Chapter 20: Chandrachur stabbed Anirudh. Bonditha to take care of him
Chandrachur planned to attack Anirudh with his henchmen and sent their common neighbor Surya ( a slum area guy who used to roam aimlessly in their area) who used to stay in their Street , went to Anirudh's office and informed that Bondita met with an accident. He is highly shocked, mind stopped working. Without any other thought he followed Surya and latter took him to an isolated place.
After few minutes, Bondita came to Anirudh's office, but his staff (who know Bondita well) are surprised to see her and told that someone came and told him that she met with an accident.
She is trembled to listen this, thought for a while and immediately called Gagan to help her. Latter immediately started to Anirudh's office, she is literally crying. Sumati and Tapur went to visit a patient who is none other than Catherine (second wife of Binoy), who came with him to Calcutta that day and yet to meet Anirudh.
Catherine is suffering with women's problem of heavy and continuous bleeding, Sumati met her and gave medicine, gave instructions. Binoy is also shocked to see Sumati, expressed his anger that Bonditha had agreed with Anirudh for marriage annulment, which is not a practice in our country, society. Sumati also stood there frowning, but immediately Catherine controlled Binoy’s anger stating that Anirudh Bonditha thought process is same, this is the reason they are best friends and like each other. This is the reason Anirudh is not accepting any marriage proposals which are brought by you, he is not even showing any interest on marriage and whenever he come to give business reports he can’t resist himself taking Bonditha’s name. ( Sumati is surprised infact highly impressed that Anirudh is not interested in marrying any other person, all her doubts got cleared at that moment) So we should not keep anger on Sumatiji and her family. In fact only Bonditha can keep Anirudh happy. See now, slowly she is going to join in college and will create her identity. I have full confidence that they are made for each other
Catherine learnt about their details in Binoy’s presence and has given good hospitality. Just then their manager came and told about their business problem regarding sales. Tapur listened it and immediately gave a wonderful advice in English Language. Binoy is highly Impressed with her spontaneous, tremendous idea and great exposure in business field. She told that it is because of her Bonditha didi motivation she came to this position and able to manage business. Binoy and Catherine couldn’t control themselves praising Tapur, he recollected his younger son Bhatuk whom he wants to bring in business but he is not studying properly in Italy,.
Later Catherine taunted Binoy “Still do you have anger on Bonditha?” Binoy replied that “No, by seeing my son living alone, I couldn’t control my anger. I don’t mean to hurt anyone.” Sumati replied that “I can only see love towards your son , I don’t have any anger on anyone .”
After a while, they both took leave and Binoy insisted them to go in his car, gave instructions to driver.
When they left he kept on praising Tapur for her intelligence, Catherine joked that if he wants to make her also his bahu and wife of Bhatuk. Binoy gave a slight smile thinking of their alliance 😃
Gagan and Bondita went searching for Anirudh.
Anirudh who is in isolated place attacked by Chandrachur aide and he is hiding in back . Anirudh tried to defend himself by beating them with his sticks, but Chandrachur aide came up with a horrible plan.
He had created a woman idol and tied it with Bondita saree. He implemented his complete plan through his aide, who threatened Anirudh that if he try to move from there, he and his henchmen will molest Bondita. Anirudh fiercely replied that you cannot threaten her as she know how to handle toughest situation.
But his aide laughed out cunningly and told that her mouth is also tied with rope that if she moved, we will kill you, to make Anirudh believe that Bondita is there they stated mocking her by catching her pallu "Listen Bondita! Don't you want this ARC to survive or you want him to die." ( they are threatening to make him believe that she is really there).
Anirudh is shouting “Bonditha, don’t worry about me, gain the courage in your hands. Try hard to remove the rope,..come on Bonditha,..you can do it. Don’t think of me,..please!” on the other side the henchmen are hitting him on his legs.
With much difficult he defended himself, about to go near Bondita but suddenly stabbed by Chandrachur (obviously who is in disguise with beard)
Meanwhile Gagan, Bondita along with police team are searching and found his car nearby and Started searching for him. Chandrachur who is about to hit on his head with a heavy stone left the place hurriedly as one of his henchmen already received Gagan bullet.
Bondita is shattered to see him being stabbed. She had tied his wound on waist with her saree pallu or Anchal and kept some mud.
They took him to the hospital near by and doctors started treatment. Bondita is praying to Durga maa to protect her sakha babu, weeping to the core.
Binoy , Catherine reached there as they got information from office. Later Sumati, Tapur and Chandrachur also reached there. Doctors had done operation came out and told that he is in critical condition, will take 2 days to know if he will survive or not.
Everyone including Bonditha are dejected to learn it, while Chandrachur is giving wicked smiles,😈😈
Bonditha doesn’t want to leave him and come back to home with her mother. Sumati is feeling ackward that her daughter is not in a state to observe that she is forgetting her limits and sat with Anirudh by holding his hand, embracing his hand, giving courage that he will recover soon. She decided to drag her out, but Catherine requested that she will assure Bonditha’s safety and will make sure that this matter will not go out, but for the sake of humanity please allow Bonditha to stay with Anirudh, by tomorrow Sampoorna will also reach here. Tapur and Gagan also requested them that at this stage Anirudh requires his friend. With much difficulty she agreed and Gagan dropped Sumati, Tapur to home. (As soon as Gagan came Chandrachur slipped from there).
