They were on opposing sides but still worked together for the good of their clients.
Time is passing by and Anirudh Bondita children are growing up fast. Birinchi and Sarada have passed away one after another in gap of 2-3 years due to health issues when Poornima has reached 10 years of age. Anirudh Bondita both promised once again to old couple that their granddaughters are their daughters and need not worry about them. Like Anirudh taught Bondita good touch, bad touch and self defence techniques the same they both taught to all children. He made sure that their boys respect their sisters, all women and be protective of them taught how to think with sensitivity and delicacy in girls things. They also taught their girls to be strong, independent in all matters. But still receiving and learning things varies from one child to another.
________________________
Poornima:
Poornima is calm, matured and behaves as responsible elder sister to all her siblings and responsible eldest daughter to her parents. She is good in her studies and learnt classical music. She vaguely remembers her past how Anirudh rescued her and her Little sister because it comes in her dreams regularly and she also listened on one night when Birinchi and Sarada are speaking among themselves secretly because Anirudh Bondita doesn't want the girls especially Poornima to remember that they are not her own biological parents. Still she learnt the secret and has the gratitude towards them in her heart but never expressed it infront of them or anyone because they may become upset. She kept quiet until one situation from Shorbari pressurised her to reveal the secret.
Whenever Poornima faces any problem her siblings especially her brothers come to her rescue and doesn't bother even if they got injured and she used to save them from parents' wrath whenever they are in trouble. Because Anirudh Bondita believed that she behaves matured and wise enough to guide her siblings.
Poornima completed M.com with Chartered Accountancy course and had a good profession along with stage performances of classical music sometimes. When she got good name and earnings as a classic singer her paternal grandparents, ChaCha chachi who abandoned her and Shorbari came in search of both of their sisters. But she reprimanded them,shown their true place that they are nothing in their lives and asked them to leave. But none of them expected that they have manipulated Shorbari well and played with her emotions for some time. Later she had shown the true colours of their grandparents and ChaCha chachi to Shorbari but still latter is already highly influenced by her own selfish blood(y) relatives and went away with them. To get her come out of their clutches, she hatched a plan with her brothers and Vidya and got succeeded and taught a hard hitting lesson to her own sister Shorbari.
Anirudh Bondita jointly selected Preetam (Bank Auditor) as groom for Poornima who came from a hard working , genuine family who respects all relationships, women. She also gave her consent and both Anirudh, Bondita got their marriage done in her final year PG course holidays. Later after 2 years they have Amor, Pallavi as their children.. They settled in Puna of Maharashtra but used to pay regular visits to Anirudh Bondita.
_______________________________________________
Shorbari:
Shorbari is very stubborn girl and Anirudh Bondita cleverly turned this nature to work hard in studies and hobbies to achieve heights of success. Initially her academic performance is very good in studies upto her 12-13 years age but later her interest is gradually reduced, shown negligence in her studies but very good at classical dance which she never failed and attended classes regularly. Because of Anirudh's insistence she hardly by hearts the syllabus before exams and just gather around 60,-70% in last minute preparations. But she is good at chemistry subject initially which she intentionally started neglecting it and diverting her mind in teenage.
Anirudh Bondita always tried to explain that if she keeps her interest and show passion then she will become topper in studies along with dance practice and performances why can't she understand it. If she is really poor in studies they won't get this much upset. But she intentionally neglecting it is not tolerated by them. But Shorbari always felt bore of her parents lectures. They also tried to explain in different ways by putting themselves in her shoes, like explaining all the topics with practical examples, making syllabus easy to remember. Still her interest is not so good in studies then Bondita only convinced Anirudh that let it be we can't expect same academic performance from all children equally, moreover studies won't be attained if we forcefully try to put in her head . Anirudh with heavy heart just nodded but both have dissatisfaction with her, still hardly controlling it and they started encouraging her for dance performances and more learning towards all kinds of classical dances (Kathak, odisi, kuchipudi).
