Bondita compels Anirudh to speak about Bondita but he refuses.
~In ashram~
Bondita is standing stubbornly.
Anirudh: You will get leg pain only not the answers. So don't waste your time by standing here.
Bondita: Why aren't you sharing anything about your wife?
Anirudh: Why should I share about her to you?
Bondita: Sahi, who am i? I am a third person. I am an anadh. I must stay in my limits, it's my fault to ask you about it.
Anirudh's face changed.
Bondita: Here after i won't disturb you. I am going to post the letter to my husband. Hope, he must come to accept me.
Anirudh: I didn't meant that but in these many years only you are stressing me to know about my wife. That's why, I...
Bondita: No one in this village knows about her death?
Anirudh: Everyone knows, but not the reason. Only Roy Chaudharys knew it.
He thinks of reading a letter about Bondita's death. His eyes filled with tears.
Bondita looks on.
Anirudh: It's been 7 years but still her smile is in front of my eyes.
Bondita's eyes became moist.
Anirudh: Why... Why did she left me alone?
Tears rolls down from Bondita's eyes.
Anirudh: It was my mistake, everything is my mistake. I shouldn't have sent her to dalhousie hostel. Mu mistake it is.
He hits himself. Bondita stopped him.
Bondita: Barrister Babu, nothing is your mistake. You just wanted to give her a good future.
Anirudh: I just spoiled her future. For my selfishness I killed her.
Bondita nods no.
Anirudh: She told me many times that she would not go to hostel. But i compelled her. That's why Durga maa took her far away from me.
Bondita couldn't control her tears.
Anirudh: Leave it, Anita. You go and take rest.
Bondita: One last question, who told you about her death?
Anirudh: A letter! After that bomb blast in dalhousie hostel i recieved a letter.
Bondita: You didn't went straight to look her body?
Anirudh: How will i look at her like that? Do you think I am strong enough to see my Bondita as a dead body?
He looks at her, she is crying silently.
Anirudh: Why are you crying?
Bondita nods no and wipes her tears.
Anirudh: Now tell me about your pati babu, why did he abandoned you? Because of dowry?
She nods no.
Anirudh: Then?
Bondita comes to say something but Saudamini arrives there.
She looks at Bondita and stares. Anirudh looks on.
Mini: Anirudh, how sweet you are! You are running an anadh ashram?
Anirudh didn't respond anything.
She came and sat beside Anirudh. Bondita looks on.
Mini: Only this girl is staying here?
