Anirudh seeked Anmol's help for Bondita's admission. He agreed to help them.

~In House~

Anirudh is walking here and there, waiting for the clock to tik tock at 5 pm.

Trilochan is looking at him from back.

Bihari arrives there and looks at both of them weirdly.

Bihari: Malik ji, why we didn't opened the shop today?

Trilochan: Bihari, storm has striked our house.

Bihari: Kya?! Malik ji, what are you saying? When did storm came to Tulsipur? Everyone's house are staying firm and stiff then how it will affect our house only?

Trilochan: Can't you see, storm is here only. Walking here in there in the gates.

He shook his head looking at Anirudh, Bihari looks at him.

Bihari thinks: Uh Oh, Bihari you came at wrong time, I think. Something has happened here.

Trilochan: You can see na, the storm!

Bihari: Malik ji, if you don't mind then can you please say, what happened here?

Trilochan: He wants to join Bondita in school.

Bihari: Really?! Yeh accha... Wait, what? Choti Malkin to school?

Trilochan: Have you rented your ears somewhere on the way?

Bihari: Nahi, Malik ji. How can he send Choti Malkin to school? Huh, I mean which school is teaching for girls?

Trilochan: A school in Culcutta!

Bihari: Arey baghvan ji, I can't understand anything now.

Trilochan: Khub balo, you don't need to understand anything. Now just do what I am saying.

Bihari: Hn, malik ji.

Trilochan: Here you have, Haveli ki saavi. Go by back gate, bring some money from the khazana.

Bihari: Khazana? But malik ji...

Trilochan: What?

Bihari: Let us all go there. We got Haveli back already, then why to stay in this small house? Let's go again there. Why to pay rent for this house when we have a big Haveli on own.

Trilochan: Everything I know! Without powers I will not enter into the Haveli. Stop giving suggestions, go bring the money before Somnath arrives here. Or else the storm will be doubled.

He give the keys to Bihari. Bihari went from there.

Trilochan looks on. Bondita comes there.

Bondita: Kaka sasurji, shall I bring tea for you?

Trilochan: It's okay, Bahu. I don't want tea now.

Bondita: Why you are not ordering me anything from the morning?

Trilochan: Huh?

Bondita: Always you ask me to do something but today are not even speaking to me, why?

Trilochan: I am practising Bahu. If you go to school then who will serve me? Our ancestors told already that self help is the best help.

Bondita worries.

Trilochan: You go, go and pack your luggages for your hostel.

Bondita: But Kaka sasurji...

Trilochan: Jao, Bahu!

He said in a hoarse voice. Bondita goes to kitchen in disappointment.

Clock tik toked at sharp 5 pm. Anirudh ran to telephone booth at once.

~In Booth~

Already few people are standing there.

Anirudh: Oh Durga ma! At sharp five, sarpanch ji asked me to call. But here the queue is so big. It will take atleast an hour to get the phone now.

He worries.

~In house~

Bondita is kneeding flour for roti in kitchen. Trilochan comes there.

He went to shelf and takes a tumbler.

Bondita: Kaka sasurji, you need water? Give it to me, i will fetch it for you.

Trilochan: That's fine, Bahu.

He said and fetched the water from the pot without even looking at her face. She worries.

Batuk comes there.

Batuk: Boudi, you are here? I am searching for you in your room.

Bondita: I am here only for the past 15 mins, Batuk. You need something?

Batuk: Hn, Boudi. Will you please make me badam kheer?

Bondita: Sure! Just wait for me.

She gave a wide smile

Trilochan: Batuk, I will ask Bihari to buy you a badam kheer from shop. Now go and play.

Bondita's smile reduced.

Batuk: Why Kaka? Boudi does it tastier than the shop.

Trilochan: She will not do household works here after. She is going to Culcutta, to school. So here after don't ask her anything. Just do it by yourself.

Batuk: School??!!

Bondita looks in guilt.

Trilochan: Hn, school. Oak leaf school!

Batuk: It is my dream school. Kaka, this is not fair. You are sending her to a good school but not sending me even to gurukulam.

Trilochan: Arey, will I take a decision like this ever in my life time?

Batuk thinks on. Bondita worries.

Batuk: Anirudh dada?

Trilochan nodded. Batuk looks at Bondita.

Batuk: Boudi, why didnt you told me about this?

Bondita: Batuk, actually...

He runs from there to his room with tears in his eyes. Trilochan also goes out.

Bondita's eyes filled with tears.

~In Booth~

Anirudh got his chance. He dialled to Anmol.

Anmol attended his call, infact he was waiting for his call for the past 1 hour.

Anirudh: Helo, helo, sarpanch ji!

Anmol: Anirudh?

Anirudh: Hn, ji. You asked me to call you at 5. What is the news? You spoke to manager of that school? You spoke with hostel warden?

Anmol: Arey, arey, wait. I asked you to call at 5 but now it's 6. It's fine. I spoke to them.

Anirudh: What did they said? Will Bondita get admission there?

Anmol: Hn, Anirudh. They accepted to give her place in hostel and school.

Anirudh's lips widened ear to ear.

Anmol: They asked you to come day after tomorrow itself for admission.

Anirudh: Thank... Thank you so much. Thank you so much, sarpanch ji.

Anmol: Stop thanking me. Be on time, Anirudh.

Anirudh: Hn ji, we will be there at correct time. Now itself I will go and pack everything.

Anmol: Good luck!

He cuts the call. Anirudh's heart jumps in joy. With the same excitement he came to house but only to hear Batuk's sobbing voice.

His smile reduced.

Anirudh: Kaka, why he is crying? What happened to him?

Trilochan: Go and ask him.

Anirudh: What?

He nods no and went to Batuk's room.

Batuk is sobbing by looking at Binoy's photo. He rushed near him and cupped his face.

Anirudh: Batuk, what happened to you?

He didn't responded. Anirudh grabbed the photo from him and put that aside.

Batuk: Why you are taking it away from me?

Anirudh: Are you crying for this man?

Batuk: Hn I am crying for my baba.

Anirudh's face changed.

Batuk: If he was presented here then I would have not been in this situation.

Anirudh: What? What situation? Everything is going normal only na?

Batuk: Dada, tell me one thing. Whom you met first, me or Bondita?

Anirudh: Uh oh, Batuk. What question is this! Obviously I know you only first.

Batuk: Then why your love turned to Bondita now? Where was the love for me?

Anirudh is shocked.

Batuk: Dada, why you hate me now a days?

Anirudh: Ssh! Who said I hate you? What are you speaking Batuk? Why you are thinking like this and all? Who told you my love for you is no more?

Batuk: If so, then why you are sending Bondita to school instead of me? This shows me clearly that you love Bondita more than me.

He sobs. Anirudh nods no.

Batuk: You know na, my aged kids are going to school happily but I am selling sweets in shop. You promised me that you will send me to school if we get back the Haveli. But you broke the promise.

Anirudh is shattered and feels guilt on hearing him.

What will happen next?

Just stay tuned to know about it!❤️
