Part 18: Chandrachur manipulating evidences, Anirudh’s strong reply to Sumati
Chandrachur reached Calcutta along with Shomik and started a small office. Although Shomik is suspicious of chandrachur actions, latter manipulated well. Shomik met Anirudh and Bondita and explained about the current situation to them.
Anirudh expressed his displeasure (in high pitch as our DJ babu ) reminded all the incidents from Bondita's father death to recent harrassment through letters and abuse in the dark.chandrachur also followed Shomik and listening from window.
Shomik replied "Even though I have my doubts but my peshi health is not fine as she is suffering with Amnaesia and I am unable to say anything infront of her. Sumati boudi also requested me to accept Chandrachur. So far he is behaving decently, and I got nothing to suspect. I asked him about the invalid address he was sending letters, he told that there are 2 streets with same name. Chandrachur told that they actually went to southern states pilgrimages, not to Haridwar, kasi, etc in northern states."
Bondita expressed her doubt that Thakuma doesn't look like an Amnaesia patient, Anirudh looked at him suspiciously but Shomik told that sometimes she remember everything and sometimes she had forgotten basic things and gave 2 -3 incidents as examples.
They both looked at eachother as if she is pretending the disease.
Chandrachur from window side recollected how he got information about Gagan searching for him when his legs were injured through his British police officer friend and hatched a plan. He had pretended that his Thakuma has Amnaesia disease. He is thinking to clear all their doubts step by step and create differences between Anirudh and Bondita.
Anirudh is not satisfied with Shomik's explanation, latter asked Bondita to come to office and help him in accounts as it is told by your mother and Thakuma.
Both Anirudh and Bondita are bewildered, Anirudh tried to prevent her from going but Bondita told that she will come to office tomorrow.
After Shomik left, Anirudh expressed his displeasure and insecured feeling, to which she replied that it is necessary for her to go, else family will be in trouble. One thing is yet to be cleared that is his handwriting. He told that he will also accompany her but she told that she will go and check first, if she find anything suspicious, she will call him to his office. He told that he will be there secretly. She nodded.
Anirudh praised her that she had all the qualifications to become a successful barrister.
She suddenly found a shadow near by window, made him keep quiet 🤫, went to check who is on the other side but chandrachur also got doubt and he slipped from there. She is still suspicious that someone heard them.
Shomik called Bondita near the office and introduced chandrachur as Kalindi's grandson who came from Hooghly. She folded hands as wishing him. Shomik asked to take care of business in Calcutta along with chandrachur and help him in handling accounts. But Anirudh can’t keep her in risk, came secretly to check if she is safe or not.
She cleverly checked his handwriting but much to her surprise his handwriting is changed. He is talking with her in most obedient way.
Chandrachur told that " Bondita ji is the boss and I will assist her here. I will follow her orders." and thought that he can impress her and get closer quickly.
She immediately interrupted and told that business is not her cup of tea and Tapur will be taking care of business. Chandrachur smile is vanished, & Shomik is wondered and asked "Tapur! Bondita, your sister is studying from home. She didn't come out and had seen the world. She can't handle these kind of toughest jobs. But you can handle it much efficiently than her."
Bondita replied : "Kaka, Tapur had the efficiency and skill to maintain business. I had observed her when I came to holidays that she is playing with dolls of maintaining shop of medicines and selling to customers. I have observed her words, ideas and came to conclusion that she can do this job well. Only thing is she need to get educated and proper guidance along with managing business. So you please send her here to the city. She will get educated by our teacher as well as manage business. Also Tupur didi who didn't have exposure to outside world has maintained RC garments business efficiently in Tulsipur and had successfully completed a project also."
Shomik felt sad by remembering his late daughter Tupur and chandrachur asked the details about how she passed away.
Bondita explained that our enemy Bhaumik has set fire to godown of RC garments due to which Tupur, her kaki saas Gowri (wife of Trilochan) and Sourav has passed away.
Chandrachur tried to manipulate that RCs alliance is a bad omen for them, to which Bondita asked him sternly not to say a word against them, accidents and bad incidents can happen anywhere. Later Shomik and Bondita left.
