When Somnath forwarded a rose with a plain smile hiding his nervousness inside, Tupur felt ackward and unrighteous to take flower from outsider man and looking around moving uneasily in her seat with an uncomfortable expression
Thakuma's cane came in between both of them and pushed away the rose which is about to fall from his hands but he held strongly.
Thakuma hissed angrily: What are you doing?
But deep inside she is impressed that he held the rose tightly means he started giving preference to Tupur
Somnath/satpal: Rose... for Tupurji
Thakuma keeping a stern face mocked: You came to give treatment..Mind your own business and go. Don't do these kind of cheap acts which eve teasers and vagrant boys do to impress girls.
Satpal laughed loudly (even though he don't get laugh still he tried because Bhatuk always do like this only na toease the situation and put others in dilemma)..
Thakuma kept hands on her waist and asked : Now for what are you laughing?
He replied: who told that roses are given by boys only to impress girls ..it can be given by everyone to anyone with pure intentions .
Why don't you think that I am befriending with Tupurji so that she will feel comfortable with me ..
Tupur looked at him without any expression and again bent her head and sat nervously
Somnath as satpal requested softly and cutely keeping an innocent face: Tupurji! Please and again forwarded the rose
Tupur without any expression asked him to keep it aside there on nearby table ..
He has no option and so he kept aside and started conversation with her
Somnath: So Tupurji! Where are you from?
Tupur : My native place is Krishnanagar and later we shifted to Calcutta.. my family is staying there.
Somnath: And who are staying in your family?
Tupur : My Thakuma kalindi Das who is famous ayurvedic vaid, sumati jhetima, maa baba and my sister Tapur . I also have another sister Bondita, she is sumati jhetima's daughter and her husband is barrister Babu Anirudh Roy Chowdhary . That's it .
Somnath face color is drained to listen this answer from her . She is only mentioning about her mayka but not her sasural and about him ..
Without showing his unpleasant expression outside he asked : so what about your husband and saural ? Are they bad people ?
She looked at him seriously and he covered up: I mean you are wearing sindur na . That Implies you are married So why are you not taking your sasural people names. Definitely they must have harassed you brutally. That's why you are not even willing to take their names
Tupur instantly replied: No they didn't..they are very nice people. My ksj Sasurji and cathrine maa, my devar Bhatuk everyone are very nice people . They all love me too. Infact I am married to my sister Bondita's bade devar. My sister is my jethani too
Somnath: is it arranged marriage or love marriage?
Tupur didn't reply and felt painful to recollect her marriage. Perhaps that is the biggest blunder in her life. - marrying Somnath secretly without knowing much about him or having clarity about life or his career.
When she is silent Somnath asked : That means your husband is very cruel . He is a bloody monster who had abandoned you right ?
Tupur hissed angrily: SHUT UP DID I TELL YOU LOKE THAT ? WHY DO YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT MY HUSBAND? YOU CAME TO GIVE TREATMENT FOR ME. FOCUS ON YOUR WORK AND GO
She didn't even like someone blaming Somnath.. only she can blame him but not others are allowed to talk about him and their problem
Thakuma too forwarded her cane again in between them and taunted him : Focus on your work chikitsak babu..why should you learn about her husband?
Somnath: That's what I am doing na. See Tupurji! I am a psychiatrist means I came to give treatment to your mind not to your body and to treat your mind I should learn what all pains and traumatic incidents your mind is carrying and hurting you. So for that you have to co-operate with me.
Thakuma remained silent and waiting for Tupur to say something
Tupur replied without any expression:
But I am not ready to share anything with you.. please don't trouble me more chikitsak babu
Her cold shoulder is getting on to his nerves. Still he calmed himself and chanted his elder brother Anirudh name and younger brother Bhatuk name as if chanting mantr to gain patience and thought that he should change his style.
He then started his conversation again: ok ok I don't want to increase burden in your heart but wanted to ease it
You are feeling uncomfortable with me. I understand that . So At first I will introduce myself. I am satpal singh who came from Punjab and lied to them that he was born and brought up there.
Tupur looked at him as unbelievable that if he is really Punjabi but somehow she believed him because Somnath is not that jovial kind like his brothers and this satpal is too jovial. So he is definitely not Somnath just looked. It's confirmed for Tupur
And when he is telling about his family background in (practiced) Punjabi slang in a funny way this brought smile on her face after long time .
