In Hyderabad:
Sampoorna is packing both their clothes thinking about Anirudh's influence on a politician.
What is he doing there? Is he going to join in politics? As a Ratnakar advisor he must have earned alot in this 1 year . Then this vinayak will definitely won't leave this son also and get glued to him.
That Anirudh - even though he speaks some how harshly but still deep in his heart he still respects his father alot . He will also get attached to his father and in apt time he will expose my lies and make his father realise that I only have stolen his mother's jewellery, I was only Behind soudamini accusations in her marriage...and this blind fellow vinay will believe his son . Then what will be my condition here?
She is getting panicked thinking of all this . Just Then her mobile rang which made her feel jerked all at once .
She saw Jagannath (chandu grandpa) number on screen and smacked her forehead Murmuring: Now this old man also will eat my head and will add more salt to my injury and picked the phone wishing him with fake smile : Namastey Pedanaana garu (Tauji)
Jagannath mocked : In what way am I Pedanaana to you ? You cheap woman ...
Sampoorna trying to speak as softly as she can : why are you talking like that ? You are father in law of my husband and your late daughter is my ..
Jagannath: Enough ..you are just my son in law's concubine and that too the one whom I have only kept you in that position to provoke my son in law to separate him from his wife shobha . And to let that shobha suffer for what she or her family had done to my late daughter years ago
Sampoorna fumed with anger and cursed him in thoughts that : Despite of his age increasing this old man doesn't even have basic etiquettes of how to talk with a woman .. chi..how long will he be alive and staying healthy
Jagannath: What happened? Why are you silent?
Sampoorna told with pretending innocence: I am just waiting so that you will tell me the reason for calling sir (అయ్య గారూ/malik)
Jagannath: coming to the point what am I hearing? That you and my son in law are going for Delhi ? Is it true ? Is he planning to meet Anirudh there?
Sampoorna : yes, your son in law wants to meet his second son . Afterall he is now advisor to Ratnakar of opposition party in Delhi. Vinay Already gathered information about Anirudh from some of his known resources and we got to know by now that after Anirudh collaborating with him only that party had started getting popularity there ..much more than the ruling party.
Who wants to let such kind of useful son go out of his hand? Vinay also and stopped intentionally to irk Jagannath
Jagannath is fuming with angry and cursed Anirudh in thoughts that : yes even I also got the same information from some of my friends in ruling party.. That Anirudh is intentionally raising the image of that opposition party to show off about himself to his father and to defeat me because I have made his girl friend marriage with my grandson na . That's why he is taking revenge on us .
(Author's explanation: it is his misconception about Anirudh and his late mother shobha from starting onwards)
Sampoorna: Now why are you silent sir (అయ్య గారూ/malik) ? Are you worried that your friends in ruling party will be defeated in upcoming elections?.
Jagannath: SHUT UP! DID I ASK YOUR BLOODY OPINION? THAT ANIRUDH...THAT ANIRUDH IS Still A LITTLE BRAT INFRONT OF ME . WHAT IS HIS AGE AND WHAT IS MY AGE ? CAN HE UPROOT THE PRESTIGIOUS RULING PARTY THAT EASILY?
Anyways you don't blabber but listen to my commands.
Sampoorna: yes tell me
Jagannath: when you both visit that ANIRUDH find out his address and where he is working observe him very keenly and if you find anything fishy then create difference of opinions between father and son there itself. Do you understand?
Sampoorna: yes sir (అయ్య గారూ/malik) and disconnected the phone and thought: This old man had his own reasons and I have my own reasons . He don't want his son in law love his second son(Anirudh) and I don't want my jewellery theft truth to come out for that I have to keenly observe Anirudh and put him in any fix there and again separate him from vinayak and smirked viciously

In Delhi :
After what Satish grandma blabbered about her financially depending on him she became very silent and followed him to his house so silently to study .
Bondita is trying to study in Anirudh's house but Inside her heart she is thinking of what grandma told about her situation. Anirudh is cutting vegetables and preparing food for her thinking of how to dilute grandma words rooted in her mind
Without you people she might be on roads ? Dot she know this? Don't she need to have loyalty towards you people ? - This grandma words are echoing in her ears .