Bondita told everything to Anirudh in Shomik's presence. Shomik told that he will bring Tapur to the city soon, I will handle in Krishnanagar and near by villages.
Next day, as per Anirudh's plan, he is introduced as legal advisor and financial partner of their business. Anirudh also shifted his father Kolkata office to the nearby office of Shomik(took Binoy's permission through phone). Chandrachur didn't show up his feelings and expressed his happiness. He asked about Bondita to which Anirudh replied that she is preparing for her final exams. Till then no one should disturb her.
Chandrachur asked his relationship with Bondita to which Anirudh replied that he is her teacher and friend. They started working together but much to the dismay of Anirudh chandrachur had left no strong evidence that will make him catch red handed, also giving spontaneous answers.
On the other side, Chandrachur is unable to digest the fact that still Anirudh and Bondita are getting more closer after their marriage annulment and also observed the spark in her eyes when she see him.
Chandrachur has contacts in British officers and made Indrani to get transferred to another place, so that Tapur won't be educated and business burden will come on Bondita
He had brought a patient suffering with incurable disease and having poor family and projected as Chandrachur infront of Gagan via house owners who stay in back of Indrani house. (He infact used his aide to blackmail house owners and made them to lie that poor patient is Chandrachur). He created all the evidences stating that the poor patient is only Chandrachur and he tricked them to believe that their handwriting matches. He had also created a fake burnt mark on the patient's hand which he covered the mark with skin coloured glouses and tied with sacred threads.
Gagan believed the evidences, but Anirudh is still feeling uneasy. Bondita is unable to properly say that he is the groom or not whom she spoke on her haldi day, but Anirudh (whom he met) clarified that patient cannot be the same person as he remembered well. The patient (whose face has become dull and clearly have symptoms that he is going to die) gave all the correct details that he killed Bhairavi, Surender. He also confessed that Kalindi is his grandmother who used to be with him, due to his lust on women and little girls he got the disease as a punishment, going to die and she also died in an accident.
So he created all the solid proof evidences which doesn't have any loopholes and proved that real Chandrachur and his grandmother (real) Kalindi are in pilgrimages and confused with their proofs. Shomik also started believing those proofs. When all details are exposed and Gagan wants to arrest the patient is expired.
On the other side, Bondita met Anirudh and learnt all the details. She understood his dilemma, cheered him that truth cannot be hidden for long time. He gave her notes to prepare for final exams, asked her not to deviate from ambition at any cost.
Chandrachur decided to cleverly bring distance between them. He made sumati, Kalindi and Tapur shift to Calcutta as he want to do service to his old grandmother. Rimjhim agreed to send Tapur thinking that she want to fix her alliance with Chandrachur. She also requested Kalindi to think of proposal. But latter cleverly didn't give her approval but promised that she will get best alliance for Tapur. They all shifted to another house and made Bondita also stay with them, while Shomik and Rimjhim stay in Krishnanagar., Came to make arrangements for them. Anirudh took a house near to Bondita house and started giving signal through light.
Sumati came to know that Bondita is still taking Anirudh's help in exams and bursted on her. Bondita looked at Shomik that why her mother is asking as if she was unaware of it . Shomik told that he already knew it, but hid the fact because Anirudh's guidance is needed for her, Bondita is thinking that you already knew about it.
Chandrachur cleverly managed sumati's anger, told that Bondita is a teenager and should not shout on growing children. It is sumati's mistake who taught her to worship Anirudh as husband and due to annulling marriage she is asking Bondita to avoid him, which is not right. She is pure like a fire and family members should believe her. He silently whispered in sumati’s ears to confront Anirudh and make him go away.
Sumati confronted Anirudh and commanded him to stay away from her daughter but latter cleverly replied with folded hands "Maa, I cannot leave my student, friend's hand at any cost. Once I have given you promise that I will protect her and I won't back off"
Sumati: The day you have broken the relationship, promise is also broken. So you have to leave her forever
Anirudh in DJ mode with full pitch: I only broke relationship because she has the right to choose her life partner at right age. My promise is that I will protect her like a shadow even in darkness. Till today and forever I won't break my promise . I have married her at that time because there is no law against child marriages. Today we have it. With changing times, we will have more privileges, facilities and broad minded thinking in our life. For what reason are yoy angry on me, maa?
