Anirudh pinpoints the fact that Trilochan and Batuk can't keep up with Bondita if he is not there.
Trilochan worries for his mistakes.
It's night 9 pm.
~In Room~
Bondita is leaning on the pillows.
Anirudh: How you are feeling now?
Bondita: Hn, I am fine pati babu. Are you angry on me?
Anirudh: Why would I get angry on you?
Bondita: I lied you that i went inside the cupboard to take dolls.
Anirudh: I know!
Bondita: Then why you are not scolding me?
Anirudh: It's not your fault. Now, come pack all your luggages.
Bondita: Why?
Anirudh: Huh, I forgot to tell you. You got admission in Dalhousie hostel.
Bondita's smile reduced.
Anirudh: Bondita, we must be there on time. We are going to Culcutta tomorrow morning itself.
Bondita is looking at other side.
Anirudh: I am speaking here where you are looking at?
Bondita: Pati babu...
Anirudh: Hn?
Bondita: I don't want school.
Anirudh is shocked.
Bondita: I will stay here itself to take care of Kaka sasurji. You send Batuk to school.
Anirudh: Are you playing? I seeked Anmol ji's help in this. He had spoken for us. Now why you are stepping back?
Bondita stays quite.
Anirudh: Okay, I understood. You worried about Kaka and Batuk hn na? Kaka told me everything.
Bondita looks on. Trilochan comes there. Bondita tries to wake from the bed.
Trilochan: Bahu, don't strain. I am here to speak with your pati babu.
Anirudh looks on.
Trilochan: Here you have, 5 gold coins. Take this with you, sell it and use the money for your studies. I will send some more via DD to you in upcoming days.
Anirudh: Ka...ka...
Trilochan: Don't think too much, Anirudh. Get this.
He got it from his hands.
Trilochan: God bless you both! We will be waiting for you two for next 3 years.
Anirudh: What about Batuk?
Trilochan: I will handle him. Anirudh, don't forgot that condition okay?
Anirudh recalls his condition and nods. Trilochan went out of their room.
Anirudh: Chalo, bondita. Pack everything you need. Don't miss anything. One we leave, then we can't return back here for next 3 years.
Bondita: Pati babu, after leaving me in hostel you will go to bombay hn na?
Anirudh: Hn, Bondita.
Bondita's eyes filled with tears. Anirudh looks on.
Anirudh: Wh..what happened?
Bondita nods no and started to pack her things.
Anirudh: I.. i will go out and pack my things.
He gave a fake smile and went out.
Bondita packs her luggages with tears.
Bondita: How will I stay in hostel alone without pati babu?
She packs the skirts and tops which was given by Anirudh.
Bondita: How long will it take to complete 3 years?
She looks at Anirudh from the room.
Anirudh is in hall. Packing his stuffs.
Anirudh thinks: How will Bondita cope up with others there?
He packs the clothes which was washed by Bondita.
Anirudh thinks: Will they take care of her properly? How long will it take to complete 3 years?
He turns suddenly towards the room, Bondita sticks to the wall and hides from him.
She cries silently. Anirudh continued to pack his things.
~After few minutes~
It's 10.30 pm. Bondita comes to hall with much hesitation.
Anirudh looks at her with moist eyes.
Bondita: Pat...pati babu, I packed my things. You packed yours or you need my help?
Anirudh: I... I packed mine, Bondita.
Bondita nods yes.
Anirudh: Its time now. Go and sleep. Tomorrow we must leave early.
Bondita's legs are not listening to her heart. She steps forward but her heart holds on.
Anirudh looks on.
Bondita: Pati babu, how much time is left for sun rise?
Anirudh looks at the clock it's 10.33 pm.
Anirudh: Still more time, Bondita.
Bondita shook her head and stands there itself by looking at clock.
Anirudh always scolds her if she is awake still after 10 pm but now he is not even uttering a word.
His eyes rolls here and there.
Trilochan came out to drink water, looks at them.
Trilochan: Bahu, aren't you slept yet?
Bondita: Hn, Kaka sasuji, going now.
She said in a low voice and walks from there. Anirudh's hand was about to stop her but his mind dominated.
He looks on until Bondita entered inside the room and locked it.
Anirudh thinks: What is happening with me? Why am i feeling strange? Why my eyes are stagnating tears now? I feel difficult to breath.
He rose up and rushed outside the house.
Whole Tulsipur is silent. Chill breeze blows on his face. No one is on the road.
Anirudh looked up to the sky, took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
Only the memories of him with Bondita appeared. Tears rolls down automatically without his conscience.
He opened his eyes at once. It was his first time to cry for someone without his conscience.
He then entered the house.
He looks at the clock, it's 11 pm now.~In room~
Bondita is looking at the sky via window. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
First face appeared is none other than her pati babu.
She recalls the happy moments.
Tears roll down to her pink cheeks.
Bondita went to bed. Anirudh also closed his eyes on matress to sleep.
What will happen next?
Just stay tuned to know about it!❤️
