Bondita told Trilochan keeping her pallu on her head: All these rasams we have done once na ksj what is the necessity to do once again. Let Somnath dada and Tupur go and do it. We will stay here only . I have to go and cover my new books pack my new school bag pencil box..
Anirudh is smiling happily to see Bondita's excitement to go to new school.
Her ksj told : Koyli will do that bahu . You have to go else your Thakuma will keep on mocking me and your Patibabu that these Zamindars don't have ethics and all.
Bondita: Still we can say any lame excuse and avoid it. Till now we have done all rasams na. It's enough
Anirudh also nodded with pretending smile and thanking Bondita in mind as she is trying to avoid the ackward situation they've to face there.
Even though he is forced to share room with her he is comfortable in his house and find a solution to maintain distance with Bondita because in his house all the rooms will be having sofas also in bedrooms along with huge cots but can't guarantee the same in Thakuma house and she is too sharp she will easily find out through a single glance that they both don't share physical relationship
Somnath came there hurriedly with Tupur: Boudi if you and dada won't go we both will also won't go
Anirudh with a pretending smile : Som ! We both have already done all rasams. But both of you didn't do na. You arw actually newly married couples and should have more attention than us. So you and Tupur go .
Somnath: No dada, if you won't go we also won't go. That's final.
Anirudh whispered with a pleasing tone: why are you at my back .
Somnath too whispered back : Dada yesterday I was Intoxicated
Anirudh with wide eyes asked : you both also..
Somnath nodded uncomfortably and said: Everything happened dada. These people spoiled my studies plan.
Anirudh shooked his head .
Trilochan asked : what are you both brothers sharing in each other's ears. They both said at a time: Nothing kaka.
Shomik came there and requested Anirudh to please come. Anirudh again tried to avoid but Shomik said: I know the reason for your hesitation. (Anirudh felt embarrassed and bent his head with guilt). You are worried that like yesterday again something will be mixed in food and drink and we will make you Intoxicated right jamayibabu?
They both didn't answer and Shomik told that : I promise you Anirudh jamayibabu.. it won't be repeated again. Please come for ousht mangla rasam for our home stay for tonight and then you can come back tomorrow morning
Kalindi from other side wall shouted plucking flowers: No use Shomik. These zamindars won't come. They will shower love or keep in distance as per their moods. But won't consider others Feelings. Nautanki log
Trilochan murmured to his Nephews: see I told you na ..She started throwing her tantrums
Anirudh shouted back in reply: It's not like that Thakuma. We four are coming now.
Kalindi smirked and thought: I know you well Anirudh Roy Chowdhary. You will feel offended and come into my terms if I say offending words to you.
Chandrachur also listened from window and is extremely Happy. From morning onwards he tried to escape from the house and go to Roy Chowdhary haveli side but he didn't get chance.
He decided to do something to separate Anirudh and Bondita and thinking what can he do. How to pierce their hearts
Somnath murmured in Anirudh's ears: Dada why don't you reject their invitation. If you reject it I can also escape and go to friend's house for combined studies.
Tupur listened it and felt offended. She is already upset that he asked her to take medicine and make sure that she won't become pregnant
Anirudh said to his brother: It's ok som just for today we will go and come back. Shomik kaku had promised us na.. we have to give them a chance
They four came to ousht mangla rasam and Rimjhim did arti to them. Kalindi is intentionally avoiding and sat away but she had already given strict instructions to Shomik and Rimjhim of how to do rasam.
Sumati is also avoiding it because she is disappointed with Bondita for not obeying kasam and also on herself that she couldn't take initiative to her daughter and move a step forward to forgive her. Here she had to wait until Thakuma allows to go near her daughter because she is elder of sasural and she had to obey her keeping her feelings aside.. She stayed beside Thakuma and helping her in making medicine.
Tapur is helping her mother in giving things
They four are made to sit in foot stools in frontyard and Shomik Rimjhim brought plates and kept there and asked first Anirudh to forward his feet
Sumati whispered to kalindi that he won't do this Thakuma
Kalindi is looking on. Anirudh stopped Shomik that : You are elder than me and equal to my father in age and by relationship also. You should not touch my feet and embarrass me like this.
