The story is set in 1930s when polygamy is one of the malpractices in India and many wives have been victim of such offense. The story has began after 5 years when Anirudh has done fake marriage with Manorama to help her in freedom frighting mission and to diverse Bondita mind towards study from adharsh patni role as per society demands.
Bondita and Anirudh have confessed their feelings with each other after Bondita completed her Barristery and become a successful barrister. They have been married with all the rituals and they have become parents of twins (One boy and one girl). One fine day when Anidita were busy with some case files in their study during that time one women has visited Bondita for the case of polygamy whose husband had married other women and made her first wife and insulting her on a daily basis. The name of the lady is Vimla who is 20 years old and had come to Anidita for seeking justice for herself. After hearing the second marriage and first wife tag Anirudh has become shocked and some wound from past have been opened for both the barrister couple. However, Bondita is not sad but become concern regarding revelation of some information related to some taunts faced by women who become first wife and their husband marries another girl as it will make Anirudh more guilty for giving the tag of first wife to Bondita. So Bondita wanted to talk with Vimla privately but Anirudh wanted to hear the actual issue.
Vimla: Choti Malikin, please give justice to me my husband has married another girl and made me perform all the rituals needed to be performed by first wife for welcoming second wife. When I have asked him regarding my fault, he simply insulted me in front of the entire village by stating that I do not have the capability to become his wife and I am his mere responsibility nothing more that is why he has married for the second time by his choice and he loved his second wife dearly.
This Statement of Vimla made Anirudh remember regarding the bodhu boron rituals of his and Manorama’s fake marriage and his and Bondita’s first marriage anniversary where he had insulted Bondita in front of all and made her do first wife ritual and also separated Bondita from her mother for the sake of her bright future. He has also stated the same statement to Bondita as well during his fake wedding with Manorama.
Bondita who noticed Anirudh become more worried when he will learn regarding the insults faced by first wife.
Vimla: After that all the villagers and even my family members and in-laws are insulting me by stating that I am infertile and not able to make my husband happy (by giving physical pleasure) that is why he has married for second time. Choti malkin, you have also experienced the same thing when Chote Mallik has married other women and brought home. You have also faced the same taunt from the society and your mother has abandon you so you can understand my pain.