She smiled for few seconds keeping hand on her chest and he looked at her amazed. Even Thakuma is also surprised and got delighted inside her mind that something good started to happen.
After a long time she had smiled wholeheartedly
He then asked her about her childhood and what all games she used to play .. Recalling her childhood memories brought happiness on her face and she happily told about her childhood how she and Tapur used to play how they're scared of Thakuma . When she took Thakuma(kalindi) and the fear on her in childhood he told not to bring up any painful incidents relating to fear
Thakuma (Surendra mother) is also satisfied with the way he is talking positively but didn't show up her pleasant smile and still maintaining her seriousNess to make Somnath have fear and feel that he is not supposed to take much LENIENCE
They both have spoken for nearly 30 mins in old woman's presence and Somnath left from there telling that he will come there after 3 days and took leave .
Both Somnath and Tupur felt satisfactory in their minds having positive and optimistic talks..he is so happy that finally he could have brought smile on her face. He should share this with Bhatuk and take any suggestions from him of how to get rid of third person between them
He badly wanted his younger brother to acknowledge him as romantic person who can win his wife's heart .
But one thing is still bothering him that Tupur giving breast milk to their family daughter. Somewhere he is not liking it . But right now he couldn't raise that point and create ruckus.
Tupur will recognise him and may run away or her health will deteriorate.. so as of now keeping quiet is only better solution

Next day Lucy is asking her servants cum goons to find ABOUT a girl named Bondita Roy Chowdhary background and what are they doing, I want every minute detail of her
Her henchmen were nodding but just then there came a middle aged old man who is blowing cigar and told: Bondita Roy Chowdhary is the wife of Barrister Anirudh Roy Chowdhary one of the most powerful and influential zamindar family of this Bengal state .
And whatever you have did yesterday in college campus it reached to her husband's ears and today early morning he had spoken to me about this ..infact gave warning to me in soft tone
Lucy fumed with jealous and asked : Did he give warning to you daddy? How dare he is ?
Edward told seriously: yes baby.. and recalled his conversation with Anirudh Roy Chowdhary through phone:
Anirudh, who spoke softly but seriously and threatened to make his daughter understand that all students are equal in college campus. If she considers Bondita as her rivalry and try to harm her or defame her in any way or create hurdles in her academics think that you are going to have rivalry with me and rivalry with me is not a good choice Mr. Viceroy general.
My wife and your daughter, both are students of same college and they can compete in studies In a healthy way but not any personal rivalry..
You know situations outside and how our freedom fighters are rebuking on you . So I hope you understand the situation na sir.
Viceroy pressed his angry inside and told with a soft smile to Outside that : Ofcourse Mr. Anirudh Roy Chowdhary! Even I am also a friendly officer to Indians . You and your wife need not worry about my daughter and disconnected the phone
Flashback ends
After listening this Lucy fumed with anger and asked : why are you sparing them daddy? You have to take it personally and finish them. That Bondita and her husband should be dead
Edward :no baby try to understand the situation..it's an order from our country higher officials to tackle with Indians in a friendly way but not to get into tiff
Lucy provoked her father in crying tone : That Bondita made me fall on a slave feet daddy..do you know that? Infront of everyone I touched a security guard feet and also this land which they call as their Bharat mata or what is that other name ..haa Dharti mata ..
I have apologized their goddess and got insulted..your fairy, your princess got insulted and defeated in Indian girl's hands the one who should have died by falling under my car one day she had narrowly escaped and today going to join in my college as my competitor. Are you happy dad? Is this what you want?
Edward blood boiled listening to this and thinking deeply about this .
By seeing her father's expression she intentionally provoked him : What did you tell me since childhood? That we hold upper hand on India and these Indians are our slaves. Then today you are only proving that you have taught me falsely
He couldn't take his daughter's insult in an Indian girl hands and adviced her in dark tone : If that is the case don't spare her at all baby..but at the same time don't get exposed among all. Your name should not come out . Already you have gotten bad reputation in Britain schools and that's why I brought you here to join in Indian institution. . With much difficult I have earned admission for you using my influence and money . If your name is spoiled here then you can't join anywhere. Remember that.
After one week your college is going to start. So Whatever you want to do you have to do it secretly without your name coming out. Also you should top in your studies. No one should compete you Is that clear
Lucy : yes daddy. Now my vision is very clear..I will make sure that no one will come in my way . If they come it won't be fair to them. Thankyou so much and hugged her father

Next 2 days Anirudh stayed in ashram with biswas taking care of him and gave police complaint without his knowledge that someone attacked Dipankar and peon at night time in orphanage .