Her performances had got excellent response and at one stage nearly at 13-14 years of age she became quite busy with her performances. But she used to get irked on one point that they used to agree in giving dates of Shorbari to charitable organisations at free of cost and used to reject the organisations which they used to offer heavy amounts (Fact is they want commercial agreement and can make her stoop low for paying her remuneration which they are not ready at any cost, Shorbari felt that they are not practical and always run for charities and Cannot understand how to make good earnings )They both are happy for Shorbari getting good fame as classic dancer
At that stage her grandparents, Chacha chachi came into their lives to claim their granddaughters.
Poornima (18) had bursted on them reprimanded them that they came now after many years and what happened to their live when they tried to get her married at 4 years of age and asked them to leave.
Shorbari also shattered to learn that Anirudh Bondita are not their biological parents and felt very sad, guilty for troubling them .
But they cleverly met Shorbari (14) once secretly and instigated her that Anirudh Bondita have not done any favour by adopting both of them infact they are snatching the amount of both of their sisters earnings of stage performances and diverting the amounts for their own biological children. First time she rebuked on them, but they didn't stop and cleverly shown once Bondita taking money for her dance performances but giving her very less pocket money for her personal expenses and shown buying costly books for Nitish. The fact is they both kept Poornima, Shorbari hard earned money separately in banks and never used it, they decided to handover the amount once they are grown up. They have bought books for Nitish with their (Anirudh Bondita) money and this had been misunderstood by Shorbari.
She too came into their words because she felt suffocated of Anirudh Bondita parenting as she is highly influenced by her Thakurda, Thakuma.
In that stage only she at the age of 15 years had created an infatuation towards one of their relative from their side and her Thakurda promised her that he would get her married with her boyfriend if she leaves Anirudh's family and come back to them and should also ask her savings back.
Shorbari under their influence had revealed that she is in love with a guy Uttam and wants to marry him. Anirudh without losing patience tried to explain that this age is not for getting married but to study. Shorbari also told that as per law (it is 1950s period and eligibility of girls marriage age is 15 years) she is eligible, but Bondita countered that as per her state of mind she is not eligible, she started her monthly cycles 2 years before only, her body goes through various changes, she can't get married at this tender age, she needs to complete her education, build her personality, cross atleast 18-19 years of age.
Shorbari revolted on Anirudh Bondita, Trilochan Binoy and Catherine and blamed them that they are stopping her using her for her hard earned money and had done no favour. Everyone are bewildered to listen this from her. Nitish Saketh have lost their cool and about to revert but she stopped them and insulted them that they are not her brothers infact she had her own brother (chacha son) so there is no need of them for her , just then Poornima slapped her for 2-3 times hardly and revealed everything how their baba (Anirudh) had adopted at the time when I am about to get married at 4 years age and she being 6 months Is left mercilessly in cradle without having milk. Later she also told how Bondita adjusted her milk and gave a share to her along with her triplets.
Anirudh Bondita are bewildered to learn that Shorbari is thinking ill of them, perceiving them as selfish commercial oriented parents and Poornima also learnt about the truth and became shattered.
Anirudh used to pamper his daughters more and always used to think that they are sensitive and had good understanding nature. If this revolt came from Nitish or Saketh he wouldn't have bothered much but it came from one of his dearest daughter which he is unable to take. Bondita also never thought her separate from her biological children. At that moment both of them left their courage and became lifeless.
Shorbari didn't relent and told her sister that 'yes they have done favour to us but they are now showing their dictatorship, domination they are always at back of me to study, Study, attain a degree along with dance and also used my earnings, she revealed how Bondita took remuneration amount and giving less pocket money and buying costly books for Nitish.
All her words are breaking everyone's heart but still she continued..
'Now I want to marry the guy Uttam of her grandpa's side relative If they give back her money then she want to go back to them.'
Binoy couldn't take it anymore and gave all the amount immediately and asked her to leave because of her, all the elders (Trilochan, Himself and Catherine, Shomik Rimjhim) and remaining children are unable to see Anirudh Bondita getting shattered and breaking in their hearts
She also took it and despite of everyone requesting her not to leave the house but she didn't relent Nd went back to her grandparents and started living with them . They also felt happy as if a hen laying golden eggs came into their premises and all their financial problems will be solved especially they want to use her money for their grandson education and clearing their debts .