Shomik is pleased to listen this.
Kalindi: Kuch bhi karke rasmon ka apman karne ka thaan liya hai kya (by hook or crook have you taken any oath to insult rituals)
Anirudh immediately raised and went to Kalindi : No Thakuma the rituals will happen. You just come with me.
Sumati is looking on
Kalindi asked him: where are you taking me? I don't want to involve in any of rasams. It's Shomik and Rimjhim desire. So go and let them do rasam. Don't disturb me I am preparing medicine.
Anirudh: For performing rituals only I am calling you Thakuma.
He turned to Sumati and said : You also come sumati maa.
Kalindi accused him: won't you do anything silently without creating any commotion. For this rasam why me and sumati are required.
Anirudh: I will tell Thakuma you come with me. He lovingly held her shoulders and asked her to come.
Kalindi is surprised to see this affection from Anirudh. She said : Arey..why don't you listen to me. Where are you taking me there.
But he didn't listen and made her sit in sofa.
Rimjhim: Jhoot kaho toh Jaan Lelo Anirudh jamayibabu! She is Thakuma by relationship means your dadi saas . You have to maintain distance and give her respect.
Anirudh: Haa kaki may be jamayibabu should be in limits but a son can touch his mother. And jamayibabu is also a son to sasural family
Kalindi eyes prickled tears. She hardly gulped it and at the same time he brought brass plate and lota which Shomik had kept for him and started cleaning her feet.
Kalindi immediately raised and shouted : Bas..what is this commotion? Who told you to do this. By doing this do you want to impose sin on our heads (yeh kya tamasha laga ke baitha hai tumne..kisne kaha hai aisa karne ka. Aisa karke paap chadaye ga kya hamare sar pe)
Anirudh also raised and said : No Thakuma I am not imposing any sin on your head. But showing my gratitude to you
Kalindi: Is everything taught to you in reverse system in your vilaayat. Gratitude is to be shown by girl's family to their son in laws for accepting their daughter not son in laws show to their sasural
Anirudh: No Thakuma gratitude is first to be shown by son in laws only. (He turned to Bondita and asked Thakuma) If you have not given birth to your daughters from where will we get our life partners
Kalindi: If not we some other family will offer their girl to you.
Anirudh: what if none in this world had offered their daughter to me from where will I or any man get his wife
Kalindi is thinking and Anirudh told : Just imagine Thakuma if everyone had stopped giving birth to girls from where will we men get our life partners
Kalindi doesn't have any answer. She is looking at him amazed.
Anirudh: You people had given BIRTH to girl raised her knowing from her birth onwards that you have to send her to another family and then (holding Bondita's hand he said) one day you will offer her hand in an unknown person's hand and send her with him and his family making your mind broad mind.
Kalindi is moved away inside and looking at him .
Anirudh: will we boys have the mental ability to change our surname, leave our family and come to new family and adjust with them
Even sometime before also my conscience is worried for a little change in my routine for one day but Bondita.. Bondita, Tupur or any girl will be ready to adjust in many things when they got married and came to sasural. You girls parents really train them and send them and you had courage to stay without them. That's why you people deserve this honour and respect Thakuma. Now don't deny my request. Come and sit here. It's a small honor from your son
Shomik came and told emotionally: If everyone are like you then no girl's parents will cry during their girls farewell in marriage
Kalindi couldn't say anything and sat in sofa. Anirudh had washed her feet and took her blessings. She again blessed him that he and Bondita should soon have children. Anirudh looked at her . She said my ashirwad won't go in vain. Anirudh smiled and said: Durga maa knows everything Thakuma she will give best to Bondita.
He asked sumati also to come.
She said : I can't come
Kalindi: She is widow
Anirudh: children will always see love in their mothers . Today I have got most precious gem my Bondita in my life because of sumati maa and I always thank her for moulding her into a gem.
He came to sumati and said : please sumati maa ! Come
Sumati is denying by covering her face kalindi is also telling when she is hesitating why are you forcing her
Bondita came to her mother and told : you have angry on me but not on him na. He is the one who had saved my life from sati pratha. He is the one who had given you job removed the biggest tension of bed wetting problem in my life and saved from Hiramandi
Today perhaps his favours doesn't worth in your mind but some other day you also felt happy and grateful to him na. So come and sit . He will feel happy and she controlled her tears because it's really hard on Bondita to stay away from her maa.
