Even his wife left him with the baby Jayanta. His only solace was Anuradha, his only friend and sympathiser. But their budding love could not reach to the marriage as unbeknownst to him, his wife persuaded Anuradha to take an oath of not going any further in this relationship. Anuradha did send Sreemonto back and they have never met again in 22 years until one evening at a railway station. Their short yet nostalgia filled conversation comes to an end as their respective trains arrive and they are heading towards two different directions.