Chandrachur is extremely happy that his plan will work, Anirudh will die soon and he will marry or force Bonditha.
Bonditha on the other side praying Durga maa to save her sakha babu Trilochan and Sampoorna came ( koyli taking care of her kids). Trilochan at first got angry on seeing bondita ( who didn’t see him, kept on praying by closing eyes) that why she came back as she too gave her consent in annulling marriage and went away, Catherine replied that because Bonditha has done first aid by tying her saree pallu to his waist and covered with mud, some problem is reduced. sampoorna revealed that she loves Anirudh a lot, she only thinks of him. It is only a matter of time. Catherine is delighted to know Bonditha’s feelings, took her aside and asked Sampoorna if it is true, to which latter replied confidently yes, Bonditha loves Anirudh.
Sumati failed to bring Bondita back to home. Whereas in home chandrachur is furiated and venting out his frustration on sumati that she is not at all controlling her daughter, leaving her as if this is a foreign country, or is Bondita not her own daughter. Sumati about to raise hand on Chandrachur but Kalindi also gave her support to him and asked what if society say this to her. Now this time it is not the matter of education, women's work, revolution. It is the matter of your daughter's respect in society. If they are husband and wife, I personally will suggest her to become savitri to save her husband from death. But as of now, she is an outsider to him.
After 2 days of heavy tension, he regained consciousness but unable to move his legs. Doctors in presence of Anirudh declared that he is safe, but his legs are injured badly, cannot move in his own. They told that If they wish they can go for Ayurvedic treatment, will discharge after few hours.
Everyone are dejected to learn this, but Anirudh is elated to know that Bondita is safe, and is thinking that who had tricked him, who wants to attack me by using bondita's name.
Trilochan told that Somnath went to foreign country as British officials had essential him for training else he would have been a great help in this difficult time. Still he decided to bring him back for Anirudh, but Binoy, Catherine suggested that they will take Sumati help, as Anirudh also respects her a lot.
Sumati has already learnt Ayurvedic treatment from her late husband observed his legs and suggested some leaves for it and a person should be there with Anirudh to do his continuous service.
Catherine, sampoorna are embarrassed to do his works. Also catherine has got her heavy bleeding problem, so she need to rest. Sampoorna although treats him like his brother still cannot personally attend all works. Trilochan, Binoy couldn't force them much to do Anirudh's personal works.They both brothers kept their prestige, pride aside and decided to do his works on shifts, took him to home in Calcutta besides Bondita's house and started taking care of him.
When Bondita returned home after 2 days, Kalindi reprimanded her to the core that she has turned into such a shameless girl, having no manners. What will society tell her if she spent completely 2 days outside her home.she is no more in a good mood to listen, bursted on her Thakuma that let society thinking go to hell, but I want my sakha babu to be safe.They mockingly asked Sumati " will you support your daughter now also?"
Sumati forcibly went into Bondita's room and lashed on her behaviour that " I too have respect and concern towards Anirudh babu, that doesn't mean that you will forget your limits and embrace a man infront of all. Even A wife doesn't do this infront of everyone. Don't you have shame to do this?
Listen Bondita! After I have started working I am adjusting to the new changes and trying to understand your generation. At the same time, you should also obey elders. Else I won't forgive you easily." Bondita kept silent at that time as she is not completely wrong, her mother's treatment is necessary for him .
Later Tapur came to her room silently and told that they met Binoy catherine on the day of accident and told their conversation. Bondita is highly delighted that her sakhababu didn't have plans to marry another girl. She couldn't stop blushing , but suddenly recollected his state and became sad. Tapur didn't understand her sister's changing feelings for every minute.
Tapur also told what elders spoke and seems that Binoy, Catherine and Sumati have no anger on both of you. So please carefully handle the situation else all elders will be against you both. She nodded happily.
Unfortunately Trilochan and Binoy had to leave for Tulsipur quickly as they got an issue with British Viceroy General regarding their lands. If they don't go they will land in big trouble. Bondita learnt about it while sneaking near their common wall, immediately came up with a plan and requested Catherine help.
Sampoorna also heard it, they told that it is not so easy for her to do these odd jobs. Only mother and wife can do this for a man, also Anirudh will easily identify you. Bondita is so determined that she doesn't want to step back requested with folded hands that she can do this if they both co-operate with her, also told "My sakha babu has done a lot to me, he didn't ill treat me when I have bed wetting problem till 12 years age. He didn't belittle me when I got periods. This is nothing infront of his affection towards me. please let me do this for him"
With much difficult, they agreed with her. Next day, Chandrachur actually planned to get her in his control by force and became fool as she is not in her room and found a letter.