They gave her separate room with full facilities, cleverly snatched her amount, accepting the offers of money oriented organizations who used to ogle at her and gave dates. This had been learnt by remaining siblings (Poornima, Vidya, Nitish and Saketh) they also learnt from Bondita the purpose for not accepting their offers and befor her dance performances start they all decided to teach her a lesson at any cost.
They hatched a plan and took some harmless chemical herb from Shomik Dadu and mixed in her food by giving bribes to the servants of her grandparents house and it created rashes on Shorbari complete body. They bribed the servants and made her have vomittings indigestion all the time. They brought a doctor and he is also bribed by Poornima and co (servants revealed which doctor they are about to bring). Her dates got cancelled because of this and the organisation has reprimanded her to the core and forcedly took back the advance amount.
She has got uncontrolled vomittings all the day. Unable to take anything to eat. Her so called Thakurda, Thakuma, Chacha, chachi cousin brother humiliated her for the unhealth, snatched her separate room facilities and made her sleep in frontyard by giving her an old cot which is quite uncomfortable and asked her to use isolated washrooms in their backyard not to come inside and spoil the hygeine of house. Shorbari felt so bad and started realising their true colours. When she tried to answer them they also countered that they are not Anirudh Bondita to spare her for everything.
Her boyfriend Uttam had come with his family to meet her and initially she felt happy that her boyfriend is worried for her. But she vomitting all the day created a doubt in his mother's mind that if she is loose charactered and got pregnant. When his mother expressed her doubt, Uttam without having another thought kept on asking her, forcing her with abusive words to say if she is having any affair. She actually is too young doesn't even have the complete Knowledge on sex and she got scared to see her boyfriend eyes turning red and his mother insulting Her.
Poornima and co have already been observing her and at that moment they informed Anirudh Bondita about her ill treatment in her grandparents house. Without wasting any moment they both reached there and at that moment they listened to Uttam and his mother kept on asking most disgusting questions like who is that person, what did he do, where did he touch you, how many times it happened.
Just then they both entered the house and Bondita slapped Uttam mother for humiliating and making character assassination of Shorbari. Later they had seen that near her vomitting is there and everyone are closing their noses and standing isolated from her but no one are going near her and helping her.
Anirudh started Cleaning the mess by taking the broom stick and Bondita, Vidya hold each side of Shorbari took her to clean her and give her bath and change her clothes. Later Bondita forcedly stormed into kitchen made some buttermilk despite of her chachi warnings and made her daughter have it. Anirudh have cleaned everything and made her cot in her bedroom neat and hygeinic with another bedsheet. He called Shomik to come and give treatment and he has given proper medicines to reduce the affects of chemical drug. Before leaving he indirectly taunted Shorbari of he had chance he could have given medicine to her mind to see properly that who are her well wishers.
Anirudh told infront of Shorbari and everyone that he will buy this house for her and keep servants to look after her Because they came to conclusion that Shorbari won't come with them, he too didn't want to force his daughter and went near Uttam and his family, started convincing him and speaking softly with Uttam requesting him not to doubt Shorbari as she is naive and pure.
Shorbari understood who are her real well-wishers and her father Anirudh Roy Chowdhary who is a powerful man in Entire Bengal state is now requesting a worthless fellow who even doesn't have audacity to stand near her father's feet. Uttam and his family is showing attitude and asking him to give Shorbari share in their Roy Chowdhary property. She couldn't take anymore and slapped Uttam and asked them to get out. Later she fell at her parents feet to forgive her.
They both lifted her up and consoled her and took her to home. Before leaving she reprimanded her grandparents that if they are really at back of her money they could have asked it but why should they spoil her mind tainted her character played with her fluctuating age and threatened them not to show their faces again and left. They also went back to their house fuming that their future plans got spoiled .
But this hard hitting lesson has given Shorbari a biggest shock and changed her thinking completely. Later when she reached her home back, Catherine told that her parents have saved her and her sister's money separately and they have planned to give it when you both are grownup if they are so money minded then both sisters couldn't have good life and will be begging or may have left the world and she felt like stabbed in her heart.