Police came to ashram and did enquiry and examined the surroundings and Dipankar peon condition.
He enquired seriously and came up with evidence alongwith doctor's help who are treating them that there is a gang of burglars who are well trained with old traditional martial arts of our country like kalari . With this art one can make a person not able to speak and send into coma too without much damage but however Angrezi govt had banned it still some krantikarita are learning secretly and they are part of our national freedom fighters
Anirudh is surprised to learn about this and asked about further details and their motive but Inspector didn't give much details telling that those are confidential of our department we can't reveal just like that
But Anirudh argued that at any cost I need those details because attack happened in ashram and there are little children here and a mentally ill patient is staying here. Try to understand my situation inspector
Inspector: you also understand my situation Barrister babu. Those are highly confidential matters . will you go and discuss about your cases with random people ? No na
Similar way I also can't discuss about this with you even though you are a Barrister. But I will help you what all I can do I will arrange security for you . Anyways as you told that it's about safety of children I can tell you one thing guaranteed that they didn't come for children to harm them.
Anirudh: How can you say that ?
Inspector: Because that person climbed the wall and came inside crossing children's room and then into office room where there is a treasure which had donations to maintain the ashram .
So definitely their motive is to steal money not to harm any of children. You can also see that Diapnakar and the murderer fought near treasure. In that fight this treasure got scratch at locker opener side. So their motive is clear
Just then biswas came there shirtless towards them and asked what's the matter . He got annoyed on Inspector for getting into rift with Anirudh and about to raise hand .
Anirudh controlled him and in that process he had observed biswas body which looked like he is a body builder.
The day he had first seen biswas in forest it's dark and his focus is on searching him and making him bath and get him out from there but didn't focus on any other matter ..
Now after seeing him with a muscular body and especially the snake tatoo he is getting suspicious of biswas
SI asked who is he ?
Anirudh took SI aside and explained partially his past and brought him here for treatment. SI also expressed his suspicion on Biswas and asked him to be careful and left from there .
Doctor is also about to leave after examining Diapnakar and peon . But Anirudh stopped him and asked him to come aside and asked about marmakala techniques and all.
Doctor gave partial information and anirudh asked will he have to maintain good body
Doctor: ofcourse the person should be fit and perhaps stout personality too .
Anirudh: can ayurvedic vaid treat them ?
Doctor : ofcourse they can
Anirudh decided to bring Thakuma (Kalindi) and get them treated because his intuition is telling that the case is not that easy and can't completely rely on outsiders. He want his own people's involvement too . But before that he wanted to grab more information from Biswas father about his son.
He immediately called him through telephone and enquired that If his son had practice in any martial arts
Trinabh kept him in hold but speaker open and asked hod father who is aside and then replied that : No Anirudh babu ..he don't have that brain ..if he is that capable he would have studied well by going to vidyalaya regularly na
Anirudh: then how come a lazy man have stout body
Trinabh again asked his father and replied back : he isn't that stout. Me and my baba do Surya namaskar and he imitates us. That's it.
Anirudh thought: with Surya namaskar only how can he have that personality? Seems like Trinabh don't have any idea at all about his son . May be not even interested on him
Anirudh asked Trinabh to call his father to come in line . Old man came and Anirudh asked : Is there anyone you call malik or sarkar? If not you anyone in your Village calbecause Biswas is calling someone like that ..Malik sarkar who is that?
Something striked Trinabh father's mind and he told eagerly: Anirudh babu there is a money lender in our chandanpur, his name is Iravat and he will be called by many of the villagers as sarkar and malik ..as he used to give debts to them whenever they are in need.
Anirudh eyes are widened and he asked : did Biswas and that Iravat are close and visit eachother frequently?
Trinabh father : No ...that man Iravat - I mean his full name is Iravat sen and he and his sons are always busy in their business and won't have time to spend with worthless people like my son .. I have never seen biswas taking his or his sons name . But Iravat sen and I whenever we crossed paths on road he used to ask me about biswas and show sympathy on me and biswas
Anirudh: Iravat sen ..and Recollected that he had fought a case against him in favour of basant whose factory he had bought recently. He know that Iravat sen is not a genuine person and had very bad reputation. Are there chances of his involvement in Biswas life?.
