Author's pov:
On Bondita's results day, after a long time or may be after many years Trilochan and Binoy had heart to heart talk late at night.
Trilochan is extremely happy that Anirudh had forgiven his father and happy for their union which he thought is impossible in his lifetime but his Bondita bahu made it possible.
Binoy hesitatingly asked standing near Shubhra photo but unable to look at her: Da, can I ask you one thing?
Trilochan with tears: Haa Binoy
Binoy: what did ...what ..did.. sh..Shubhra said when she is leaving the world?
Trilochan is surprised and almost shocked that he never expected this question from his arrogant twin brother.
Binoy: Did she tell anything about me daa? Did she take my name on that day?
Trilochan: leave it Binoy, what's the use of recollecting bitter past?
Binoy: Da, when she is alive I didn't speak or think of her. Atleast let me talk about her even now. Else how can I ask her apology after I die and meet her there? (Binoy said pointing up).
Trilochan emotionally said with a painful expression: Binoy! no.
Binoy: It's ok da, tell me honestly all truth what all she had told and went through.
Trilochan removed his spects, told what old priest told him during havan in Calcutta temple, how he broke rule for shubhra behen and called English doctor in last minute for her , and continued: On death bed she asked me to pay final salutations to you and asked you to be happy from now on. She had written farewell letters to all her children, to me, to eldest bahu - I mean for Bondita bahu. So far I didn't give her. Anirudh had kept her diaries with him
Binoy: Did he still have?
Trilochan emotionally; yes Binoy, do you... I mean do you want to read it? I will ask him to give you so that you can keep it with you.
Binoy: No daa, I lost that eligibility. I am not worthy of her memories. I have harrased her alot - physically and mentally, emotionally. I don't have that eligibility to read what all she had gone through.
Trilochan laid his hands on his brother's shoulder and said emotionally: Binoy.
Binoy: Even now also I am selfish daa. If I read all those I may break emotionally and may be my heart may stop reading about her miserable life. I am not exactly selfish for my life but selfish to see my children's growth and then want to die.
Both brothers shared emotional moments and Anirudh had seen all these, he observed the real change in his father, but he too doesn't want to give her diaries to him, because it will really break his father's heart. Although in his letter she expressed her belief that his father will change at one day may be in his old age, but still he can't give him her diaries.
He went to his mother's diaries and embraced it and said, : Maa ! Baba has changed maa, baba has changed. Your words came true . Are you happy now maa? Are you happy?