Sumati also felt sad that she herself had to stand in such a situation that she has to keep her daughter away.
Anirudh once again asked her : If you can't forgive us atleast forget about the pain we gave you for a moment and come for once.
She couldn't deny their request and looked at Thakuma. She nodded silently.
Sumati came and sat and he washed her feet. She hesitatingly kept her hand on his head and blessed him to stay happy.
There Chandrachur is seeing all this commotion and thought: looks like everyone are melting. If I spare him he will gradually win everyone's heart here. I should not spare him and create distance between him and my Bondita. I should break his heart at any cost.
He thought something viciously in mind
After he had washed sumati legs and she blessed him, Anirudh turned to Somnath and asked him also do the same. It's your responsibility to respect in laws like how Tupur respect you and our family.
Somnath also smiled and agreed : Ji dada. He too made Shomik and Rimjhim sit and washed their feet with respect and took their blessings. Tupur also felt happy to see this
Rimjhim: Jhoot kaho toh Jaan Lelo for the first time I am feeling happy that I have given birth to girl
Kalindi: Shomik! Just because they have washed feet will you keep quiet. Won't you adore them with gifts. Should I have to remind you all the time
Shomik nodded and gave clothes and gold chains bracelets to both son in laws. Anirudh denied that he doesn't want these gifts
Kalindi said in her boss tone: Badon ka ashirwad ko mana nahi kar sakte (Don't deny elders blessings)
Both son in laws took it and kept it aside and she asked Rimjhim to arrange for lunch..
Just then Chandrachur came silently from back and Hugged Bondita from back shocking everyone .
She is bewildered feeling suffocated and shouted: LEAVE ME .. LEAVE ME.... PATIBABU
But his grip is becoming more tighter and his hands are crawling on her belly to up and down to make her embarrassed and thinking that he is breaking Anirudh's heart telling: you are my wife ..how can I leave you and tried to kiss her
Everyone are astonished for this sudden incident.
Anirudh immediately shouted HEY... YOU .. LEAVE HER..
and held his collar and here Bondita also kicked him back with her leg and both pushed him away at a time with all force. Chandrachur fell on floor.
Bondita is in extreme shock for a while. His touch..she felt like a caterpillar or grasshopper crawled on her body. She felt so disgusting and violated.
Sumati came to Bondita forgetting everything. But before that Anirudh immediately went and hugged her asking: Are you fine and held her. She clinged to him more and said controlling her tears yes and panting hard as she is still feeling it. He rubbed her back to calm her down. He asked Tapur to bring water for Bondita. She immediately went into kitchen. Sumati remained in distance feeling sad for her daughter and their distance .
She bent and continuously slapped him and cursing him that: HOW DARE YOU TO TOUCH ME..HOW DARE YOU..DO YOU THINK I AM AN OBJECT..AND THAT TOO YOUR FILTHY HANDS HAVE ROAMED ON MY BODY...CHI..I HATE YOU..I HATE YOU..YOU MADE ME TO HATE MYSELF
Anirudh came and lifted him and declared to kalindi that : I am right now taking him to police station.
Kalindi said : No you can't make him arrested. He is my responsibility
Shomik: He is doing drama Pischi
Bondita came forward and said : Haa Thakuma..he is doing drama because now he is acting like a child but you only think one thing.. which child will know that husband and wife will hug each other. His touch doesn't make me feel that he is insane and childish natured person but infact it gave me a hint that he is a filthy person his touch made me feel that he is crazy about me.
Kalindi is in thoughts and looking suspiciously at Chandrachur
Chandrachur didn't expect that Bondita will rebuke this much on him and create doubt on him Anirudh is also dragging him to police station. So he had to do sympathy drama and divert this doubt raised in their minds.
He asked Shomik: Kaka you also held kaki like this only na yesterday night. I saw it See I also held my wife Bondita because Bondita is my wife na and started Clapping like a child
.