Anirudh only asked : by the way why did you make tattoo to your son ? Is it your family custom
Trinabh father : there is no such custom. And biswas is very sensitive. So we didn't trouble him much for traditional rituals.
one day he went roaming in Village and came late evening crying and when we asked he had shown tattoo.
We asked why did you get it ? He told that he heard in temple from a sadhu that If we keep snake tattoo then snakes won't harm us.
And when we enquired about sadhu from temple priest he told that no sadhu had come there and we believed that sadhu is mahan who gave darshan to our boy only
Anirudh sighed and shooked his head came to conclusion that Biswas is clearly misled by someone for sure .
He then asked about Trinabh who came into line and Anirudh asked that either you or your parents who are healthy and patient should come and stay here for sometime. Because we all are outsiders. Despite of how much we do and teach him, his family member should also stay with him and give a nod to our teachings so that he reform better way .
Without his family members suggestions and tips and sharing about his past likes and dislikes it's not possible for us also to mingle with him easily. And all these can be talked in phone all the times. What do you say ?
Trinabh: even I am also thinking the same . But I got worried that you will agree or not . My parents are willing to come there and stay there. My mother is missing him badly . If you don't mind they both will come and stay there with their grandson
My wife is deeply hurt with biswas acts so if I leave her and come she will become depressed. But if any little change comes from him I am sure she will also change her perception .
Anirudh asked Trinabh softly to send his parents because to have regular communication I need their support..we are shifting biswas and remaining children to our mother ancestral home which is very spacious and comfortable. Hope your parents can stay with him there right ? Doctor will be visiting there regularly. Alongwith others your parents will also have regular health check up here.
Trinabh: no problem Anirudh babu.. whatever you are doing to my son spending your personal time I have no words to express my gratitude. I personally will drop them in new ashram and go . Namashkar
Anirudh felt that he is taking enough precautions around biswas.
And while going a lady helper named shyamala came and suggested him to appoint an eligible candidate as manager in dipankar place ..
Anirudh agreed and told that he will give paper advertisement for that..
She suggested that there is a person named Pratap who is very smart and have humanity..he used to work in another ashram too. If you agree he will come here.
Anirudh: ok ask him to meet me once. I will talk to him and finalise once.
In these 2 days he didn't get chance to go to home and meet Bondita or his family members. He is going to office from there only and Checking important files but talking to Bondita in phone .
She is also sending food through paramesh kaka and started studying in his room and practising typing. She didn't get opportunity to tell him that she is practicing typing .
She also became busy in studies, type writing and in household works at home. Rimjhim tried to enquire about Tupur through Tapur and Roy Chowdhary family servants but no use.
Everyone are telling that Bondita Malkin and Anirudh babu know about Tupur Bahuraniji and whenever she tried to find Bondita she is busy in studying and all the time either cathrine or Trilochan or Binoy are near by at home . Infront of them she can't ask in huge tone ..
After a lot of trials she saw Bondita who is taking few servants with her In car and left from there before Rimjhim reach her . As she is too involved in giving instructions and planning about upcoming puja she didn't notice her kaki asking about her or calling her from back .
When the car left Rimjhim felt it as insult that Bondita is showing her attitude intentionally avoiding her and asked Roy Chowdhary watchman that what is happening here. Seems like any function is going to commence
Her hope is if any function commences she is expecting Tupur to be there and she wanted to take Tupur with her and escape from all of them alongwith her daughters and husband.
Watchman replied that Anirudh babu had purchased a new factory and they are conducting puja .
Her face colour is drained and couldn't take her jhetani's jamayibabu progressing well .
She asked if Tupur had come or going to come for this function. He replied that Tupur Bahuraniji had not yet come so far and don't know if she will come or not .
At the same time she saw Trilochan is coming out and she went and asked him about her daughter normally without showing her displeasure on her face.
He only gave information that Tupur bahu is fine and Doing well . She is recovering from post natal. You don't worry about her.
She asked: where is she staying? Is she coming for factory inaugration? Jhooth kaho toh Jaan Lelo, you Roy Chowdharies didn't inform us about factory puja .
Before Trilochan replies kalindi entered there and countered : Thodi laat thodi baat tabhi samjhe aurat jaat. Till somedays before you are only fool but now you have turned into arrogant and egoistic too
Rimjhim is fuming with anger.
Kalindi continued her rant:
Zamindar babu and jamayibabu had already informed us about factory puja last week itself and invited us there. But you are too busy in your mayka and sat there for number of days na forgetting that your real home is here . So What can anyone do
Rimjhim: Is Tupur coming to puja ?
