(earlier days some teachers used to be harsh towards the students. Their teaching techniques were painful. There was no such law like now and many children used to suffer a lot)
Bondita's pov I was tensed when Pati babu announced the surprise oral test.
Honestly, I haven't read a single line till now and I know I will fail miserably. How was scared as to how to face his furry.
I wasn't playing all day. I had work, I am the bari bahu of Roy Chowdhury. I had to cook, fold Pati babu's clothes n keep them in my wardrobe, do Arti, clean my room then manage the study.
But these are all excuses for him. Batuk came out of the room with a wide smile. It was evident that his test went well.
"Bondita!"
