In Siliguri, after learning about her masterni being engaged with another person Bondita received a huge shock and unable to face her Patibabu.
Anita mother is upset with Bondita and she lashed out emotionally on Bondita for doing all these foolish things and betraying her masteni and kept everyone in tension. What if kuldeep misunderstand this and call off wedding Bondita bent her head shedding tears
Kuldeep said Anita mother : let it be maa she looks so young to understand all this. If anyone comes and tell anything will I misunderstand Anita?
(Author's explanation:A girl Receiving love letters, greeting card is not been as easy in previous era as it is in this generation. For them and especially to girls parents it is a biggest thing or may be sin and I am projecting as per that era and as per the situations)
Anirudh came forward and told that it is his mistake only his failure as a shikshak babu to my wife. I apologise you and her (Anita) also
He had sat on knees and apologized Anita and her parents. Bondita felt ashamed of herself for putting him in such situation . Bondita also came and apologized them
Anita said : let it be maa forgive her. She just behaved as a teenager and did it out of naivety .
Surendra explained everyone that how Suketu had trapped Bondita with his words and apologized Anita parents on behalf of Bondita.
Anita came to Bondita and lovingly pulling her ears (for that only Anirudh couldn't see and raised his hand to stop, Anita smirked and left Bondita's ears) and told: Bondita see how much love your Patibabu have on you. Next time if you have got any such doubts you should ask and discuss with someone whom you trust alot . Don't repeat these kind of Silly mistakes again and don't spoil your married life also.
Maintain professional life and personal life separately. Don't let others (Suketu and his gang) affect your mind. You should also think on your own and have your own opinions
Damini : haa wahi toh if anyone looks at your Patibabu you should be the one to burst on outsider but look at you what you have done. You yourself wants to handover him to other woman
Bondita apologized once again and
Anita parents, kuldeep and Anita also got convinced and left from there .
Bondita came to her Patibabu and tried to apologise him but he didn't pay attention and told to Surendra:
sir I have some important work . I will go and finish it and come.
She asked holding his hand and : Patibabu maaf karna. Sorry and then held her ears
He didn't say anything to her but turned to principal sir and said : Sir I will be back in some time . I need some time to keep my anger in control else I may burst out. Here people only remember my aggressive voice but not the feelings beside it. No one knows that I will also cry with her after I had bursted out .
(Bondita felt offended)
Now also I am not blaming or taunting her, even my mistake is also there . Whenever I get anger I used to burst like volcano and vent out all my anger without thinking of the opposite person's feelings who is infront of me.
I need some time to control my anger and come back as a calm person
He is about to leave without speaking to her or sparing glance at her. But she held his hand more tightly and said : Now this time my mistake is also there. When my mistake is there I should also have courage to accept it na. (He looked at her with tears in throat). I accept it Patibabu.
Anirudh: let me go Bondita may be I may shout on you
Bondita: Manzur hai
Anirudh: I may say harsh words to you and I will make you upset again
Bondita: Manzur hai. But I am not going to leave your hand and let you go alone.
Damini saas came and told both of them : you can go out and talk later on. But right now you all should come for dinner .
Bondita: Thakuma I need to apologise him now only. Let me talk to him first
Thakuma : I told you na..not now. Look at your faces both of you. I can easily say you both are hungry and with these empty stomachs if you go out and talk then your talks won't be healthy and wise talks. May be you both spoil the matter amd rupture it. That's why First you all come for dinner. Today I will serve everyone with my hands. After you eat you can go anywhere and talk
Taposh : But by that time it will become very late
Thakuma: you don't know Taposh our Anirudh babu used to talk with his wife in late nights in my room only and everyone laughed.
Later Thakuma made everyone one sit as couples including Surendra and Damini and she served with her hands and fed everyone each morsel without having any superiority complex or inhibitions, everyone are moved away by her love
Damini and Neelam also bonded well during dinner time
Later Anirudh and Bondita are walking on near by road silently.. while coming out she had made coocoa shells again and brought it with her. No one are there near by and few trees are there behind.
