"Aur aaj ke star couple hain Anidita!", declared Batuk as the couple stopped their dance.
"Anidita?", asked Som and Chavi, together in confusion.
"Han! Anirudh ka Ani aur Bondita ka Dita! AniDita!", said Batuk with a grin.
"Aap donoke liye bhi hai", teased Batuk with a more wide grin. Som and Chavi raised their brows.
"SomVi!", he said while laughing. Both blushed listening to their shipping name.
"Kya chal raha hai?", asked Anirudh as he and Bondita approached them.
"Kuch nahi! Waise aapka dance bilkul perfect tha", said Chavi.
"Boudi bhook lagi hai", muttered Batuk holding his belly.
"Aaj bhi boudi hi khilaaegi tujhe", scolded Som, making him frown and others laugh.
"Accha thik hai! Chalo kuch kha lete hain", said Bondita, and they went to have food.
Trilochan was called by some villagers. When he came, he saw Maha Pandit and Mukhiya sitting. Tension was clearly visible on their foreheads.
"MahaPanditji! Mukhiyaji! Chintit lag rahe hain aap! Kya baat hai?", asked Trilochan in his polite voice, as he settled in his king chair.
"Ye aap humse pooch rahe hain Zamindaar Babu! Jabki humein aapse ye poochna chahiye!", exclaimed Mukhiyaji.
"Chote Malik ne humaare samaj ke saare niyam tod diye! Pehle uss neech jaat ki ladki se vivah-", Maha Panditji was cut off by Trilochan.
"Neech jaat ki nahi hai woh! Raajsi Das Poribaar ki beti Bondita Das hai!", exclaimed Trilochan in his cold voice.
All sighed listening to him. Of course they can't say anything against the Roy Chaudhurys and the Das Family! Who wants to face death so soon!
"Thik hai! Par abb Chote Malik galati kar rahe hain! Apni patni ko shiksha ka adhikaar deke", said Mukhiyaji.
"Aur nahi toh kya! Aapki hone waali bahu bhi padhi likhi hai! Balki aur padhna chahti hai!", exclaimed a villager.
"Bade Malik! Iss paap ko rokiye! Warna poora gaaon khatre mein pad jayega!", said another villager.
"Aapki bahuon ko dekhke humaare ghar ki bahu betiyaan bhi padhne ki zidd karengi! Tab hum kya karenge?", asked another.
"Aur issi zidd ko saamne laane ke liye Bondita kya! Har ek ladki ka padhna zaroori hai", yelled Anirudh, as he approached the spot with Bondita, Som, Chavi and Batuk. All retreated as they saw their Maliks approaching them.
"Par Chote Malik! Ladkiyaan padh likh kar karengi kya?", yelled one man.
"Ghoom phir kar toh kisiki patni hi banni hai na!", exclaimed another man.
"Yehi hai woh soch! Yehi hai woh soch jisse badalne ke liye ladkiyon ka padhna likhna zaroori hai!", exclaimed Som trying to make them understand.
"Aur ye soch badlega! Humaara desh bhi badlega! Zaroor badlega! Hum akele toh akele hi sahi! Lekin hum soch, aur desh, dono badlenge!", exclaimed Anirudh, a determination clearly visible in his eyes.
Trilochan sighed heavily and stood up. Others too stood up with him.
"Agar Anirudh ne ye faisla le liya hai toh hum usse nahi rok sakte", saying this, Trilochan went from there.
"Abb aurtein bhi padhengi!",murmurred a villager.
"Han! Padhengi! Aur woh sab karengi jo mard kabhi bhi nahi kar paate!", exclaimed Anirudh.
