Anirudh faces money shortage to buy clothes for the girls. So he decided to return back the black board.
Bondita is looking at everything by standing far. She then comes near him.
Anirudh looks at her.
Anirudh: Haven't you slept yet, Anita?
Bondita: Why you detached the board?
Anirudh remains silent.
Bondita: Are you going to fix it some where else?
He nods no.
Bondita: Then?
Anirudh: Nothing, you go and sleep.
Bondita: No, i won't sleep. Tell me the truth, why you detached the board?
Anirudh: I don't need to answer you.
Bondita: Same way, I don't need to listen you. I won't sleep.
She blows her cheeks and holds her breath. Anirudh is shocked on her expression.
He recalls Bondita doing same thing whenever she needs something.
Anirudh: Bondita...
She turned towards him. Anirudh's eyes becomes moist.
Bondita: Kuch kaha?
Anirudh: Huh?
Bondita: I heard some name.
He nods no and continues his work.
Bondita: Are you going to tell me the truth or not?
Anirudh: I am going to return this board back, enough? Now go and sleep.
Bondita: Why? Girls are very happy upon this. They were even speaking about their classes happily. Why you are doing this now?
Anirudh: I know they were happy but tomorrow is new month. I have to buy them new clothes. I have even promised them that I will buy them slates and chalks.
Bondita: So, why are you returning this board?
Anirudh: There is shortage of money.
Bondita: What?!
Anirudh: I thought I would get my salary from yesterday's case but my unfortunate, case was postponed to next week.
Bondita: Ask your Kaka for money. Huh, I mean, I heard that your Kaka is zamindar. Then how come you face shortage of money?
Anirudh nods no.
Bondita: No means?
Anirudh: I want to do this with my own money. I opened this orphanage beyond many oppositions. I can't go and ask them money. And they already spent lots of money to my studies and to my....
He stopped.
Bondita: To your?
Anirudh: Now why am I telling these things to you? Anita, it's late go and sleep.
Bondita thinks on. Anirudh packs the board.
Bondita: Rukhiye, Barrister Babu.
Anirudh turned towards her. She went and took the board.
Anirudh: What are you doing?
She fixes the board back. He is confused.
Bondita: Education is much needed for girls than clothes. I saw happiness in everyone's eyes today when they were doing their homework. They gained new confidence today. No one should disappoint them.
Anirudh: I will buy this board back once I get my salary. Still that I will manage them to teach by oral.
Bondita removes one of her gold bangles and stretched it before him. He looks on.
Bondita: This is a gold bangle. Sell it and use the money to buy clothes for them.
Anirudh is just stunned.
Bondita: Get it, its a pure gold only not covering.
Anirudh: That's fine. I will manage somehow.
Bondita: Arey, I am not giving this as a gift just as a loan. Tomorrow girls must not get disappointed in both the cases. They must get their new clothes and education too. You shall return this money afterwards.
Anirudh gets it with much hesitation and looks on.
Bondita goes to her room.
Anirudh: Who are you? Why you are doing this? You told you are orphan but from where did you get this hallmark gold?
Bondita stopped walking with a widened eyes.
Anirudh: Tell me the truth.
Bondita turned back and stares at him.
Bondita: I should scold myself for helping you. Why in earth orphans should not have gold? This is my mom's bangle. Before my marriage, she gave this to me as a dowry.
Anirudh: Then why did you gave it to me?
Bondita: My marriage itself broken then what to do with this dowry?
Anirudh looks on silently.
Bondita: If you ask more questions then I will start cry here itself. Why you are always doubting on me?
Anirudh: I... I am...sorry. And yeah, thanks.
He smiled a bit. Bondita turned aside and went to her room. Anirudh goes to his Haveli.
It became morning. It's 4 am now.
Bondita is awake rest of them are sleeping. She prayed to God then came out to fetch some water.
She notices Anirudh's photo on the table. She took it in her hands and looks it without even blinking her eyes.
Automatically, her lips smiled a bit.
Bondita: I am here to revenge you but why my heart is not obeying me? I feel immense angry when you are not here but whenever you come in front my eyes my heart refuses to listen me. I don't know why? Like Devi said is there something wrong?
Her eyes became moist.
By this time, Bihari came there. Bondita jerked and kept the photo back.
Bihari thinks: This girl? Morning itself how will I handle her?
Bondita: Have you brought us breakfast in this early morning, bhari babu?
Bihari's face changed on hearing it.
Bihari: It's Bihari not bhari.
Bondita: I too said the same. Why what did you heard?
Bihari: Nothing. Chota Malik asked you all to get ready soon.
Bondita: Why? Is he going to take us to a trip?
Bihari: Nahi, today in our Haveli shrad puja is going to happen.
Bondita's smile reduced.
Bihari: Chota malik and Malik ji wants you all to join in puja. Today breakfast is also there only. So ask rest of the girls to get ready soon. You all must present there before 6 am.
He said and went from there.
Bondita thinks: Khonsa shrad puja? To pisi ma?
With doubts she woke up all the girls and informed them about it.
Devi: Is today your pisi ma ki shrad puja?
Bondita: I don't know.
She said in low voice with doubts.
Devi: Okay, anyhow. We are going there na we will find it.
Bondita: I am not coming. I am not interested in looking at their faces. And I will get more angry if I saw pisi ma photo there. How dare they are to do shrad puja to her after killing her mercilessly?
Devi: But Bondita we may get some idea if you come there.
Bondita: I am saying na, I am not interested. Leave me.
Devi: Then how will you have breakfast?
Bondita: I will stay hungry.
She said and went to take bath.
After some time, all the girls are ready to go to RC haveli except Bondita.
Pratha: Anita, aren't you coming?
Bondita: Huh, I feel feverish. So I am not coming.
Malika: Oh! Shall I stay here with you?
Bondita: Na, it's fine. I'll take care.
Devi looks on worryingly. Bondita nodded.
They all left to RC haveli.
~In RC Haveli~
Haveli is being prepared for the shrad puja.
Trilochan is busy looking at the breakfast menu.
Mandap is being ready.
These girls enters the Haveli.
Devi looks around and was stunned to see that much big Haveli.
All the girls went in. Devi too. But soon, she was shocked, shattered, stunned on looking at Bondita's childhood photo with a garland on the wall.
Devi thinks: Bondita's photo with garland?
She looks here and there. Everywhere she turn, she could see Bondita's photo.
She stopped a servant and asked whose Shrad puja is going to happen.
The servant replied that it was Bondita Malkin's.
Shattered and Confused to the core, she ran back to Anadh alay.
~In Orphanage~
Bondita looks at her coming fast.
Devi came running with heavy breathes.
Bondita: Devi?
Devi: Bon... Bondita...
She breaths heavily.
Bondita: What happened to you? Why you came running?
Devi: You... You are dead!
Bondita: Whaaat?!
What will happen next?
Just stay tuned to know about it!❤️
