culture is this, denying a child to meet her parents!
Trilochan: What will the society talk about us? They won't listen to your philosophies instead they all will spread a rumour that you two got dispute, you two are separated that's why we sent her to her maternal house like this and all they will bad mouth about us.
Anirudh: You know very well, Kaka. I don't care about them.
Trilochan: But I do!
Anirudh: Okay, then. Let me also go with her. Is that fine?
Trilochan: Within one week of marriage, why you two want to go back to her maternal house? This will be a abshagun to both the families, Anirudh.
(It is 1920s so anything is believed among people).
Anirudh: Abshagun for what? Meeting her parents will bring her abshagun?
Bondita: Pati babu, leave it. Don't fight with Kaka sasurji for this small matter. I don't want to go to Madras.
Lavanya is shocked.
Anirudh: Bondita, you wait, I am speaking here na?
Bondita: Nahi, pati babu. It's okay. You two please don't fight in this early morning. I don't want to meet my Amma and appa. I will contact them via telephone.
Trilochan looks on.
Bondita: Lavanya akka, you remember our telephone number na? Please say it to pati babu, he will note it.
She said in a low voice. Anirudh worries.
Lavanya thinks: Oh god, if I go there without Bondita then aachima will throw me out of house. What will I do now?
Driver packed their luggages. Bihari helps them.
Lavanya: Bondita, why you changed your decision? You was very eager to meet your Amma and appa right?
Bondita: Ama, akka but here Kaka sasurji and pati babu are fighting now. If I stand stubborn to come with you then their fight will grow bigger. I don't want to leave Tulsipur amidst of their fights. I will come only if they send off me with happy faces.
Lavanya: But... How will I disappoint periya ayya and sumati ma? They will be eagerly waiting for you. Who knows they would have prepared your favourite sweets too.
Bondita worries, she purposefully manipulates her.
Anirudh: Lavanya, let her be. I am so proud of her for making her own wise decision. At the same time, I worry for her. You inform sasurji and sasuma that we will come soon on any special occasion.
Lavanya nodded in disappointment and leaves the house. Driver starts the jeep.
Bondita looks at them with tears full eyes.
Lavanya thinks: Now i should cook up some stories to save myself from aachima. I thought Anirudh would be the trouble here but Bondita's periya mama(Kaka sasurji) bumped in between.
Bondita waves Bye to them, the jeep started to move.
Bondita rushed to her room and started crying.
Anirudh noticed it and stares at Trilochan.
Trilochan: She will be alright soon.
Anirudh: Khub balo, Kaka! Sometimes you are being nice to her, sometimes you are being rude to her.
Trilochan: Anirudh, I am going these things just to protect you two from this society. You two small kids yet. You are only 18 and she is just 11. Protecting you from this society is my duty.
Anirudh: But Kaka...
Trilochan: You know very well, how people treated us before and how they are treating us now. Before and all even if we over come any of our traditions, they kept quite without arguing, but now everything has changed.
Anirudh nods no and goes to his room.
Trilochan worries.
~In room~
Bondita is crying, Anirudh tries to console her.
Bondita: I really miss my Amma and appa, pati babu.
Anirudh: Bondita, don't cry. Look here Lavanya has given your haveli telephone number. We shall talk to them this evening.
Bondita: But i was excited to meet them, pati babu.
Anirudh worries.
~In hall~
Somnath: Now why she is crying like this? Aaah, my ears are paining.
He said loudly. Bondita closed her mouth. Anirudh rose up to come out and scold him but Bondita holds his hands and nods no.
Somnath: I Can't even stay peacefully here! In mill, it is a machine means here this girl, cha!
Trilochan: She is a small girl, Somnath. Why you are comparing her with the machine?
Somnath: Because both sounds same Kaka.
Trilochan: What?! Even you cried in same way during your childhood.
Somnath stares at him and walks out.
~In Room~
Bondita: Pati babu, Somnath Anna used to cry the same way in his childhood?
Anirudh: Hn, Bondita. Even more than you! Whenever Baba goes to his work he used to weep aloud. Our neighbours used to call him as "aavaj dabbi".
Bondita started to laugh. Anirudh admired her laugh.
By this time, Trilochan calls everyone to hall for breakfast.
Bondita: Aah, my stomach is paining due to laughing. "Aavaj dabbi".
Anirudh: Ssh, don't tell him that i taught you this.
Bondita: Nahi pati babu, i will keep this as secret. Shotti!
Anirudh: Warey wah Bondita! You still remember this word?
Bondita smiled. They two went out to have breakfast.
What will happen next?
Just stay tuned to know about it!❤️
