It is 7:30 PM in the night.
Anidita and RC family reached to the RC Mansion. Kalyani kaki has done all the preparation for "Nav-vadhu's" grah pravesh with Bihari and Koyli. After listening the honk, they reached to the main door with aarti ki thal.(Kalyani is very happy that Bondita is married to Anirudh and she will see her after so long). Anidita were looking lovely together like the match made in heaven and standing on the main door with other family members.
Kalyani(looking at Anidita)- Khuba sundara, dono ko kisi kin azar na lage. and puts kaka tika behind ears of Anirudh and Bondita.
Kaka(to Kalyani)- Bahut bahut dhnayavad aapka ki aap yaha hai ab sari rasme acche se ho jayengi.
Kalyani nodded with the smile.
Anirudh- Yeh sab rasme karna zaroori hai kya. mai bahut thak gaya hu. mai ja raha hu mujhe nahi karni ye rasme.
Bondita- rasme Q nahi karni aapko, Pati babu?? toh kya aap London se barristory kar k aaye hai, meri didi bhi doctor hai par sab rasme acche se karti hai na. Toh aap nahi kar sakte kya hamare acche rishte k liye. Aur jab hamara Rishta accha hoga tabhi toh pariwar khusi se rahega na. aakhir pariwar k liye hi toh hame vivah aur baki rasme karni hoti hai.
Anirudh felt awkward when he heard "Patibabu" for the first time and he couldn't speak anything and in numb state performed all after-marriage rituals. After all the rituals were done.
One random Aunty(in teasing tone) – Anirudh babu, par aaj kalratri hai aap aur chhoti malkin aaj raat nahi mil sakte isiliye aapko alag alag kamro me sona hoga aur kal satyanaraya puja k baad aap ek kamre me rah sakte hai.
(Before Ani could say anything kaka interuppted)
Kaka- han aap bilkul sahi keh rahi hai ham iska khyal rakhenge. Ab aap log bhi bhojan graham karke prasthan kijiyeja.
All the ladies took Bondita to Anirudh's room, which was decorated beautifully with flowers, and a decent aroma was making the environment pleasant. Anirudh who is thinking to talk to Bondita about this marriage and in all this chaos anyhow he got the chance to go to his room.
Anirudh's Pov- mai Bondita se keh dunga ki, yeh shadi maine sirf apne kaka ki Khushi aur izzat rakhne k liye ki hai. Mai use apni patni nahi manta aur woh iss rishte se koi umeede na rakhe aur apna jeevan bhi woh jaise jeena chahti hai waise jee sakti hai. Koi rok tok nahi hogi mere taraf se aur na hi muje roke toke.
Anirudh knocks the door but nobody opens so he enters to his room with the hesitation where "his beautiful wife is sleeping by hugging the pillow, her peaceful sleep after the tiredness and innocent beauty has stopped him to awake her." He almost forgets why he has come to the room and straight away goes to study.
In study Anirudh is thinking – In whatever circumstances l got married to Bondita but in all this what is the fault of her? I know l am not happy with this marriage but if I will say all this to her, her innocent heart will be broken. How can l do this to any girl who is not even one percent responsible for this. Thank u Dugga ma! Aapne bacha liya, nahi toh aurato k adhikar aur maan samman ki chinta karne wale Anirudh aaj ek nirdosh ladki ka dil dukkha deta. Maa, mujhe shakti dena ki mai koi sahi samay dekhkar use yeh baat bta du taki woh is pati- patni wale rishte k dhoke me na rahe . par tab tak Bondita ko apni zimmedari man kar uske sapne pure karne me uski madad karunga. Aakhir Swastika ki behan hai kuch karne k sapne toh uske bhi honge hi. (as he couldn't speak all this to anyone, he wrote it in his diary)
The next day-
Everyone gathered for Satyanarayana Pooja.
Bondita is beautifully dressed in Yellow sari with all the jewels and was looking alike Swastika was looking on her "Samman Divas". Anirudh couldn't take his eyes from her until he noticed that cute innocent face which is not of Swastika and came back to reality.
Batuk(To Anirudh and Som)- Baudi toh bahut hi sundar hai aur kaka ne btaya mujhe ki yeh mere barabar ki hai toh meri toh khub jamegi boudi k sath.
Som- han aur suna hai khana bhi bahut accha banati hai aur pooja path ki sari vidhiya bhi aati hai inhe.
Shivam- Bondita matric pass bhi hai. Mujhe nahi laga tha ki woh itte jaldi shaadi kar legi. Anirudh da aap bahut kismat wale hai ki Bondita aapki patni bani hai.
Binoy(also joined them)- han Anirudh, Bahut taarif suni hai hamne bhi Bondita ki. Bas tum bhi use sacche man se accept kar lo aur khush raho.
No response came from Anirudh.
Kaka- Are baatchit hi karoge ya pooja bhi karoge. Aao Anirudh pooja k liye sab intzaar kar rahe hai.
Anirudh looked at Bondita she was smiling and her eyes were saying- aaiye na patibabu, jaldi pooja kar lete hai and Bondita said.
Bondita – Are aaiye na Patibabu, mujhe bahut bhookh bhi lag rahi hai, iss pooja k chakkar me kuch nahi khaya maine. kahi roshogulle khatm na ho jae mere manpasand hai.