She couldn't continue reading and kept her books aside and came out and sat on steps and looking at road side holding her tears sadly .. this situation is hurting her inside
Anirudh saw this and sighed shooking his head. To lift her mood he started making bournvita for her and coffee for him for a break and friendly cum motivational talks .
He need to patch up with her badly and do friendship again and make her feel comfortable with him.. else this naive girl will feel too ashamed infront of him and this embarassment and cold shoulder is not good for both of them in any ways . Last time she had gone missing out of this craziness only . What if she do something like that again? No ..before anything like that happen he should do something to lift her mood without hurting her .
Outside Bondita is pressing her hands in her lap and feeling so embarrassed and ashamed infront of her bava . She closed her fists angrily hitting slightly on forehead and thinking what to do she is dependent on him financially also ..as long as she is dependent on him in money matters how can she run away from him and make him free. How can he move on in his life ?
She is now really a burden on him.. what can she do ? How to free him and let him move on? Money is necessary for anyone to live in this world.
To take law coaching and then to join law course she need money
Here in the big city Everything is quite expensive.. she is too young to look after herSelf she won't get any job and looking blankly at road side
How pitiful her situation is and she is about to hurt her clenched fist by banging it to wall but her hand is held by someone in air and when she turned back it is him - her Anirudh bava came with tray of two mugs and one newspaper in his other hand
He kept aside the tray and bent and opened her fists kept one huge cup in her hand and asked her to be careful because bournvita is hot . He told controlling his teasing smirk
Is he teasing her ? Here she is feeling so sad and thinking about how to free him but for him is it all a play ?
She looked angrily with her slightly swollen eyes and asked : what ? I am not bournvita
Anirudh cleared his throat and told controlling his smile pretending innocence: Bournvita ! I mean the beverage which you drink ..have it bourn..I mean Bondita.....it's very hot ....
She said no need and turned her face aside tried to keep it aside . He held her hand and told softly caressing her hair : you badly need this . I know and sat beside her with his coffee cup and started sipping his coffee
She is not drinking and feeling hesitated. He said : If you pass time like this it will form cream inside and I guess you don't like creamy milk and milk will be wasted so drink quickly. I have made it for you specially
She felt offended and told : yes your hardwork and money will be wasted if I spoil this . I won't let it happen and started drinking silently
He blamed the old woman in mind . Next second he has taken the newspaper in his hand and started reading Loudly about success story of girl which was published in newspaper who had topped in studies with her uncle's financial support and moral support Despite of facing hardships poverty in life and also being handicapped still she succeeded.
He read in such a way to make Bondita think.
Bondita didn't say anything and silently listening to him . He then motivated: See Bondita! Isn't she really great . How much hardwork she did in life and now she had got fruitful result . Soon she is going to join in her dream job and going to become inspiration to everyone.
She nodded silently but thinking deeply
Anirudh: This girl is also being supported by her uncle but that doesn't mean that it's a stain on her self esteem.
Her uncle might be happy for supporting her .. look at this photo and showed the joint photo of the girl and her uncle.
He asked: See Bondita ! How happy he is to help that girl. How precious are their smiles. Is he not looking satisfied and happy for supporting his niece all these years ..look at the pride in his face.
(Looking into air he told in trance state as foreseeing the future dream he told) When you become lawyer I will also look such proudly at you at that time . I am badly waiting for that moment.
He then looked at her and told: you too imagine that moment and the ambition infront of you . Just imagine! Everything is small infront of that proud moment right ? I mean every pain and sadness will get vanished at that time am I right ?
She looked at him emotionally and bent her head
He slowly placed his hand on her hand which is in her lap and started telling softly : Bondita ! all things can't be calculated in terms of money, number of give and take transactions. Some contributions give soul satisfaction also by helping and supporting their own people their close friends and looked into her eyes to see her reaction
She is looking at him without any expression. He told : Bondita ! Please. This is the time to focus on your studies not on what people nonsense words and fluctuating craziness. You will only Focus on your studies forgetting everything and everyone's words right ?
She nodded silently but still Somewhere not completely convinced in her heart . She is dependent on him financially and a burden to him which is a lump in her throat and in her heart.