Shomik and Rimjhim felt embarrassed infront of everyone. Kalindi glared seriously at them
Tapur came to Bondita and gave her glass of water. She drank it eagerly and kalindi asked Tapur to go inside right now and Tapur went inside
Just then Chandrachur started crying like a child by sitting on floor that he is hungry..very hungry. I want maa.maa
Anirudh: Thakuma don't believe him he is acting..
.
Chandrachur tried his level best to act by not showing his feelings on face and win Thakuma sympathy while others are forcing her to throw him out.
Kalindi: One minute.
She lifted him and had seen into his face thoroughly. He is really acting like a child sniffing out of cries and she melted to his fake tears. She went and brought his parents photo and asked him to swear and tell that you are not lying.
Anirudh felt it as Disgusting that with one swear how can she believe him. He told the same but she is not listening and mocked him back : you came from Vilayaat and doesn't believe all this But in our Krishnanagar or anyone from this country from this culture one gives more importance to the promises than their lives. Also Chandrachur parents also value kasam alot.
She turned to Chandrachur and asked : Chandrachur! Kasam on your parents and tell did you see yesterday kaka and kaki staying close.
Chandrachur thought: I am sorry maa baba . Durga maa! Protect my parents And me also . My love is pure towards Bondita. Her Thakuma gave word that she will offer Bondita's pov in my hand and these all had forgotten their promises and asking me to PROMISE. What kind of justice is this. For genuine purpose only I am swearing and telling a lie but please protect my parents
Kalindi snapped again and asked : What are you thinking Chandrachur? Come on swear
Chandrachur sweared on his parents and told like a child that yes he has seen kaka and kaki yesterday night in their bedroom like this only. He is calling her Dharam patni ji.. dharam patni ji and she is calling him patidev..
Then I remember my maa telling that I will marry her (he said pointing to Bondita) that's why she is also my dharam patni ji and I am her patidev
She glared seriously at Shomik and Rimjhim and reprminaded them. : your one daughter got married another daughter is also growing in house need to get married and you both are still behaving like newly married couple. Shame on you both.
She called a male servant he came and she asked him to take Chandrachur into room feed him food inside room and make him sleep there. Chandrachur left the room with servant murmuring by pointing to her : Bondita..my dharam patni ji..I want to clinge to her.
Kalindi turned to Anirudh and said that : your angrezi doctor only told that he received a deep shock when you married Bondita. He had seen that marriage with his eyes and is highly disturbed. His mind had gone crazy and it takes time to come into normal state.
She went and brought prescription and paper statement about his condition and told him. He had gone through the papers and sighed out of disgust.
Rimjhim Reminded that Bondita should go through purification bath from head to toe as she became impure but Anirudh immediately interrupted and said : NO KAKI. MY BONDITA IS NOT IMPURE. ITS THAT FILTHY CHANDRACHUR WHO IS IMPURE..IF YOU CAN MAKE HIM PURIFY.. COUNSEL HIM... BUT NOT MY BONDITA.
Bondita is still feeling disgust of chandrachur touch and controlling her anger and sadness. She want to do something to her skin where he has touched her
Kalindi asked Rimjhim to serve lunch to jamayibabus and shomik first.
Anirudh asked that why only we men you all women should also join for lunch. But Kalindi told strictly that : first men and husbands eat later women
He tried to argue but she said : You only told na that you want to respect us this is my order and won't you respect it . After you both eat Bondita and Tupur will eat.
Bondita said : you eat first Patibabu. later I will eat
He looked at her face she is looking little sad and angry for what had happened and also her hands are on her stomach. He asked what happened you are controlling your hungry
She removed hands and closed her belly with pallu and said: Nothing... nothing. Go and eat first come I will serve you.
She and Tupur had served them along with their kaki ..While serving Somnath reminded whisperingly to Tupur of contraceptive medicine and asked her to prepare it here secretly and take it. She nodded reluctantly
Both brothers had lunch and later they sat in their alloted rooms. Later when Bondita and Tupur sat for lunch Rimjhim is kept on taunting emphasizing about other man touch in her body sympathising with Anirudh fate how can a husband take this ..to Bondita making her feel disgusted.
