Bondita is feeling heavy in her heart and unable to sleep .
Anirudh covered her with duvet and leaving her room with heavy heart but again came and patted her hair with teary eyes and told to her sleeping figure that : I won't let you have any scarcity in your life. No there should be nothing you should feel lacking in your life. Especially you won't feel any scarcity of love..may be I won't get you parents love (thinking that chances are there that aravind Mavayya condition is still critical and attaya is highly stubborn) but I will get you such a person in your life in future that he will fulfill all the void and emptiness in your life . THIS is my promise to you Bondita he told and went back to his room .
When he left Bondita raised from bed and cried vigorously. She thought: That means as Kamal uncle told, you will search for someone and handover me to him in future. I have to leave you and go and bursted into tears..
The thought itself is making her go mad, SUFFOCATING her , killing her inside . . Due to her teenage hormones she is feeling that the problem of marrying someone and separating from her bava is very near to her may happen at any time . she laid on bed lifelessly and out of exhaustion unknowingly her eyes are closed
Throughout the night she had similar kind of nightmares that her bava is getting her married with other person and biding her farewell, he is convincing that the other person in dream is best and perfect match for her , ......
In other dream apartment residents, Rekha and gang and her friend Deepika are blaming her that how can you think that you can love such a big man what is your age and his age have some sense, and some other elders are blaming her that is this the way you behave he had brought you to Delhi sending you to school buying what all you wanted and you ..you are willing to share your life with him. Don't you have manners. Don't you know your limits Shame on you Bondita
She also Recollected in sleep about sarada words that no one will take responsibility of growing girls in this society but her bava took that responsibility lovingly and looking after her willfully without any complaints.
Again and again everyone's words are repeating in her dreams
She woke up from nightmare panting hard and came into sense but couldn't sleep anymore and crying silently. She came out of her room and stood infront of his room and saw his sleeping Figure.. he is completely tired and is having sound sleep .
He is so serene always used to take care of her always wanted to give the best to her ..a smile crept up on her face with teary eyes. But what is she doing? Does she have authority to love him?
At that moment she lost her common sense and out of craziness and due to teenage hormones she thought that if she continued to stay with him he will get her married with other person in future. He and everyone will blame that how can you think that you have eligibility to love your bava who saved you who is making you educated and in other words literally raising you .
She thought to herself: Yes everyone will blame me like this only and I can't listen anyone insulting my feelings my admiration towards my bava. There is only one solution left
I should leave him and go away from his life right now .
That is the only solution for this problem and Decided to implement it next day itself before bava wakes up
_____________________
Next day morning Anirudh woke up and getting ready. He is surprised that there is no sound in Bondita's room and thinking what happened. He saw from outside. Her room is empty.
He thought may be she is in bathroom and kept on doing his work. Time is passing by but Bondita didn't come out from bathroom
Malini came to work and is making breakfast in kitchen trying to pack Bondita's lunch box. Anirudh asked her to leave that work, go and see what happened to Bondita . She is in bathroom from last 20 mins. Find out if her stomach is upset because of yesterday's food. I will take her to doctor if she is unwell
Malini went inside and knocked Bondita's bathroom door. It is unlocked and found that she is not there not even in her room, balcony also . She came out in a minute and told him that madam is not in bathroom or in room or in balcony
Anirudh is surprised and searched in complete flat again and came out and asked in madhukar house first . They told that they don't know they haven't seen her after yesterday night . He then came out and asked all apartment residents especially Rekha Sakshi and girls, next in Kumudini Tai house . They all also told that they don't know..
He became absolutely mad and again ran into flat and searched for Deepika number in Telephone diary and made call to her and asked about Bondita If she had called or came there . She is also surprised and told that she don't know about Bondita.
Anirudh is hell worried now he asked Deepika that are there any chances that Bondita had gone to any other friend's houses. Deepika told that only I am close her to her, Anna. Avanti and Sarat are just friends but not so close like me .