He placed his hand on her cheek and told : Good ! Read this article completely. You will also feel motivated and gave her the paper and finished his coffee
At the same time his mobile rang and he went and lifted the phone ..
It's a call from vizag landline.. he lifted the call with a smile and told hello.
It's kalindi from other side : Anirudh! How are you and Bondita?
Anirudh: we both are fine how are you all?
KALINDI: we are also fine
Anirudh: Bondita is sitting outside shall I call her ?
Kalindi: No no I want to talk to you urgently about an important matter . come aside
Anirudh: I am aside only what is the matter Peddamma
Kalindi: Actually your Pedanaana is not taking this as serious problem but I can't sit peacefully without putting this information in your ears
Anirudh got worried and asked furrowing his eyebrows: what happened Peddamma? Is there any tension?
KALINDI: Yes . Yesterday night your father called here and asked about you and narrated brothers conversation that happened previous night
Anirudh asked seriously: now why that gentleman (his father) wanted this thief cum rapist phone number address all of a sudden? I don't hold any respect worth in his perspective na Peddamma then what work I can do for him?
KALINDI: Dont know naanna (Author's explanation: Here naanna means not father parents call their children as baba na similar kind of addressing)
..but I am worried that he will come there ..not worried I am damn sure he will come there because your Pedanaana Is telling that he is really happy almost in cloud nine thinking that you are earning money and fame in Delhi. Your Pedanaana didn't give your address because Bondita is there na and he should not know it but we can't understimate your father . He will use his influence and find out your address
Anirudh's eyes are widened and looked outside Bondita who is reading the article and is in thoughts
While Anirudh is talking outside Bondita's gaze fell on wanted columns in classifieds ads in corner. In some columns they have mentioned that they wanted 10th pass candidates also .. basic Salary is 3-4k per month and incentives will be paid as per their performance. Her eyes are widened and went in thoughts . An unknown smile crept up on her face
Kalindi is telling on other side worriedly: I am so worried if they find out the truth that Bondita is alive, they will definitely send her away to her mother who is now living with another man not as wife but as...(she couldn't finish)
Anirudh: Peddamma! Please... we don't know sumati attaya reasons so ..
Kalindi rebuked with teary voice : what reasons Anirudh!? What reasons could be there . There is only one reason..
Sumati had fallen for Nagendra money and political image and emotionally connected to him after my brother's demise or may be before his death only . And she might be thinking that now Bondita is also no more..so she has happily started her new life forgetting everyone . It is clear . No gratitude towards my brother and cried in phone
(Anirudh felt helpless listening to all this)
Kalindi controlled herself and told : My concern is about my brother's daughter . She is so small , young and and staying safely under your care . If your father finds out the truth then it will be a big mess ..
You also told na that she is under 18 and taking her responsibility is quite risky it's not accepted by court . That's why I am so worried naanna
Bondita silently went inside and brought out her notebook and pen.
She is involved in her thoughts so she didn't pay attention on his phone call and came out and started writing the address and phone numbers secretly
Inside Anirudh reduced his voice and told kalindi : Peddamma! You don't worry here no one knows this address. ..
Ratnakar or any of my clients only know that address not this address. I am still paying rent for that old flat and madhukar sarada are looking after that flat maintenance. I have already managed that old flats watchman no one will open their mouths
So if my father comes he will go there only but won't come here . I have already taken enough precautions that none of my clients whoever they are can't trace this address and come here . So Bondita is quite safe here .
If he(Vinayak) want, let him come I will manage him. You don't worry of anything
KALINDI: now I am feeling relieved.. also one more thing is there.
Anirudh: what is that?
Kalindi: after two weeks Aravind Mavayya first death anniversary is coming..
(Anirudh felt that his heart is twisted listening to this. They still didn't know his aravind Mavayya truth and still no good response is there in his condition)
KALINDI is telling: as you can't bring her here we are planning to do his first death anniversary in one holy place in Kashi(varansi/Benaras) .. if you can manage to bring Bondita at that time there ...
Anirudh cut her and immediately yelled : no Peddamma no. Don't do his death anniversary
KALINDI stopped and asked : what happened Anirudh? Why are you telling that we should not do his death anniversary. It's ritual naanna his soul will reach heaven
Anirudh : Peddamma! I want to ask you one favour. Can you do that ? (There is an urgency and pain in his voice)
KALINDI felt emotional with his tone and asked : what Anirudh?
