Bondita classmate Deepika is from Telugu state like her whereas Avanti and Sarat are from different States.
Deepika: Bondita!? your name doesn't look like you are from Andhra state.
Sarat: yeah I think your elders or ancestors belong to Bengali right
Bondita smiled and about to tell that her origins are not from West Bengal but she kept quiet Recollecting that morning incident before starting to school her Anirudh bava asked her not to reveal her details much to her friends for time being. We have to be careful until right time comes. She too agreed back at home.
Deepika snapped and asked her: Bondita..where are you? Come into sense
Bondita: Sorry Deepika
Deepika: By the way you didn't reply us about you . Are you Bengali or from Andhrapradesh
Bondita: my father kept this name. I don't remember well but he used to say that our elders were used to stay in Bengal for many years we and so kept this name. Even I am born in Calcutta
Abhijoy who is beside their row bench Listened this and came forward with exciting voice: Hey are you from Bengal? Even I am also from Bengal. Nice meeting you Bondita..I am Abhijoy and forwarded his hand for handshake
Bondita casually gave handshake and wished : Hi Abhijoy and she too gave handshake but his grip is tightened didn't leave her hand immediately. And his nails were slightly piercing her
She remembered her bava lesson of good touch and bad touch. And thought why is he not leaving me.
At first She tried to remove her hand telling excuse me but he didn't leave and asked her : I am so happy to find a Bengali friend here. Really fed up of these other state boys you can ask me whatever help you want . Where do your ancestors used to stay in Bengal Bondu?
Bondita became serious and jerked away her hand forcely and told : See Abhijoy ! . Belonging to one state doesn't mean that you can be touchy touchy with me. True friendship doesn't look about place it only needs honesty and truthfulness
.
By the way I am not Bondu...my Name is Bondita. Unless I believe persons I can't give lenience to anyone to call me with nicknames. so if you please excuse me I will go and sit and went back to her seat and sat furiously
His face color is drained by her act and back bench his bench boys are laughing at him. Just then teacher came and started taking class
Sampath another classmate commented to Abhijoy: That girl is too tough yaar leave her
Abhijoy: How dare she is to jerk away my hand. These backbenchers have laughed at me. I will see her.
Classes are going smoothly and from higher class 11th std Rahul and Varun came in lunch break who are also her apartment residents to have a glimpse of her as they just saw that day morning in their apartments . They Introduced themselves and told that they all belong to same apartments and tried to speak with her . She too wished them with a smile
They both asked about her parents. She didn't reply properly at first and thinking what to answer her face color is draining at the mention of her parents.
But when they insisted to know about her parents she told that they are in foreign country went on an urgent business work will come back soon.
Abhijoy is also listening carefully.
Varun asked : who is that man with you ? Is he your brother
She immediately told shooking her head : He is my bava. My cousin.. she didn't like that idea of calling her bava as her brother
Deepika Interferred: bava! .you are staying with your bava? And looked at her as if she is staying with a ghost
Bondita nodded suspiciously
Rahul: Bava!? Means you are going to marry him?
Bondita heart beat skipped for a while at the thought and remembered his deep embrace in sleep on the day when they reached Delhi . She didn't reply
Rahul commented : In your Telugu movies they always show village bava maradalu (cross cousins) fall in love as soon as they reach teenage they used to roam in fields gardens and sing duet songs and ofcourse after lot of filmy drama they finally get married . Are you also going to marry him like that?
Everyone laughed at her.
(Author's explanation: Sorry friends the words which I have written above is the same comment which I have personally faced many years ago from my close friend in teenage . Even though we are in modern generation but somehow we all still facing regional discrimination here and there and people won't stop prejudicing who come from different regions and cultural background. That's why I am mentioning here. Please don't misunderstand me. Very Sorry 🙏. I am not telling that everyone will be like this but many behave in this way)
Before Bondita reacts Deepika got angry and shouted seriously on all : will you all stop showing your teeth? (Everyone became silent)
Deepika fumed with anger: If it's in movies what can we do? Those all are old movies . Shall we also start commenting about your language movies and find loopholes . Now situations are changing. Not all cross cousins are getting married in our side now a days . Bava maradalu can be friends and be like brother and sister also
Bondita didn't like this topic and cut it in middle Asking to: it's ok Deepika chill. Varun! Rahul! Which flats are you both staying.
