That evening.. Anirudh is now determined to win back Bondita's trust at any cost.. but how??. How will he make Bondita feel that he's still her that old patibabu she admired??.... He'll tell her the truth.. yes he'll tell her all.. But Sumati ma is there... he doesn't care.. he trusts Sumati ma.. She'll not land him in danger...

But Anirudh didn't give a second thought.. he was so engrossed in winning back Bondita's trust that he completely overlooked the precautions he should have taken before dusclosing the long secret truth to the most trusted ones... yes she's the trusted ones the most trusted ones without any doubt... but..... things happen in life that you never thought of because of your own carelessness. . One such mistake was the fake marriage drama and here comes another..... incident happens in life which forces you to change your lifestyle... For good.. no incident in life is valueless or unnecessary  .. all the incidents together builts you up to what you are and what you'll be in future......

Anirudh slowly went towards Bondita's room. He silently stood near the door. Bondita, sitting on the bed was makimg doodles in a copy. She was trying hard to make a perfect design but her injured fingures betrayed her everytime. Bondita felt like crying. If she can't move her fingures fast how will she excel in exams. How will she become a barrister and built up her own identity. Sumati ma was trying to stop her from giving pressure on her injured hands. But Bondita was adamant.

Suddenly Bondita sensed Anirudh standing by the door. Bondita got up from the bed..
"Aab keu aye ho aap yaha??" Said Bondita in an angry tone "itna dil todke bhi keya apla dil nehi bhara??"

Anirudh calmly went near her and knelt down before her.
He hold her shoulders and said "Bondita meri baat suno.."
Bondita shook down his hands
"Nehi sunna mujhe apki koi baat" Bondita was angry amd she pushed the flower vase which fell down and broke into pieces

Anirudh now hold her hands tight and looked straight into her eyes and spoke in a deep voice
"Meri baat suno Bondita "
Bondita was a bit frightened and calmly stood there
"Bondita main tumhe sab sach batana chahata hu... main nehi chahata mujhe leke tumhare dil main koi galat faimi rahe... Sumati ma bhi janti thi yeh baat per..."

Anirudh slightly looked at Sumati ma. Bondita also gave a look at her.

"Meri aur Manorama ki shadi hui i nehi thi.."

"Mazak kar rahe ho aap.. bacchi ho sakti hu bewkoof nehi hu main... shadi nehi joya to itne din natak kar rahe the keya??" Bondita replied in a taunting tone..

"Ha Bondita natak kar raha tha.."

"Keya anap sanap bole ja rahe ho... ma tu hi bol tere jamaibabu yeh keya bol rahe hain??"

"Ha Bondita woh aye the mere pas aur anumati li thi yeh nakli shadi ka natak karne ke liye..." replied Sumati

"Per keu??" Asked Bondita

"Jaise tujhe samjha sake ki asli patni dharam hoti keya hain... samaj ek adarsh patni se keya asaye rakhti hain... .jaise tu firse padhai main dheyan laga sake sach kahu Bondita to tu abhi samjhe gi nehi ki patni dharam akher asal main hain keya.. bari hone ke baat jab samjhe hi toh tere patibabu ke liye tera samman aur bhi bar jayega... main nehi chahati ki tujhe us dard se gujarna pare jisse sabko gujarna parta hain.. apne iccha ke birudh... bohat accha pati mila hain tujhe Bondita.. aisa pati duniya ke haar larki ko mile.."

Bondita was a bit confused but she understood that if her mother is with Anirudh then his intensions might have been good though she wasn't fully convinced..

"Per koi larki aise kaise nakli wali shadi ka natak ke liye ha kahegi??" Asked Bondita. Bondita's this question also stuck Sumati ma.

"Bondita Manorama ne bohat pehli nakli shadi ki baat kahi thi.. per maine na kar diya tha.. tumhari baat sochke.." replied Anirudh. Bondita was confused
"Per uske baat tumhara pagalpan barta geya toh maine Manorama ko ha keh diya.. isse uska maksad aur mera maksad dono purn hota tha.."

Sumati signed him not to tell more.. but Anirudh didn't stop

"Nehi Sumati ma mujhe Bondita se sab sach aj kehna hi hoga... suno Bondita Manorama ek krantikari thi.. main use bohat pehle se janta tha.. tumhare woh jo school ki fees thi na woh maine uski sathi ko churane ke badle usse liya tha.. uska maksad tha kisi bhi tarah viceroy tak pauchne ki aur yaha maine use Roy Choudhury o ki bahu banake use woh rasta bana diya... per party main wahi bomb se tum ghayal hui.."

Sumati was shocked to hear this.. but she was sweating fr some other reason

"Main jab tumhe hospital le geya us dauran British police main plan banaya .. viceroy ke ane ka afwa faila ke krantikari o ko fasane ka.. Manorama waha pauchi bhi per khud ke bomb se khud hi ..... Viceroy ko marne ka laksh uska pura na ho paya.. aur yeh sirf aj hum tino jante hain... yeh baat kisi aur ko na batana Bondita nehi to main fas jaunga"

Bondita was looking straight at him shocked

Anirudh looked at Sumati ma . She was looking straight at the door in shock

Suddenly Anirudh felt something and a shiver ran down his spine.
He hastily stood up and looked behind

Kaka was looking at him straight. And to his misfortune Binoy was also standing behind kaka and his stare was more furious.

They came by hearing the sound of the breaking vase but here they heard something shocking

Anirudh took a gulp. He forgot the shut the door before telling Bondita the truth. And his fortune was so bad that the two together came at a time when they shouldn't have come....

What will Anirudh do now???