Trilochan: No Tupur bahu won't come but she had spoken with her jhetani and conveyed her best wishes
Rimjhim: from where did she talk ?
Instead of replying Rimjhim he told kalindi that he had to go and look after arrangements at factory
KALINDI asked him to carry on with his work. If he stayed here there won't be end to Rimjhim questions and he left from there .
Rimjhim fumed with anger and KALINDI also left from there
Bondita and servants alongwith paramesh kaka reached shubhra house and started cleaning the house and removing old mattresses and dusty clothes from there . In that process she is going through some old photos .
In old ashram Nilambar visited biswas and made friendship with him . When they both are having fun time Anirudh called to home and Bihari informed that Bahuraniji went to Shubhra Malkin house and cleaning it
Anirudh badly wanted to meet her as it is very near to his place and
So he only informed Nilambar and slipped from there and reached in 5 mins .
Bondita is working there by taking all old stuff and her gaze fell on some photos in one carton box in down shelf which is very difficult to open . Here Anirudh also crossed some dust particles and trying to approach her
After trying for sometime she finally succeeded in pulling out some old photos and papers from the down shelf and going through those old photos and papers which had drawings.
That handwriting and drawings..she can recognise... obviously her Patibabu 's
Remaining servants are busy in their works ..
She lovingly carressed those old photos and drawings.. Anirudh came and saw what she is looking on
He came from back and screamed 'bhaw' In her ears to scare her
She is so immersed and didn't expect him...so she got jerked and yelled 'Patibabu' closing her eyes in sudden shock for a second and again opened her eyes.
It's him her Patibabu only who played this prank on her and now laughing at her
She pouted and slightly hit his shoulder and commented: dusht babu..and again sat and going through photos seriously by sitting there
He pulled her and placed her in his lap and asked : what are you going through?
She told showing the photos in her hand : Going through your childhood drawings and your photos..
Showing some old papers She asked: Is it your handwriting and drawing Patibabu?
Anirudh saw it and felt nostalgic to see his old handwriting and traced the diagram and told : After maa had passed away I have left to vilayat and forgotten about these old photos . Thankyou for recollecting these memories Bondita and gone through them
Many old memories are hitting him
Bondita moved aside few inches away and asked showing one paper : you have written your name, Somnath dada name and then a girl name Vidya but not Bhatuk name. So far I haven't heard this name from your mouth or through ksj. Who is this Vidya ? Your relative ?
He took the name emotionally with breaking voice : Vidya ...vidya .. .
Bondita is looking curiously. He then told with tears in his eyes : Vidya is . not any relative, Bondita . But an unfulfilled dream of mine and som is Vidya
Bondita: means !? I didn't get it
Anirudh: when maa is expecting for third time we both brothers strongly wished for sister to be born .
I have started dreaming about my sister and very sure that sister will only come and selected name for her also as Vidya because I want my sister to be educated like us but bad luck it's not Vidya but Vidya aur shiksha ka dushman your natkhat devar Bhatuk is born..
Do you know how much I was disappointed on the day he was born . It nearly took one day to recover and take a look at my younger brother (and he laughed with teary eyes remembering those days)
Bondita again gave a slight pat on his arm and asked in accusing tone: what is this Patibabu ? You have reformed a womaniser like Chandrachur and will show mercy on perverted mentality like biswas but when it comes to Bhatuk Why do you speak like that ? Not fair and folded her hands like she pouted but didn't puff her cheeks
Anirudh laughed and asked wrapping his arms around her : seems like you are missing Bhatuk alot
She nodded cutely and told: yes . Even though he is very naughty but very helpful too . By the way don't divert the topic..first you answer me ..why don't you love Bhatuk? I wanted to know
Anirudh hit her forehead from side with his forehead lovingly and told: who said that I hate Bhatuk? I really love him alot but can't withstand with his mischeivous acts and naughtiness
Bondita: oho ! He is too younger among all of you na and ksj used to pamper him alot . That's why he is like this but apart from his mischeivous nature he is good at heart
Anirudh retorted her : oh Bhatuk ki boudi! Enough. now you Also don't defend him like your ksj .
Why I used to get annoyed on him is because he is intelligent and very wise by birth but is he utilising his intelligence properly in studies?
