Bondita recived a phone call from Kalindi.
~In Dalhousie hostel~
Bondita: Aachima?
Kalindi: Have you forgot us?
Bondita: Illa, aachima. How do you know that I am here?
Kalindi: Kalindi has eyes all over Hindustan. Wherever my family be my eyes will be on them only.
She thinks of looking at Anirudh and Bondita standing outside the Oak leaf school before a day. She was there for a pilgrim.
Bondita: Achima, does Amma and Appa know that I am here?
Kalindi: No, why do they want to know about it?
Bondita remains silent.
Kalindi: First of all I should congratulate you for joining in school.
Bondita: Aren't you angry on me?
Kalindi: Why should I be angry on my grand daughter? Infact I am very happy on knowing this.
Bondita's lips widened to smile while Kalindi smirked cunningly.
Kalindi: How are you doing there? Everything fine? Do you want any help?
Bondita: Illa, aachima. I am fine here. How are you all? I miss you all a lot.
Kalindi: Hn, we too.
Bondita: Please give the phone to Amma.
Kalindi: She is not here. Once she come I will inform her about it. First of all tell me why your husband left you in hostel?
Bondita starts to explain everything to her.
~In Bombay hostel~
Anirudh is trying again and again to Dalhousie hostel but line is busy.
Anirudh: Who is talking to whom? Why line is busy?
He worries. Manyavar arrives there.
Manyavar: Give me the phone, I want to speak to my baba.
He nodded and gave it.
Manyavar dials to his baba meanwhile Harry came there.
Anirudh looks on. Harry straightway came and grabbed the receiver from Manyavar.
Manyavar: Heyy!!
Harry: I want to speak, you come afterwards.
Manyavar: But we are standing here na?
Harry: So what?
Anirudh stares at him.
Harry smirked and dials the number.
Manyavar and Anirudh went to their room.
Manyavar: Day by day his mischievous are growing. What we did to him? Why he is treating us like this?
Anirudh: You asked to be calm then why you are shouting now?
Manyavar: Anirudh, I am done. We must do something to them.
Anirudh: Ahan?
Manyavar: Please do something, Anirudh.
Anirudh giggled and nods no.
~In Dalhousie hostel~
Kalindi: Anirudh is in Bombay?
Bondita: Hn, aachima.
Kalindi thinks: Warey Wah! Bondita is away from those Roy Chaudharys?
She smirked.
Bondita: Helo... Helo... Achima...
Kalindi cuts the call.
Bondita: Why did she put off the call without telling anything?
She keeps back the receiver. Bella comes there.
Bondita moved aside and sat on a table next to the telephone.
Bella cleans the telephone with tissue with a disgusting face. Bondita is shattered.
Bella: Shit, these slaves hands on our phone? Oh god, I just have to clean it properly.
Bondita: Heyy, why you are cleaning it?
Bella: Because you are dirt. Slaves are dirt.
Bondita: We are not slave. And I am clean. Cleanliness is godliness. We follow it carefully than you people. Face is the index of your mind. If we are clean from mind then we are clean physically.
Bella: Now what are you coming to say?
Bondita: Change your wrong perception on Indians. Untouchability is a crime.
She said in anger.
Bella: Are you teaching me laws? Are you Barrister? Wait, don't even know letters then how will you go upto college? How will you become Barrister?
She laughed sarcastically.
Bondita: I will learn the letter soon. You will see it by your eyes. I will become Barrister Babu. For that only I am here.
Bella laughs again and again which hurts Bondita. She returns to her room angrily.
~In Bombay~
Anirudh is reading book.
Manyavar: Anirudh, come lets to go to dinner.
Anirudh: What's time now? Why so early?
Manyavar: In this college dinner time is 7 pm.
Anirudh: Oh! Okay, come lets go.
He rose up, they two came out of room.
Anirudh looks at telephone.
Manyavar: Move on, why you stopped?
Anirudh thinks: Bondita, will be waiting for me. Shall I call her now or after dinner?