She became furious and out of angry she had pinched and injured her skin where Chandrachur hands had crawled and injured herself. Little blood came there. But she didn't bother ..and it's not paining her out of anger.
She wanted to go and change saree and throw away this saree. Infact for sometime before she is happy that she had danced with her Patibabu in restaurant but now this monster had filled it with his poisonous touch and words calling her Dharam patni ji..
She quickly finished lunch and went to her room where Anirudh is staying .
He came to her and asked : Are you ok now . Did you have your lunch full or left the plate in middle.
She nodded and said trying to pretend normal : I had my stomach full of food.
He smiled back and she asked him to go outside as she wanted to change saree.
He agreed and is about to go and she had accidentally put her fingers in between wardrobe doors and hurt her fingers. She screamed slightly: Aah and controlled her pain
Anirudh had seen it and Came to her and asked what happened and took her hand to see . It is hurt and had little blood drops on her sharp nails.
He is worried and had seen on wardrobe door if any nail is there. No nails are there.
He asked her : How did this blood come. Did you hurt anywhere in kitchen or living room
She shooked her head and said : Here only I had hurt while opening the wardrobe
Anirudh: Don't lie ..this wardrobe doesn't have any nail or any sharp item to pierce and blood oozes out. But still blood is coming..now tell me where did you get hurt
She said avoiding him and his gaze: leave it Patibabu..I want to change
He held her chin and made her look at him and asked : won't you answer me. What is that you are hiding with me
She said avoiding his gaze nothing but he cupped her cheeks and said : Will you tell me or not
She sniffed and tried to remove his hands but her sharp nails had pierced him . He then took her fingers and thought for a while.
While serving lunch her face is serious and she kept her hands on her belly.. Chandrachur hands also went on belly..that means...
He immediately asked : Bondita..I need your permission
She asked : permission for what..
He said looking into her eyes and said by bending head : To touch you ..will you
She couldn't deny and quietly nodded. But what she didn't expect is he had sat on knees and slightly removed the saree over her belly and saw that she had injured herself there . Her belly had nail marks as if she pierced her skin mercilessly
She immediately asked : what are you doing. And tried to cover it
He then asked: what did you do to yourself
She didn't reply and he said : No Bondita..this is not you and this should not be you..Do you understand? This should not be your character
She bursted into tears and hugged him telling: I feel so disgusted of his touch .I hate him .how can anyone touch without my permission? Why everyone are not like you Patibabu?
He patted her hair and said: No..no ..don't let this affect you and make you depress Bondita. Calm down..
She said out of frustration: whenever I am happy something will happen and make me depress . Today also I was so happy that I got admitted in new school , learnt table manners and danced with you all my happiness is spoiled by that monster .I hate him and she tried to hide her face in her knees and pull her hair
Anirudh held her and said : No.. Bondita. What I am telling? That this should not affect you. You should be like a sun which is always bright and gives light to others.
Sun rays fall on pure and impure things on all kinds of people does sun feel elated or depressed depend on whom his rays fall.
She shooked her head . He said : Then you also should be like that.. see Bondita whoever come near sun..danger is for whom for sun or the person who comes near him
She said : To the person who comes near him.
Anirudh: Then!? Sun doesn't have anything to do with purity and impurity. It is chandrachur who came near to this sun. He became impure and just pity on him because the day we expose him he will suffer to the worst. Now smile ..
She smiled back feeling relief for his words and he said : You sit here I will go and get turmeric paste for you and Thakuma or anyone. They will come and apply turmeric paste for you.
She said : meanwhile I will to change saree and he nodded
_______
In kitchen Tupur is preparing the medicine by sobbing silently. Anirudh came and asked for turmeric paste. She gave him covering her expressions. He thanked her and asked if she can come and apply haldi lep for Bondita.
She said : I am helping Thakuma. Can you ask Tapur jethji
He said ok and left. Meanwhile he asked remaining ladies to come and apply lep for Bondita and also for nail cutter she told that only scissors are there so he decided that he will cut her nails tomorrow and asked for help to all. Thakuma signaled everyone not to help so that he will only apply to Bondita and they come closer. He had left with no choice and left to their room with lep.
