BARRISTER BABU
EPISODE 339-340
The Episode starts with Anirudh getting ready. Anirudh thinks of Bondita. Trilochan comes and asks him to come along. He shows the kids sleeping. He says you got these kids home when I refused, you are their mum and dad now, but its truth that they also had their parents and families, they lost their parents because of the enmity between the villagers, you took this responsibility, whatever your decision, remember you have to do justice with everyone, its not easy to become a king, because a king canât just think of himself, but of everyone, we all have full faith on you. Everyone meets in the panchayat. Thakumaa says remember donât do anything, Chandrachur will handle. Bondita looks on. Trilochan says Anirudh, donât let the past overcome your present and future. Somnath brings the box and says its a proof, how Bondita had put the chemicals inside the box to make Anirudh box, these reports are the proof. Chandrachur says whatâs the proof that Bondita has sent these items, did she come to give this, no. He says they have no proof, but I have a proof, barrister Ghosh is a witness. Ghosh says Bondita canât be in haveli, she was coming to the court to work on a case. Trilochan calls it a lie.
Thakumaa stops Bondita. Sumati says you promised me, you will be quiet. Bondita says I promised that I wonât lie, I will tell the truth, Anirudh is everything for me, my mum is my strength, but Anirudh is my soul, mum gave me birth once, but he gave me a new life again and again, mum taught me walk on the ground, he taught me to fly in the sky, so I will tell the complete truth today. She gets up and says I want to say something, I donât know this barrister, I never worked with him, its true that I went to Roy Choudhary haveli as Vaijanti, I didnât go there as a spy, but to end the enmity, I want to hear Anirudhâs statement, does he think I m a liar or not, does he trust me or not, I want to hear it from him, does he regard me a friend or an enemy. She asks Anirudh to say, does he think his Bondita is a liar, does he think she is a cheater. Trilochan gets angry. He asks her about the box. He says no need to say anything, Anirudh. He scolds her for adding the chemicals in the box. She says I have sent these things and also a letter, I wrote that I m Bondita. Trilochan says enough, she accepted that she had played this conspiracy. She says I have sent these things and wrote the entire truth in the letter, didnât you get it. Chandrachur thinks I had exchanged that letter. Bondita says I m saying the truth, I didnât add any chemical on the things, really. She says we met after 8 years and spent time, we had revived old memories and became friends, was it my spying, tell me. Anirudh turns away.
She says a loved oneâs silence hurts a person the most, your silence has done it today, I have heard your silence, it told me your decision, you also regard me a culprit, your silence is the punishment for me, whatever be the result now, I accept everything. Thakumaa takes her aside and asks what are you saying, take your words back, deny it. Chandrachur says I donât believe that she is a spy, she just came from abroad, I didnât send her as a spy. Bondita says no, I m a spy, because Anirudh thinks so, I m a culprit, because he thinks I m not his friend, but an enemy, I went to Tulsipur with an enmity intention, because Anirudh thinks so, he can punish me anything. Thakumaa asks Mukhiya to stop her. Chandrachur says I will stop this, I wonât let Anirudh ruin her life. Sumati says Bondita isnât such. Mukhiya asks what can I do when she accepted all the blames herself. Panchayat man says the truth is out, Bondita accepted that she is a spy, she is guilty, she had come to Tulsipur to spy, Bondita will be punished. Sumati asks Bondita to think of her. Bondita says I have thought of you, but I m helpless, I have to do what Anirudh says. The man says Roy Choudharyâs will decide about her. The men suggest the punishment. Trilochan shouts no, she had cheated Lord, she had put a hurdle in puja, she has to serve that Lord, she has to become Sanyasini. They all get shocked.
Trilochan says this will be her punishment, Bondita will dedicate herself to Durgamaa, then go away to Kashi, she will become a Daasi and sacrifice everything, she wonât get married, she will never have a family, she will stay there till she dies. Chandrachur says I donât accept this punishment, even Bondita doesnât accept this, you know, this punishment is given when the guilty accepts it. He asks Bondita to deny to this. He says you arenât understanding the meaning of becoming a Sanyasini, refuse to this. Bondita looks at Anirudh. Anirudh thinks deny Bondita, say you will not accept this. Thakumaa and Sumati ask Bondita to refuse. Bondita says I accept. Trilochan says I will ask them to come and pick you. The pandit asks her to sacrifice many things, she has to do a yagya, she has to purify her body and heart to become a Sanyasini. Thakumaa says she wonât do this, if she becomes a Sanyasin, her life will lose all the colours. Bondita says I accept every punishment. Anirudh looks on.