She kept a letter in her room to her mother stating that she is going to important pilgrimages to pray for her sakha babu’s long life. She doesn’t want to hurt her mother but he is also equally Important for her. Will be back soon. She also kept a swear on her that she should treat her sakhababu and not to show any anger on him. Sumati read the letter and quiet upset. (Tapur, Catherine and Sampoorna know her plan). Chandrachur and Kalindi are highly irked with her unexpected disappearance from home.
Soon Bondita is disguised as Jyothi who is migrated from other state as a daily labor and covered her face with pallu. Catherine introduced Jyoti as her own person whom she know from many years requested Trilochan, Binoy to keep her as care taker for Anirudh.
They raised objection that she is a woman and how can she take care of grown up man, will her husband not say a word about it.
Bonditha told something in Catherine ears, they didn’t understand it. Catherine explained that as per their tradition, Jyothi is doing penance for her husband’s long live, she will only speak with her husband and other women, not to any outsider man. She will treat other men except her husband as her children only. If necessary she will also do service to her husband as her child.
They got suspicious by looking at her tender hands and feet that she look too young, but catherine covered it cleverly not to see her like that else if anyone sees her face or want to suspect her dedication , her penance to show her face to only her husband will be spoiled .It will show bad affect on us also.
Trilochan quickly believed her, took Jyothi to Anirudh and introduced her. He got suspicious by looking at her. They explained her condition to him, he shouted initially that he didn’t want her to do service to him at any cost, asked her to leave immediately.
But she immediately took a paper and written with left hand with bad handwriting that you don’t want woman to work and earn bread for her family. You are so narrow minded.
This triggered him and told that no I am not narrow minded. Ok , you can stay here and take care of my needs, she smiled inside her pallu thinking that “I know how to handle you” other ladies also grinned at Bonditha’s common sense.
Trilochan raised his doubt that how can she write Hindi as she is from other state and asked if she allowed to study in her home. Bonditha signaled Catherine, to which latter told “I only taught her as she is a maid, basic education is required else she will be deceived by men in society.” they got convinced.
Just then Sumati came with leaves, Bonditha got tensed. They introduced Bonditha as Jyothi to Sumati, Anirudh asked Jyothi to show her face to Sumati maa. They got tensed. But Sampoorna cleverly managed and told Anirudh “Peshi came to give you medicines which should be given on time, so don’t waste her time and she should also go to office.”
Sumati immediately instructed Bonditha (thinking her as Jyoti) to prepare lep with the herbs given and apply massage to his legs, also gave some oil. Bonditha silently nodded and Tapur called her immediately that we should leave for office.
Before leaving, Anirudh asked Sumati about Bonditha. She reluctantly replied that 'she went to a pilgrimage without informing me but wrote a letter that she want to pray for your long life.'
Trilochan is highly impressed with this. Anirudh is worried if she lands in any danger, asked Catherine to bring telephone to call Gagan.
He asked Sumati ‘Are you angry on her that she stayed in hospital for 2 days, please forgive her I apologize you on her behalf (he folded hands infront of Sumati) I will get her back through Gagan’s help’. Sumati looked at him surprised and didn’t say anything. It is better to say that she couldn't hold anger on anyone for long time.
Tapur hurried Sumati to leave for office and they left smiling secretly to Bonditha.
Trilochan gave all precautions to Jyothi to take care of Anirudh like a child, if he recovers quickly she will be rewarded. Bonditha thought in mind that recovery of her sakhababu is the biggest reward and She doesn’t need anything. She simply nodded for all he said.
Catherine and Sampoorna also stayed with Anirudh with kids and Bihari to take care of all their needs.
After a while, Gagan came to Anirudh and they discussed about attack. Initially Gagan rebuked on Anirudh’s impulsive nature that ‘when he got information about Bonditha why didn’t you call me . Bonditha is more clever than you her common sense has worked at emergency time and made a call to me.’
Anirudh apologized and told that “My mind and heartbeat stopped worKing when I heard such kind of news. I couldn’t think of anything at that time. Yes, I agree Bonditha is more clever than me. someone used Bonditha’s name, her Saree tied to idol or to any other woman to attack me. That person might know how much I am attached to her, used my weakness as weapon to kill me. Also please find where is Bonditha, she has gone to pilgrimage to pray for me. Please find her. I am worried about her,”
Gagan concluded that may be a close person who is well aware of you both have attacked you, it is definitely a personal rivalry but not due to professional rivalry. Also the person Surya is missing in this street since he took you to attack.He also promised that he will find about Bonditha’s whereabouts.
Both Anirudh and Bonditha are in thoughts who could have done this, she also decided to decode this mystery as there might be many chances to attack sakha babu again.
Later she applied lep to his legs and massaged him. He is feeling nostalgic, impatient and asked her to stop, thinking why am I feeling this woman as most familiar to him . He asked her “who are you?” She is worried.
The promo was a perfect prompt for me to write something in my ishtyle! ...
