Anirudh entered in an almost devastating condition. His hair was shabby, his eyes were red and swollen and tears left their marks on his cheeks. He walked slowly into his room like a puppet. He was tired of fighting the world for his wife and safeguarding her from the evil clutches of society. At a point, he felt like giving up but this is nothing but another phase and for the first time he was fighting all alone, without her.

Bondita was swinging the cradle and singing a lullaby with a charming smile on her trying to sing her baby to sleep which is absolutely normal but the thing that was not normal was that there was no baby in the cradle only a small doll.

"Pati babu" she looked at him with a sweet smile, "dekho humara baccha sotey huye kitna pyara lagta hain"

"Bondita yaha koi nehi hain" he said bluntly which made her chuckle, "ap andhe ho gye ho kya, wo so raha hain" she said and pointed towards the empty cradle. "WAHA KOI NEHI HAIN BONDITA" he held her by her shoulder and shouted at her which made her eyes moist, "ap jhoot bol rahe ho" he gave a slight push to him, "ap mere bacche se pyar nehi karte kya?"

He held her firmly and shook her, "koi nehi hain waha". "Ap jhoot bol rahe ho" she cried. Bondita moved her head vigorously in denial. It was becoming difficult for Anirudh to control her.

"ap burey pita aur burey pati ho!"

"BONDITA!!"

And then...

Bondita fell to the ground. She held her face and looked at him in horror, unable to believe what her pati babu did to her just now. He broke his promise.