The Episode starts with pandit saying Bondita has to leave now and bear her punishment. Sampoorna says Sumati was happy on your first bidaai, she had tears of happiness, see your Maayka family are crying blood tears. She makes Bondita wear the garlands and chunri. She says you came here as enemy, I shouldnât pity an enemy, Lord shouldnât give such a farewell to anyone. She does the tika. Bondita cries seeing Anirudh. The man says lay the stones in her welcome. Bondita walks on the stones. Anirudh sees her in the mirror. He recalls her words. He stops the jeep. He goes to her. Trilochan comes. Anirudh removes his shoes. He says I m punishing myself. Trilochan asks why. Anirudh says I also made a mistake. Kuch khafa hoonâŠ.plays.. He walks ahead. Bondita cries and follows. Everyone comes to their Tulsipur house.
Trilochan stops her at the door and says our house doors stays shut for our enemies, you canât come in. He asks Bihari to take Bondita to outside ashram, Sanyasins will tell what to do next, till then keep her away. Bondita says I accept even this. Bihari thinks I welcomed her as bahurani, how shall I take her out regarding her an enemy. His wife says get out, there is no place for you here. Bihari scolds his wife. His wife says she is an enemy, she cheated this family. Anirudh hears them. Bihari apologizes to Bondita. He says I canât help you today. He goes.
Sumati says Thakumaa, save my daughter from walking on the thorned path, stop her from going to Kashi, stop her from becoming Sanyasini, her life will be worse than a widowâs life. Thakumaa says what shall I do, she accepted it herself, what shall I do. Tupur thinks its good that she goes to Kashi, then I will get my husbandâs love. Chandrachur says this wonât happen, I promise Bondita will rest in your lap tomorrow and sleep. Thakumaa says we are lucky to get such a son-in-law. Bondita says I heard the path of love is of thorns, I have seen it, but Anirudh chose to walk along, when our paths have changed, its also Anirudhâs decision, but whoever comes in the path of my love, I accept it. She sees Anirudh and thinks of their moments. He thinks of her. She lies to sleep. She hears someoneâs footsteps. She says who has come at this time. The door opens. Bondita sees Bihari and says you here. Bihari asks her to go from here. He says you go very far from here, no one will know about it. She sees Anirudh and says you are making a spy run, you have sent Bihari, right, whatâs thus justice. He says its pity. She says I accept the punishment, not pity. He says it will be tough, it will get more day by day. She says I accept. He says you canât do any adornment or taste any good food, you canât live. She says I accept, why are you worrying for me, I m your enemy, right. He says yes, you are a good enemy, but you are a good barrister, you will do something. They argue.
She says your punishment will end me completely, but I donât care. He recalls her words. She says I m giving my rights to die to you, you listen to me now, you want me to not become Sanyasini, you have to accept that Bondita isnât wrong, I canât run away, you have to say that you trust me, I m your friend, not an enemy or spy. He says lie, its a lie, I wonât say a lie, trust is broken, truth is hidden, cheating is done, culprit isâŠ. She asks who is the culprit. She asks Bihari to go. She says you may have heard the decision, we have to see what gift Anirudh gives to his Bondita. She closes the door.
Its morning, Bihariâs wife splashes water on Bonditaâs face and wakes her up. She says these Sanyasins have come from Kashi, come for the ritual, stop, you have to leave the slippers from now. Bondita says I accept.
She comes and sits in the puja. Pandit says its a tough thing, you have to sacrifice the colours in the first ritual. Anirudh recalls teaching colours to Vaijanti. She says there are many colours for me, all are different, you know love colour is also different. He asks what are you saying. She says pink isnât pink. He says stop it now. She says I love colours a lot. Pandit asks do you accept to leave the colours. Bondita says yes. He says you have to leave the taste, and have just plain food. Anirudh recalls her words.
Bihari says she canât tolerate hunger, she canât live without Rasgullas. She says I accept. He says you have to leave the family, you canât meet anyone. Bihari asks why did you educate her and send her to London, you have turned her future dark. She says I accept. Pandit says one more ritual. Trilochan says wait, we will do it later, we will finish these rituals today. Anirudh sees the Sanyasinâs hand burning. Trilochan sends Somnath. Anirudh asks Somnath to get water, she is a Sanyasini, she wonât say anything. Anirudh says her hand burnt in front of me, she didnât say anything. Somnath says Kaka is calling, come.
Anirudh puts his hand near the flame and feels the burn. Somnath says Anirudh was asking why didnât Sanyasini say anything. Trilochan says Anirudh shouldnât know the last ritual, what will happen with Bondita, this matter should be just between us. Pandit says Bondita has to just wear this colour clothes from today, swear she will live a colourless life from today. Bondita cries. Anirudh thinks refuse Bondita. She says I have a condition, I want Sakha babu to give this colourless saree to me, he made me a barrister, I wanted to wear it from his hands, maybe its not written in my fate, I will wear this colourless saree. She asks Anirudh to complete the ritual.
