When Nizam went to change his wet clothes Lalbanu had hidden a knife in her waist PIC Rashed Hussain

When Nizam went to change his wet clothes, Lalbanu had hidden a knife in her waist. Nizam seized the opportunity to come and hugged her and stabbed her. Nizam had never dreamed that something like this could happen. So Lalbanu was able to overpower her very easily. Lalbanu kept hitting Nizam one after the other. Gradually Nizam became numb. In his last moments, Nizam wanted to say something to Lalbanu, but he could not. Lalbanu did not give him that chance.

Even after Nizam was completely dead, Lalbanu’s hands did not stop. Her hands continued to stab him brutally. Looking at Nizam’s lifeless body, Lalbanu said, “I thought that the love that my son-in-law, Raikha, had for a stranger was tarnishing me. But I was wrong. My body was tarnished already. That is why Satan is able to take me as a tiger. He is awakening a feeling of sin in my mind. What is love? The reality is, in this world, things never go well with Lalbanu. Some Lalbanu have good fortune written on their foreheads, who fight patiently till the end. But I couldn’t. I couldn’t be patient. That’s why Satan pushed me towards people like you.”

That day, Farida was saying that Ashalata was pregnant. Hearing this, Lalbanu understood that Majed Khan was right. He had no problem. ‘Phulan’ was Majed Khan’s daughter.

Everything was fine. Suddenly, Nizam disappeared. Lalbanu became busy looking for her love, Nizam. He kept coming to chase Maleka Begum. Maleka Begum couldn’t control her anger and said, “Aren’t you ashamed? Ask your son-in-law’s mother about Aiya Nagar?”

“No, don’t. Because there was an inhuman in your daughter-in-law.”

Maleka Begum got even angrier at Lalbanu’s words. After all, it was her child. Then Lalbanu was forced to tell Maleka Begum everything she had done with the child. Maleka Begum was surprised to hear everything. She was even more surprised to hear that Ashalata was pregnant.

Maleka Begum did not know about her son’s idea. However, she regretted hearing that Ashalata was pregnant. Then she said, “Kabiraj’s treatment was the reason why my wife became a child.”

Lalbanu was surprised to hear what Maleka Begum said. She said in a calm voice, “Kabiraj’s treatment?”

“Yes. The one who showed you the child. That Kabiraj was looking after Ashalata.”

Lalbanu was shocked. She confirmed from Maleka Begum that the poetess whom Majed Khan had first taken Lalbanu to see was the poetess Ashalata. Maleka Begum said, “One day, Doa Poira even gave her a bath in Rai.”

Lalbanu sat down on the floor in astonishment. She understood that something else had happened here. Lalbanu’s previous experience with Kabiraj meant that her thoughts were more likely to be correct.

Lalbanu came to Kabiraj’s house and sat in front of him. Kabiraj was quite annoyed. Lalbanu said in a calm voice, “What are you doing with your wife Ashalata?”

Kabiraj was a little stunned. She was thinking of doing something. Her eyes were looking at Lalbanu from top to bottom. Lalbanu said tactfully, “Don’t think of doing anything bad to me. I have come to inform the police. If you don’t go home properly, the police will arrest you. I have decided. I will go to the police.”

Kabiraj got scared after hearing the police’s words. Lalbanu said very calmly, “You are doing bad things to Majed Khan’s wife without his knowledge. Do you know what will happen to you if this goes back to the village? What will I tell people? I will take you to the police.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. I haven’t done anything. Will you just arrest me at the police?”

Hearing Kabiraj’s words, Lalbanu agreed and said, “You are right. Why would the police arrest you without proof? Ashalata Bhabhi is not alive. So I am alive.”

“So?”

Kabiraj didn’t understand. Lalbanu smiled faintly and said, “Don’t you remember what you wanted to do by giving me medicine? If I myself became a witness and told the police about it, the police would surely believe everything and throw it out?”

Kabiraj got very scared. He says, “What is my fault, I do what I am told?”

“You mean? Who told you what?”

Kabiraj slowly started telling everything. This time Lalbanu was not shocked. She knew something like this had happened. But she did not know that Majed Khan was involved in this way.

Majed Khan could never become a father. Since it was not possible for his brother to procreate. Altaf Khan was a man in the eyes of society, everyone called him a man. But in reality, he was neither a man nor a woman. It was not possible for him to procreate. Even if his matter could be covered up, Majed Khan’s village elders could not cover up his matter. There were no children in his family. If society knew that he was incapable, he would be scolded. So one day he came to Kabiraj with Ashalata.

That day, Majed Khan forced Ashalata to have sex with Kabiraj. Not only that day, but repeatedly after that day. Because of which Ashalata was very depressed. She would always sleep.

Majed Khan is that perverted person of the society, who was more afraid of the words of the people of the society than the fear of sin. For which he chose this path to call out his inability.

But then Ashalata dies. Even though Farida caused the incident, Majed Khan knew that she committed suicide. Majed Khan feels that he forced Ashalata to do this, and Ashalata committed suicide out of shame and hatred. In the meantime, Rafiq Sikder becomes another pain for Majed Khan. Once, when he passed by Kabiraj’s house, he saw everything. For which he demands money from Majed Khan. Majed Khan gives it. After Ashalata’s death, Rafiq Sikder’s demands increase. He threatens Majed and Kabiraj at the same time. Unable to bear this, Majed Khan kills him.

Although Ashalata’s death was covered up, Majed Khan later gets married. Why doesn’t he have children? This was often discussed in the tea shop. Whenever this was discussed, Majed Khan was afraid that if society found out about his disability, he would be ostracized. It would be funny to people that he was disabled even though he was from such a good family.

Majed Khan did not want to make mistakes like before. That is why he wanted to do everything unconsciously so that Lalbanu would not know the truth. On the first day, he tried to win Lalbanu’s trust in the name of giving her medicine. So that Lalbanu would think that she had really been treated. She would have to take this treatment every day. So on the first day, he gave her some leaf juice in the name of medicine. Luckily, Lalbanu survived on the second day. Although Farida’s intention was that if Lalbanu was treated properly, she would get pregnant. And that was not what Farida wanted. She did not want it to happen. He gave her that advice. Because of which Lalbanu survived. But Majed Khan did not want to be caught by Lalbanu. That is why he made Kabiraj guilty in her eyes.

After hearing everything from Kabiraj, Lalbanu leaves. However, while leaving, she thinks to herself, “Shall I leave your criminal to fate, Asha Bhabhi?”

Thinking this, Lalbanu leaves. There is only one question in her mind, if Majed Khan is really incapable, then whose son is his ‘Phulan’. Here, Lalbanu’s world becomes chaotic. How her thoughts become chaotic.
