Barrister Babu: A Tale Retold

13 ~ Bondita meets Anirudh

A/N: I have updated the ages of some of the characters.

***

An angry yet heartbroken Bondita walked out of the Das Bari which was noticed by Tupur and Tapur as they had followed her so as to console her.

She walked barefoot all the way to Saudamini's house, not bothering about her bleeding feet. 

On the other hand, Kalindi was updated on Bondita's wordless departure and Tapur-Tupur boldly told certain things about Chandrachur, which left her shocked. Later, Rimjhim suggested something.

"Thaku Maa, pardon me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Bondita is safe here."

"Speak clearly, Rimjhim."

"Thaku Maa, look at how Jamai Babu talked to Bondita. Let me tell you a secret, he harbours hatred for Tupur, Tapur and Bondita as they're educated. I've heard Tupur cry to Tapur on the abuse inflicted on her by Jamai Babu. It seems he wanted Bondita but was married off to Tupur and hates her."

Kalindi was shocked to hear this.

"Why did it take you this long to tell me, Rimjhim?" Kalindi snapped at Rimjhim.

"Do not get angry at me, you reacted angrily and defended Chandrachur when I told you that he had beaten my daughter, Thaku Maa. How can you expect me to say this?"

"I'm sorry, Rimjhim. I thought he was a good person. First Tupur-Tapur and now you, so I will believe you guys. What's your suggestion?"

"We'll make Tupur and Tapur pack all of Bondita's belongings here and take them to Tulsipur where she is currently living with her best friend. This will happen during the nighttime and both will return by next day."

"I hope Bondita understands."

"She will, Thaku Maa. I will ask Tupur and Tapur to explain everything to Bondita."

"Okay. Now get them to pack everything."

Chandrachur was pacing back and forth for the next step he had to take.

On the other hand, Bondita had reached Saudamini's house. 

As Saudamini opened the door, Bondita fell on her as she became unconscious. Bhaumik and Dida helped her to carry Bondita to the bed and called a doctor. He came and told them that Bondita was tired and since she didn't eat anything, she had fainted. After tending to her injuries and prescribing some tablets, he left.

Chandrachur wanted to destroy Bondita at any cost. So, he decided to go to the Das Bari and sneak into her room to destroy all of her important files but was intercepted by Prosenjit who informed him that Bondita's files were with her and not with him.

Tupur and Tapur had managed to pack up all of her dresses, accessories, essential documents and files and hid it in a safe place. All that was left was to take it to the Jeep and go to Tulsipur. They went to Kalindi and informed her of everything. She gave them the idea of keeping Bondita's things in midst of the herbs and concoctions she had packed for the shipment.

That night, during dinner, Kalindi prepared a drink laced with sleep medicines for everyone so that no one especially Chandrachur and his men wouldn't know about their plan. As everyone was asleep, Tupur, Tapur and Prosenjit left for Tulsipur.

They reached Tulsipur the next morning and knocked on Saudamini's door.