Tears started rolling down. Don't know what happened to her. How can she go missing. Soon Bondita's missing news spread in apartments and everyone started coming to his flat
Anirudh is controlling his tears and immediately made call to Satish and asked if Bondita came there. Satish also told that no Bondita didn't come here. She don't know the route also na
Anirudh had slipped receiver from his hand and fell on knees and started crying .
There other side Satish is screaming worriedly hello, hello Anirudh..speak up.
Madhukar came and took receiver and spoken with Satish and told the matter. Satish is also worried and told that he is coming right now.
Anirudh Is not understanding anything.. Everyone gathered at his flat and started giving advices and Recollecting and listing out what all mishaps happening in society and showing their sympathy and increasing his tension
After a while Watchman came there . Kumudini Tai shouted where have you gone till now .
Watchman replied that : Mourya sir is having alcohol since yesterday evening and still asking me to bring. He is in agressive mode. That's why..
Anirudh listened to Watchman's words lifelessly. He is not in a mood to know about anyone or anything . All he want is Bondita
Kumudini Tai informed Watchman worriedly about Bondita missing to him.
Watchman told that Early morning around 6 am when he is bringing milk packets basket for all apartments he saw Bondita beti is walking on opposite road . when he is about to call her there came group of national lorries and when I crossed road and came she went missing
Anirudh's heart is dropped listening to this .. what the hell is he listening.. Bondita . ...
He came and grabbed Watchman's collar and asked is it true. Watchman got scared to see his dark eyes and told it's true sir. I swear on my children and telling you this. I saw Bondita beti is going outside this morning. Anirudh left him lifelessly and got hurt
Apartment people Started their gossips that: why did she go like that where did she go for whom she went and their suspicions lead to teenage and high school love affairs exploiting girls, blah blah...
But ANIRUDH is not in a condition to respond to all this . His mind is thinking where she might have gone now he had to take police help..this is the only option left
He immediately called Satish mobile who is on the way and gave this news. Anirudh told that lets not waste time we should go to police station Despite of Satish warning not to go to police station as it's not a correct idea.
But ANIRUDH is not in a condition to think deep about all this and merely forgotten in which condition they came to Delhi all he want is Bondita right now and he could only take police help in this.
Satish tried to say something but Anirudh screamed painfully with tears : Bondita is missing ra and I am not in a condition to listen anything. Are you coming or not or should I go alone to station.
Satish told : Hey Anirudh ! don't do that. I am Coming but let me bring my father also with me . Please control yourself
Anirudh asked to make it fast and within one hour they three reached to police station.
There at the police station when they sat infront of their area SI, Anirudh took out Bondita's photo and gave it to him gave her details of name age which school she is studying and where they are living and from what time she is missing and all.
By seeing her only he commented that she is looking hot definitely this is love affair case only.
ANIRUDH clenched his fists angrily and about to raise from his seat but Satish made him sit forcely and whispered in Anirudh's ears: Anirudh ! You know how police will be. Already we are worried with Bondita missing and you don't increase problem by going against police. They don't mean about her personally. Just stay calm
SI asked about her parents her family.
Anirudh then realised the situation they are . He couldn't say the truth and SI asked rudely : what happened Mr. Tell me who are her parents where are her parents what is she to you.. why are you both staying together
Satish and vasudev told that she is an orphan everyone are dead in accident she only had her bava remained alive in her relatives circle and both are staying together as they have no one with them.
SI asked seriously: whose cousin is that girl yours or this man (Anirudh) why is he not answering and why are you answering
He then asked her name looks like Bengali are you from West Bengal.
Vasudeva told that it's not like that sir ..she was born in Calcutta her father kept that name as a gratitude towards Bengal state
SI asked about friends, love affairs and Anirudh is raising from seat and about to yell. SI also saw and asked him not to become hero infront of me . You are also a lawyer don't you know that opposing police officer who is on duty is a crime
Anirudh: even you also can speak softly and kindly about missing person. Not all will elope
Vaasudeva is trying to make him calm down .
SI mocked him and started accusing Anirudh and their relationship, his intentions to stay with minor girl. As they are cross cousins may be he only might have done something to her and it's increasing angry levels in Anirudh or probably she might be having affairs and blah blah blah..