Anirudh: Peddamma! You and Pedanaana have to do ayush homam on Aravind Mavayya name .
(Author's explanation: Ayush homam means havan /fire offerings to increase the longevity of person who is in critical condition)
KALINDI with teary voice: Anirudh!what are you saying? Ayush homam should be done for the one who is alive or the one who is struggling for life. Here Aravind
Outside Bondita saw another wanted column who had given ad that they wanted female workers to work in their company for part time qualification is not a constraint but they should have broad mind should be able to attend client meetings and If necessary they should be able to travel out of station whenever needed and travel allowance will be paid .
Bondita innocently thought smiling : for attending client meetings and traveling also why broad mind is needed. Crazy people it's not a big deal na . After becoming lawyer won't she travel for cases if needed and noted that address also
In phone Anirudh is telling Emotionally: I know Peddamma . I know . Aravind Mavayya left his last breath inorder to find out one truth of culprit and that purpose is not fulfilled. Until that purpose is not yet completed think that he is alive only think that he is breathing only . And here legally I am trying to make that culprit get punished in all ways . Until then that man is alive.
.. please don't ask me why? What ? Please do it. Just think that Aravind Mavayya is around us
Please do it secretly no one should know about it . Your prayers hold very power Peddamma please do it . I didn't mess up with any of the rituals so far. Here my intention is not to hurt your sentiments but after doing this I am damn sure there will be change in some situations
KALINDI sensed that there is a pain and anxiety in Anirudh's voice . His voice is trying to say something but he couldn't say it .
But she believes him with all her heart . He is really her son and they have mother son relationship with heart . So she agreed to what he is saying
He is requesting: please Peddamma. Please agree to this . Justice will happen and aravind Mavayya will be happy
KALINDI wholeheartedly told : As you say Anirudh
He said with breaking voice : Thankyou Peddamma thankyou so much
Bondita made rough calculation that how much can she earn and what are her school expenses and her personal expenses and thought that she will do hardwork and earn more so that she need not depend on her bava and he also can go away freely without her tension.
KALINDI: is Bondita there ?
Anirudh told with a smile: yes Peddamma. One minute and called her
Bondita immediately hidden the phone numbers list which she had written on paper and came inside
Anirudh gave phone to Bondita telling that it's Peddamma phone and he involved in cooking food thinking how to manage his father . What if his third wife comes with him? She is too cunning always tries to frame him in embarassing situations he had to manage her also very cleverly
There KALINDI is asking how are you Bondita is bava taking care of you. Is he talking lovingly to you
Bondita felt sad inside grasping the intention of her Attamma but pretended happiness In her tone that : yes attama bava is really taking care of me . I need not open my mouth and tell also . He will grasp it
Anirudh listened it and felt hurt inside thinking of this distance and silence.
KALINDI felt happy and asked : you are studying well right ?
Bondita: yes how is Mavaya and bunti shekar bava
Kalindi: All are fine here . Sekhar bava is in 5th year of medicine now and this bunti scored upto 70% and going to join in Intermediate college
Ok study well do you want anything from here I will send from here
Bondita: No Attamma I don't want anything from here
After speaking a while she disconnected the phone . That afternoon on his insistence she ate there .
He informed her : After one week your 11 th std classes are going to start. Do you want to buy new uniform for 11th STD .
She said : No last year uniform Is there
Anirudh: How about any essentials of yours to purchase? Any of clothes.. garments..I hope you understand na
Bondita: No... everything are there . You have done more than I needed
Anirudh: what ?
Bondita adjusted herself and told : I mean you have already given money and I have purchased more. So not required.
She quickly finished lunch and told that I have done bava . I am going.. night I will eat there only . I won't come here and stormed out ..
He remained silent and looking at her blankly feeling hurt he convinced himself that as long as she studies well then there is no problem
When she came back elder couple are having afternoon nap and except Indira aunty no one are there
She thought that it's the best time to make phone calls to classified ads . She requested Indira who immediately agreed to take phone and make phone calls. At that time she is knitting something and so she is in her room
She started making phone calls and noted their addresses one by one and decided to attend interviews in this one week before she go back to school and adjust to the timings . She again thought but what should I answer bava or anyone ..
