Location: RC's Guest room

Anirudh's woke up from the sleep when birds get up and begin their dawn choruses. Bondita was still sleeping in his lap, like a baby sleeps soundly carefree from the chaos of world in his mother's embrace. Her palm still inside his Kurta on his chest interlacing their hearts.

He smiled at her caressing her head and closed his eyes once again snuggling her to him to stay back in that moment of serenity but couldn't coz outside he heard their helps have started to begin with their works.

He could not take chance, it was the matter of her well being afterall. He behold innocent Bondita till his heart content. Taking her hand out from beneath his kurta carefully he placed a kiss on it. He adjusted her saree around her bosoms and laid her sleeping figure on the bed nearby.

"Sorry I am leaving you like this, but I have too. I promise will meet you soon.", He kissed on her forehead and sheathed her inside a duvet before leaving that room.

He jumped other side of the window, wore his footwears and advanced back to the study preserving that ever so soothing warmth of her palm in his heart. His cheeks were still tinted red like a new bride. If he was not bound with Saudamini as her husband, he would have been surely dancing in whole RC haveli early morning screaming , "I am in love. Listen kaka, baba, Som I am in love with Binitha, and she loves me back." Alas! but Binitha came in his life late, very late to let him understand what a Love is? What does the love mean? How it feels when you love someone? And most important how beautiful it is when some one loves you back equally.

Location: RC Mention living room.

TRC was approaching towards Dugga temple to start with morning pooja when a gardener came inside after taking permission from TRC. He looked at Koyli gesturing her to come near him so that he can handover her the shawl he had found in the garden.

"Koyli ji yeh shawl hame wo Atithi kaksh(guest room) k pass wale garden me mili thi, Accha hum chalte hai.", Koyli nodded at him taking the shawl from him.

Both started to go in opposite direction as per their nature of duties.

"RUKO!!", TRC growled smelling something suspicious. His eagle eyes have had identified to whom that shawl belonged to.

That gardener and Koyli's steps froze at their places.

"Exactly kaha mili hai tumhe yeh shawl?", TRC turned to look at new gardner wide eyes.

"Malik, woh Atithi kaksh ki khidki k pass.", Gardner replied boiling his aged master's blood.

"Aur kuch mila hai tumhe waha?"

TRC's coarse words felt accusing to that gardener. May be of pilfering something.

"Nahi malik."

"Khidki Band thi waha ki?", TRC continued his interrogation.

That gardener was having hard time in breathing already. "Malikk", The gardened spoke in apologetic tone, joining his hands.

"Jitna pucha hai uska jawab do.", Sr. Zamindar got really a bad temper.

"Ji malik.", he affirmed looking down and walked out after getting a signal from his Malik that his investigation was over.

"Koyli, state me about the guest room's condition in detail. I hope I can trust your loyalty.", It was the last stage of Trilochan's self-control for bearing that filthy lady's presence in his house. He wished he could take his haveli to Gangotri itself so that it is purified in the flowing waves of sacred river Jahanavi.
