Satya Narayan Pooja was finished. Anirudh and Bondita were all set to depart for Devipur along with Chavi.

"Arre Som! Sarubh aur Sampoorna nahi aaye abb tak?", asked Anirudh to Som.

"Dada woh Saurabh Dada pehle hi nikal gaye hain Devipur ke liye", replied Som.

"Accha! Thik hai koi baat nahi. Wahan jaake waise bhi milna hi hai hume", said Anirudh with a smile.

"Mmm..Kaka! Mein bhi Devipur jaa raha hoon", said Som looking down in nervosness. Chavi chuckled looking at him.

"Kyun? Tum kyun jaa rahe ho?", asked Trilochan.

"Kaka woh wahan par Dr. Banerjee rehte hain. Toh mujhe unse kuch kaam hai", replied Som.

"Thik hai phir. Jaao", agreed Kaka. Som's eyes lit up and he bent down to touch Trilochan's feet.

"Arre! Han han! Utho! Khush raho", blessed Kaka.

"Chalein?", asked Bondita coming out out of the haveli wearing a dark blue banarasi saree.

"Han chalo! Kaka, hum nikalte hain", saying this Anirudh and Bondita bent down to take Trilochan's blessings.

"Arre arre utho! Khush raho! Durga Maa kare tumhaara safar suhaana ho", blessed Trilochan smilingly.

Som adjusted himseif in the driver's seat and Chavi took the passenger seat. While Anirudh and Bondita settled in the back seat.

"Chalein Dada?", asked Som.

"Han chalo", said Anirudh starting their journey.

On the whole way, Som and Chavi kept on their bantering. While Anirudh and Bondita kept themselves busy admiring the nature. Sometimes, they steal glance from each other, but were not conversing. Well, as said, gestures are enough in love.

Som wanted Anirudh and Bondita to open up. He sighed and looked towards Chavi. She winked at him smiling. Som nodded his head and sang.

Yunhi kat jaayega
Safar saath chalane se
Ki manzil aayegi
Nazar saath chalane se
Yunhi kat jaayega
Safar saath chalane se
Ki manzil aayegi
Nazar saath chalane se


Chavi too joined Som.

Yunhi kat jaayega

Safar saath chalane se

Ki manzil aayegi

Nazar saath chalane se

Laa la la laa la

They have been driving for one hour. So they decided to stop near a river and give some rest to the engine. Chavi got down and pulled Bondita.They went in the direction where children were playing. Som and Anirudh too followed them.

Som sang.

Hum hain raahi pyar ke

Chalana apana kaam

The children repeated after him.
