After dinner Bondita took away her pallu from top of her head and then came into their room with water jug. After a long time she is feeling peaceful and happy that they are back together and also going to share a room together
Inside her Patibabu is reading a book at his bed side. She stopped in her tracks and looking at him admiringly .. after few seconds he saw her kept his book aside and came to her . She smiled at him and he asked why are you standing here.
She blushed and told : I am feeling like nav vadhu suddenly..
He asked raising his eyebrows: Nav vadhu? Why like that? (To tease her he intentionally told) But you don't look like nav vadhu for me Infact I feel like we have married some ages before and pressing his smile under his lips
She glared seriously at him and immediately puffed her cheeks. He tried to blow but she started running in their spacious room and outside balcony not giving much chance to him
Her giggle sounds are audible to Trilochan and Bhatuk Outside
Outside Bhatuk told his kaka : See kaka ! You heard boudi anklets running sound na. didn't I tell you.. now dada and boudi are very close ..so you need not worry for their bonding. Go and have a peaceful Sleep
Trilochan: But he told outside that he want to make bahu study.
Bhatuk asked sarcastically: what kaka! Didn't you grasp that it's an excuse. What do you expect him to tell exactly rather than lame excuses ? Will he tell openly that I want my wife in my room so that I can hug her and kiss her whenever and wherever I wanted
Trilochan telling: Shiv... Shiv.. shiv Bhatuk! You are totally shameless. And twsited Bhatuk's ear
Bhatuk is screaming dramatically to leave him else dada and boudi will leave their romance and come here. Your waris dream will be postponed
Trilochan left his ear and reprimanded him : Already you are spoiled don't know how much will you get spoiled there in that Italy and come back and raised his cane and held it around Bhatuk's neck
Bhatuk took out the cane and told : arey kaka for time being stop worrying about me and be happy for dada and boudi..I gave you good news about their Bonding and here you are punishing me in return . I am younger and your lad right ? . So you have to excuse me. Please kaka .
Trilochan smiled and patted bhatuk and thanked Durga maa : . Whatever happens is for good only you have proved it once again. If Bondita bahu also gives good news and Tupur bahu child is also fine then I don't have any desires. I will settle happily with my grandchildren
Bhatuk: Kaka! You have forgotten me. Don't you want to see your youngest bahu face
Trilochan taunted back : First you focus on our business there and don't get habituated to Vilayat culture like your father . Remember you have to select our Bharat girl only to marry else I won't spare you.. remember
Bhatuk: who know kaka where my girl had born ? Here in this country or there in Italy..and left to sleep
Inside Anirudh caught hold of her and wrapped his arms around her. she put her hands as pushing him and complained that recently you got very bad habits Patibabu
He asked: what bad habits Bondita ji?
She complained: at first you make fun of me and when I get serious you will start showing your love. Am I not looking like nav vadhu to you ? You are telling in such a way that we have crossed all limits
Anirudh picked her up and started walking towards their bedside and told : is it wrong in becoming old in our relationship. Becoming old means our bond had much depth and passionate and in talks he put her on bed and joined her later Hugged her tightly in his arms. She asked: now you got tension free Patibabu?
He said placing his cheek on her shoulder : Haa Bondita now I am tension free. Infact feeling relief after a long time .
Don't know whenever situations or people try to separate us I become mad ... extremely mad and feel suffocated. I can't take our Separation and differences of opinions between us at any cost. Whether it's during brijwasi betrayal time or you leaving to Siliguri I can't take our Separation . Don't know when you became reason for my survival
Her eyes picked tears and she cuddled him more tightly and stayed like that feeling blissful to hold him in her arms .
Later She looked at the book he is reading it's a novel she read out Sherlock Holmes detective and asked about him
He explained about Sherlock Holmes as a detective . His stories are all about solving mysterious cases and explained about the mystery of the case now he is reading
Wow Patibabu may be reading this book will help to increase our analytical thinking - she had shown her excitement that she will read it with him and started reading it .
He laughed and told that lets read together . At first they didn't get proper angle to read together as their heads are colliding she came and sat in his lap and told: now angle will set ..
He is gazing at her happily and she asked : what ...am I heavy to you
Anirudh intentionally to tease her : arey..haa..my legs .
She puffed her cheeks and he blown it and pulled her near to him by wrapping his arms around her belly.
It's so thrilling to stay in such proximity to him. She is feeling goosebumps over her body . She is feeling so so .. blissful to stay in such proximity..he kept his hands on top of her and started reading.
Some of the vocabulary is not getting to her and asked doubts. He corrected her and gave meanings to the words wherever she has doubts .
They both read it for a while and in between he told her : if you want you can sleep beside. Don't strain yourself .