With much difficult Vaasudeva and satish made Anirudh stay calm. Vaasudeva took out amount of nearly 25000 and gave to SI requested to take an unofficial complaint and please search for her. We will pay you once you find the girl.
SI calmed down and told that he will look into that matter and asked station writer to take details from them but don't register as complain and involved into other's case
While giving details head constable is also there and he raised doubt about teenage boys lustful men and sexual abuse on girls silently from neighbours .
He advised them that you too enquire people around you because lonely girls will be prey for every man from the one who just got moustache and beard to the old foxes whose spine didn't bend
This increased doubt in Anirudh's mind and he started Recollecting the apartment residents - apartment boys Rahul Varun and others, Govt officer varma and mysterious person Mourya... everyone are appearing as
suspicious to him
_________
Anirudh came back to flats and there apartment boys Rahul Varun and others were Talking about Bondita only and discussing that who is that lucky fellow enjoying with our baby.
Anirudh lost his temper he saw Watchman lathi near by took it and directly attacked them and started hitting them and screaming on them to tell where is Bondita? What have you done to her
They are scared to see him like that and screamed painfully and told that they don't know...they haven't seen her.
Boys parents came there and yelled on Anirudh pushed him aside and declared that their children are not that type.
Vaasudeva and satish are unable to control him. Anirudh also shouted that he heard them passing nasty comments about her they are calling her baby..they do smoke at night times and always ogling at girls
Parents felt ashamed and started hitting their boys who fumed with angry on Anirudh and felt insulted . They told by swearing on their parents that they don't know that girl is not that friendly to them.
Rekha also came and defended her brother and remaining boys and at that time she is scared to see Obsessed Anirudh who is looking no less than a monster
Just then mourya came into balcony with hangover. Anirudh's gaze and suspicion turned towards him and immediately ran and attacked him . He sneaked into Mourya flat and kicked him accusing that : Your gaze and talks always suspicious to me. Tell me where is Bondita what have you done to her
Just then the family photo of Mourya is about to fall which had his wife's and teenage daughter's in the Frame which had garland indicating that they are no more . Mourya went and caught hold of it and hugged the photo to his heart despite of Anirudh thrashing him.
Anirudh also stopped for a while and felt bad of himself. Many of them stepped there.
Watchman came and raised mourya and asked if he is fine. Mourya nodded.
Watchman told with tears that Mourya sir was a great man earlier before this apartment came his bungalow only used to be here .
He was a great psychiatrist Dr. Bhavesh and a spiritual follower . I used to work under him as a watchman since that time .
His enemies for whom he gave confession in court against them have raped his wife and daughter and killed mercilessly and thrown that blame on him . He was Unnecessarily sentenced to jail and released long back.
He gave his house to development and in that area only these apartments have come. Bhavesh sir had recommended my family to builder to work here .
Builder had given an apartment for him to stay . On my insistence only he came and settled here changed his name as Mourya . He was a great person. He never harm anyone. Due to situations he became introvert and always spending time in spiritual path
Bhavesh/Mourya stopped and wiping the blood he told: let it be ... ANIRUDH also don't mean to hurt me . He is under pressure and no one can think properly when people are affected by dear ones missing.
Turning to apartment residents he yelled : You all go. Don't make it an issue and more problem for him. You all also will do the same thing when your family members go missing.. all of you disperse back into your works
Anirudh felt guilty and looked at him with tears and folded his hands guiltily. Mourya shooked his head and held his folded hands and told : Not an issue Anirudh...not all drunkers will ogle at women. Few years back on August 15th only mishap happened and my wife and daughter passed away. I couldn't forgive myself for not being able to rescue them. That's why I always immerse in alcohol this day . I couldn't help it even though I know alcohol won't bring back my family. Go ..go and search for Bondita. If possible go and find where you have done mistake and what made Bondita go . Anirudh desparately went into flat.
When this ruckus is going on in Mourya flat vasudeva and kumudini Tai came into Anidita flat and started searching for any clue or any letter if she left. But nothing is found.