Manyavar: What happened?
Anirudh: Manyavar, you go first. I will come after a phone call.
Manyavar: Phone call? Haven't you spoke yet?
He nods no.
Manyavar: Okay, let me wait then. You go and speak.
Anirudh went to telephone and dials to Dalhousie hostel.
His heartbeat raises slowly. His hands became chill.
Tring... Tring... Tring...
Anirudh thinks: What will I speak to her? Whatever it may be but i must not cry.
His eyes rolls here and there.
Tring... Tring... Tring...
At the final ring, Bondita herself took the call.
Her heart beats faster than ever. She takes receiver to her ear.
Anirudh is breathing in and out in anxious. Bondita could hear his breathing sound only.
His eyes became moist, words stuck on his throat. Same with Bondita.
Anirudh: Bo... Bondita...
Bondita breaks in tears but closes her mouth and tries to control it.
Anirudh: Bondita, can you hear me?
Bondita nods yes but didn't replied anything.
Anirudh: Helo... Helo... Bondita, are you in line?
Bondita controls herself.
Manyvar: What happened, Anirudh?
Anirudh: No one is speaking but attended the call.
Manyavar: Okay, let's try afterwards. Come lets go now.
Bondita nods no and tries to speak but words stuck on her throat.
Anirudh nods worryingly and is about to keep the receiver back.
Bondita gulped her throat and wipes her tears.
Bondita: Helo!!!
Anirudh jerked and took back the receiver to his ear.
Bondita: Helo...
Anirudh's eyes filled with tears.
Bondita: Helo, are you in line?
Anirudh: Hn, hn Bondita.
He smiled with tears.
Bondita: Pati...
She looks around. Elizabeth is sitting in room.
Bondita: Sakha babu, how are you?
Anirudh's smile reduced but understood her situation.
Anirudh: Bondita, I am fine. How are you?
Bondita: I miss you a lot here. Do you miss me?
Anirudh too misses her badly but decides to hide it so that she will not worry upon thinking about him.
Anirudh: How was your classes today?
Bondita thinks of the humiliation she faced.
Anirudh: Bondita, are you there? How was your classes?
Bondita decides not to tell him about it or else he will worry on hearing it.
Bondita: It was fine, Sakha babu. How was yours?
Anirudh: Mine was too good. Everyone clapped for me in my class.
Bondita thinks: But here everyone laughed upon on me.
Anirudh: Bondita, you are happy there right?
Tears rolls down from her eyes.
Bondita: I am happy here, Sakha babu. I got a new friend here. Her name is Devi.
Anirudh: Acha, I too got a new friend here. His name is Manyavar. Have you met pinky today?
Bondita: Hn, she came to my class but went back soon as her trauma came again.
Anirudh: What? Why it poked out suddenly?
Bondita thinks of her crying.
Anirudh: Sarpanch ji told me that it will poke out only when she get anxiety. What made her anxious?
Bondita: Don't know, Sakha babu.
She said in low voice.
Anirudh: Bondita, are you fine or are you hiding something from me?
Bondita remains silent.
Anirudh: Tell me whatever it is, i will give try to sort out it.
Bondita: Sakha babu, today in class...
Phone call disconnected.
Bondita: Helo... Helo.. Sakha babu...
Anirudh: Hello.... Hello, Bondita...
Bondita checks the receiver. British girls laughs upon her.
Bondita turned and looks at them. Sarah has phone wire on her hands.
Bondita stares at them angrily before she could shout Elizabeth and Devi came there.
Elizabeth: Girls, dinner time.
British girls smirked at Bondita and went with Elizabeth to dinner.
Bondita death stares at them. Later she and Devi went to dining hall.
~In Bombay hostel~
Anirudh thinks: What happened? Why she disconnected the call? She was about to tell something but disconnected. Is she really happy there?
He worries. Manyavar drags him to dining hall.
What will happen next?
Just stay tuned to know about it!❤️
