Jijo gets into a relationship with Hasna. Riju thinks that he is into a relationship with a girl five years older than him. One day Riju's world was shattered when she introduced Riju to her fiancé, and calls him her brother. Riju got himself drunk, and all the friends left him alone outside the bar. While returning from the pub with Dola, Bapi realised that he must have got some feelings for Dola. One day, when Dola came to Bapi's house, he asked Dola "who is Bishwayan da?". They got into an argument and Bapi kissed Dola. Dola freed herself and told that they are just friends, but gave Bapi another kiss on his cheek. Further, she told that Bapi is not manly enough and lacks any mystery in his life. Another day Bapi's sister-in-law found adult magazines and evidence of masturbation, asks Bapi's elder brother to get Bapi married.
