~In das haveli~
Anirudh after signing the agreement goes with the accountant to get the money while others looks on him.~In treasury room~
Accountant: Here you have 10000 rupees. Remember the condition.
Anirudh: Yes, I always keep up my promise. I will return this very soon.
Accountant nodded, Anirudh comes out of the treasury.
While he walks towards hall, Bondita stopped him.
Bondita: Sakha babu...
Anirudh jerked and stopped, on seeing her he hides the money and gave a warm smile.
Bondita breathes in and out as she came running.
Anirudh: What is the need to rush like this?
Bondita: I heard that you are going to your native place.
Anirudh: Yeah, what you heard is right only. We are going to Tulsipur.
Bondita: But we didn't burst crackers yet. You promised me that you will stay here until diwali overs.
Anirudh: Yeah but...
Bondita: What is in your hand? Why you are keeping your hand inside the pocket?
Anirudh: Huh... Nothing. Actually, Bondita I recieved letter from my Kaka. He wants to meet us immediately it seem that's why we are leaving.

Bondita: Is there any common language in this world which can be understood by all kinds of people?
Lavanya: No, I don't think so. Ah, chinna ma, now come, it's time for you to have milk.