They both became happy when Bondita spoke with them ..
Varun : we stay in third floor and Rekha is my elder sister pursuing engineering degree .
By listening to Deepika comments Varun is feeling happy inside thinking that Bondita is also thinking in same way like Deepika and immediately jumped into conclusion that line is cleared for him and his sister Rekha who told previous day to him about her crush on Anirudh as she was about to fall on srairs he came and held her almost pulled her into his s embrace.
Rahul interrupted and told : we stay in second floor Bondita..I am the only son of my parents my father and mother both are employees who are always busy. If you feel bored in your house you can come to our house. We will have fun. Even I also don't have anyone.
Varun is understanding his friend's intentions who told: ofcourse Bondita you can also come to our house infact my sister Rekha will be there who can be helpful to you. If you have any problems come and share with her she will be helpful to you in all matters I mean in your girls matters.
But Bondita didn't like that idea and cut them in middle telling: It's ok thankyou. Bell rang and they both left.
Abhijoy told his friends: Something is fishy with this girl. We have to find out the matter .
When Bondita returned back to her bench Deepika kept on venting out her frustration for sometime about cousins getting married pairing them up and Bondita asked her to leave the topic and focus on classes.
She and Deepika went to canteen and took evening snacks and fruits and then Bondita is going to law coaching classes section whereas Deepika is attending IIT entrance coaching classes
Deepika asked Bondita: why don't you join in IIT coaching. If you write IIT entrance you will have great career. Now a days huge demand is there for engineering and medicine only. Law chartered accountancy comes next
Bondita: Sorry Deepika but I am interested in law course.
Deepika tried to change Bondita's mindset to change into IIT coaching but Bondita stood stern on her decision that studying law is my dream passion and everything. For that only I came here and went to her classes.
There in law coaching classes in between explaining about analytical thinking faculty raised the topic about Hyderabad high court judge Aravind and discussed about a case and how he solved it and praised his talent . Bondita became emotional by listening it and thought emotionally: where are you Naanna? Why did you leave me and go?
_____
Other side Anirudh in hospital infront of Aravind who is in coma : Mavayya! You Can't leave us and go give up your life and make that evil Nagendra win over you . Come back Mavayya. Just come back for us, for your daughter and for your wife. And here I will work on your case secretly and gather all evidences against Nagendra Naidu and expose him and get him punished like anything. I will make our state govt recognise your struggle amd remove the stain on you It's a promise Mavayya.
He spoke with doctor who told that his condition is not yet improved still in coma . I can't give you hopes Mr Anirudh
Anirudh: but I didn't lose hope doctor. You please continue treatment.
Doctor said ok and Anirudh looked at time. It's evening time and he came out to buy a bike and went to showroom . Satish also came there speaking about the case which he filed and told that his father Is worried that we are going against a big shot in society. Even I am also highly tensed
Anirudh: oh stop worrying about it satish. Ratnakar is also a normal person like us . He doesn't have horns and not a super natural person and started looking at all bikes
Satish: But he had more influence and power than us
Anirudh: but Don't have money with him that's why he is searching reasons to deny in paying the mone
Satish: you are not taking seriously Anirudh
Anirudh: no You are only taking too seriously than imagined . Believe me ra.. I won't let him harm you and your family . If uncle receive the payment his influence in home will increase. Because of this debt only na your grandfather is not giving enough worth to your father. And his younger brothers and their wives are making fun of him your mother and you
Satish became sad. Anirudh kept hand on his shoulder and told softly: That's why I am trying to help him
Satish with tears: From starting of our friendship in London you are only more helpful to me and I have done nothing for you. Atleast I couldn't accomodate you and Bondita in our home.
Anirudh gave a friendly punch in his belly and told : from when did we start calculations in our bond . Are you planning to create any balance sheet to settle accounts. Haa tell me
Satish hugged him and Anirudh patted him back telling: enough.. enough . Now time is running fast help me in purchasing the new bike.
