Anirudh is shattered on hearing those kinds of words from Bondita however he understood that it is not by her own but someone has taught her wrong.

He is thinking deeply while he hears Bondita's crying.

Anirudh: Bondita, are you crying? Open the door please, let me help you.

Bondita: I am sorry Sakha Babu, i can't break aachima's word or else she will lock me in dark room. And hn, you will also get punished then.

Anirudh: Dark room? What's wrong with you Bondita? When I saw you for the first time I just thought that you are different from every girls. I saw some fierce and courage in you but now..?

Bondita: Difference? What difference? I am looking like a woman only na sakha babu.

Anirudh: Oh god, you are not a woman. You are still a child. Now please open the door and share your grief. Let me see whether i can help you in this.

Bondita keeps silent. Anirudh is worried.

Anirudh: Okay, you don't have to look at my face but you can still answer my question na?

Bondita: Yes!

Anirudh: Then tell me isn't child marriage a sin?

Bondita thinks on.

Anirudh: Why do you accept to do this crime? You are still a child and the one who you are going to married will also be a child, I am sure.

Bondita: Illa, he is not a child.

She said in low voice.

Anirudh: What??

Bondita: I have seen him. He is a grown up man like you no i think he is older than you.

Anirudh thinks: What the hell?? Because of these kind of stupid things only my india is still being a slave to English men. Stupid traditions, Idiotic myths and so on.

Bondita: Sakha babu, are you there?

Anirudh: Hn, hn Bondita.

Bondita: Then why you are keeping quite? You too crying like me?

Anirudh: Bon.. Bondita tell me one thing. Are you happily getting married or your parents are forcing you?

Bondita keeps quite.

Anirudh: Say something, Bondita. Are you interested in this?

Bondita thinks on. Anirudh waits for her answer. By this time they hear Kalindi's voice, fearing upon her Anirudh walks away.

Bondita: Please save me from this sakha babu. I don't want to get married.

She cries. But Anirudh has left the place already. Bondita slowly opens the door and looks out.

Bondita: Where did he went?

She looks here and there for him, Kalindi comes there.

Kalindi: I told you not to step outside your room but what you are doing here?

Bondita: Aachi ma, look I am still inside my room only.

Kalindi: Then why your head is out? Are you looking for someone?

Bondita: Huh... Ama, I am hungry. That's why I thought of calling lavanya akka to bring me a food.

Kalindi stares at her, Bondita looks on.

Kalindi: Only one night to go, then you will become a wife of a man. But still you can't hold on your hunger right? Learn to starve. It is one of the good qualities of wife.

Bondita: Won't i die due to starving?

Kalindi: You will not die if you skip your meals once in a day. And keep in your mind one thing, after you to go your inlaws house you must eat only after they all finish eating. Puriyudha?

Bondita: If I wait until they eat won't the food become chill? Will it be good to eat cold food?

Kalindi: Heyyy!!!!

She shouted, Bondita fears.

Kalindi: Just throw your unwanted questions in a garbage and just throw it out very far away from our village. This must be the last question from your mouth. Puriyudha?

She yelled and walked away, Bondita gives a relaxed breath.

Bondita: Thank god, she didn't find that sakha babu was here. But where did he went now?

She looks here and there later, she locks the door as she couldn't find him anywhere.

~In hall~

Bhaumik gathered all his servants to hall. Anirudh is standing in balcony.

Bhaumik: So yes, I have some information for you all. As you know tomorrow is a big day for my daughter Bondita, it's her marriage. I just want you all to stay here tonight and must attend the small party.

Servants are happy on hearing it. Anirudh is looking at everything but his mind is completely lost on Bondita.

Bhaumik noticed Anirudh standing there but he pretends like he didn't noticed him.

Anirudh thinks: The marriage itself an illegal and now this party.... Shit! Bhaumik ji is richer but why he is behaving like a filthy people who just sell their girls to older man in name of marriage so that they get money in return? I really didn't expected this from Bhaumik ji.

He stared at him and went to his room.

~In room~

Bihari: Kya Malik ji? Did you achieved what you thought? But why i couldn't hear any fighting, arguing sounds? Did her parents accept your words? Is the marriage is going to be cancelled?

Anirudh: Oh Bihari stop!! I know you are mocking me.

Bihari laughs. Anirudh looks on.

Bihari: I told you na you can't even pick up an hand of sand from this village with your arguments.

Anirudh: Why? Wrong this is happening right in front of my eyes but i couldn't do anything. I just feel shame on my own. I am waste, I am a coward, I can't even save a child from a sin.

Bihari: What's wrong with you Chota Malik?

Anirudh nods no and leans on the bed, soon he went to sleep.

~In kitchen~

Lavanya is thinking about Anirudh and blushing. She is making payasam(kheer) for them.

Lavanya: Anirudh, i will not leave you. I won't allow you to pay back the money. You just have to become my husband and I love you a lot.

She mixes sleep powder in the payasam with a cunning smile.

Lavanya: Once you drink this, you will fall asleep then i will make you mine. Only mine.

She takes it in two glass so that Bihari wont get any doubts. She straight away goes to Anirudh's room and knocks the door.

Bihari opens it. He looks at her from top to bottom with a weird face.

Lavanya: I... I had brought payasam for you two.

Bihari: Payasam?? Means?

Lavanya shows it to him.

Bihari: Oh kheer?

Lavanya nods with a fake smile. Anirudh woke up on hearing their voices. Her eyes goes towards him.

Anirudh thinks: This girl is Bondita's care taker na? I guess i must get something from her.

Lavanya: Anirudh, i have brought a special sweet for you. Will you take it?

Anirudh: Hn, sure. Come in.

Bihari: I will get it for you chota malik, let's not allow her in.

Anirudh: Bihari...., Let her come.

He smiled at her, lavanya blushed. She went in and served him the powder mixed kheer.

Anirudh: I will drink this for sure but before, i just want you to tell me onething.

Lavanya: I will say whatever you need.

Anirudh: Acha, then will you tell me whether Bondita is interested in this marriage or is she being forced?

Lavanya's smile reduced.

What will happen next?

Just stay tuned to know about it!❤️
