Today’s episode starts with Thakuma saw Anirudh in Bondita’s room at late night.
Thakuma- Anirudh jamai babu what are you doing here at this time?
Anirudh- Thakuma I want to talk to Bondita. So…
Thakuma- Why you came by hiding? We didn’t stop you two from meeting. People hide when they are wrong.
Anirudh- Thakuma my intentions were not wrong, I just didn’t want to disturb you all.
Thakuma- We know your intentions were not wrong but who will answer society?
Anirudh- Society? Really?🙄 Have I ever cared about society?
Thakuma- But I do still. Yeah it’s true now I too want to break some rules… But only some. Every rule is not wrong. I have to get Tapur married too. What if…
Anirudh- Thakuma you too agree that some rules should be changed. Then what is the problem if we meet?
Thakuma- Problem is that not every man thinks like you. (She shouts) Society will point finger on girls only…I suffered (she told with heavy heart)
Anirudh- Very soon everyone will think like me.
Thakuma- I am waiting for that day. So if your conversation is over then I think you should go now. Tomorrow is a special day.
(Anirudh nods looking at Bondita.) And from next time come through door (she said with a smile)
Anirudh and Bondita shy.

Anirudh- Kaka what happened?
Ksj- You didn’t get ready yet? We have to go…
Anirudh- Kaka kaka Kaka… calm calm. Still we have one hours for muhurat.
Sampoorna- That’s what I am saying jeth ji. And Pandit ji didn’t come yet.
Ksj- I have sent Somnath to bring Pandit ji. He will come anytime. Go go you get ready.(He said with excitement)
Anirudh- Kaka this is my marriage and you are dancing with excitement…(He told by keeping his hands on his waist)
Ksj- Because I can’t wait for my bahu ko enter my house. My Bondita bahu…(He started to recall old days)
Bihari- Malik… Pandit ji came.
Ksj- What? See see… now we will be late for sure.
Sampoorna- Jeth ji don’t worry everything will be on time.
Ksj nods and goes to meet Pandit ji. Anirudh goes to get ready.
.
IN DAS HAVELI…(after some time)
Thakuma- (To one servent) You guys arranged everything well? Make sure everything is perfect. Go and check once again. They will come very soon…
Ksj- No we will not come because we came already (he laughed)
Thakuma- Come Come.
(All greet each other but Anirudh is looking for another thing)
Sampoorna- Thakuma where is our would be bahu? A pair of eyes are dying (She giggles).
Anirudh- (He gets alert…and shies) No no Sampoorna maa… nothing is like this.
Sampoorna- But I was talking about myself. Why you are clarifying? (She teases Anirudh)
He blushes….
Thakuma- Tupur, Tapur… Bring Bondita.
.
Anirudh gets mesmerized seeing Bondita. She have worn a pink banarasi saree with simple jewellery. She is shining like Moon came in earth. Her eyes are literally like night sky. Her smile… it’s the most adorable things he has ever seen. Beauty of her heart is reflected completely by her gesture.
He comes out from his dream land when Bondita came to touch Ksj’s feet who is sitting beside Anirudh.
Ksj keeps his hand on Bondita’s head and blessed her to stay happy always.
Ksj- Pandit ji now tell how my Bahu is. I told you will be surprised.
Pandit ji- Yeah she stayed in London but she has good sanskar. I blessed her. Their pair will be perfect. God has made them for each other.
They all smile with happiness.
Pandit ji told them about the dates for different wedding functions. Their marriage date got fixed with consent of both families.
Sampoorna applies tilak to Anirudh and Bondita.
After it two families make each other eat sweets.
.
.
(Guys in West Bengal the date fixing ceremony is called “ADANPRADAN” in this day two families in presence of priest and bride-groom fix dates for different functions like Ashirwad (Tilak), Aiburo bhat (Last meal as unmarried), Haldi etc…)
After some formalities two families exchange some gifts to make this day more memorable.