They finally selected one Suzuki bike finsihed payment and Anirudh asked him to come with me and sit in back seat first
Satish hurriedly told looking at his watch: Arey yaar I have forgotten to tell you. I need to purchase medicines for my grandma. I will take leave. By the way you keep my sister in your back seat first and both go to temple to do puja. Ok and left from there hurriedly
Anirudh Murmured: Sometimes he behaves too much and started from there to Bondita School.
As soon as classes are done Bondita and Deepika came out of campus at 6 pm . She is waiting Curiously outside for her bava. And Deepika also came back asking her to come with me in school van which is kept for high class girls separately .
Bondita denied and told : no Deepika it's ok. My bava is coming he will pick me up
Deepika didn't like the mention of the word bava ..she kept her disgusting expression and told : Don't just rely on your bava. It's not good .
Bondita asked furrowing her eyebrows: why ? why can't I rely on him
She didn't like Deepika in this matter except this she is a sweet girl .
Deepika: I am telling you na. Don't just depend on him . If he is your brother by relationship it's ok . But he is bava na..so roaming out with him here and there is a bad idea, If you keep on hanging out with him probably your parents And his parents will get idea to make your marriage with him in future.
By listening about marriage only Bondita's heart is beating fastly and trembling inside. She kept on remembering his cuddle in sleep and her heart beat speed raised like an accelerator
Deepika in her trance she is telling: That's why I am telling you to be careful. Don't give too much lenience to your bava
Bondita in her own thoughts is simply nodding to her friend not listening to what she is telling and just then Anirudh came there in his new bike .
Here Deepika is telling ' That's why I am telling you come with me in school van don't depend on him much . Speak with your parents and make your own arrangements
At the same time Anirudh shouted from opposite road : Bondita..
Bondita excitedly waved her hand and shouted bava and about to cross the road but vehicles are coming. He asked her to wait there only he will take U turn and come there.
She said ok
Here Deepika is warning Bondita to come with her in school van van driver will drop you but Bondita ignored and told happily that I am going now Deepika. See you tomorrow in classes . Bye and went to her bava with happy grin on her face
Deepika opened her mouth in wide and got annoyed that why Bondita is not paying attention to her words. As van driver gave horn she went and sat in van looking out from window to both of them
Bondita is trying hard to sit in back side as she don't have habit of sitting on bikes till then telling that Naanna always have car so she don't know and struggling to climb it by sitting aside
He got down and made her sit properly on back seat by keeping each leg aside and when he sat she is about to fall and held his shoulders and make him also shake
He then asked her to wrap her hands around his Belly so that she won't fall or slip in balancing .
She wrapped her arms around his belly and back hugged him. Bike Accelerator and both their heartbeat started raising .
They started towards home. Her entire day tiresome is getting vanished through this bike drive. He asked her in middle are you comfortable
She said : ye..yes bava.
And prayed that her heart beat should not be audible to him. But her chest is colliding with him and it started raising his heart beat suddenly and blamed himself: Damn you Anirudh . She is Bondita.. stop your Bloody thoughts..
She asked in his ear : did you say anything bava
She whispering in his ear is tickling him and he replied as nothing and thought: I think this bike idea is not at all correct. I should quickly start savings and buy a car as soon as possible
She saw a small temple on the way asked him to stop there. He asked why
She got down and told that we should get puja done to vehicle at first.
He said : Bondita, please... we will come later on . Now it's getting late you are too tired and must be feeling hungry
She blushed at the thought that he always worry about her hungry more than me and told it won't take more than 10 mins. Please bava and she asked him to give 100 rs and took it from him . She only went inside temple and convinced pujari (Panditji) and made him do puja for new bike pujari has kept tilak n both foreheads and he had broken coconut infront of bike and then blessed both of them as couple
Anirudh is surprised and tried to tell that we are not couple but at the same time she don't want any disturbance in pujari blessings so she hurried him to start the bike let's go back as she is feeling hungry now you are wasting time here
Anirudh gasped out because 10 mins before she said that lets finish puja and all of a sudden she is telling that she is feeling too hungry and thought that she is having mood swings because of teenage and ride to their apartments
There all apartment residents are wandering outside in cellar and as soon as their bike came into cellar everyone saw them together with wide mouths open especially Bondita is sitting in backseat almost hugging him so closely and Anirudh helping her to get down
Everyone's minds are running with different thoughts and are looking Curiously towards them
Rahul Varun and other boys are fuming with angry on Anirudh whereas Rekha sakshi and Rupa are feeling jealous on Bondita .
