Here we go----

"Ohh maa dugga !!! What is this going on? Bourbou of this house dressed like a maimsaab with short dresses and flaunting her legs shamelessly.
On top of that, Her husband is sitting at her feet tying her shoelaces. What kind of scandalous behaviour is this? Bouma! What kind of black magic you have done on my Awwnie? Awnii!! Stand up. Did i teach you this? Didn't i tell you that your wife will be your servant .Keep her under your feet. We didn't used to look straight at our husband, and you bouma! You are making him bend at your feet. Obhodro! Obhodro!"

"Maa, maa calm down. They are just children. They don't understand the dynamics of a married life yet. Let it go." Pleaded shubhra.

"Let it go????? How can i let it go when my beti's shoshural is about to go in the depths of paataal lok? I didn't expect this from you. You dont teach her anything."

"Maa, shall we go? We are getting late." Said a worried bondita, while Anirudh facepalmed himself for his wife couldn't even gauge the seriousness of the situation.

"Where are you going at this hour, that too dressed like this?" Said an irritated bimla debi.

"School. Where else." Bondita said nonchalantly.

"WHAAAATTTT?" Bimla debi said in shrieking voice." You , you go to school? You mean where boys study , other boys , other than your husband? "

" Yes , yes , to school to study. And I have only one husband . So every other boy would be 'other than my husband' right?"Bondita bit her tongue as she remembered she wasn't supposed to argue.
Anirudh rolled his eyes and felt like banging his head for his wife's foolishness.
Don't talk to dida like that. It won't end good for you. Ohhh this girl!!!

"Heights of insolence! Her tongue is sharper than a scissor. Oh dugga! Why have you landed my Anirudh with such a useless wife? Good for nothing.
Jomindar Babu! What is this? Bouma going to school? To study? Why? What is the need?"

"Uhhh....B-byan ji , she, uh ...she wanted to study. She used to study before marriage. so...."said a nervous trilochan.

" I feel my ears will start bleeding listening to all this. Don't worry. Now I've come . I will correct everything. Bouma! From now onwards you won't go to school. First of all go and change in your saree." Said bimla debi gritting her teeth.

"But maa, there is an important lesson today on maths. If i miss it , i wont understand it." Said bondita.

" Hush! Bouma! If you ever want to go to school, keep quiet today." Said shubhra.

"Anirudh ! Batuk! You both go. Now she won't come to the school." Said bimla debi.

Anirudh looked with a worried expression at bondita.
Oh no! She is looking like as if she is going to burst into tears anytime soon. I will have to do something about it.

" Now , i will have to lay some ground rules for this house so our goddess can be happy and shower this house with all the wealth and prosperity. Hope she will forgive this house for the indecent practices going uptil now.", Said bimla debi joining her hands and touching them to her forehead.
"First of all, you will not go to school and learn the rituals and traditions of the house under my and shubhra's guidance.
Secondly, you will keep your mouth shut unless asked to talk.
Thirdly, you will learn how to be a good wife and serve your husband, rather than ordering him to tie your shoelaces.
Understood? Understood??"

"Yes , yes."

" Now go, cook boiled potato and rice for me. No spice or ghee should be added. And for others, you will cook dimer dhokkar dalna and luchi, bhapaa aloo, machar jhol and payesh and rasmalai in sweets. And nobody will help her." Bondita's mouth watered listening to all the food items.

" Maa, how will she cook all this alone. Let me help her." Said shubhra

"I said no , means no. Bouma! Yesterday you said you know how to cook right. Now go , cook." Shubhra's eyes widened hearing this. She looked at bondita with questioning gaze , to which bondita looked as if helpless. Shubhra held her head.

Bondita went into the kitchen. Shubhra was kept busy by her mother in her room. Bondita didn't ever cook first hand but she had seen Shubhra cooking many times.
You can do it bondita. Maa does it everyday. It shouldn't be that difficult. Right?.
First i should knead the dough for luchi.

She took a utensil and put flour in it and then poured water in it. But the water content was more, so the dough became semi liquid.
She cut the vegetables but they were nowhere the same size. Then she put the kadai on the chulha and tried to blow it but the smoke made her cough. Finally with some success, chulha was lit.

The luchis seemed more like dumplings with semi_ liquid dough. Bondita burnt her hand while putting vegetables in hot oil. Bondita tried to lift the utensil while holding with a cloth but the cloth caught fire and started burning. Bondita ran and put more clothes over the chulha to extinguish it but the fire increased in size. The nearby sitting aasan also caught the fire. The kitchen was filled with smoke and she started coughing.

Anirudh had come from the school and was coming towards the kitchen to drink water when he saw the smoke and ran towards the kitchen. What he saw shocked him, as the kitchen was full of smoke and clothes on the chulha caught fire burning in large flames.Bondita was running here and there with her face covered with her pallu trying to protect the food she made.

He ran towards the earthen pot and poured all the water on the chulha thus extinguishing the fire. He dragged bondita outside the kitchen. She was coughing and panting , her eyes red, she slumped down on the floor catching breath. Shubhra and others came towards the kitchen hearing the commotion and got shocked to see all that had happened.

"What were you doing there? What if something happened to you? You would have burnt the whole kitchen. Even after the fire , you didn't come outside . Are you out of your mind?" Scolded Anirudh.

"I....i....uh....fire... Fire... My food ..." Bondita was very scared because of the fire and stumbled on her words, choking and coughing.
Shubhra rushed towards her and engulfed her in motherly embrace.
Anirudh left from there all angry and worried.

" I knew it. This girl is not only worthless but a liar as well. She lied that she could cook. Nobody can run from my experienced eyes . They have seen the world . This fire is the proof what she will do your household in the upcoming years. Mark my words shubhra." Bimla debi looked at bondita with disdain.

Bondita was crying in shubhra's embrace." Maa, sorry.... , i....i di-didnt do it intentionally. The cloth ...the fire...it spread ...more fire..." Bondita was hiccuping between her words.
Shubhra wiped her face blackened with suit with her pallu and made her drink water while consoling her. She took bondita to her room and made her lie down. Bondita soon drifted to sleep.

Shubhra came to kitchen and along with bihari cleaned the whole kitchen and prepared fresh food. Everyone had their food quietly and retired to their rooms. Bondita was still sleeping in the room. Shubhra woke her up and made her eat food with her hands. Bondita was very scared after the incident but shubhra's cheerfulness cheered her up soon." Today my daughter had cooked for the first time, how could i not taste it?".

"Really maa, you ate my food? How was it?"

"Well the luchi was more like pue(floor dumplings), but it was good. And the sabzi ,oh dugga , the sabzi , it was so tasty. I ate the whole lot."

"Really, i made good food. But maa, dida got angry again."Bondita pouted.

"Dont worry bondita, she will go in a few days, then everything will be like before." Said shubhra caressing bondita's hair.

At dinner, Bimla debi told Bondita to serve the food at least if she can't cook. Bondita came towards Anirudh to serve him dal , but he denied and rather asked Shubhra to serve him dal. She tried twice more to serve him or make him talk if the food was okay, but Anirudh kept quiet. Everyone retired to their rooms at night. But Bondita couldn't sleep as she never saw Anirudh this much angry. He was kind of wierd person but he always showed his anger by words not by his indifference.

Oh oh! How the tables have turned. This time Bondita has angered Anirudh. How will she coax him now?