She told that she is fine ..she will continue till she get sleep
After few more minutes he couldn't read it properly and got headache and closed his eyes
She turned her face to him and asked : what happened to you Patibabu
He said : Lightly having headache Bondita and kept book aside
She told : No it's not ok ..wait I will give you head massage.
He said : no Bondita..I will ask Bihari to keep coffee for me . A strong coffee can make Headache disappear
She gasped out loudly what ..
And yelled on him : Patibabu first thing is drinking coffee at late night is not good for health. and second thing is you want to ask coffee from Bihari rather than me and kept her hands on her waist
Anirudh said rubbing his hand on his forehead: Acha baaba sorry. Now will you make coffee for me.. please
Bondita: no Patibabu you should not make your body habituated to coffee this much. I have read in one newspaper that there is caffeine in coffee and consuming too much caffeine is not good for health and that too late night after dinner it will effect your nervous system and digestive system very badly. You just wait. I will come right now and ran to kitchen and put the coconut oil on fire and warmed it.
She poured it in one cup and brought to him and made him sit on easy chair tied one cloth around his neck and started massaging his scalp smoothly. She asked him to close his eyes
It's giving him a great relief and told that your fingers are really doing magic on me.
She smiled and started stroking his hair gently with finger tips telling: You didn't have proper sleep there in Chandrachur house for all these months worrying about my safety. That's why you are having headache. Atleast from now onwards you should have proper sleep
He nodded and after few minutes after his head massage she combed his hair back and removed excess oil with cloth and asked him to sleep today like this and do headbath tomorrow.
He asked taking her hands into his : How do you know this massage
She replied: I used to give head massage to myself with warm coconut oil whenever I am exhausted and stressed out .
Anirudh: But you didn't tell me ever before that you are exhausted and tired
Bondita : we were never close this much before
Anirudh: But later on you have to tell me
Bondita asked teasingly: why? Will you give me head massage?
Anirudh: do you think I won't give you?
Bondita chucked and told : we will see about it later but right now we have to think about you..
If you have headache again we will visit eye doctor for checkup.
Anirudh: Bondita ! it's all because of lack of sleep sometimes
Bondita: why? Why don't you get sleep Patibabu..
Anirudh looked into her eyes intently without replying.. she snapped him again and again asked why don't you get sleep? Tell me Patibabu
He came into his sense and said nothing turning away his gaze. She cupped his cheeks and turned him towards her and asked seriously: will you tell me or not. After we came this much far still you have secrets from me..!? Still you are considering me as a child
She looked hurt and he understood her
Concern took her hands into his hands and told : My heart is craving for companion at night time . That's why.. and became silent .. feeling guilty
Bondita cupped his cheeks again and told : why are you feeling ashamed to tell this ? And that too to me. And kissed his forehead and cheeks lovingly.
He cuddled her and laid back on pillow nuzzled his head in her neck. She started stroking his hair and said : I will put you to sleep daily with my magic.
Anirudh chuckled and closed his eyes. He got into deep sleep soon. She kissed his forehead and she too got into sleep with a happy smile

Next day morning Bondita woke up quickly released herself from his embrace and got down. She quickly got ready and came for arti. She wished everyone
Her ksj sasurji Catherine maa (in Bengali saree attire) and Tupur are at hall. By her arrival they are feeling that their family is completed .
Bondita and Tupur together did arti . Tupur only forwarded thali towards Bondita with a pleasant smile and made her catch arti thali. Bondita is surprised but immediately smiled at her sister
Trilochan felt happy to see their bond whereas Binoy and Catherine don't know much about their disputes so they felt elated to see two responsible bahus doing puja for welfare of their family.
Bondita took blessings of everyone and when Tupur tried to bend towards Bondita latter immediately stopped her and said what is this. You can't bend like this in this state.
Anirudh also got down and surprised to see good change in Tupur and felt happy
Tupur told with tears that she is taking her jhetani blessings to that jhetani who only know to do welfare to others Despite of how much people try to harm her . She only do good to her sisters and cried emotionally and hugged her sister and asked apology from her : in this condition I can't bend my back is aching but If possible forgive this wicked sister Bondita.. forgive me..and cried more.
Binoy : Da! What is this. Why is Tupur becoming so emotional? Do they have fight before?