______
Rimjhim went into kitchen and saw that her daughter Tupur is making some medicine and so she asked what are you doing. Which medicine are you preparing. Are you not feeling well
She initially didn't say but Rimjhim insisted to say when your husband is inside the room what are you doing here.
She bursted infront of her mother and told Somnath behaviour as complaint that he is after his studies but not worried about her. He does not want our previous day union to convert into preganancy . You know maa how much I have endured the pain yesterday and all my hardwork is going in vain and hugged her mother and cried more
Rimjhim also consoled her daughter and said: I know this is why Thakuma also hates this Zamindars and I also wanted your marriage happen with the only son of a family but you didn't listen to me and got married secretly
Tupur : Maaf karna maa
Rimjhim: Now what is the use of asking Apology . Your marriage and suhagraat also happened.
She thought for a while and said : Ok do one thing. Don't take this medicine
Tupur : But what will I answer Somnath ji. He will ask me. From morning onwards he is eating my head already reminded me nearly 100 times to take medicine..take medicine..eat papaya. Get periods but don't get pregnant
Rimjhim: Then you lie it to him
Tupur asked with widened eyes : Lie..maa you only ask me not to lie and now you only
Rimjhim: Then what can I do ? Already a life is implanted in your womb and by harming it do you want to make sin .
Tupur shooked her head.
Rimjhim asked again: stopping child birth is a sin you know?
She then revealed what Chandrachur had did previous day and told that Bondita and her Patibabu also might have done that phoolsojja rasam yesterday and what if she gives heir before you. If you won't get pregnant you have to take care of Bondita children
This had hit Tupur hard.
She said : No I only want to win in this competition. I also want to become pregnant
Rimjhim: Then make sure nothing happens to your baby. Let it be grown inside. don't take this medicine
Tupur : But maa what will I answer Somnath ji
Rimjhim: Tell him that you have taken and don't know how you became pregnant. Once baby started growing he can't avoid it
She agreed reluctantly and left to room without taking medicine

When Anirudh went back to room with lep Bondita had changed to another saree putting pins .
He gave her lep and she looked for the one who came to apply lep. But no one came with him..
He said : everyone are busy in their works..maa also..so
She looked worried and asked : So.
He asked : can you apply it .
She immediately said : yes..give it to me and went aside and started applying it
He also turned aside and to avoid this ackward situation he then changed topic about their hotel visit and asked did she enjoy she said yes excitingly and said : I am so thrilled to dance with you and your expression is worth able to watch when that another guy came and forwarded his hand and asked me to dance with him and laughed
He turned to her and asked raising his eyebrows: Acha ... But when she is applying it he again turned back and asked : so if I won't say anything will you go and dance with him
She came there and said : Because I am very sure that you will stop me. That's why I was about to say yes to him as I have seen jealousy in your face like how I felt jealous when Julie ji hugged you and kissed you
He felt suddenly shy but controlled it and laughed and said : jal kukda babu..haa.
She : You too..jal kukda Patibabu
They both laughed and had forgotten their ackwardness.
Later in the night they had to sleep and unlike in their Roy Chowdhary haveli here they don't have sofas in bedroom
He asked her to sleep on bed and he placed the pillows on floor. She stopped him and asked him to sleep on bed at side as he will roll on floor.
He said defensively: I won't roll
She: yesterday I have seen you rolling and I have guarded you for more than 2 hours.
After a little argument he agreed to sleep on bed and she insisted to sleep in wall side only else she will sleep on floor.
He said accusingly: Day by day you are commanding me
She smiled and told Good night and turned aside.
He too turned another side with their backs facing eachother and slept silently.
In middle of night Anirudh got awaken and had seen a shadow falling from the room window and grasped that someone are trying to watch them secretly. He immediately opened door to go to window side but that person escaped from there. But through shadow he suspected that Chandrachur only might have tried to watch them secretly.
On the other hand Chandrachur hurriedly came into room and thought how to win Bondita. He decided to take one person's help from her sasural to pester her and make her sasural people suspect her character and throw her outside
For that he wants to go to Roy Chowdhary haveli and see who can be of his help in her sasural.
Precap: Chandrachur came to Roy Choudhury haveli and he accidentally filling sampoorna maang