Initially no one talked but Bondita couldn't bear the silence for longer time and she herself gave one end cooca shell to him and asked him with eyes to Go and sit on near by big stone beside a tree and said: Tring...tring
He said : hello
She : Bondita ki maa bol rahi hoon jamayibabu
For a minute he recollected sumati , who told him fiercely in Tulsipur that she is breaking all ties with him. Till now he didn't tell this to her. Not only this but many things he didn't tell her Including his love on her
She said : Jamayibabu are you listening or not? Say something. Are you not interested to speak with me too?
He : Ji ..maa..Namaste ..boliye
She : I know that you are very angry on my Bondita. May be disappointed also . But she didn't betray you jamayibabu.
He: Maa what should I say? I have became an outsider and a stranger to Bondita. I have never consider her as burden. But she might be feeling me as her burden and may be as an unnecessary bond with me. Today I understood that She had separated me from her long time before. She was planning at my back without thinking of repercussions. Forget about me but she didn't think about her masterni also . She is the one who once tried to stop her ksj from forcefully getting her sampoorna didi to marry to Bihari. But what happened now? . She only decided one's lives by discussing with her story wala friends Suketu Binod and Niranjan.
Did she even ask me or her masterni once before working as a messenger to exchange love Letters between us? What if her fiance is not kuldeep or some orthodox person or person belong to an orthodox family? What If Anita ji had developed feelings on me? Will her life not get spoilt?
Bondita then started explaining her hesitations, her sampoorna didi words on marriage anniversary day that how young days are passing on by raising me and clarifying my doubts. I got everything at the cost of he losing everything..
The day she (Bondita) left Tulsipur also she told what all her Sampoorna didi told and these Suketu words and how she used to get nightmares about people sympathising him (Anirudh) for getting such kind of wife who couldn't give patni sukh to him and depriving him of some important part in married life.
She also didn't have courage to ask him or speak with him what it is and neither of them are telling it.
After reading Suketu story she imagined herself as selfish person and so all the situations, every day listening age gap, age gap point from Suketu mouth , nightmares that sampoorna didi telling that you are unfit for him,.. everything had forced her to do this stupid act of creating love between masterni and him. So that she want both of them get married and stay happily
Unlike on his fake second marriage day and post marriage rituals she should not be jealous of his choti patni but should be really happy for him deep inside her heart
She had chosen Anita masterni Because she looks like Manorama ji , also brave , educated and had good heart, ready to accept new changes and also know cooking and house hold chores and thought that she will be the one who will be liked by everyone in Roy Chowdhary family from ksj to bhatuk including you (Anirudh).
She finally concluded: I have done this for your ujjwal bhavishya. You should not stop because of me and get every happiness in world. I don't want to be selfish and forcefully bound you to me. You should get married and stay happily.
She bursted into tears but sobbing silently
He understood her pure heart and sat beside her and told : Bondita today I will tell you one story. All this time you have listened fake stories of kahani wala Suketu, right? Now you will listen a real story of mine, you will learn who is exactly Anirudh Roy Chowdhary and whom he love from his heart Based on that you decide what you should do. Based on your judgement I am ready to follow you whatever you say. But you have to promise that after listening my story , you have to take decision based on your feelings not out of any gratitude or any indebted feeling or any thankfulness or any guilty feeling mode. Now no feeling should overpower your decision. Leave all the feelings aside . Just focus on what I am going to tell you. Wada.
He forwarded his hand.
She said wholeheartedly: pakka wala wada hai Patibabu. I will listen fully with open heart and then only decide .
She looked at him with Curiosity
He started : There was a rich family son named Anirudh Roy Chowdhary , belong to Tulsipur zamindar family. Anirudh had studied barristry in London and returned 3 years back to Bharat with a dream of reforming society and bringing change here. And to work for women's welfare . Everyone in his family thought him as fitoori
He was supposed to propose to marry his childhood friend soudamini after returning from his friend sourav marriage.
But situations forced Anirudh to marry a little girl Bondita Das of nearly 11 years. He married her to save from one kupratha of sati ritual and had done another kupratha of child marriage.
On that day he was really flabbergasted he is in dilemma whether he had done correct thing or not.
After returning home with his new bride everyone had bursted on him including his lady love soudamini.
