Barrister Babu New Era Episode-5: Tapur defends herself before villagers.

The episode starts with the villagers asking Trilochan how he can allow an impure girl to touch and play with his grandchildren.  Trilochan gets very angry after hearing this.   He goes inside in anger while tapping his beautiful walking stick against the hard floor.

Trilochan shouts, “Who brought that impure and stained girl in our home??”

Bondita, Anirudh, Sampoorna and Somnath come out to see what has happened.  They all get scared seeing the Angry Dragon  avatar of Trilochan.

Trilochan asks, “Who brought that girl here without my permission????”

Somnath gets confused as he doesn’t know that Tapur and Tupur are in the haveli.  He thinks, “Which girl Kaka is talking about?  Who has came in Roy Choudhary Haveli without Kaka’s consent??”  But Somnath doesn’t dare to ask anything to Trilochan by getting scared of his Angry Dragon Avatar.  Somnath slowly moves away from the scene.

Trilochan’s eyes are burning like fire in anger.  His nose has became red like tomato.  His small nose is not able to hold such a big anger.  He is looking like an angry sea-monster who has been woken up from his deep sleep of ages.

Sampoorna gets soooo scared that she runs away saying Shashwati is calling her.  Now, poor Anirudh and Bondita are left alone to fight the anger of Dragon-like Trilochan.

Anirudh tries to calm the anger of Trilochan.  Anirudh says, “Kaka, kaka, please calm down. I’ll tell you everything.”  But since no human in this universe can calm down a dragon, Anirudh’s effort goes in vain.   Trilochan walks away in anger.

Trilochan is searching in each and every room for Tapur. (Till now, he doesn’t know that Tupur is also there in the Haveli.)  But as Anidita have given a secret room to Tapur-Tupur, Trilochan is not able to find them. He shouts, “Where are you hiding??  Come out.  I won’t let your bad shadow to fall on my innocent grandchildren. How dare you enter in our holy and heaven-like Roy Choudhary Haveli????  Yesterday, you sent your sister here for spreading bad omen; and today you yourself came to make our Haveli a hell??  I won’t spare you.”

Meanwhile, Bondita goes in her room. She is searching for something. She searches in the cupboard, in the table-drawers, in the book shelf;  and finally she finds some papers.  She gets happy.

Bondita runs to angry Trilochan. She tries to talk with him, but he walks away.  Suddenly, Bondita appears in front of Trilochan and outstretches both her arms blocking his way.  Trilochan says, “Bahu, don’t come in my way today.”  And he turns to leave, but Bondita stops him.

 

Bondita shows the papers which she has brought from her room to Trilochan. Trilochan sees the papers.

Those papers are actually letters.  The same letter in which Bondita had written Tapur’s truth and Tapur wanted to give it to Somnath.  Then Bondita shows the fake letter which Batuk had written.

After reading those letters, the anger of Dragon-like Trilochan calms down.

Then, Bondita explains the entire truth to her Kakasasurji, that how Batuk had changed Tapur’s letter to create misunderstandings.   Trilochan regretfully says, “Betrayal!!  Such a big betrayal!!!!  I thought that Tapur betrayed us, but… butttt nooo…. I was wrong.  It was Batuk who betrayed us!!!”

Somnath, who is hiding behind a curtain; is listening to all the conversations of Trilochan and Bondita.  After knowing the complete truth, his eyes get filled with tears of regret.  He recalls his engagement day and feels very verryyy bad.

Trilochan gets very emotional and says, “Bondita bahu, please forgive me.  I got soo blind in my son’s love that I couldn’t understand his evil intentions.  Please tell me where is Tapur, I want to ask forgiveness from her.”  Bondita tells him, “Kakasasurji, elders don’t ask forgiveness from youngers, rather they bless the youngers. And you….”   She is about to complete her statement, when loud noises start ringing in their ears.

The villagers are shouting at the entrance of Roy Choudhary Haveli. They are calling out to Trilochan very loudly.  Trilochan comes to them and asks them to calm down.  But villagers don’t listen.  They tell Trilochan to throw Tapur out of Roy Choudhary Haveli immediately.