Anirudh came and asked seriously what are you doing
They both replied that If Bondita had left any letter
Anirudh asked painfully: That means are you thinking that she will leave me and go. No, why will she do that ? She will never leave me and go she likes me she is my friend and collapsed on sofa and started weeping.
Vaasudeva and kumudini Tai felt wierd for his words but kept quiet and consoled him and told that we can't waste time here let's go and enquire in school. What if she is facing any pressure any issues in studies or faced any humiliation in school
They all left to school and Anirudh literally ate principal's head to tell if they are pressurising students about their performances or any abuse is there on Bondita.
Principal called all teachers and classmates and everyone gave statement that they didn't pressurise Bondita and she is brilliant in studies.
Anirudh reminded about principal's words during admission time that not to mingle with board members children.
For that Deepika came forward and gave explanation that Bondita didn't get into tiff with anyone and none had eyed on her .
Anirudh is getting irked with each passing second for not getting any clue.
Where are you Bondita? What happened to you please come back to me - he is asking her each second and crying and feeling Desparate
He then got idea and again rushed to apartments and brought Watchman out and asked in which location had he seen her .
Watchman pointed out the area and he started asking about Bondita in near by shops, passing pedestrians and even beggars too . Everyone are telling that they haven't seen her .
________
In middle police came to apartments and enquired. They searched in flat and confirmed that she didn't elope as her Belongings are there and suspecting that she might have got into any criminals hands or met with accident
Anirudh's heart ached to listen this
That day morning and afternoon is passed away searching for her in besides place. Anirudh's anger and pain is increasing he is getting frustration . Now patience level had become very less.
At that time kalindi made a call . Anirudh lifted and by listening her voice he couldn't hold anymore and with crying voice he told : Peddamma! Our Bondita And stopped he grasped what BLUNDER he is going to commit
KALINDI nervously asked with almost yelling voice: what ANIRUDH? What Bondita? Why did you take her name after all these days
Satish came and glared seriously and shooked his head..
Anirudh kept hand on his mouth . There Kalindi kept on asking questions. The way he took Bondita's name is increasing kalindi anxiety. What is it indicating? Does that mean....
Anirudh wiped off his tears and told with stern voice and told : Nothing Peddamma I just had a nap and got had dream about Bondita. That's it. I will call you later and disconnected the phone nervously
He wiped his tears and Satish raised doubt that if there are any chances that her mother came to know about her existence and came and took her away silently.
Anirudh is scared for a second. He asked Satish to make a call to Hyderabad and enquire about it as an outsider.
Satish made a call to Hyderabad Nagendra Naidu house through STD booth and told that he is Judge Aravind friend my daughter and his daughter are friends and we went to foreign and returned back recently my daughter is asking for Aravind daughter Bondita. Can we speak with her and gave receiver to Anirudh who is listening silently.
The other person told : Aravind and Bondita are no more they passed away . Only sumati is alive and she is not there.
Anirudh then disconnected the phone and thinking about it
By the evening time Anirudh received a call from head constable and asked him to come for govt hospital mortuary and identify the body.
Anirudh is literally shivered and yelled on top of his lungs in phone that what are you saying
Satish came and took phone and told that they are coming.
ANIRUDH argued with his friend that how can you tell that we will come for identification.
Satish appeased and took him with her to mortuary . SI had shown dead body.
Anirudh is shouting that it's not Bondita don't try to divert the case we paid you money na you can't do this . I will pay you more. Go for searching but don't try to close the case by showing other's body.
SI shouted on Anirudh not to do drama don't teach our duty to us . Come and do as I say and dragged him there.
Anirudh closed his eyes with tears. Satish held his breath tightly and saw the body and shouted happily that it's not Bondita .. Anirudh! It's not Bondita
Vaasudeva also confirmed and then Anirudh opened his eyes and saw the body . Yes it's not Bondita and he left out deep breath..
Another constable whispered something in SI ears and SI got idea .
Vaasudeva requested SI to do proper investigation..he then asked everyone to come with them and all went in Jeep .
