Trilochan taught spices names to Bondita. Meanwhile Anirudh wrote a letter to Saudamini.

~It's morning~

Today is going to be Bondita's first day of class on learning Bengali culture and traditions.

Trilochan is doing Puja, Bondita and Anirudh stands by. Batuk and Somnath is also there.

Trilochan: Bahu, pray to god that you should learn everything quick. Today is your first day class. You remember the challenge na?

Bondita: Ama Kaka sasurji, I remember it. I will learn the things very soon. I will make you and pati babu proud.

Trilochan: May Durga ma give you all the wisdom.

He smiled and blessed her. Bondita then turned towards Anirudh to get blessing from him.

She was about to touch his feet but he stepped back.

Anirudh: Hey, Bondita! What you are doing?

Bondita: I want your blessings. That's why I am touching your feet.

Trilochan: Acha!!

Anirudh: There is no need of touching my feet. I am not the god.

Bondita: But you are my pati babu. Husband is equal to God.

Trilochan: Well said, Bahu.

Anirudh nods no and walks from there. Bondita worries.

Trilochan: Leave it, Bahu. Your husband will behave like mad sometimes. You remember everything that I taught you yesterday na? You must be quite before them. Theek hain?

Bondita: Hn, Kaka sasurji. I will obey them and behave myself good. But...

Trilochan: But what?

Bondita: What if they beat me?

Trilochan: Why should they beat you? Until and unless you do something mischievous they won't scold you or beat you.

Bondita nodded.

Trilochan: Bahu, our family's pride is now in your hands only. I hope you will save it.

Bondita: Sure Kaka sasurji, after this class you will say Sabash Bondita.

Trilochan: Hn, hn let me see. I will leave Bihari with you.

Bondita: Seri!

Trilochan nodded and went inside to bring all the purana and Veda books.

On other hand, Anirudh is getting ready to go to post office to post that letter for Saudamini.

He came down urgently.

Bondita: Pati babu!!

He stopped with a jerk.

Bondita: In this early morning where you are going?

He turned and looked at her in silence.

Bondita: You promised me right that you will be with me during my class.

Anirudh: When did I promised you?

Bondita: Yesterday!

Anirudh: I don't remember it.

Bondita: Okay fine now I reminded you right? Stay with me.

Anirudh: Huh.. Bondita... Actually, I got some important work. I will be back soon. I will join your class in mid. Bihari is with you na?

Bondita: But pati babu you promised me!

Anirudh: All promises can't be kept, Bondita!

Bondita: If you can't keep up a promise then why do you give assurance?

Anirudh: Ahh, Bondita!! Please! I am saying na i will be back. You concentrate on your class. Learn well and hn behave well.

Bondita worries. Anirudh was about to go out but Trilochan arrives there.

Trilochan: Where are you going now?

Anirudh: Kak.. Kaka.. woh..

Trilochan: Woh kya?

Anirudh: Bondita, go to room and bring my watch. I forgot to wear it.

He gave a fake smile, Bondita went from there.

Trilochan: What's wrong with you?

Anirudh showed the letter to Trilochan with much hesitation. Trilochan got it and read it.

Anirudh: Kaka, this has been happening since they left India. Still now I and Saudamini are speaking via letters.

Trilochan glares at him. Anirudh remains silent.

Trilochan: Are you mad? I seriously don't know what the hell is running in your mind. You married a small girl and now you are sending a letter to your love interest. Are you fooling us?

Anirudh: Kaka, nothing like that. You know in what situation I married Bondita. Mini is coming to Tulsipur. And now Bondita has a challenge before her. I am not sure whether Mini will accept this relationship. I don't want any confusions in Bondita's life.

Trilochan claps his hand sarcastically.

Trilochan: Khub balo! You don't want any confusions in Bondita's life and so you are going to ask Mini to stay wherever she is then you will continue your illegal love via letters?

Anirudh: Illegal love?

Trilochan: Hn then? The man who is in love with other woman after marriage is legal? Tell me future barrister Anirudh.

Anirudh stays quite.

Trilochan: I don't know since when this is happening but I am ordering you now, just forget everything and remember one thing only. "You are married, Bondita is your wife and you are her husband". Nothing other than this. Samjhi??

Anirudh: Now what will you do if Mini comes here? Anyhow she will learn about Bondita.

Trilochan: Let her know it. Why do you want to hide this from her? Bondita is your legal wife hn na? What's there to hide?

Anirudh: She is not my wife. This marriage is not a legal one.

Trilochan: Arey Chup!!

They both started quarreling. By this Pandit arrive there.

Pandit: Trilochan ji!

Trilochan and Anirudh looks at the gate way.

Trilochan: Namaste Namaste, pandit ji. Please come in.

He greeted them warmly. Anirudh smiled at them.

Trilochan: Bihari, bring tea and biscuits.

Pandit: It's fine, it's fine. To whom should I teach? Where is my student?

Trilochan: Ji, she is in her room. Wait let me call her. Bondita... Bondita...

Bondita arrived there. Trilochan signed her to greet him.

Bondita greeted pandit and took blessings from him.

Pandit: What is your name?

Bondita: My name is Bondita.

Pandit: Acha, what is your full name?

Bondita: "Bondita Das".

Trilochan jerked and nods no at her. Pandit looks at Trilochan. Anirudh stands by.

Pandit: You are married hn na?

Bondita nods yes.

Pandit: Then why you are still using your paternal surname?

Bondita blinks.

Trilochan: Pandit ji, this is the problem here. She is a madrasi. That's why she doesn't know our culture.

Pandit: Need not worry, Trilochan ji. I am here to teach her our culture only. Bondita, come sit here. Before auspicious time end we shall start the class.

Bondita nodded and sat before the Pandit.

Trilochan gave them the Mantra books, purana and Veda books.

Trilochan: Pandit ji, teach her everything. If you don't mind, shall i leave my servant here? He will help you.

Pandit: Hn!

Trilochan signed Bondita to behave well and left the place with Anirudh's letter.

Anirudh looked at Bondita and followed Trilochan to get the letter.

Pandit started his class by enquiring Bondita's lineage and culture. Bihari stands by.

~Outside the hall~

Anirudh: Kaka, give me the letter.

Trilochan: I am going to tear it into pieces.

Anirudh: Nahi Kaka. You can't. Why you are doing like this?

Trilochan: I am also asking you the same, why you are doing like this? When your wife is here you are sending letter to another woman. Is this your dharm?

Anirudh: How many times I can say you? Bondita is not my wife. Infact, Saudamini is my only love. I belong to her and she belongs to me. No one can change our fate.

Trilochan: Your fate has already changed, Anirudh.

Anirudh nods no vigorously. Trilochan stares at him.

What will happen next?

Just stay tuned to know about it!❤️