She thought for a while and made call to Deepika and asked her one favour to lie to her bava that you wanted me to join you for combined studies for one week .
Deepika is hell worried and asked why should I lie that this one week you are coming to our house for combined studies and where are you going in that time . And moreover how can I lie you are preparing for clat and I am preparing for IIT . Then why will your bava listen to our lies ..
Bondita thought for a while and told : ok tell him that you have got question bank for 11th STD books and we will be having common syllabus for it na. So no problem
Deepika: why all this Bondita?
Bondita: please Deepu for me. It's really important for me . Please please..
Deepika reluctantly agreed and asked atleast Inform me where you are going.
She told that she will tell tomorrow and disconnected the phone
_____
Next day morning when Anirudh is doing meditation with narayana and co he received a call from his old flat watchman and informed that Mr. VINAYAK came here for you alongwith his wife and waiting for you at door side.
I have managed that you have got out of night for complete day and didn't come yet. Please come sir
Anirudh told I am coming and quickly got refreshed and about to start. Bondita saw that he is in hurry she went to satish landline and made call to Deepika to call her bava and take his permission.
Deepika called Anirudh's land line and asked him to send Bondita for one week they will study maths subject for this one week.
He told that he will send her with Satish . Deepika worriedly told : No need annaya Charan will come and pick her up if you don't mind . Today she will have lunch here only
Anirudh know that Charan is genuine guy and he said ok and warned her to be careful and study well only Studies not on unnecessary chitchat things
Deepika covering her nervousness told yes and he called Bondita and informed her the same that charan is going to come to take her to their house .
She nodded honestly and he hurriedly informed the matter to satish and immediately left to his flat with jet speed
Here Bondita also got ready in one decent salwar kameez with pony tail and kept her 10th class certificate in one folder and came out . But she saw Satish in living room and got worried. She can't carry the folder like that and go out . She came inside and kept it in her newly bought college going bag and came out as if going for combined studies
Satish is still there doing his breakfast and asked her to come and join him and asked what's the matter you didn't look like going for combined studies.
She looked nervous and he bent to her and told : now I grasped the matter . You and Deepika are going for movie right ?
She looked nervously and he laughed out loudly and asked am I telling correct only na? You know what you can tell me anything
Bondita said not meeting his gaze : for combined studies annaya
Satish: ok I will drop you there
Bondita said nervously: I can manage annaya. Charan is coming. He will take me there .
Satish : Are you ok going with him?
Bondita: he is nice person annaya. Like you only ..you please go on with your work
Satish agreed and left to office. Bondita managed to lie to Indira that charan already came waiting outside gate and she is going. Indira is also about to come with her to gate side but Bondita diverted that grandma is asking for you since morning please find what's the matter
Indira went to look after and asked her to go and come carefully. Bondita managed to come outside and quickly grabbed an auto
_______
Anirudh reached his old flat in bike and came upstairs . There he saw his father and step mother are coming out for him from madhukar apartment with luggage in their hands
VINAYAK called Anirudh with a proud smile on his face and streched his arms to hug his son but Anirudh took his blessings and told slowly audible to his father that I didn't earn money as per your expectations naanna . So probably I may not be eligible for your hug.
Vinayak know his son's mockery but didn't bother much and told : come on my boy and hugged him tightly
Madhukar told in cryptic language that your father came one hour ago and asking for you . As you went out for work they are worrying for you and asking for you
He had broken his father's embrace and did Namaste silently for Sampoorna. She asked where are you complete night ?
Anirudh: I went out on important work
Sampoorna: Throughout the night? ... I don't know that in Delhi courts are working at night time also . Strange?.
Anirudh: I have went to clients house on case work and stucked up there and opened the door
Sampoorna stepped in and asked : like this how many nights you are staying in clients houses ?
Anirudh also replied arrogantly: My wish ..I don't think it costs your husband anything wherever I stay
Precap: when vinayak is talking with Anirudh he got a call from police station that Bondita is arrested for hitting a person