Bondita comes out and she asks the villagers to stop mocking at Tapur.  But as expected, the villagers don’t listen to Bondita and start shouting, “Where is that Kulakshani(Ominous)  girl??  Throw her out at once.  Otherwise, she will spread bad omen everywhere with her evil shadow.”   But before anyone could say something, someone enters the scene.  All the people at the scene get shocked seeing the person.   They raise their eyebrows and open their mouth like .

The person is none other than Tapur.  But no, this time it isn’t that Tapur who used to get scared and hurt by the society’s words;  this Tapur is very different.  She has a bold and fierce look.   Her bravery can be seen in her fiery eyes.  Her eyes are shining brightly.

(Jai Durge… plays as Tapur enters very confidently)

 

Tapur’s high level of confidence is reflecting from her glowing face.  She is looking like a brave tigress and a strong lioness.   All the villagers, Bondita, Anirudh, Sampoorna and Trilochan are shocked seeing this new avatar of Tapur.  Tupur is watching everything from the window of the secret room. She also gets surprised.    Meanwhile, Somnath, who is still watching the scene by standing behind the curtain; he gets emotional seeing Tapur.

Tapur comes to Bondita by taking bold steps and says in a confidential tone, “Bondita didi, let them speak whatever they want.  I won’t get hurt by their words anymore.  If I get scared by their words, they’ll scare me more.  If I get hurt, then they’ll hurt me more.  Let them say anything didi.  Let them ask me any question.  Today, I have answers to all their questions.  You have ignited the fire of bravery inside me, I won’t stop now. I won’t move back now.”

[Tapur recalls Bondita coming to her.  Tapur was crying by hearing the villagers shout. Bondita hugs her and consoles her. Tapur says, “Bondita didi, I told you not to bring us here. See what those villagers are telling. They will throw us out from the Haveli.”    Bondita says, “That’s what you want Tapur, right?”  Tupur says, “What are you saying Bondita??  Are you even aware of what you’re speaking????”

Bondita says, “Yes Tupur, I’m completely aware of what I am speaking.”  Then Bondita turns to Tapur and says, “Tapur, please listen carefully whatever I’m saying and think with your heart.  You are not only my younger sister, but also my best friend.  So, I always think of your happiness and your well-being.  Listen my sister, you’re saying that you shouldn’t have came here. But do you think this society will let you live happily if you don’t come here?  No, right??  As you have seen, these ill-minded people don’t blame the man who tries to do wrong with a woman;  but they always blame the woman.  According to them, a man can do whatever he wishes for. But, a woman should remain in a so-called limit.  If a man does something wrong with a woman, then what is the innocent woman’s fault in this??  And if women aren’t at mistake, then why they should get scared or hurt by anyone’s words????  Tapur, I’m trying to explain you that this patriarchal society is really very verryyy bad.  If you get scared by their words, they’ll scare you more. If you get hurt by their abuses, they will surely hurt you even more.  So, my dear sister, you have to be strong.  Till what time you will remain weak and helpless like this?  You’ll definitely have to be bold.  If you won’t answer their questions today, then they’ll raise more and more questions against you.  And tomorrow, they’ll come up with sooooo many questions that you won’t be able to answer them.   But, if you’ll answer their questions today, then their mouths will be shut. They won’t ask you any more questions, shotti.   Trust me Tapur, I’m saying this for your own good.  But, but, butttt…  As I have promised Pati babu, I won’t force you for anything.  The decision will be completely yours……  And yes, I’m going to tell the engagement day’s truth to Kakasasurji.  For that, first I’ll have to find your original letter and the fake letter written by Batuk.  I’m going now. Kakasasurji is very angry.”

Bondita starts leaving. But she turns back to Tapur and says, “Tapur, whatever I have said, please think over it again with your calm mind and heart.”   Saying this, Bondita leaves.  Tapur and Tupur look on.]