It took much time for everyone to forget this but still slowly recovered. She started taking her studies also seriously and later joined in B.Sc Chemistry and involved in her research work. But she became too calm suffering with too much guilty but slowly cheered up by her parents and they suggested that life has to move on , we everyone will do mistakes and greatness Is raising up after Falling down and learning from mistakes. After poornima got Married and when she came into her final year alliances are coming for her also but many of them are rejecting learning about her past
Anirudh Bondita asked if she have anyone in her life or still interested in Uttam. She Clearly told that she doesn't have anyone she will get married to the person selected by her parents and she doesn't want to go away from them, wants to stay near to them.
But Shorbari having interest on Uttam in her teenage had created hindrance in getting good alliances and this had shown impact on Vidya alliances too.
Vidya got her alliance spoiled due to Shorbari infatuation but still Vidya supported her sister only and broken up with the guy.
Bondita once met Shorbari schoolmate Susheel, an orphan who is now working in Bangal khabar office . She had went to his house as Anirudh had asked her to give office files to susheel as he is going on an important meeting and she saw Shorbari photo in Susheel house. She confronted him and he revealed that once he had proposed her in 15 years age and due to her infatuation on Uttam Shorbari rejected him .
He still kept her photo and Bondita immediately asked him if he is still in love with her. He too frankly said yes . Then she made a call to Anirudh and asked him to come to Susheel house after his meeting is done. Later Anirudh came and learnt everything..
They asked him to give sometime and spoke with Shorbari. Later they both arranged Shorbari Susheel meeting and they spoke their heart out and decided to get married. Anirudh Bondita also agreed and got their marriage done.
They had a daughter Chandana and had a happy family. Susheel took charge of Bagal khabar and started running the paper with ethics and morals when Anirudh became old.

Vidya:
Vidya has qualities of both mother and father. She will shout loudly and throw things in anger and gives loudspeaker sessions whenever she see wrong, injustice infront of them. She is very protective of her sisters and even sometimes used to save her brothers also. She's perfect in studies and always gets top marks.
She and her brothers, Shorbari are always in same class because they are of same age group. Sometimes she used to do her sister homeworks when she started deviating from studies.. she used to get scoldings from her parents that her help will turn her sister too lazy..
She is shattered when she learnt that Poornima and Shorbari are not her real sisters but remembered that from her parents teachings and stories in her childhood that there is no point of own blood related and distance related in true relationships and bonding. So it didn't hurt her much. But what she got hurt is Shorbari berating them and going away..
When Shorbari returns back she tried to befriend with her and tried her level best to bring her out of trauma because poornima couldn't forgive her so easily. Saketh also left for foreign country for higher studies So Vidya and Nitish only took major part after her parents to bring Shorbari out of trauma.
Vidya also wants to pursue law degree like her parents and joined the course. Her senior Pankaj who got attracted to Vidya personality proposed her in second year. Remembering Shorbari getting failed in her love and how her parents selected Preetam , a gem of person for her Poornima sister so she decided to take the consent of her parents. She went and informed her parents about this They also spoke with him and his family. Everything is fine and his parents urged Anirudh Bondita to fix marriage soon.
But they told that let her complete her course and in final year they shall fix it and moreover how much they don't bother some won't leave so easily. Because after marriage what if her studies are stopped is the major issue. When they are in this dilemma Pankaj family learnt about Shorbari matter and cleverly demanded dowry indirectly.
Before Anirudh Bondita answer them only Vidya stormed there and firmly told that her parents won't give dowry at any cost directly or indirectly, because that is an insult to Pankaj also. If he is in need he can apply for any loan but not to force her parents. Moreover her sister is not at fault. This created a ruckus and Pankaj also blamed Vidya , he threatened that her sister has blemished her own life if she also break this match she may not get alliance In future, but Vidya dammn care about it . She asked d them to leave and they left blaming her that she is making fun of him and called off wedding.
Shorbari felt sad that due to her everyone are suffering and it is now affecting he sister's life. She decided to leave secretly but Vidya very well knew of her stopped when she is leaving and brought her back. She told that she would have called off her wedding or probably broke up with Pankaj even after her wedding because he is not a suitable guy for her. It is better that he had shown his true colours before marriage.