But instead of putting it in studies he is putting it in unnecessary matters like making his friends sisters secret marriages, reading love stories detective stories and coming up with criminal ideas. Seems like you have forgotten that it is his idea to intrude into Thakuma house like a burglar and next to kidnap Tapur
Bondita: I remember well. But Tapur only told me that neither Bhatuk nor som dada troubled her in any way. She also told that they both have spoken respectably and affectionately. Infact Tapur hesitated to break the promise then Bhatuk only came up with telephone idea to trap me by not pushing her in dharm sankat
Anirudh: That's what even I am also telling.. Bhatuk is indeed intelligent and very smart and have innovative ideas too. but where is he using it ? In these kind of matters and wasting time.
If he had invested his time and intelligence in studies he would have become a scientist. But no that chote samin saab don't want to study properly. That is why I am disappointed on him
By the way did you find about Somnath and Tupur situation from Surendra sir ?
Bondita: haa Patibabu and she gave complete information of what is happening there
After listening everything he told : definitely Bhatuk is helping som there. He might be giving crazy romantic ideas from Italy
Bondita wrapped his arms around his neck and asked: Oho leave it na Patibabu. As long as Tupur is comfortable with som dada or whatever ideas he came up with we should not say anything or involve in it . Surendra sir also told the same . He and his family are there taking care of them
by the way did you forget your drama as Avinash Ghosh , my bhulakkad birristera babu? All the time you are blaming Somnath dada and Bhatuk but you have forgotten that you are the eldest brother for both of them. Definitely they have taken on you and will learn from you only na
Anirudh raised his eyebrows and asked pulling her closely: acha !
Just then paramesh called and informed that here the cleaning work will be done. Little beds are coming for kids. Bondita is feeling too excited to see little kids beds and toys which she specially ordered for children .
He saw her excitement and immediately asked To Divert her mind that let's go to factory and see how works are going on there. She agreed and told that we will go by walking there and both started walking towards factory .
On the way She held his arm and told that she is missing him badly
He too replied that his condition is no less than her. Nilambar babu had come and Biswas grandparents are also going to come and stay with them in new ashram . Once they come and settle here I will come back to home .
Bondita: ok ...I will tell servants to keep their room separately near washroom.. in this age so that they should not face any trouble here.
We will name the new ashram as Shubhra Nivas.
He smiled and said ok
Bondita complemented that kids beds and toys are so cute and topic diverted on Vidya name again and she complemented that Vidya name is too cute . Your choice is so sweet like your kiss ...our new roshogullas
He chuckled and told : in those days I felt strong connection with Vidya name. I have informed all my friends including sourav that my sister is coming. But ..
He sighed and shooked his head.. in their talks only they both entered into factory premises .
Trilochan and Binoy saw both of them approaching them from distance and having serious discussion
Bondita didn't observe them involved in talking with Anirudh and told him to lift his mood: no problem Patibabu..your unborn sister will be born as your.. I mean our daughter in future
Anirudh gasped out Loudly and asked what . He thought: oh no ! Her motherly instincts are woken up again. Now what to do ?
Bondita is in her mode again told pressing his hand as assuring him : haa Patibabu...you need not have to be disappointed at all. Your wish is so pure definitely Durga maa will fulfill your wish ..you will have Vidya in your life
Anirudh: ok. enough.. enough ..he told suppressing his excitement created by her words inside him . Even he also wanted to happen deep inside but not now ..at any cost. Bondita is still 15 only .. there is lot of time for it
Seeing his serious face Bondita retaliated: Oho Patibabu! Seems like you are trying to behave like that day you behaved in temple. Not anymore ..ok ..I don't accept that behaviour at all again. Iam also telling about future means after some years only not about present day
Seeing their serious faces Trilochan approached them and asked: what happened bahu? Now for what reason you are arguing with your Patibabu?
Anirudh: kaka it's nothing important..some silly problems
Bondita: silly problems.. Patibabu?.It's about Vidya and you are telling silly problem and it's nothing important
Trilochan and Binoy at a time asked : Vidya !? Who is Vidya?
Anirudh closed Bondita's mouth from back and asked his baba to divert them: Baba ! Have you seen the factory thoroughly. Are you satisfied with arrangements..
She is wriggling in his grip and glaring seriously at him
Binoy : arrangements are perfect.. First you leave her . And tell us who is Vidya ?
(He tried to recollect rubbing his forehead with fingers) I heard somewhere..where ...in our family relatives, business circle...where ?. Da! You remember who is Vidya ?.