Everyone laughed on this innocent comment of her.
Kaka- are nahi bahu, uski chinta na karo tum humne rasoi me alag se 8 handiya rakhwa di hai roshogulle ki tum aaram se kha lena. Par Anirudh ab agar tum pooja k liye nahi baithe toh hamse bura koi nahi hoga.
Anirudh and Bondita performed the pooja, after pooja Kaka and Binoy introduced the couple to their friend and relatives. Som and batuk also introduced their boudi to their friends. Everyone had the dinner then some ladies came to Bondita asked if she had proper dinner and took her to Anirudh's room.
Here kaka comes to Anirudh- hame lagta nahi ki tumhe aage ki rasmo k liye kuch btane ki zaroorat hai toh jao ab apne kamre me tumhari patni tumhari raah dekh rahi hogi.
Anirudh grows furies- kaka, aapko pata bhi hai aapne kya kiya hai? Bondita nabalik hai aur ek barrister hote hue mai kanoono ko kaise tod sakta hu... aapne socha bhi kaise ek chhoti bacchi k sath mai aage ki rasme karunga bhi. Agar mujhe uski umar ka zara bhi bhanak hoti toh mai yeh vivah kabhi nahi karta.
Kaka- Hum woh kuch nahi jaante, jane kitne kanoon bane hue hai, kis kis ka palan karenge hum aur in kanoono k chakkar me hum Bondita jaisi bahu se hath nahi khona chahte bas.Zammidar kanoon ka palan nahi bhi kare toh kuch khas farak nahi padta bta de tumhe itna rutba hai hamara yaha.
Anirudh- toh thik hai aap kuch bhi keh lijiye, mujhe kanoono ka paalan karna aata hai. Isiliye mai Bondita sath ek kamre me nahi rahunga and leaves in anger.
Anirudh enters his room and throws the gift with a thud which is metal radhakrishn's murty in it meanwhile Bondita who is sitting on one side of bed and isreading one book gets frightened.(First she puts that Radhakrishna's Murti on the table and apologies for her patibabu's unusual deed)
Bondita(is trembling and looking down)-Kya hua patibabu? Aap ne gift q phek diye. Aap gussa hai mujhse ki mai Ghoonghat me nahi hu, qki mujhe saans nahi aa rahi thi toh maine ghoonghat khol diya pahle hi.
Anirudh (takes a deep breath and try to be calm) – Kuch nahi tum so jao, mai tumse naraz nahi hu, aur ab tak soi q nahi tum?
Bondita(quite less scared now)- sabne kaha tha aapke aane tak na soye aur phir shaadi k baad ka pahla tohfa bhi toh milta hai aaj isiliye jagi hui thi mai and giggled.
Anirudh- nahi Bondita, mai koi tohfa nahi laya tumhare liye, aur ab so jao ab mai bhi aa gaya hu na.
Bondita makes the puffy mouth and looks towards Anirudh.
Anirudh- Are isme gussa hone ki konsi baat hai? Mujhe kal court bhi jana hai aur tumhe bhi toh subah uth kar kaka k sath pooja aarti bhi toh karni hogi na toh so jao.
Bondita(innocently)- Thik hai par vaada kijiye, mujhe aap mera tohfa baad me denge par abhi mujhe bahut bhookh lagi hai toh kya aap rasoi se Rosogulle ki handi la sakte hai qki agar mai gai aur kisi ne mujhe dekh liya toh sab mujhe chatori bahu samjhenge.
Anirudh giggled and brings roshogulle ki handi for Bondita.
Bondita ate full handi of roshogulla and before eating the last one she looked at Anirudh aap bhi khayenge....?
Anirudh who was already looking at Bondita surprisingly with smile – nahi tum kha lo, par tumne puri ek handi rosogulle kaise kha liye?
Bonidita keeps the roshogulla in her mouth ate enjoyingly with eyes closed and said – Aise.(And they both laughed once again)
As soon as she finished eating 20 roshogullas she falls asleep. And on the beautifully decorated bed she was looking like that no one in this world can match her innocent beauty.
Anirudh stayed in the same room that night because while bringing the rosogullas kaka warned him that some guests are still in their home so for tonight he must stay in the same room with Bondita.
He thought to do the case study for next day as he was not feeling sleepy. But whenever he looked at Bondita he was finding peace but feeling guilty.
Next Morning:
Bondita and her kaka sasurji did the Durga pooja, then Bondita prepared the breakfast with koyli and served to everyone, everyone praised Bondita for her cooking skills, she did all her job as a sulakshini bahu on the day 1.
RC family was elated that they have got Bondita as their family member.
One year passed and Bondita is well settled in RC's culture and tradition. Aprat from only doing household work she is helping her KSJ in Zammidari stuff, She has build the reading skills and reads English novels as well so she takes help from Batuk and Som (trio has built good bonding), Binoy also sometimes asks suggestion from Bondita for business as he used to ask Som,batuk and Anirudh. Koyali and Bihari are enjoying doing the work around their chhoti malkin. Bondita is only taking care of her patibabu's court stuff like all the case files, papers, and other stuff. Bondita considers her patibabu as her best friend as he has solution for all her problems, and he was also very impressed too by Bondita that she is doing other stuff as well apart from doing household work only.
this one year passed happiliy as there is no villain in Anidita's life.
