The trio reached the bangle stall and saw many ladies buying bangles. They went in and started to look at the bangles as well and after a min they started their act. Aahi said, “acha toh Bondita boudi, aap log hamesha yaha se chudiya kharidte ho?” Bondita replied, “haan, idhar ki chudiya sabse achi hote hai, aur sabse alag chudiya milte hai.” Sampoorna added, “haan aur ye kaka bhav bhi aacha laga te hai.” Aahi smiled and said, “are wah itni khubiya, iss liye sab mahilaon yaha se kharid te hai. Ab se main bhi yaha he karidu gi.” 

After a few seconds Aahi again asked, “waise boudi, sab yaha se kharid te hai kyunki ye faide mand hai, toh mahilaon kyun woh ghande naadi ke pani mein nahate hai? Pata hai London mein toh har ghar mein ghusal khana hota hai, woh bhi ek se zyada, aur idhar dada mahilaon ke liye ghusal khana bana ne bol rahe he jisme itne sare faide hai, toh use ye log kyun nahi hone de rahe hai? Mahilayo ko toh iss se sabse bada faida hoga.” 

Hearing this, one lady was angry and said, “are tum kon ho aur hamare bare mein aisa kyun bol rahi ho?” Aahi turned to them and said, “main aap logo ko bura nahi bol rahi, main toh bas itna puch rahi hu ke, agar aap sab cheezon mein faida dekh te ho, toh aap ko toh samajh honi chahiye ke ghusal khana ban ne se aap ka kitna faida hoga. Naadi ka ghanda paani jaha janwer bhi neelaye jate hai, jaha mard kabhi bhi aa jate hai, jaha sardiyo mein bhi thande paani se nahana padh ta hain, jaha ek he samay pe ja pate ho aap ye sab se chutkara mile ga aapko. Aap aram se naha sak te ho, saaf pani hoga, mard aa ne jane ka dar nahi hoga, nahi koi samay, agar jaldi jana hai toh bhi jaa sakte ho, thodi der se jana ha toh bhi, aur jitna samay laga na hai laga sakte ho.”

Hearing this another lady said, “aap ne jo bola kya woh sach hai?” Aahi nodded and said, “agar vishwas nahi hota toh boudi se puch lijiye, umne bhi hamare ghar ke ghusal khane mein nahana chalu kiya h-” Another lady cuts her off and says, “hum maan jaye phir bhi hamare pati nahi mane gay.” Sampoorna answers this and said, “kyun nahi mane gay, mere paati ko pata chala ke ghusal khane ke kya faide hai woh bhi maan gaye toh aapke pati bhi maan jaye gay.” The fourth lady said, “par hum apne pati ke khilaf nahi jaa sakte.” Hearing this Bondita asked, “are bhala kyun nahi jaa sakte.” A lady answered, “kyunki wo mard hai, hume unki har ek baat maan ne chahiye.” Sampoorna was about to say something but suddenly a thief came and tried to steal Aahi’s purse, Seeing that other ladies started to back away, Aahi didn’t let go of her purse, seeing this the thief removed a knife, making every lady scream in fear, Aahi said, “Sampoorna boudi, boudi ko leke dur jao jaldi!!!” Sampoorna did what Aahi said. 

Aahi tried to pull her purse back but seeing Aahi move the thief used his knife causing Aahi to have a small cut oh her shoulder, but Aahi kicked the thief which caused the thief to lose his grip on the purse, she took her purse and threw it towards Bondita and started to beat the thief, taking the knife from his hands she threw the knife far enough, seeing this other men came and helped her catch the thief and they tied him up.

Saudamini sees her plan not work and seeing that guy getting caught angrily leaves the place and goes back home. Reaching home she starts to cry and says, “Dida ye Bondita aur Aahi mujhe pagal kar de gay, mera plan wapis na kamyab raha, kuch karno Dida, main Anirudh ke bina ab nahi reh sakti.” Dida sweetly says, “tum chinta mat karo, main kuch kar te hu, tum dukhi mat ho, tumhari ye Dida tumhare liye kuch bhi kar sakti hain.” Saudamini looks at her and says, “sirf aap he mujhe aur mere dard ko samajh sakti hai.”

Bondita and Sampoorna rushed towards Aahi, concerned about her and asked, “tum thik ho na sakhi didi/Aahi ji?” Aahi smiled and said, “main bilkul thik hu.” Aahi went towards the bangle seller and said, “meri dono boudi ne jitne bhi chudiya pasand ke hai woh hum charide gay.” The seller gave her the bangles and Bondita and Sampoorna paid for them. Aahi brought her bangles as well and paid for them as well. 

Aahi turned to the ladies and said, “toh dekha aapne, aap kya bol rahe the? Mardo ka suna chahiye, agar main un ki sun te aur atma raksha nahi shik ti toh mujhe isse buri chot lag sakte thi, aur na hi main mere batwa (purse) bacha sakti, aur jab tak madad aate pata nahi kya hota. Main aisa nahi bol rahi hu ke aap aapne patiyo ki bilkul na sune, per aap ke liye jo acha hai woh aap apni marzi se kar sakte ho, sirf mardo ke na bolne ke karan apni bhalai aur achai ki cheezo ko nazar andaj nahi karna chahiye, usme kisi ki bhi sun ne ki zarurat nahi hai jo aapko thik lage kar yega aap aur humne jo bola hai uske bare main ek baar zarur soch na, hum ye sab aap ke bhale ke liye kar rahe hai, ab hum chalte hai, aur agar humne aap se buri tarike se baat ki ho toh main maafi mangta hu.”

While Aahi said all this Sampoorna tied a cloth n her wound, and Bondita seeing the blood said, "sakhi didi aapko kitna dad ho raha hoga, kya aapko woh chikitsak ke paas jana hai?" even Sampoorna said, "Haan Aahi Ji, Chalye jaldi se chikitsak ke paas jaa te hai." Aahi nodded a no and said, "are shant ho jao, main ekdam thik hu, yeah toh choti si chot hai, ghar Jake paati kar legay aur waise bhi aapne itna aacha kapda bandha toh hai, dhanyavad!"

One lady says, “are ye kya bol rahi hai aap, aapne jo bola thik bola hai, mujhe samajh aagaya hai, aap ka dhanyevad, hum kal bhi baat kar sakte hai, aap ghar jake paati lagayi ye, aap ka bahut khoon beh raha hai.”  Even other ladies told her to go home.

Aahi smiled and said, “dhanyevad aap sab ka meri chinta karne ke liye, ab hum chalte hai.” All the ladies nodded and the trio left, seeing them leave. All the ladies started to discuss how the three of them were right and started to consider the plan for a bath house.

The trio even overhead them talking about how bravely Aahi acted and how the men only came after she threw away the knife, hearing this hurted some mens self respect and they galred at Aahi, but couldn’t do much as they knew the ladies were right. Hearing all this Aahi was very happy but didn't show it and waited till they reached home.