Later in her final year course she worked with Deepak her boss who is also a barrister and a hard working guy. He had blisters on his face and body. It is because in his childhood his father set his mother ablaze and to rescue her he got these blisters. He had passed through a traumatic childhood but somehow recovered and now like Anirudh he also worked for welfare of women and used to serve justice to women, poor people but never show off . He admired Vidya character and slowly they both fell In love and informed Anirudh Bondita.
Vidya and Deepak got married alongwith Shorbari and Susheel at same muhrat. After marriage Vidya made him meet his stepmother family who are in desparate condition and struggling for daily needs. He brought his step mother and her daughter Sagarika from a village and started making her study. His step mother also felt gratitude for both Vidya and Deepak and felt guilty for abandoning him in streets in his childhood. They both couple are practicing as barristers and got Devansh as their son.
______________________
Nitish:
Nitish just looks like his father Anirudh, but resembles his mother's behaviour, he always puts his arguments and had his unique way (like his mother used to speak through coconut shells, dolls) in communicating everyone's problems or his own issues to elders or his parents. He is calm but he thinks logically and uses his brain as per the demand of the situation and he is the main protector (Rakshak babu) for all his siblings. He tries to solve all his siblings problems and From childhood only he dreamt to become barrister.
He learnt piano, flute as extra curricular activities along with his studies. Saketh went to foreign when Shorbari returned back . So he has been away from house and mother land. After all his sisters got married and left he and his parents used to feel so lonely, also in that time their grandparents are also passing away and which added more loneliness. He started practicing his barristry and earned good name.
He didn't think of love but he attended his friend Parth sister Nivedita marriage. His friend introduced groom to him. Nitish felt that groom's looks are on a beautiful girl who is passing by and he felt something fishy. He is in dilemma whether to tell this one to anyone or not and while Muhrat is approaching no one has found where the groom is and the girl is also missing. He got more suspicious and started searching in secluded places of mandap.
He found that groom is forcing a girl by keeping her mouth shut in dark room. When Nitish went inside dark room to rescue her she almost stabbed herself and lost her life
Nitish caught hold of him thrashed him badly and hot him tied and called police. But everyone from both sides tried to calm down Nitish not to go to police let the marriage be done else bride reputation will be lost but he told that if you get him married to the bride her life will be spoiled and made him get arrested. They all berated Nitish for spoiling bride's life and started blaming her fortune. Her father almost collapsed seeing that wedding is called off in last moment. She tried to argue that she is not at fault but no one had pad attention and trying to create commotion.
Generally Nitish won't lose cool but for the first time he lost temper when no one are paying attention to his words that not to insult her , blame her destiny. In a fit of rage he announced that he shall marry her if she is interested.
She too didn't think much didn't say no. He married her there itself without informing his parents and came home by marrying her with garlands.
When they reached home, she is so scared to come inside with him and stood outside the gate. He went inside and Anirudh Bondita are shocked to see that he got married all of a sudden.
Nitish told what all happened in the wedding and they asked where is she. They recalled their wedding in childhood and didn't blame him actually felt proud but only worried if both of their consent is there or not. Especially Nivedita is ok with this marriage or not They both went outside to bring her and she started sobbing thinking that her saas sasur will blame her for marrying their son without informing them or without their permission.
They went outside and seeing her state Bondita embraced her and consoled her. Nivedita is surprised to see it's like a world wonder that if her mother in law behaving softly with her.
Bondita asked if she is interested to come into their house as their bahu.or wants to go back to her parents as this is the unexpected marriage, if she is ok with Nitish or not. Meanwhile Anirudh asked Nitish if he is okay with it because he doesn't want any girl to suffer in unwilling marriage. Anirudh knew that Nitish won't take wrong decisions. Nitish also knew his parents past and told that he will try to develop bonding with her.
Nivedita also gave her consent to Bondita that she doesn't have any problem to be their bahu and as wife to Nitish and Bondita went inside brought aarti plate and done their aarti.
They had welcomed her and all siblings , Somnath family, Bhatuk family and their family close friends got to know of Nitish marriage came for post marriage rituals and everyone gave grand welcome to Nivedita.
Nivedita had done degree in Arts subject and had her interest in writing competitive exams in govt sector and everyone encouraged her in sasural. Within an year she got a job in Govt office and slowly started mingling with everyone in family and felt lucky to have such a good family and started loving her husband Nitish. He also impressed with her and they developed their bond and.moved to next level after 18 months of their marriage.