Rekha came and asked Varun: what did you tell me and whats happening here.
Varun: Take it easy didi. It might not be What we are thinking. Why should we lose hope.
Rekha sighed and left from there
When they got into lift kumudini Tai also got into lift with her vegetables basket and saw both of them with garland and Kumkum on their foreheads and started assuming things on her own.
When they reached their flat sarada came with carrier and Anirudh hesitated to take her help . She said it's ok why do you trouble yourself. If you start cooking now you will be having dinner at 9 pm. Moreover I am only giving items but you need to cook rice as I don't know how Much should I cook for you
Bondita told: we will cook Vadina (bhabhi) . Thankyou for making items for us
Sarada patted Bondita's cheeks lovingly with a smile.
Bondita is calling sarada as Vadina (bhabhi) because she consider Madhukar as her brother
Kumudini Tai poked her nose in between and mocked Sarada: Arey sarada even though you can cook but for how many days will you take trouble. Is it not burden for you to cook for extra people . They also may be having different tastes if you daily cook and send how can they refuse you and whether they like it or not they have to eat food prepared by you
Bondita shooked her head turning to sarada
Turning to Anirudh Kumudini Tai told : You see lad (చూడు బాబు/ Dekho ladka) if you want , that Malini who is working as maid in your flat know how to cook apart from other works. She cooks very well especially your Andhra dishes and tiffins. What do you say ?
Sarada know her intention and told: Let it be Tai I am there na. And by the way it's only for evening. I can manage.
But Anirudh told : It's ok sarada garu let Malini come for cooking. I will pay her extra Money It will be really difficult for you also to cook daily for us extra by looking after 2 years old boy
Kumudini Tai became elated and told: If you give spare flat keys she will come in evening and by the time you both come she will make everything ready . If you want also I will be there in flat What do you say ?
Anirudh: Thankyou aunty but don't take trouble. Tomorrow morning I will give spare keys for her and smiled
Kumudini Tai is in cloud nine and left to her apartment thinking that she can have full timepass in doing spy work on this boy and girl.
Sarada waited till Kumudini Tai disappeared from the sight she came and slightly scolded Anirudh for giving lenience to her. Now she won't keep quiet. She will come and search all your belongings with her microscope eyes and create more gossips about you
Anirudh laughed and told : I know sarada garu by seeing her curiosity I understood everything. But if we avoid also will she keep quiet..no na . That's why let her come and see what she want. Moreover the one who have secrets will worry but I don't have any secrets which will harm others. That's why I won't fear. Let her come and remaining I will manage. Thank you for dinner.
She left.
Bondita got refreshed and she came into kitchen and kept rice cooker. Anirudh also came there refreshed wearing tshirt and night pant told her that he will do she told that time won't be consumed if I keep rice cooker and kept it on stove
While keeping he saw slight pierce on her wrist took her hand into his and asked what is this
Bondita Recollected abhijoy painful handshake
When she didn't answer he only asked with dark expression who did this to you? Is there anyone who troubled you on first day itself
Bondita: it's nothing serious and then narrated about Abhijoy handshake
Anirudh: How dare he is ok I will come with you to class and talk to him tomorrow..
Bondita: No need Bava
Anirudh hissed: No need ? He hurt your skin and you are telling no need
Bondita: I have already answered him fiercely infront of everyone and asked him to stay in limits . If you involve he may spread the news that Bondita is behaving like a child can't take her own responsibility and stand for herself also. And people will keep on prejudicing about us. I don't want that It's ok unless situation is really danger please don't involve. I can manage..
When she requested softly he agreed and kept a bandaid on her wrist and then asked how is your entire day. She told about Deepika Avanti and Sarat and also about Rahul Varun our apartment boys belong to our school they are seniors to me
Anirudh became alerted and asked: Did they comment anything? ask anything about you?
She shooked and told : They just asked about my parents
Anirudh: what did you say.
