When Subhash visit Jamini's mother, her mother thinks that Niranjan comes and she talks as if he were Niranjan.  Eveybody is speechless due to mother's questions. She constanlty asking him,  where he was till today? Will he marry to Jamini?  Nobody has any answer regarding questions. At that time to console the mother Subhash replied positively to her.



Dipu is more practical man and he discuss about what did he tell to the Jamini's mother? Subhash has no answer at all and says that that time it was the only answer to give. Now again history repeats itself........

Before four years Niranjan said that "I  will come" and agian after four years another says the same. ''I will come'' Words gives the relief but pain and suffering remains as it. Waiting never ends to Jamini.
