Arup is approached by Keya on behalf of the Gramophone Company for recording Rabindra sangeet but Arup does not agree for some unknown reason and instead throws out Keya from his house. Later, he repents for his mistake and starts singing. The couple eventually sorts their differences. When Keya goes to Shimultala on Durga Puja vacation, Arup follows Keya as per pre-plan. There, they come to know that Keya's father has already fixed up her marriage with an Engineer who is also the son of a rich Barrister from Patna. Arup by his good-nature tries to win the favors of Keya's parents and brother. However, Arup discovers the true identity of the Barrister and his son and at the behest of Keya's mother decides to leave the place without informing Keya. However, before leaving Shimultala he decides to sing his last song at the Bijoya Sammilani. Through the song he narrates the whole sad life of his mother, her lifelong struggle and how he was ill-treated by his father (the Barrister) when Arup had requested his father to come and meet his dying mother.