(With tears he told her) Out of desparation and frustration he too shouted on his little bride but it is not angry on her . It is just his pain he don't know what he is doing
What to do? He had filled a little girl forehead with vermilion who had childish looks , who looked very innocent and naive , who is very pure in heart and he had spoiled such kind of innocent soul childhood with his hands, made her his wife.
For him it doesn't make any difference between people performing sati ritual on her and he marrying her. Both are her culprits. Out of two deaths he had chosen to marry her and let her live physically and then make her capable and eligible in this world and create her own identity .
For many days he had been blaming himself, the situations. He always lived in that self loathing mode for spoiling not only little girl's life but also breaking his childhood friend's, his lady love trust whom he considered at that time that he loved her very deeply .
Out of his craziness he decided to do justification to both of them by alloting his time with them. Rather than accepting the truth that he is married to a girl he even thought of doing justice to soudamini, infact at some weak moments he had thought more about her than his wife, but he never expected that she was plotting against him at his back and he believed her blindly without using his Brain and common sense
When she pretended blind he became more blind than her and closed his self conscious and believed soudamini blindly and when he saw his little wife going with brijwasi he believed it so easily and made her stand as culprit.
He himself wanted to believe Soudamini more than his wife.
Not even once had he tried to find out the truth himself and had let everyone in village blame her.
Such is this foolish barrister Anirudh Roy Chowdhury - your Patibabu
(Bondita cried again)
After his little wife left then he started being Desparate for Bondita Thinking of her all the time and in those days without thinking much he had stayed in soudamini room for one whole night
(Bondita felt so uneasy with this. She didn't like the thought itself he is continuing..)
Everyone came and put blame on me that Anirudh have spent time with her , done wrong with her
Bondita asked : what is meant by wrong barrister Babu? Is it the same wrong that Suketu and his friends tried to do with me?
This time he don't want to hide his faults and said with a cold voice: haa Bondita.. approximately in that way only
She felt disheartened to listen this and asked him with trembling voice : I don't want to suspect you but I want to know one thing.
Did you really go close to her .. barrister Babu ? Like Binod opened his shirt and lifted me..in that way.. did you also open your shirt
He shooked his head and said : No Bondita. I didn't open my shirt like that infront of her or didn't take her advantage in any way or troubled her . I Infact I was tricked by her. But still my mistake is there in this.
She asked : what kind of mistake?
Anirudh: In those days I was under vilayat returned craziness and thought that I am helping my friend genuinely irrespective of looking at gender and not bothering about limits kept by society. I thought that I am correct.
But society had blamed soudamini and had Blackened her face and I agreed for marrying her out of pressure and sympathy on her.
(Bondita is looking with trembling heart. That means her Patibabu didn't love her at all)
Our engagement is also fixed and on the engagement day Rasiya bai made me realise my blunder and my double standard mentality and the humiliation you are facing as an abandoned woman and I couldn't continue with the engagement anymore and called it off and left for you.
After I have brought you back I have learnt soudamini selfish motives through kaka and exposed her and all her secrets came out including she had plotted on that night made me drink drowsy medicine and made me sleep in her room and next day morning thrown blame on me.
(Bondita now recollecting her ksj and Patibabu reprimands on Diwali day and now she is slowly understanding their words. She felt thankful that he was tricked by pari didi and he didn't touch her in wrong way.)
And time went on smoothly for nearly one year. In all these days our bonding , our attachment and affection also grown well until you have hit your puberty.
But everything changed after that
She asked : You only told na Patibabu changes are normal thing then why are you not agreeing it?
He said : Haaa Bondita changes in your body and mind are normal things. But some unexpected changes also started between us and disturbed me alot. Kaka wants us to share room together and then he , village women have filled your head with nonsense
Bondita: I really don't understand now also what is your problem in sharing room with me? When you didn't bother to take care of pari didi by staying in her room then why do you consider it as problem with me
Anirudh: Bondita! regarding taking care of soudamini I really have done a blunder in my life and I regret it whenever I recollect it and blame myself for my over confidence , over concern to do justification to everyone and also to my foolishness and dumbfounded nature .