Trilochan: Haa Binoy! Tupur never liked her sister before but after Bondita bahu and Anirudh left this house for sometime Tupur became so lonely and understood her sister and jethani worth in these few months. That's why she is apologizing Bondita bahu
Catherine looked suspiciously and asked Binoy : where is your second son Binoy? We came here three days before and from the day we came here that boy is not staying in home at all. Just coming and changing his dress and again rushing either to hospital or to his friends houses
Trilochan wiping his tears told : arey Catherine behen! Somnath is studying medicine na. That's why he is busy all these days
Catherine (in foreign accent) : still jethji his wife is pregnant here and Seems like that boy is not having responsibility. Do you know how much a woman craves for her husband's company in this stage? (And Recollected her sad past)
Trilochan is unable to answer Anirudh listened to their conversation came to his kaka and asked : what happened kaka ? Is Somnath not taking care of his wife? Anything Wrong?
When Trilochan is struggling to answer just then phone rang and Trilochan went to pick up the phone to escape from Anirudh because he know if Anirudh learn that Somnath and Tupur are not in good terms Anirudh will definitely burst on his brother
Trilochan lifted the receiver and it's Somnath on other side .
Trilochan: Arey Somnath beta, hundred years for you. Just now we are talking about you. Anirudh and your boudi Came back
Somnath from other side asked his kaka to call them he will talk to them.
Trilochan called them and both Anirudh Bondita came excitingly to speak with him
Somnath wished them how are you and expressed his joy that they are back and he is very happy for them.
Anirudh also spoken lovingly and gave receiver to Bondita. She also wished him happily and looked at Tupur.
Bondita: Som dada just a minute I will give phone to Tupur. You might be missing her na
Arey Tupur! Why are you staying away ? Come and talk to your husband
But Somnath told to Bondita that : Boudi. I am going to camp may not come for next 10 days. Just to wish you I made a call. I will talk with Tupur later on and disconnected the phone hurriedly
Bondita is surprised and glanced at receiver and told : kaat diya (he disconnected the phone)
Trilochan signaled Tupur to convince them who pretended smile and told : He might be busy Bondita. Later on at night time we will speak
Bondita smiled and teased her sister a while that you will be having private conversation with your husband at night time. Anirudh also smiled
But Tupur just pretended smile and turned aside wiping her tears without letting anyone see it.
Trilochan then reminded them that they should go to lunch to kalindi house.
They had a breakfast and Bondita and Bhatuk had studies session in their study room.
Anirudh took test for both of them and told : very good you both are upto date
Bhatuk then requested: Dada as I am upto date in syllabus can I go to tour with my friends before exams
Anirudh: Tour !? What tour Bhatuk?
Bhatuk: oh actually dada as I am going to Italy my friends are asking for treat. So..
Anirudh: No Bhatuk you can have fun after exams. Not before. This is unnecessary distraction
Bhatuk: please dada I have struggled day and night there at Chandrachur house to study and also participate in your drama. Please what's wrong if I take a break
Anirudh: None of your excuses work here Bhatuk
Bhatuk obviously turned to his boudi to help him who asked : which place have you planned to go
Anirudh: why? What's the use of asking that question when I am not ready to send him
Bhatuk told actually they want to go to hill station and have fun. He signaled his eyes to convince dada.
She thought for a while and asked her Patibabu to accept it. After a little bit persuasion he accepted to near by places for 2-3 days and that too he should stay in Roy Chowdhary guest Houses only and after returning he will keep test on all subjects
Bhatuk jumped out with joy and hugged his brother telling you are best dada .
Anirudh pulled him tightly and warned him in ears not to take any drinks that baba used to consume. If I learn about it no one will be worst than me
Bhatuk felt Bit disappointed but agreed. He shooked Bondita's hands and thanked her telling you are the best Boudi and stormed out from there
She asked: seems like you gave warning in his ears..is anything wrong Patibabu
He said nothing and to avoid her further questions he told her : come we have to go for thakuma house to have Lunch
______
At Das haveli Kalindi gave arti to both of them happily. Everyone are looking happy except Rimjhim
They had a friendly conversation and lead them to dining area where there are foot stools to sit and eat but arranged separately small dining table and chairs for Anirudh and Bondita and arranged as per vilayti model by keeping fruits tray in middle and spoon forks for Anirudh
Bondita asked excitingly: Thakuma you arranged all this ..
Kalindi with a smile told : Arey how can I know about Vilaayati culture tapur arranged it. She is now becoming smart
They both praised Tapur but Anirudh told that they will sit and eat down only with all of them. He insisted everyone to sit and eat with them despite of how much Thakuma hesitated to sit with their jamayibabu and eat
Anirudh only told : Now I am your son also.
They all had lunch . But still Rimjhim is not convinced And after lunch there came Chandrachur to Das haveli
Everyone are surprised. Kalindi asked seriously why did you come here. I am not previous foolish kalindi to come into your words. I know what all dirty games you played with my jamayibabu. Shame on you. You can leave and shown her hand towards gate
He had folded his hands with tears and apologized Thakuma.
