Ebar Shabor Page #5

She has already made

Mithu her custodian.

Swine!

On Mitali's death-

A hundred and twenty two calls!

Hello.

Do you have some time?

Want to chat.

What? Who're you?

Shabor Dasgupta,

Detective, Lalbazaar.

Oh

but I'm not anywhere nearby

Where exactly?

I mean I'm not in the

southern part of the city

Then you must in the west!

North, I'll be late.

By North you mean Gariahat right?

In front of Basanti Devi College?

Need to create an account.

Savings right?

- Yes.

It's you!

Just fill up the ticked blanks.

Are your mom and dad fine?

Hmm.

You'll need to submit

the mentioned documents.

Your still around?

The form.

But the bank has closed down now,

Come back tomorrow?

In the first half.

Do you have something to say?

I'm sorry Mithu da. - For what?

I mean for how my sister

has behaved with you.

Have you come to talk on her behalf?

No, no!

She could never understand you.

Neither could I Joyeeta.

I don't try anymore.

Get the form, your

work will be done.

I won't be able to

come back tomorrow.

'Please forget the past Mithu da.

I can think of no one but you.'

When exactly did this happen?

We'll call you if required.

We need to talk to her alone.

Oh, okay.

Tea's kept there. - Thanks.

Yes, go on.

It happened six months

after their divorce.

Did you love him before

they were married or-

One must never lie to the Police,

lawyer or the 'kept'.

Know that, don't you?

After the divorce.

During my visits to the bank

You fell in love

What did Mithu say?

Didn't bother much.

I wanted to make right all

the things that my sister wronged.

Uncle wasn't aware of this,

but I felt the need to

do something for Mithu da.

Does your family deal in saris?

Yes, my mother designs them.

And you have a love for music.

I'm doing my PhD in music.

Very good!

You've got magic in your

hands child. Very tasty.

Why don't you stay with us?

Sister's not here, why live alone?

How can I leave the house

and all this property...

How's the idea of marrying again?

Uncle do you get to meet Mithu da?

Bad luck Joyee bad luck.

What a gem of a boy.

It's Mitali's bad luck.

She failed to understand Mithu.

I arranged everything,

but he feels no remorse towards me.

Such a gentleman!

Mithu da should get married now.

Absolutely.

Inspite of all this, he visits me.

He arranged for my

tickets to Pondicherry.

I just don't know how to repay him.

Serious?

You invite him, and I'll cook!

Great!

So Arun, your Mother

and we'll all eat together!

But I feel he won't come.

You want to bet?

He will come.

So Saturday then?

- Sure.

I dunno why but I really

wanted to cook for him...

I managed to convince uncle.

My little girl has

made excellent fish curry!

Don't you think so?

Try some.

Yes, your right.

Won't you eat?

Right after you.

No! Grab a plate

and eat with all of us.

Come on, sit with us.

Haren da will serve us.

I want to eat after you finish.

That not going to happen.

Yes, sit here. I'll serve you.

Wow. This is very tasty.

Have you really made this?

Excellent!

All this has been

possible because of Joyee.

She was the one who made the plan.

I had such great food today!

What's the matter?

Why are you crying?

Why don't you say something?

Mitali had shattered my confidence.

Thanks to you, its restored again.

It scares me.

What if...

I propose, and you say no

I've said whatever

I felt in that letter.

You have my number right?

I'm sure you wouldn't mind

if I'd say it over the phone.

What?

That I love you.

No way! That's not possible!

What are you saying Arun?

You don't understand...

Mithu was Mitali's husband!

He 'was' brother.

The past is past!

They don't make men

like Mithu anymore.

And they are adults

capable of making decisions.

No!

Arun, you don't understand.

Joyee, things like these

don't happen. It's impossible!

But they're divorced!

So what if they are divorced!?

They aren't married

anymore according to the law.

And if Joyee loves him-

What are you saying Arun?

This can't happen

within the same family!

No, this can't happen!

Please understand.

I can't say anything more.

How did you even allow this?

We did not know.

This happened after

you left for Pondicherry.

And it's all over

between Mitali and Mithu.

It's a closed chapter.

Please don't mind me saying this,

but your being a little adamant.

Adamant?

I'm adamant?

She's going to come to Joyeeta's

wedding and see Mithu's the husband?

No, Arun,

don't say these things to me.

Please please!

Brother? - Let it be.

He's hot headed today.

Don't say anything else now

But why's he so obstinate?

- Let it go.

Joyee

- Don't worry okay?

I'll make him understand.

Uncle had an acute cerebral attack.

Survived for half

an hour in the hospital.

And after that...

There she is.

Hey! - Di!

Di

Hey! - Di!

- Here! - Over here.

Di!

Let's go dear.

How much?

- 60 rupees.

Here.

What is it?

Does Mitali know about us?

No. Why?

It's time we told her.

Isn't right to keep her in the dark.

Come, I'll tell you more.

Mitali wants to tell me something.

I have a feeling.

She came to the bank the other day.

She needs to say something perhaps.

- But what?

She's a bit repentant.

What does that mean?

Don't know.

She came to my branch.

Was apologetic.

And wanted to create

a joint account with me.

I may be wrong-

What's going to happen Mithu?

Mitali's chapter is closed Joyeeta.

Tell her that.

Why don't you?

How can I?

She hasn't told me

anything directly.

But coming to the branch

and wanting to join the account

Tell her soon.

What happened?

Embarrassed?

Tell her,

or she'll nurture other ideas.

That will lead to unwanted problems.

Tell her.

I couldn't tell her.

The night before the party,

Di came back from

the attorney's office.

What all have you bought Di?

You've got the whole

shopping mall here!

I'm finally done with

a very important work.

Feel relieved now.

What work?

I feel like telling you everything.

Tell me!

- No! Not now.

People will call me mad otherwise.

Here, drink up the water.

Thank you.

Oh, I went to the bank.

Met Mithu.

What did he say?

- Nothing much.

Asked him to come home someday.

I wasn't in the right

state when father died.

Couldn't talk to him properly then.

And I feel whatever

happened with him was wrong.

I've wronged him.

Hey?

What's wrong with you?

- Nothing

Something's wrong of course!

I always see your minds

fleeting here and there.

You must be in love.

- No way!

You are in love! - Di?

- It's nothing of that sort.

Tell me who!

You can tell me ofcourse!

Please tell me no?

- Trust me, it's nothing!

Tell me!

- Honestly, nothing.

Okay okay, I'll tell later.

- Later when?

Tomorrow.

- Tomorrow for sure?

Sure. - Great, I'll give you

a great news tomorrow too!

An announcement that'll

call for a party!

Haren da, I'm hungry!

Whom do you like more?

Buddadeb Guha or

Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay?

I like them both.

The morning the party took place...