Trilochan: even I am also trying to recollect..as per my knowledge in Tulsipur there are no one with that name..I guess .
Anirudh thought: This topic won't end soon now ..I am done again ..
Trilochan: Bahu took the name na ..may be she can tell
He came and freed her from Anirudh hands and asked her who is Vidya bahu ?.
Bondita told seriously: I won't tell ksj. Patibabu will become mad at me.. after 2 days I met him today and again he will go back I don't want him to get upset on me and leave ..
Trilochan felt pity on his bahu and scolded Anirudh why are you always after bahu Anirudh? Poor girl ..she is missing you badly at home and here you don't leave a single chance to taunt her
Anirudh: me!? Great and shooked his head
Trilochan: haa you only . Now Anirudh also folded his hands and turned his face aside
He went to Bondita and asked: what happened bahu ? What made you upset and sit like this ?
Bondita: nothing important. Patibabu told na silly fights . That's it . forget it .
Trilochan: but you made us curious.. now we want to know who is Vidya
He asked Anirudh: you tell who is Vidya? I heard somewhere
Anirudh turned to Bondita and told his kaka to ask her only . I understood by now if Bondita kept quiet you both won't keep quiet now
Binoy too asked her to tell who is Vidya ..they are unable to recollect
Bondita: when shubhra maa is carrying bhatuk Patibabu expected for sister and he kept her name as Vidya .
Trilochan told excitingly: arey haa ..now I remember ..your Patibabu expected a sister na and he only did namakaran for her and fondly Recollected those days
Binoy also recollected those memories and told that : when his maa is having labour pain in house he sat at Durga maa mandir praying for both of his mother and sister safety. He is about to lit camphor in his hands and pray ..I only stopped him with much difficult
After delivery happened and when daima informed that it's boy Anirudh cried when he learnt that it's brother for him but not sister
Trilochan: But why this Vidya topic is brought up all of sudden?
Bondita: we went to Shubhra maa ancestral house na ksj there we saw his old drawings and so I learnt about his wish to have sister at that time
To cheer him up I told that Vidya will come into his life as his daughter and you know na how he reacts
Trilochan felt emotional and told Binoy: dekha Binoy ! Despite of how much bahu studies and do fitoori things like her Patibabu she always have motherly instincts towards their unborn children.
Anirudh murmured but audible to everyone: that's what my problem is also .. she know my worries too but still ..
Trilochan: she know your worries and taking precautions also . But you only don't trust my bahu
Anyways leave it ..I have full faith on Durga maa and on my bahu .
He came to Bondita who is still upset and to lift her mood he told : bahu ! You don't worry at all.
Our Panditji had seen your Patibabu and your kundli while looking after Muhrat for factory puja. Guess what he told ...
He told that you both will be having 4 children in future
Anirudh is hell shocked and opened his mouth wide open
She too raised and asked with glowing teary eyes : shotti ksj ?and pinched her throat
Trilochan pinched his throat and told : shotti bahu . Durga maa ki Kasam. So you don't worry at all
Anirudh: Kaka ! Ek minute
Why did you ask pandit to look after our kundli and that too for children. You called him to look for muhrat and you should have focused on it . Why did you make him look at our kundli
Trilochan: barrister Babu ! This is not your kacheri to argue whatever you like .. you both are about to sit for Puja and so both of your kundli should be shown and while deciding muhrat only he told this matter
And moreover I am so worried since the day you tried to throw away the cradle doll in temple and bahu also left that and came to get you treated for head injury. I personally felt it as apshagun but didn't tell it outside so that bahu should not feel bad . But From that day onwards I have been having nightmares about your children- whether they will be born or not,
After Panditji confirmed that all you will have 4 children my mind relaxed listening to it .
So don't worry about your children bahu ..
Bondita wiped her tears and nodded happily.
But Trilochan looked bit fearful and went into thoughts recalling one truth which Panditji told but he didn't tell it out intentionally but it's disturbing his mind
Binoy went to Anirudh and told : don't keep your face grumpy Anirudh.
Anirudh: shall we focus on looking at factory baba ? And moved forward
Bondita came and held his arm and told: If you want you can be angry with me but atleast let me hold your hand .. don't yank it away . I will feel bad
She told cutely and he couldn't be angry anymore and entwined his fingers with her and told : let's go
Turning to Trilochan he asked : kaka ! You can later think of your unborn grandchildren but first come and decide in which place and in which direction puja had to be conducted
Trilochan gulped the tears in his throat and moved forward .
