Bondita has gained her confidence from Anirudh meanwhile British girls are scared of her thinking that she is a friend of ghost.

It's 9 pm.

Bondita is trying to learn letters from her book. But nothing is understandable.

Devi comes there and was stunned to see her.

Devi: Hey Bondita, what are you doing?

Bondita: I am trying to learn letters but couldn't.

She said in low voice.

Devi: How will you learn it on your own?

Bondita: Just writing upon the letters given.

Devi: Bondita, without knowing what letter it is why you are writing on it? Give me, I will help you.

Bondita gave her the book.

Bondita: Devi, will I learn it before morning?

Devi jerked and looked at her.

Bondita: I want to prove myself to those who laughed at me today morning.

Devi: Learning letters are not easy but still let us try. Today you learn Hindi tomorrow we shall learn English.

Bondita shook her head. Devi took a slate and writes "अ" on it.

Devi: Bondita, this is the first letter in Hindi. We call it as "Ah". Now you write it.

She gave the slate. Bondita holds the chalk in wrong way.

Devi corrects her. Bondita tries to write "अ" but ends up writing it upside down.

Devi: Wrong!

Bondita's face changed.

Devi: Don't lose your hope. This is your first mistake. Even I too wrote like this only during my first class. Try again, Bondita.

Bondita smiled and tries again. This time she writes it correctly.

Devi claps hands for her.

Devi: Correct, Bondita!

Bondita's smiled widened ear to ear.

Devi: Now say अ for Aam.

Bondita repeats it.

Devi: What else words you know that starts with letter अ?

Bondita without even thinking utters, "Anirudh Roy Chaudhary".

Devi's face changed. Bondita realises that she blabbered.

Devi: Who is he?

Bondita: He... He... is... Leave it, let's go to next letter.

Devi: Nahi, tell me first. I am your friend na then why you want to hide it from me? Who is he?

Bondita: He is my Sakha babu.

Devi: Sakha?

Bondita nodded.

Devi: Theek hain, let's learn next letter.

Bondita nodded. They continues to learn.