Because I have not started married life with her, because I have seen her as a raw soil or a bud which is not grown and want the bud to grow naturally to become a flower. Is this my fault maa? Do you want your daughter also suffer like you with continuous miscarriages and get scared of married life like many other girls do? (Sumati is stunned and have no answer) Do you want your daughter also get cheated by own people like you suffered by your dada, boudi? To overcome those issues, I want her to get educated. Tell me, where did I go wrong? What made you to hate me to the core.
Today many women are coming forward to get direct education from school, colleges. Within 5.5 years she is going to become barrister and everyone will start respecting her. The one who raised fingers on her will give an outstanding ovation to her. Believe me, I beg you not to spoil her future.
Sumati is in thoughts and coming into her house, Bonditha stood there listening to all their conversation, her respect towards him is increasing. As soon as he left (without noticing Bondita) She requested her mother to never bring such a situation that whom she should choose between you (mother) and her sakha babu, because I always respect him like a god.
Tapur is so scared to go to office, but Bondita encouraged her, taught her mathematics which contain accounts and also English language. She asked not to lose confidence at any cost. Tapur nodded. Bondita spoke :
"Tapur, just close your eyes and take a long breathe. We girls, have the capacity to bring a change in our lives. We should help ourselves. Till how long will you play with lifeless dolls and express your thoughts to them. Come out of those games and face the people, how much will they discourage and make you fall, understand that they are scared that you might succeed in life. Don't give up, just get up and look at the goal only. One day you will become highly successful and helpful to Shomik kaka. We have to prove that girls can do anything. Always carry pepper powder with you"
Saying so, Bonditha gave some basic precautions to Tapur like how Anirudh taught her to face the people in harmful situations. She also took care that chandrachur room is separated from their rooms
In office, Chandrachur tried his best to demotivate Tapur, but she closed her eyes, remembered her Bondita didi motivational words and spoke about her medicines to customers, which impressed them and infuriated Chandrachur. As Indrani left Calcutta, Bonditha taught all accounts, and brought some business management books from library and helped her while managing her own studies.
Chandrachur is unable to digest that Tapur is increasing her capabilities and competing with him, and Bonditha is busy in her exam preparations with Anirudh in library after her school. As he is pretending to be a gentleman infront of their eyes and Bondita with her arguments not making him to talk in a pessimistic way, also his Thakuma is unable to say a word because Bondita kept on remembering her Amnaesia disease.
Bonditha still suspicious of chandrachur, for Tapur's safety cleverly asked Sumati also to look after Tapur in office, just by sitting aside. She along with Tapur tricked her mother and slowly made her involved in making Ayurvedic medicines and made her full busy.
Sumati is amazed to found herself as a working woman and taking salary for her work in office. She also started observing the outside world. Seeing Sumati capabilities, Kalindi tried to stop her that she is also breaking stereotypes of women going to office,..all. But Bonditha made her remember that she is amnaesia patient, her mother is going to temple daily to worship Maa Lakshmi sincerely. Kalindi just frowns and unable to say a word because her lie will be exposed by Bonditha.
Sumati asked Bonditha that why did she lie. Latter replied that it is not a lie, it is a truth that you are worshiping maa Lakshmi through hardwork and dedication, because work is a worship to god. Both Kalindi and Chandrachur got insecured that they may become unwanted by Das family soon.
Chandrachur tried to create hurdles to Bonditha by hiding her exam hall ticket, but Anirudh (able to predict the obstacles) cleverly brought another hall ticket, made her shift to near by girls hostel (told to Sumati by bringing a fake official letter that it is mandatory that all students should shift to hostel for another 3 weeks) so that no one should stop her in final exams and made sure that she successfully complete her XII std exams and law entrance exam.
Amidst of all these, Bondita passed her XII std exams with flying colors and got admission in Calcutta law college as well as in London also. She requested Anirudh that she will study here only because her passion of becoming bb will be increasing by looking at society, by listening taunts that a woman should not do it,.. she promised him that she would never stop anywhere. He agreed her to join Calcutta law college along with commerce subject in degree which will be started after 2 months.