I should have stayed in my limits after marrying you . Then atleast she might have hated me and gone away and looked after her own life. Atleast this much disturbance might not have happened
And regarding Room sharing, it is not an easy thing Bondita. ! if we start sharing room then you will be left with no option. Society will start considering us as husband and wife in all senses .
Bondita: All senses means Patibabu?
Anirudh : All senses means husband and wife will take care of eachother very closely and share everything without any shame or shy. That's what I can tell you now as per your age Bondita. But I will explain you everything after you crossed 15 years . But before that please don't ask anyone
When Bondita is thinking with increasing heartbeats that how much intimate could a husband and wife be , will they know eachother about everything ,every secrets of each other means does it include knowing each other's bodies also and trying to decipher the deep meaning he said : Bondita let me finish the story I have started.
She came out of thoughts thinking that no no no one should know other person's body and personal parts. I am only overthinking. Badmaash Bondita ,stop thinking dirty thoughts
She asked him to continue and he said : I have done another mistake of falling for Manorama too just by seeing at her bravery and after learning her marriage with Joydeep I decided to use same trick on you so that you will hate me and focus on your career.
She felt his ideas are foolish, at one side she wanted to laugh on him and other side she wanted to ask that even after we share good bond how can you fall for her, that means you don't have stable mind.
He is telling: After she had left him and gone away from Tulsipur he had realised an important thing in his life. Infact sumati maa had come that morning and taught me an important thing on love
She looked with widened eyes and asked : maa came to you? Did she scold you for me leaving sasural?
He said : Haa Bondita. Maa came and she reprimanded me for not understanding you but I didn't feel bad, I deserve her wrath , her hatred
On that day she had made me understand the real meaning of love and that day I have realised one thing..one most precious thing Bondita
She asked: what is it Patibabu?
Now he started feeling his heart beat increased and said nervously : That..that..my real love is someone and the feelings I had for soudamini and Manorama are just passing clouds which will fade out with time. But my real love is the one whom I have pushed away all this time and on that day after your left I realised that person importance in my life.
She asked him as murmuring: who ?
He said : I realised that..I am in love with you..just you .. Bondita.
She looked at him with wide eyes and her heart is beating fastly.
He said :I actually thought to tell it after you finish 15 years of age and then leave upto you to decide about your life partner. But situations are forcing me to express this now only.
That's why today I have opened up everything infront of you.. actually the day you came infront of me in Siliguri after 10 days hide and seek on that day itself I wanted to reveal you that I am in love with you but I didn't have courage.
I thought to first heal your heart and then reveal it.
I am not any great person but a person with Many flaws and defects. I had committed many unforgivable mistakes , my mind also acted impulsively out of hormones craziness and I may be committing mistakes , learning from mistakes and rectifying mistakes .
But loving you is never my mistake Bondita. Never
I have realised who is My real love and who is my soulmate and after that realisation I felt like I have known my destination and started being calm and more peaceful in mind. After learning a greatest lesson about love my hormones stopped being crazy, I haven't fallen for your Anita masterni braveness or kindness or to any women I met around whoever had any good quality which I admire.
Bondita is recollecting his words and the incidents that happened till date. Yes he had acted impulsively many times but when time comes he is the same person who had rectified his mistakes and he didn't even felt ashamed to apologise her.
Something is striking in her mind. No one are perfect in this world like Suketu used to blabber about perfect love stories. Everyone have their own defects and flaws. A Person becomes successful after lot of failures and her Patibabu is the only live example . Their bond is also developed strongly after lot of failures and misunderstandings
He told her sitting on knees:
Now tell me Bondita this is my story. This is what my original character. Now you take decision for yourself Bondita. Just for yourself . No hurry at all. Take your own time. It's your life afterall. You have full right to reject me and tell me that you are a rakshas babu, dusht babu . After listening all my flaws you can tell me that you hate me . You can tell me that : You are a bad character bartister babu. I hate you Barrister babu.
If you hate to see my face and annul marriage with me also I don't mind. I always take care of you and your happiness is my top priority and wherever you are I will come there to know about your well being. Even as your servant also
She embraced his neck and said : I want you as my patibabu forever and want you to stay beside me forever because..I ..too love you Patibabu
