Next day early morning they left for Basu house. All through the way Nandini was numb. Anurag too didn't take any initiative to talk.

Mohini welcomed her son and daughter in law with full rituals. They did all rituals and by evening all were tired.

But Mohini reminded them that today is kaal ratri and they are not allowed to see each other's face.

Anurag left for his room while Nandini was to sleep with Nivideta. Anupam was with Anurag.

Anurag changed and slept in his room. But sleep was far away from his eyes. He was thinking about the incidents.

Anu : (pov) Right from engagement to marring. Nandini was lost God knows where... Maybe in manik's thoughts. It's paining me so much. As if koi mere dil ko bar bar todh rha hai. Nandini, I know you don't love me.... I don't expect that from you either.... But.... This heart.... It has a mind of its own. Aaj tum Sorry Kyu bol rhi thi Shadi k baad?? Are you sorry for marrying me?? Yeah kaal ratri t khatam hogi Lekin humare riste ki kaal ratri kaab khatam hogi!!!!

While here Nandini's condition was nothing different.

Na : (pov) I'm finally married AGAIN to someone else.... Manik, I'm sorry... I'm sorry I felt weak. I promised you that I'll be strong. But what Will I do. O feel guilty.... Anurag.... Vo acha hai.... Engagement se shadi taak I Never initiated talk or any other conversation. Usne bhi zor nhi ki... He just gave me my space. I feel like I'm... I didn't know what's this feeling aur suddenly shadi k baad hi yeah feeling Kyu ho rha hai!!! Anurag deserved love and care.... But, I... I can't love him.... Aaj Anurag k jagah koi aur hota t sayad Mujhe itnaa space Nhi deta.... Anurag, why did you do this..... Yeah kaal ratri t khatam hogi Lekin humare riste ki kaal ratri sayad kabhi nhi ho!!!

Kolkata :

Morning...

Anurag woke up and dressed in kurta pajama..... Today is their reception.

Anu : (hall area) Ma... Ma... Baba!!! Hori kaka (servant) (he's calling everyone but no one's answering) Kaha hai saab!!!!

Nivi : Yeha (from behind with nandini and rest).... Tumhari biwi ko ready kr rhe the.... Aaj  mere devrani ki peheli rashoi hai....

Anurag was flat... seeing his newly wedded wife... Dressed up as a perfect Bengali bride.... Nandini was looking breath taking.... He couldn't understand from where to start and where to stop.... He felt proud noticing the thick lining of Vermillion filling her hair partition. The sankha pola in her hand were enhancing her beauty. He was literally oogling at his own wife.

Anup : (holding his shoulder) kamon lgche Nandini k(how's she looking)

Moh : Moni Matlab ankho ka Tara... Mera Anu Meri zindegi hai and tum Anu ki biwi yani Meri ankho ka Tara... Yani, Moni... (Kissed her forehead).

They left for dressing up for reception.