SI took them to red light area. Everyone are shocked and Anirudh asked why did you bring us here. What do you mean ? We asked you to search for Bondita?
SI asked vasudev to make him keep quiet. Head constable took them aside and told that : as per Watchman's verdict your girl is walking alone in lonely streets right .
Then there are some gangs of human traffickers who target lonely girls roaming aimlessly. That's why
Anirudh: HEY YOU
Head constable: shhh do you want your girl or not. What if she is really stucked up here. With your angry you are doing harm to her . Keep quiet and come searching
Vaasudeva yelled on Anirudh to have patience your angry won't work now or think Bondita is dead we will leave right now. Satish is requesting to keep quiet
Anirudh desparately followed them. SI shown her photo to one middle aged lady who passed some nasty comments and they asked if she came. Send her right now.
One goon told that we saw that girl going into one orphanage we even tried to speak but that girl is really tough when I tried to hold her hand she had thrown mud on me and ran .
Everyone are surprised to listen this. SI asked which area and that goon told the area
Co incidentally SI received a call stating that a 14 or 15 years girl came to join in orphanage but seems like she ran away from house . He asked everyone to start and all drove off to ORPHANAGE

Bunti told : Naanna! Amma became very Moody . She is not talking and sat in room holding Bondita's photo.
Trilochan went inside and asked what is the matter . Kalindi leaned on his shoulder and sobbed
Trilochan: what is this Kalindi? If you cry like this will Bondita feel happy there
KALINDI suggested that we should go to Delhi for Anirudh.
Trilochan is surprised and asked what ? But why all of a sudden? We will call him and ask him to come here.
Kalindi said no don't ask me anything but we should start to Delhi as soon as possible. We should meet our son there.
He is in pain
Trilochan: pain!? What pain ? Did he tell that to you
KALINDI shooked his head : He didn't tell but here I can feel that he is in pain ..our son is crying. how can we sit here. And broken into tears and leaned on his shoulder
Trilochan patted her and told till now we don't have his address how can we search for him
Kalindi: we will go to Delhi and call Anirudh directly. He will leave all work in middle and come to station. Trilochan nodded

SI took them to ORPHANAGE. Everyone are getting inside except Anirudh.
SI: HEY YOU ...HERO ..COME AND SEE IF YOUR GIRL IS THERE OR NOT.
Anirudh: No our Bondita won't be here. You are mistaken
SI grabbed his collar and dragged him into ORPHANAGE but Anirudh stopped him and yelled: You took me to mortuary, human trafficking place what else is left to see. My Bondita won't be here. That might be some other girl
But everyone took him inside.
Orphanage manager Came and introduced himself and told that there came a girl who requested them to let her join there but they denied to take her by seeing her appearance we are suspecting that she might have ran away from house. We asked her to leave. But she is not leaving
From morning onwards she sat in our orphanage entrance and didn't go anywhere. Despite of how much we asked her to leave and threatened her
she is not moving she is only telling that she don't have anyone. So we called you police and complained about her .
As a safety precaution we locked her in one room so that she won't run away from here and land in any dangerous situation or get into dangerous people hands
Anirudh : She might not be Bondita she is some other . Why will Bondita claim herself as orphan .
Vaasudeva held Anirudh's arm: Anirudh please we have to check once
Anirudh yelled painfully with tears ; No uncle no ..she is not Bondita..I am sure
SI asked them to bring him .
Vaasudeva and satish dragged him by appeasing him requesting him to let's have a look once . when they opened the door it's she ... Bondita only
Father and son are shocked to see her there . Her eyes are completely swollen and by seeing them she felt Ashamed of her stupid act of running away from house .
Satish: Anirudh see.
Bondita called : Bava ...
She could not face him and hung her head down with tears . Anirudh raised his head and saw her.
The moment he saw her he ran and embraced her and asked painfully where did you go Bondita and kissed her face out of anxiety and releif not knowing what he is doing exactly.
Bondita's heart is beating with excitement as well as with fear and guilty and stood dumbfounded. She still couldn't look into his eyes