They had a son and Nitish purposefully gave his father's name Anirudh to his son and later had a daughter Dhanya.
__________________________
Saketh:
Saketh is highly naughty, aggressive and used to gives tough time to everyone from childhood. He doesn't seem that he is paying attention to studies but still he grasps everything. He likes to learn things quickly in practical outside world by doing experiments rather than sitting in classroom and learning theory. In exams he used to give answers in his own style in his physics paper and this created huge problem for him in academics.
School management has created this as biggest problem for him and tried to detain him in higher classes but they didn't give up. They both gathered higher University professors and shown the experiments which he learnt by doing it in outside world and made school management take back their complaint on him. He created a motor for machines which has more capacity than normal motors and he wants to start a small scale business on it. Anirudh Bondita also encouraged him. However he got a seat in top school of foreign University and he went there to pursue higher education and start business from there
He went to foreign after his sister Shorbari returned back from her Paternal grandparents and had been there for several years.he had studied and setup business well in foreign country and returned to India after 6 months of Nitish Marriage. He expanded his business here also.
He had met Deepak step sister Sagarika when he visited their house, fell in love with her , convinced everyone and got her married with his everyone's consent.
Later they also had triplets like their parents- Mahima, Nandan and Rahul.
_______
Somnath Sample also got their children married after they become Doctor (Satish) and Electrical Engineer (Saswati) to Payal, daughter of Mukund who has done graduation and Prahlad who is Somnath colleague son got interested in Saswati.
Bhatuk daughter Sadhana also grown up and became doctor like her Jethu Somnath and she married her senior Bejoy.
Everyone are happy in their lives. Everyone had up and downs but finally everyone had overcome in their methods and attained success.
_______
Anirudh had got an opportunity to work in politics when Shorbari real grandparents fiasco is about to start. But he smoothly rejected for 2 reasons - First reason is because he is famous he can win but the party which is inviting him to join had lot of defects and as a Paper office owner he also knew what kind of atrocities corrupted politicians do at people's back and how his reputation will be spoiled so he didn't show interest. Second reason is that is the crucial time they both are facing as parents, they have to make their children succesful , because if he go into politics entire burden of children will come on Bondita and she has to give up her own career or Barristry practice which she had achieved heights with much hardwork. He can't give her that much burden and moreover spending time with his family and wife will also be reduced. So he politely rejected but continued his social work as much as he can do with Bondita.
They both have guided all their children including their son in laws and daughter in laws in each and every stage for many years. When all their grandchildren had crossed more than 10-15 years Anirudh once got severe stroke and he has been rushed to hospital.. all their children including son in laws and daughter in laws, grandchildren are so worried for them. Unfortunately it turned into cardiac arrest and with much difficult Bondita is allowed into ICU and by looking into her eyes he left his last breath but Bondita didn't leave his hand and sat there looking blank.
Doctors came out and informed his children that he was passed away, everyone are so shattered , felt blank and gloomy in their minds want to hug their mother. But within seconds a nurse rushed to doctor and told that Anirudh's wife is not responding and her body became cool,.Doctors have rushed into ICU Much to their astonishment even she also left her last breath without leaving his hand.
Their children are completely shattered and broken in hospital only. Doctors requested not to create any pathetic situation here so that other patients will get disturbed and all the children with heavy heart they brought both of them to home.
Somnath, Sampoorna and Tapur already passed away in last 4 years. Bhatuk is left and he came running to Calcutta house. Satish Saswati and Sadhana also came with their spouses and children.
It is the saddest news in entire state. The pioneers in all sectors, many politicians and many charitable organisations came to pay last visit to them and many of them participated in final rites.
When returned back Nivedita and Vidya got a letter in their study room which was written long back ago. Perhaps they have realised that one day this kind of situation arises and had written a farewell letters to every child cheering them up and guiding them in their lives.
Bhatuk remained in the house on children's request and cheering them by recollecting with Anirudh Bondita story from how they met in childhood, their struggles, happiness in every stage and making them happy in recollecting their moments. He told them that their parents will become upset if they see them like this and making everyone smile.