Flashback ends.

Tapur tells to the villagers, “Say, whatever you want to speak.  Ask whatever  you  want to ask.”

One man starts laughing loudly and says, “Dekho bhaiyon, kya jamaana aa gaya hai!!!  (See brothers, what time has came!!)   An impure girl, who has a bad image in front of the whole society, she is speaking like a sherni(lioness)!!!!!!!”

All the villagers laugh at this.

Second man points a finger towards Tapur and says, “Heyyyyy girl!!!  You are stained.  You have an evil shadow.  How dare you show your face in front of us??”

Tapur gives a fake smile to the second man and says,  “Heyyy youuu!!!  Listen here, I’m not stained;  but your thoughts are completely stained. And the one who has an evil shadow is you, not me; okay!!  And, you only came here to see my face;  I never came to you for showing my face.”

Then, the lioness Tapur turns to the first man.  She gives him a cold look and says, “Now these sick-minded people will decide how I should speak.  They will tell me whether I should speak like a kitten or like a lioness.  Huhhhh…”

Third man gets furious after hearing Tapur’s words. He says, “You shameless girl!!!!  Don’t you feel any shame while speaking all this?  Noo, nooooo, noooooo….  How can I forget that you have sold all your shame??”  He starts laughing.   All other villagers also start laughing…

But, the sound of laughter ceases down in the next second when Tapur shouts, “You shameless people!!!  How can you say such worst things about me??  I’m not shameless, but you all are shameless.  Do you have any proof of what you all are speaking????  Nooo, right?  But I have a solid proof of what I am speaking.  And the proof is my pure heart, the confidence in my eyes and my innocent soul.  If I haven’t done anything wrong, then why should I feel ashamed to say the truth??  Haannn???  When a man does something wrong, then no one says anything to him.  And even if a woman doesn’t do anything wrong, still she faces false allegations against her.  Whyyyyy??”

A man says, “Because, men perform hardwork to earn for their family. So, even if they do wrong sometimes, it isn’t counted.  But, a woman is the laaj of the family.  Soo, she shouldn’t think of doing anything wrong even in her dreams.”

Tapur claps and says, “Wowww!!  What a great mindset!!!!  Women are considered low and weak in the society only because of ill-minded people like you..”  and she points the index finger of her right towards the men.  Tapur continues, “People like you will never ever understand a woman’s hardwork.  A woman does 10 times more hardwork than a man. But you people……”

Before Tapur could complete her sentence, a man interrupts, “Hey shameless girl, don’t try to hide your truth. We all very well know that you had an affair with Chandrachur babu. You don’t have your character.  You’re a characterless girl..”

Somnath, who is hearing everything by hiding behind the curtain;  he couldn’t stop himself this time after hearing about Tapur’s character.  He comes out and gives a tight slap on the cheek of that man who called Tapur a characterless girl. The man’s face becomes red. Somnath says, “How dare you speak ill about a girl’s character??  Tell me????”

Somnath again gives a hard slap on the man’s second cheek.  Now, the man’s face becomes double red.

Somnath says, “Never ever dare to talk bad about any girl’s character from now on.  Understood??”

Anirudh gets very happy by seeing his brother like this.  His chest puffs up in pride.

Another man says, “Somnath babu, who are you to come between us???  Have you also started getting into the love-trap of this shameless girl??????”

But before anyone could say anything, Trilochan shouts, “Enough!!!  No one will say any single bad word about my children in front of me.  Go away you all. Mind your own business.  Don’t try to interfere in our personal matters.”

By hearing Trilochan’s words, all the villagers leave from Roy Choudhary Haveli.

The episode ends.

Precap:

Thakuma and Sumati return to Roy Choudhary Haveli. The Roy Choudharys welcome them. Then, Thakuma takes Binoy somewhere. She angrily says, “Whatever these Roy Choudharys have done with my family, they will get its fruit today. I will pay them for their deeds.”  She takes an iron rod and hits Binoy on his head. Binoy shouts in pain😫.
