It has been six years when Bondita left for London. She had been working hard for her upcoming exams for getting an admission in the law school of King's University London. Meanwhile the Roy Chaudhary Mansion had other thing to get concerned of. Today Binoy uncle had invited a very important person for lunch. A person who will help his business grow and who will invest in his business so Binoy uncle might be able to open few more franchise of his alcohol producing factories in India.
Preparations for Mr Bhattacharya's arrival had been started since morning. Everyone was hoping that Mr Bhattacharya to invest in Binoy uncle's business and for that they have to please their upcoming wealthy guest. Anirudh too came home early that day and as always Batuk who bunked his lectures and came because all he heard was Mr Bhattacharya has a very beautiful daughter and he will be arriving today at their house with her.
Binoy uncle and Somnath were waiting in their factory for their guest who were about to come from Ireland."Som, make sure nothing goes wrong today. We should get this investment today Som. Give a call in the house and ask that preparations for our guest are ready or not." - Binoy uncle
"Don't worry baba, preparations are already done at home I had already telephoned and asked up there." - Somnath
When Binoy uncle was restless and was inquiring Somnath about the preparations, a car horn hit their ears. Indeed Mr Bhattacharya has arrived in their factory. Binoy uncle went rushing towards the Motor car to escort him. He was wearing a suit and pant while her daughter who wore a traditional Irish attire with an opened umbrella came out of the car. Somnath tried to get a glimpse of her face which was hidden by the umbrella she was carrying. The moment he grabbed her glimpse he was stunned to see how beautiful she is. Binoy uncle was amased when he saw the girl touching his feet to take his blessings. Indeed before coming to India she did research for two months about its customs and traditions. When Binoy uncle was busy with showing Mr Bhattacharya his factory, Somnath was busy looking at the young lady whom he was accompanying. When Binoy uncle and Mr Bhattacharya were busy with their work. Swabhagyawati grabbed Somnath's hand and rushed in a corner. Somnath Indeed was surprised while his heart pounded like anything.
"Ye aap kya kar rahi hai? (What are you doing?)" - Somnath
"Don't think much, I am a very descent lady I don't hit on any random boy, you seem quite reliable can you just show me your village?" - the lady
"Village but.." - Somnath
"Understand my problem, it's the first time I came to India and from past 10 days my father has been making me roam only through the factories for which I have no interest for. I am a literature student, how can I get this alcohol production technologies and stuff. All I wish to see is the Indian culture, the attires, the jewellery and everything. Will you help me?" - begged the lady in front of Somnath making a cute face.
Indeed it was easy to butter up Somnath and get the work done. Somnath blushed and they both escaped secretly planning to reach back before their respective father are done with their business work.
Somnath indeed was very happy to see the young lady showing keen interest in Indian culture while they being Indian themselves follow European culture. The lady indeed made a good impression on him when he saw her shredding tears while looking at the young childrens who were begging on streets. Somnath indeed to build up her mood brought cloths and food for the poor children which they both donated happily."Thank you" - the lady
"I am thankful to you for teaching me what care and concern really is by the way can I ask your good name?" - inquired Somnath decently
"My name is Swabhagyawati, I am currently doing my bachelors in literature." - replied Swabhagyawati with a smile on her face.
"I am Somnath, completed my bachelors in business management. Now just helping my father with his work. Swabhagyawati, do you want to eat something spicy and sour?" - inquired Somnath