He decided one place which is facing east and told that in this place puja had to be done by both of you
Binoy discussed about seating and lunch arrangements and roaming around the new factory
Trilochan told that Panditji should sprinkle gangajal and purify the place .
At the same time Bondita have seen another block of factory and asked what is it
Anirudh told that it's also a part of factory which we bought but it's always kept locked and about to go
Factory security guard shubhroto , an old man came running and requested not to go that side. They should not go toward that area
Anirudh asked : why shubhroto?
Shubhroto fearfully replied : There some people have committed suicide and their souls are still wandering as ghosts here .
Trilochan screamed: Ghosts!
Anirudh got irked and asked: what nonsense are you telling shubhroto? Who told that there are ghosts wandering here?
Shubhroto: malik ! I am not telling any nonsense. I am telling the truth. My father himself had seen that few people have committed suicide here by placing their heads in the machines here at night time .
After their death he also heard some sounds and screams of people at night time and one day he even went inside to see and after seeing what happened there he had gotten paralysis and got bed ridden
Basant sir had given job to me and later he is Also worried about these sounds. That's why he had sold to you for cheap rate
Trilochan Hissed angrily: Itna bada dhoka ?.. Anirudh! Bring that basant here and cancel the deal immediately. We don't want this factory anymore. We will get back our money
Anirudh rolled his eyes and started his lecture : kaka ! He had already told about this to me. And I have just cut it off. After knowing everything only I have bought this
Trilochan: WHY DID YOU DO THIS ANIRUDH? WHY DON'T YOU LIVE AND LET OTHERS LIVE PEACEFULLY?. NOW YOU WANTED THESE GHOSTS TO PLAY WITH OUR LIVES AND BUSINESS TOO
Anirudh: These all are gossips. Or better say cooked up stories.
Till now how many times we have gotten into similar kind of fuss and came out . Still you are not understanding anything..there is a limit to remain as ignorant kaka ?
Shubhroto: No malik no ! Those are not just gossips. Really some people had come here and committed suicide..I swear on Durga maa
Anirudh: Then police case might have happened na . What did they say?
Shubhroto: one police officer tried to do deep investigation but ..
Anirudh: But what ?
Shubhroto: He was dead spilling blood
Everyone are shocked . Trilochan quickly jumped into conclusion that there are Ghosts wandering here
He asked Anirudh to cancel this deal and get back the Money. If money didn't come also no problem but we don't want this factory at any cost. That's it . You have to listen to me this time
Anirudh: kaka ! Please! The same thing happened with me some months ago when I went into that dilapidated house to meet a client named Gobind sen.
But what happened? It's not ghosts conspiracy but the conspiracy of the two evil minded people. After knowing that also still you are talking like this and sighed
He told his baba that they will get the keys from basant and open it and make necessary modifications and use that block also and left from there.
He turned to his bahu who is the only hope for him and asked: bahu ! Atleast you convince him
Bondita came to shubhroto and asked : what did your father exactly see shubhroto dada?
Trilochan: bahu ! I asked you to convince your Patibabu not that security guard
Bondita: wait ksj ! I will talk to Patibabu only but before that I should have clarity na.. and half truths how can we jump into conclusion that if it's ghosts or ghost mindset behind this ?
She asked shubhroto that if his father exactly seen what is happening here. If he had seen why didn't he run to save them
Shubhroto didn't have any answer. She confused him with question and made him blurt that his father is already old and had high BP by that time. And that day he only heard sounds but didn't go and see what's happening in factory. So no ghosts have done anything to shubhroto father
Trilochan argued then what about the inspector .
Bondita: even there could be reason for his death also ..why should we only think negatively only ksj ?
When our intentions are pure then no harm will happen to us. If we scare of ghosts that implies that we don't trust Durga maa kindness on us ..dont we believe our Durga maa ksj ?
Anirudh always falls for her arguments. He shooked his head and told : fine carry on with arrangements
Next 2 days all arrangements are done
On The day of puja had been arrived. That day early morning only Anirudh arrived back to home and got ready ..
He dressed up in traditional kurta and dhoti whereas Bondita decked up in royal banarasi saree alongwith her jewellery. Both look adorable and came and sat for puja
Everyone are admiring them except Rimjhim who is fuming with jealous on Bondita
Precap: New manager is Nischal/chanchal
