*Tulsipur*
The clock strikes six as it makes a sound. Anirudh is sitting in his room, distressed. Somnath and Batuk come there.
"6 baj gaye. Ladke vale aa gye honge kya. Boudi ne unse vivah kar lia to?", Batuk says to Somnath.
"Arrey to teri Boudi thodi na rahegi vo." Somnath says loudly, so that Anirudh hears them.
"Kaka aur Baba bhi nahi h ghar pe ye shab rlokne ke liye."
"Anirudh dada h na. Vo rok sakte h. Jaa jaake mana unhe."
"Laal gaal ache nahi lagte mujhe. Aap jaake bolo na." Batuk puts his hands over his cheeks.
Suddenly, they hear the horn of a motorcar. Somnath and Batuk go to the balcony outside to look over and see a family getting off the car and entering Bhaumik babu's house. Somnath looks at Batuk and signales him.
"Somu dada, vo dekho ladke valo ki gaadi aa gyi." Batuk shouts.
Inside Anirudh, who can hear all their chatter gets irritated.
"Aur vo dekh ladka. Vaise dikhne ka to acha hi h. Barrister lagta h. Ab kya kar skte h, Boudi- mera matlab h Soudamini ko to Barrister hi pasand h.", Somnath shouts.
*Inside Bhaumik's house*
The guests are sitting on the couch as sweets and delicacies are laid on the table in front of them. Bhaumik babu is sitting on the other side, with Soudamini standing beside him.
"Hume to ladki pasand h." The boy's father says, "Beta Ranjan, tum bhi batado kya vichar h tumhare."
Ranjan looked down getting shy. "Ji baba vo mei-"
The conversation is stopped due to arrival of a person. The guests look at him.
"Ye humare padosi h. Binoy babu ke sabse bade bete, Anirudh Roy Chowdhary. Abhi abhi London se vaapis aaye h Barristry krke."
Anirudh glares at Mini, jealousy raging in him. Mini looks away, shy but happy by the fact that he came for her.
"Kuch kaam tha beta." Bhaumik Babu asked acting all unaware.
"Sorry, apke iss zaruri kaam me baadha to nhi daali mene."
"Nahi nahi, balki hum to tumhara hi inteza-" He stops in mid as his daughter pinches him lightly on the shoulders. "Mera matlab h kaise aana hua beta."
"Kitaabe! Kuch kitaabe chahiye thi. Le lu?" Anirudh says pointing towards Soudamini's room.
"H-ha bilkul." With this response, he looks and glares at Ranjan and gies inside.
"Mein dekh ke aati hu." Soudamini gives an excuse to escape from the guests.
The guests look confusingly at the drama.
"Aa- aap log rosogulle lijiye na." Bhaumik babu tries to divert their attention.
"Ye Soudamini ne bnaye h?", Ranjan's father asked.
"Haa" Bhaumik babu said with an awkward smile. "Vo to aaj subah se hi bana rahi h, hum sabko paagal.", he murmured to himself.
Inside Soudamini's room, a raging Anirudh is standing when Soudamini enters.
"Konsi kitaab chahiye.", she asks him teasingly. "Mein nikaal ke de deti hu."
"Mujhe tumhari madad nahi chahiye."
"Mujhse behtar koi jaanta h kya tumhari pasand ko. Acha kahi ye vahi kitaab to nahi jaha premika kisi aur se vivah kar leti h aur premi uski yaad m tadapt- Huh" She gasped as Anirudh held her by her shoulders and pinned her against the wall.
