On the boat Tarapada won the hearts of both Moti Babu and his wife. But Charu, their only daughter, began to envy him. This amused Tarapada who accompanied the family to their native home.

To keep him permanently as their own, Moti Babu and Annapurna planned Tarapada's marriage with Charu. They wrote to the boy's mother about their intention.She was happy that her little bird was caged at last.
