Horiner thyang chebate chebate Ram bollo 'kire kaalke shikaare jaabi naki?' Jongoler modhye baas kore Shikaar korar sei mojaataai nei, tai Laxman minmin kore bollo 'gelei hoi'. Seeta bollo 'amaar jonyo ekta sundor horin chhana ene debe, please, ami pushbo?' Ram bollo 'tumi ja boolbe taai darling, tumi chaile ami sonaar horin o ene dite paari.' [jhNok er mathai ei sob hut haat promise korar ki fol hoyechhilo, ta to sobai janen]. Seeta mukh bNekiye chodmo abhimaan dekhiye bollo 'hNya hNya se amaar jaana achhe! Sei je biyer por bolechhile uttarkuru niye jabe madhuchandrima korte, niye giyechhile?' Ram byatibyasto hoye bollo "aha, raag korona praneshwari, janoi to ki bhabe taRha huRho kore sob hoye gelo..ei banabaas." 'Thaak thaak aar bahana dekhate hobe na. Haradhanu bhaangte paaro, aar baba ke mukh fute bolte paaro na je jongole jabe na. Tomaar moto menimukho lok ami jonme dekhini! Amaar i poRha kopaal. He ma jononi dwidha hao' bole seeta bheu bheu kore kanna shuru korlo! Ram ordhek chebano haaRh fele, baam hat diye Seeta'r mathai haat bolate bolate swantona dilo 'kNaadena sonamona, dekhte dekhte 14 bochhor kete jaabe, tarpor aamra uttarkuru jabo, manas sarobar e boating korte jaabo, aar jekhane jekhane jete chhaibe so..o..ob jaigaai niye jaabo." Swami-streer maan obhimaan er thyalai bibrata hoye Laxman taRhataRhi khabaar shesh kore uthe pore bollo 'ami ektu baire theke ghure aaschhi.' Ram anyamanska bhaabe bollo 'beshi dure jaas na, rakkhos khokkos thakte pare, aar songe teer dhanuk taao niye jaas.'

Laxman baire ese dekhlo ek pashla brishti hoye gumot bhaabta kete gyachhe. Aajke Shukla pakshe'r dwitiyo din, akaashe khhub soru ek faali chNaad uthechhe. Brishti thamar por maati'r sNodaa gondhe jongol mo mo korchhe, jhNi jhNi poka gulo hothat chup kore geleo, byangeder dol natun utsahe gaan shuru korechhe. Emon somoY ek jholok thanda haoar songe ki ekta mon khushi kora gondho Laxman er naake ese laaglo. Songe songe Laxman er mon prafulla hoye uthlo, banabaas er du:kho koshto, dada-boudi'r dampotyo koloho sob bhhule giye se ei mon-matal kora sugondher dike pa chalalo. Jotoi se cholte laaglo, totoi gondher teeebrata baRhte thaklo. Se je ki gondho ta kothaY prakash kora sambhab noi. Bhije matir sNoda gondho, bhor belaa jhora shiUli'r gonddho, maathar chule jabakusum tel er gondho, aar.... ghemo gaaYe powder er gondho meshale jerokom hoi onekta seirokom. Ei gondhe mohit hoyei bodh hoi jongoler sob poshu paakhi aj ghumiye poRechhe; ni:jhum adho andhakaar e sudhu jege achhe ek faali chNaad aar megh er aRhaal theke unki maraa kichhu jhikimiki taaraa. Hothaat ei monoram nistobdhota bhenge teekhna swar deke uthlo ekta hutom pNyacha.* Sachakito hoye Laxman dekhlo ekti bishaal boro bishadhar saap taar saamne! Songe songe nijeke saamle niye dhonuk e teer songjog korlo se. Kintu teer nikkhep korar agei sei mon matal kora gondho ebong sumadhur ek bNaashi'r awaj Laxman ke obosh kore dilo. Laxman dekhlo ek apurba sundari bonodebi saapuRhe bNaashi bajiye saap tike bosheebhuto korar cheshta korchhe. Saap ti aaste aaste nistej hoye gelo, kintu Laxman er rom e rom e romancha khele gelo, hridjontro dwigun bege cholte shuru korlo, roktokonikara onge onge hutoputi shuru kore dilo, gola shukiye gelo, thNot kNaapte laaglo, ebong naak o kaan laal hoye uthlo. Sundari'r porone baagh er chhal, urdhange pathar-khachita jholmole kNachuli, mathar chul jotaar moto khnopa kore bandha, mukher bNaashi aar deher sugandher kotha to agei bolechhi. Erokom ujjwal shyam bornaa, chikan twaker, tanwee, mriganayanee lolona Laxman er age kokhono dekheni.

