Anirudh and Banerjee were at the chamber preparing some papers. Nibaran came in...
"Malik Anirudh babu se koi milne aya hain..."
"Mujhse? Kaun?" Asked Anirudh
"Maity nam bataya.. Tulsipur se aye hain.."
Anirudh looked at Banerjee... Banerjee gave him a sign.. Anirudh nodded and got up
"Ata hu main..."

Maity was standing in the baithakkana..
"Maity kaka app?" Anirudh asked as if his comming was totally unexpected to him.
"Ji chote malik... Trilochan malik ne sandesha bheja hain aap ke liye.."
"Keya sandesh hain?"
Suddenly they heard a payel sound approaching. The little figure appeared from behind the curtains..
"Maity kaku aap aye ho..." asked Bondita
"Ji ha choti malkin" smiled Maity "Trilochan malik ne sandesh bhejha hain..."
"SONDESH!!!!!!!.... dijiye" Bondita Exclaimed
"Bondita yeh khane ka sandesh nehi kehne ka sandesh  hain" Anirudh gave a mocking smile and then started taking with Maity
"Ha to kaka aap keya keh rahe the..."
"Woh Manorama malkin ki atma ki shanti ke liye ek yagya rakha hain Bare malik ne......."
"Main janti hu main bacchi hu per iskeliye woh mera aise mazak urayenge.." thought Bondita to herself "jao katti hain apse... yeh maine mu fula liya" Bondita turned her face and bluffed it...
"Ji... to kaka chahate hain ki sukrabar ko main Tulsipur jau?" Anirudh continued talking to Maity
"Ji ha.... aap ayenge to na?"
"Ha main aunga.. yeh to mera hi dawitya hain aur Bondita ke school main bhi kaam hain... agar time mila to main age bhi ja sakta hu... bol dijiye ga kaka ko..."
Bondita's cheeks are now hurting.. she's bluffing them for so long but Anirudh is paying no attention to her. She squeezed her brows in anger and left...
"Accha thick hain main bol dunga" Maity was a bit shocked... he thought he'll not agree but he agreed so smoothly..

Anirudh got back to the chamber....
"To Anirudh keya socha..." asked Banerjee
"Sir main soch raha tha... friday ko kaam hain to main agar kuch din age jau... thrusday ko ya...."
"Ha yeh to aur bhi accha hoga.... logo ko sakh nehi hoga fer..."
"Ha sir upar se Bondita ke school se tc bhi lani hain... arrest hone ke baad yeh sab kam karna mushkil hoga..."
Banerjee looked at Anirudh and padded on his back "sabas Anirudh... bacche ki buddhi pak raha hain"
Anirudh gave a shy smile...

On the dinner table...
Bondita is trying hard to show her anger but instead she's getting more angry because Anirudh is giving no heed to her expressions...
"Accha to tum kal ja rahe ho Tulsipur..." asked Kakima
"Ha kakima Bondita ke school se TC bhi lena hain..."
Bondita looked at him in a shocked way
"Ha.. tc lake yaha ke school main bharti karwa do...." commented Kakima
"Ha Loreto to paas main hi hain..." suggested Banerjee
"Per woh to saheb o ka school hain... saheb o ki betiya padhti hain waha..." hesitated Kakima
"To keya... humari Bina bhi to padhti thi waha... aur Mukherjee babu ki beti bhi..."
"Unlogo ki baat alag hain... Bondita shadisudha hain... sindoor sakhapola dekhke mazak uraya to? School main kitne sare larkiya hogi... sabki batain koi rok payega?"
"To fer kakima sakha pola sindoor na pehenke jaigi.." suggested Anirudh
Kakima gave a shocked look at him. Banerjee felt like hiding under ta table...
"Nehi!" Exclaimed Bondita "Kakasasurji ne kaha hain ki salha pola sindoor pehenne se apka bhala hoga.. utar diya to bura hoga.. main nehi utarungi..."
"Per Bondita yeh sab andhbiswas hain..."
"Ruk jao Anirudh" kakima stopped him.. "andh hain ya nehi mujhe nehi malum ler yeh biswas hain... aurat o ka biswas hain... aur is buswas se kisika koi rukshan to nehi ho raha.. to dusro ki bato se darke keu ish buswas ko thura de hum? Woh log humari sankskriti ka mazak banate hain use hum man le? Keu unke desh main atyachar nehi hota? Hota hain.. unke desh main bhi aurat o ke sath atyachar hota hain jaise yaha hota hain... woh raja hain isliye sat khun maaf aur hum praja.. nehi gulam hain isliye hum uncivilised..."
Anirudh kept staring at Kakima and wondered if she eould have stepped out she could have become a better barrister and a leader than any other existing now..
Bondita was so much mesmerised by Kakima's words.. she kept looking at her in a spellbound manner
"Akher Barrister ki patni hain" Banerjee broke the silence...
Kakima gave a angry glance at him.. Banerjee quickly  looked down at his plate and put a bite on the fish
Anirudh looked at Bondita then looked at kakima and Banerjee and wondered if Bondita will dominate him like this one day...

The train reached Deenpur station. He saw Somnath standing there with a wide smile. With him was Batuk and Bihari...
They all welcomed Anirudh and Bondita....
"Boudi aap kitni bahadur ho... raat ko akele aise Calcutta chale geye..." praised Batuk..
Bondita made a proud face
"Kismat acchi thi isliye mere paas surakshit pauch geyi... agar koi aur aisa karne ki kosis karega to uski tange tod dunga.." scolded Anirudh from behind..
Bondita's expressions changed immediately

They reached the haveli.. Kaka was ready with arti ki thali.. Sampurna did baran of Anirudh and Bondita and they entered the haveli. Binoy was standing far and adjusted his specs. Anirudh and Bondita touched the feet of kaka to take ashirvad. Anirudh slowly approached Binoy and bent down to touch his feet. Binoy was going to walk away but kaka stopped him..
"Binoy...." kaka signed in a low deep tone.
Anirudh and Bondita took his ashirvad.
But the fact that Binoy stopped only on Kaka's order hurt his heart badly. When will his father ever understand him? After the incident which will now happen his father will not think twice to disown him... a drop of tear appeared on his eyes..
Kaka padded on his back.. "beta.. baba hain woh tumhare.. thida gussa hain.. unhe maba lo ha"
Anirudh looked at him and nodded his head..
He wondered how will he react after his arrest..