Bondita: I told that they are in foreign country
Anirudh: Good Bondita. But be alert. Now you study after rice is ready I will set dining table and call you
She agreed and started doing her homework. He arranged dining table and called her.
They both are having dinner silently and while eating kumudini Tai appeared again.
Before Anirudh ask she only gave explanation that as tomorrow morning you will be busy na so to have spare keys I came here and trying to sneak inside.
There Bondita is sitting at dining table. Her seat is beside him and looking into their bedrooms Curiously
Anirudh grasped the intention behind her gaze and told: Aunty why do you trouble yourself. Tomorrow I will give keys to Malini only
Kumudini Tai : arey arey how can you give house keys to servant just like that .. what if she loot everything and go
Anirudh laughed and told : There are no costly items in our house so that she will loot and go. If she tried to loot or do any spying work here I have influence in police department here. I can make her arrested. So you don't worry.
Kumudini Tai face color is drained but still tried to tell : but still you can't trust anyone
Anirudh: Aunty ..relax why do you trouble yourself in this age . I plainly refused sarada garu help only. Will I trouble elders like you?
Kumudini Tai doesn't have anything to explain so she left silently from there.
Next day Anirudh gave spare keys to Malini and gave number of precautions indirectly threatened her to keep quiet. else he won't spare if anyone doing spying in his house. No word about me and Bondita madam should go out of this four halls of the flat
She nodded silently like a scared cat and literally shivered at his dark voice.
They got into bike again making everyone look suspiciously he dropped her in school and went to Vaasudeva office.
In school Deepika at first didn't talk.. Bondita also left her without disturbing
At office Industrialist Ratnakar sent his men to Vaasudeva office to threaten them. They tried to create chaos but Anirudh stopped them literally dragged them on road and started doing Jay jaykar to Ratnakar confusing everyone.
Anirudh told dramatically that he is a great fan of Industrialist Ratnakar who got into great position in very short period who is now trying to get into central level politics but when I came to know about this 3 crores debts of his I am so Shattered. Why should our Ratnakar bhai should have this debts no I can't take this
Their men asked him to stop drama but Anirudh didn't give up. He told that he got this news from media who work in Ratnakar bhai opposition party. Infact I stopped them and before they print the news I want to settle his problem. Being his follower can't I do this for my role model
They don't have answer and called Ratnakar and explained everything. Ratnakar is also confused and asked them to bring him to me
They asked Anirudh to come with them but he pretended as scared and told that Ratnakar bhai admired all his followers he can take trouble for people like us. Ask him only to come..
They are shocked but called him and told that they are not able to understand him at one side he is admiring you other side he is asking you only to come and exaggerating that you will do anything for your followers. Now what shall we do sir.
Ratnakar also felt strange and told that he will come now only and disconnected the phone.
Satish dragged him aside and asked :. Now what will happen
Anirudh: Just wait and see Satish and smirked

In school in maths class when Deepika is struggling with maths problem Bondita helped her and make her understand formula.
Deepika melted and apologized for her rude behaviour. Bondita said it's ok
Deepika then started brainwashing Bondita against bava maradalu relationship and told that I am worried about your safety Bondita.
Bondita tried to divert her telling that we can't waste time with unnecessary topics let's start reading in break time also so that we will have free time at home.
She made herself and Deepika busy with studies and kept on reading books in free time without giving much scope to comment about her bava.
In the evening Deepika again tried to brainwash her to come for IIT classes. You are intelligent in maths why are you wasting time in unnecessary law subject. Who gave this stupid idea for you. Just sit one day for IIT coaching class you will only understand your blunder
Bondita : DEEPIKA! PLEASE..
we both are friends that doesn't mean that you can interfere in my life and force me . Studying law is my passion and I can't give it up for anyone.
Deepika looked hurt and Bondita realised it and held her hands and told : See Deepika I can understand your concern but there is limit for everything. Even I am also not a kid. I too know what is right and wrong.
In these 2 days did I involve in your life And influenced you . No right. Similarly you also can't interfere in everyone's matter
Deepika mocked : Oh so you don't like friendship with me right. Fine I am sorry for troubling you and left from there.
Bondita sighed with disappointment