Laxman bujhte paarlo naa je se swapna dekhchhe, na ki eta satyi. Agun dekhle jemon peepilika taar dike chhute jaai, Laxman o serokom i ek adbhhut akarshane egiye jachhilo sundarir dike. Akasmaat taar swapnabhango korte ek girgiti deke uthlo 'tik tik tik'. Maane baapu he kaaj ta thik korchho na! Sambit firtei Laxman er chokh gelo nijer anamika'r dike, songe songe nipun haate biyer aangti ta khule nijer tNyake gNujlo se. Tarpor mukh tule upare takatei chaar chokkhur milan holo. Ganja baa siddhi seboner por jemon mon gobheer theke gobheertoro gohobor e toliye jaai, temon i dujone eke oporer chokh er atalantik (atlantic?) prem sagar e nimajjito holo. Batas stobdho holo, somoY thomke gelo, tara ra megher aRhaal theke beriye elo ei ghotona prtokshyo koraar jonyo, kintu dujoner chokh er paataa poRhlo na. Ekta shaada megh er kochi chhana dushtumi kore chNaad taa ke ekbaar dhekei abaar sore gelo. Khonik er jonyo andhkaar hoye gelo, tokhon i Laxman er sambit firlo. Aamta aamta kore bollo ' ke tumi bonpori? Amaar monomoru shukno rekhe etodin tumi kothai chhile?' Lojjanoto hoye kampito osThe sundari bolte gelo, 'ami Bi...' tarpor nijeke samle niye lojja bhenge soja hoye dNariye korojoRhe bollo 'ami Josna, beder meye Josna. Tumi ke go babu?' "Ami Dasharathi Laxman, ei jongole koyekdin holo esechhi. Kintu tumi ekhane ki korchho sundari?' Laxman bollo. Baam haat nijer thutni te thekiye obaak hobaar bhan kore Josna bollo "O maa, ami to ekhanei thaki go, amaar baba Kirat Raj Shasthi Sardar, ei jongoler malik!" Laxman bollo 'Pranam grohon koro rajkumari.'

Josnar songe punorai ek i jaigai dekha korbaar pratishruti diye Laxman kutir e fire elo. KhoRh er bichhanai shobaar por seta onyodin er theke aaro beshi kutkute mone holo, sara raat kichhutei ghum elo na. Chokh bondho korlei Josnar komor duliye bNaashi bajanor chhobi taar manaschokkhe bhese uthchhilo. Radha jemon Krishner bNaashi shune pagol hoye jeto, bedeni'r bNaashi shune Laxman er o serokom obostha hoyechhilo. Modhyoratrer furfure thanda haoa O, taar ushna hridaY ke sheetal korte paarchhilo na. Eibhabe e-paash o-paash korte kortei eksamaY ratri goRhiye sokal holo.

Bharat er dut aaj Ayodhya theke sumishta totapuri aam, kanthali kola, ebong aaro nanarokom khaddyo drobyo enechhhe. Swabhabotoi Ram o Seeta ei sob khabar dekhe khhub i anondito. Dupur hote na hotei aaj bhojon er bondobosto hoye gyalo. Kintu gaoa ghee diye basamati chaal er bhaat o aaj Laxman er mukhe ruchlo na. Sob khabar i ektu ektu kore khNute khelo se. Bhai er erokom obostha dekhe Ram bollo 'Kire, shoreeer kharap naaki? khachhis na je?' Onyomonosko bhabe Laxman uttar dilo 'Nah! aaj thik khide nei'. Taar mon poRhechhilo jongoler modhye sei buRho bot gaachh er dike, jekhane sandhya hole, abar preyoseer dekha paabe!