Anirudh also convinced her to allow him that's all his dark past . We have to forget it.
Chandrachur forwarded the suitcase in his hands towards kalindi who asked what is this suitcase
He replied that ' This suitcase had money and jewelry which you have given us before as a dowry . I came to return you back.
At that time he doesn't have values in him and had sold himself but now he killed that old Chandrachur in him and reincarnated as a new person.
Demanding dowry is nothing but another form of begging by showing dictatorship. I don't want to beg anymore Thakuma by showing my masculinity as an eligibility for marriage. I will work hard and earn Money. Already my goddess Sampoorna had shown me the path of music and the income we receive on it is giving satisfaction to my soul . This money is a burden on my heart. Please take this back it's yours.
And kept the suitcase at her foot and folded hands and with much guilty he returned back telling that he and his family won't trouble them in any way.
They all felt happy to see the change in him.
Anirudh left Bondita with her mother for a while and both mother and daughter are having peaceful conversation after a long time
Bondita slept in her mother's lap and speaking affectionately about her Patibabu and his love
Sumati is stroking her hair and listening to it feeling happy that finally her daughter is also settling in her life.
Just then Rimjhim came and asked Bondita to stay away from her daughter Tupur in sasural.
Bondita asked why ? Today only she and Tupur came in good terms and started being friendly
Rimjhim told with her annoying voice to stay away else her daughter won't have safe delivery or again girl will be born to her not heir of Roy Chowdhary family and all her prayers will go in vain
Bondita tried to argue that girl and boy are same neither ksj nor sasurji Catherine maa and som dada have that discrimination but why are you raising Unnecessary gender differences
Rimjhim cut her in middle and asked her to save her arguments for her Patibabu not on me if you go near to Tupur no one will be worst than me and don't try to spread this news.
Bondita is about to answer but sumati stopped her in middle not to prolong this argument
Bondita asked why are you allowing kaki domination on you .
Sumati: she is highly insecured and very Jealous of me because Thakuma always appreciate my skills in managing house hold works. Leave it Bondita If kaki is not comfortable means then don't go near Tupur until she had safe delivery
Bondita is not convinced but still kept quiet
That evening Kalindi also came with Bondita to Roy Chowdhury Haveli with sweets and gifts new sarees clothes to everyone in family told that till now she didn't offer any gifts to her granddaughters sasural and now she is offering all this wholeheartedly to both her jamayibabus and also handed over land documents to Anirudh .
But Anirudh plainly rejected it telling that taking dowry is not correct thing . You already sent your precious daughters to our family. Don't loot your hard earned money like this
But kalindi also put her argument that it's blessing and gift from girl's family . If you treat us also as your parents you should not deny it and moreover it's also called as stree dhan . Your wife's property. You have full right to use it
Anirudh then told that he can take care of Bondita with his hard earned money . This is not needed.
But kalindi insisted that it's her mayka blessings and wishes. You only told na that she need not forget her mayka and moreover when you feel yourself as our son you should also accept our gifts
Anirudh felt embarrassed and told you give it to Bondita only .
Bondita: are we two different? Are we not one.
Trilochan is in cloud nine listening to his bahu words.
Even Kalindi is also feeling happy to see their bond.
Bondita came to her Patibabu and asked him to accept it . We will use it for noble cause which you will also feel happy. He agreed and took it
While leaving Trilochan also gave her gifts through Bihari wife and told seriously showing his Zamindar pride that till now we also didn't offer any gifts to our bahus mayka people. So you also should not deny it, Thakuma
Kalindi: I know Zamindars won't keep debts and I accept your gifts kaka.
Trilochan: I ..I am not your kaka
Kalindi: Am I your Thakuma? And shooked her head
Trilochan: I mean samdhan ji
Kalindi: Hmmm this is correct samdhiji everyone laughed
That day mid night Bondita came out of her Patibabu embrace and went to washroom and found that her periods came
As she is in middle of her sound sleep she searched for her napkins in her cupboard in half asleep state. But nowhere found.. not even one pad.
She Recollected that she had used all pads in these few months in Sampoorna house and now not even one pad is left. She didn't remind her Patibabu about this
Her drowsiness is gone and now she started worrying what to do.
She thought to go and ask Tupur but Recollected that her Patibabu told that Tupur won't have periods until she delivers a baby
She looked at her Patibabu he is in sound Sleep she only put him in sleep now she don't want to disturb him somehow she felt ashamed of herself that she is really irresponsible not even learnt how to make pads till now
She sat on floor with heavy blanket down and brought her knees close to her chest and decided to stay like this only till morning not to disturb him at any cost
Precap: Bondita became Frozen by sitting on cold floor
