Bondita's challenge day
Anirudh chose aim over responsibilty and now he is all set to go to post office to apply for his entrace test.
Sun rised. The rays penetrated through window and falls upon Bondita face.
She closed her eyes and turned aside.
By this time sarpanch arrived there with some other people and calls upon Bondita.
Trilochan: Bahu, the time has arrived. Are you ready?
Bondita takes a deep breath and nods yes.
Trilochan: Let Durga ma be with you!
He blessed her.
Sarpanch: Why you are delaying? Do you think we don't have any other works? Or your Bahu is not ready for challenge?
Man 2: Is she afraid of losing the challenge?
They all laughed. Bondita went out and looks at everyone in fierce.
Man 3: Kya ladki, are you afraid? That's why you are delaying inside the house itself?
Bondita: Did I said you that I am afraid? Did i told you that I will lose?
Sarpanch: Hn, hn today we will know about it. Don't waste our time, come fast.
Bondita: If you think i am wasting your time then it's not my fault. You people only challenged me.
Man 3: Heyy ladkkii!!
Sarpanch: Wait, let's not fight with her. Anyhow she will lose today. Then let's teach her a lesson together.
He smirked. They all went to Mandap.
Bondita looks at Trilochan. He worries.
Bondita: Kaka sasurji, why you are worrying now? Did i asked anything wrong? If they are really cared about their time then why should they challenge me on that day?
Trilochan: Bahu, you did a biggest mistake, now they will purposefully twist the questions.
Bondita: Don't worry Kaka sasurji. Today they won't teach me a lesson instead they will learn a pakka lesson from me.
She was about to step out but stopped.
Bondita: Where is pati babu?
Trilochan looks towards the room.
Bondita: Pati babu... Pati babu...
Anirudh jerked on hearing her voice and rushed out with file.
Bondita: Come lets go, where you went? Sarpanch and his men were teasing me before few minutes.
Anirudh: Huh, I am sorry. I didn't heard their voice.
Trilochan: What is in your hand?
Anirudh realised that he brought the file out mistakenly.
Trilochan: What file is that?
Anirudh: Huh.. kak.. Kaka, actually this file.. Nothing. I was looking at my mark sheets. That's it.
Trilochan: Keep it aside and come with your patni now. Everyone are waiting for us.
Anirudh: Hn, let's go.
Bondita bowed to Trilochan's feet and took his blessing.
Trilochan: Sowbagyavati bahu!
Anirudh also bowed and took his blessing.
Trilochan: Why you need blessing suddenly?
Anirudh: Won't you bless me without reasons, Kaka?
Trilochan: I will, but something is wrong... Suddenly why you want my blessings?
With doubts itself he blessed him. Anirudh smiled.
Bondita: Shall we go now pati babu?
Anirudh nodded. Bondita holds his hand tightly and stepped out.
Trilochan: Batuk, take care of the house.
He shouted and followed them.
~In Mandap~
People are eagerly waiting to take test of Bondita.
Sarpanch is sitting in chair while others are sitting on ground.
Roy Chaudharys arrived there. Bihari is also there.
People stopped Anirudh and Trilochan.
Man: Only your wife can step on the mandap, you all stay here itself.
Anirudh: Why?
Man: What if you teach her secretly? So stay back.
Trilochan stares at them.
Bondita looks at Anirudh.
Anirudh: Don't be scared Bondita. We will be here only. From mandap stage, we will be visible. Now go, prove them yourself.
Bondita nodded and stepped onto Mandap stage. From there she looks at Anirudh.
Anirudh shows thumbs up to her. She smiled.
Sarpanch: Theek hain, without wasting time. Let's start. Anyome can question her about our culture and traditions.
A Man started to question her with sarcastic smile.
Man: Tell us the famous sweets of Bengal.
Bondita tells it without mistake.
Trilochan is busy looking at the event.
Anirudh thinks: This is the good chance, let me go to post office and apply for entrance test.
He steps backward silently. Soon he vanished from the crowd and walks faster towards post office.
Woman: What are things will you keep in puja plate on Monday?
Bondita: Monday is for Shiv ji. So I will keep coconut, Diya, prashad, and his favourite flower Datura. Kaka sasurji taught me this.
Everyone wondered. Trilochan smiled with pride.
Soon they kept Bondita engaged in questions, she calmly answers them.
Sarpanch thinks: How she is answering correctly?!
People started whispering themselves that she is fit for Tulsipur.
Sarpanch: Stop making noise everyone! I can hear you all. As per our challenge, Anirudh's wife answered our question as per our expectation. So i think this is enough. Let's announce her as wi....
"Stop" a voice came from behind. It's none other than Saudamini.
Trilochan and Bihari looks on. They couldn't recognise her as they are seeing her after 7 years.
Mini walked towards mandap with a evil smile.
Trilochan: Who is she? I haven't seen her before here.
Mini: I still have my questions.
Everyone looked at her in confusion.
Mini stares at Bondita badly.
Sarpanch: Arey ladki, who are you? We haven't seen you in this village.
Mini: I belong to Tulsipur only. Did you all forget us? We have returned India from London. My dad name is Visu.
All are stunned and surprised.
Trilochan: Hey Bihari, what is going here? Is she Saudamini?
Bihari: Hn, malik Ji. I think yes, that's why she is telling her baba name as Visu. I am sure she is going to make problems.
Trilochan looks on.
Bihari: Where is Anirudh babu?
They looked here and there.
Trilochan: Where did he went?
Bihari: He was here only but...
Mini: Listen everyone. I also want to question this girl.
Sarpanch: Yes, you can.
Mini: But first tell me, what if she lose this challenge?
Sarpanch: She must go back to her paternal home.
Mini smirked. Trilochan looks on with a wide eyes.
Bondita: Before questioning me how could you confirm that I will lose this challenge? Till now I answered everything correctly.
Mini: Let me see! You can't answer my questions.
She smirked. She turned towards people and searched for Anirudh.
Mini: Uh Oh, where is your husband? Didn't he came here? Is he afraid?
Bondita then only searches for Anirudh.
On other hand, Anirudh is filling up the form for entrance test.
Trilochan: Do you need her husband or her for this challenge? Challenge is for her only not for "her husband".
Mini stares at him.
Bondita: Yes, Kaka sasurji is right. Why you are searching for my pati babu?
Mini thinks: Stop calling him as Pati babu. It's irritating!
She scolds Bondita inside her heart.
Sarpanch: If you want to question her then ask it. Why are you waiting for her husband?
Mini: I will ask. For sure I will ask.
Bondita: Ask then.
Mini: Tell me what is sakha pola? What is the importance of it?
Bondita blinks for this question.
Mini: Wait, look everyone, she is not even wearing sakha pola. I wonder how sarpanch ji was about to announce her as winner. Very important thing, sakha pola! She didn't even know about it. Anyone just ask her whether she has it or not.
Trilochan: She is not a bengali. Sakha pola should be given by her mother. As they are madrasi they don't have that culture.
Sarpanch: Yes, this is not her mistake. In their culture there is no sakha pola. That's why she is not aware about it. How will she wear it unless her mother give her? So ask her another question.
People said yes in chorus.
Mini stares at them while Trilochan smirked.
On other hand, Anirudh deposits the form in the post box and pays the money for it.
He then took a deep breath with a smile.
What will happen next?
Just stay tuned to know about!❤️
