Plot
Brojendra, a doctor, agrees to marry a girl of his mother's choice being an obedient son. But he refuses to look at her face, even after marriage.[15]
At a musical performance in his locality, days after his marriage, he chances upon a beautiful girl and exchanges meaningful glances with her. He returns home guilt-ridden for having neglected the girl whom he married and committing the wrongful act of giving undue attention to another girl, who was a complete stranger.[16][17]
