“What?” I exclaimed, “You are waiting for me since noon?” I was surprised to hear that,
“Come inside.” I took her naughty foal from her lap and he giggled at me.
I asked his name, he answered in his baby babbling, “Pappatitto..” I looked at Nilanjana
Madam inquisitively and asked what his name was. She answered, “Bappaditya.” She
patted her son on his cheek and said to him, “See I told you that we are going to your
brother’s house?”
Bappa gave an inquisitive look and asked, “Are you my brother?”
I nodded and smiled at him, “Yes my dear, I am.” However, Bappa was unable to come
to terms that brother can be that old. He kept looking at my face.
She gestured her driver to bring her luggage. I looked at her inquisitively and asked, “Are
you going to stay? Does my father know about this? You are rich lady you won’t be able
to stay in my dingy house.”
She nodded, “If you can stay why can’t I? At least I want to see where you stay.” Once
inside my flat, she looked around and asked, “So you live here? Quiet cosy home.” I was
perplexed as what all was happening. She smiled at me and said, “Anoushka is very
intelligent and must be an elegant lady.” I nodded, yes she was. She kept on, “Hmm...
she has got good taste of household things, I can see.” She then looked at me and said,
“She has not come to the house for quiet sometime? Is not that?”
My jaws dropped, is she a detective? On beholding the perplexed look on my face, she
answered, “I can feel her touch all around the this room, the curtains and wall hangings
are quiet beautiful and the way the kitchen has been kept. But the way the newspapers
are scattered and from the colour of bed sheet I can assume that she has not stepped in
for quite some time.” I was amazed by her observation power. She gave a soft smile at
me and said, “So I am right. Has anything happened between you two?”
I shook my head. I hid the truth from her, “No.” I was unable to come to terms as what
she was doing at my place. I asked her, “You came all the way from Dhanbad to meet
me?”
She laughed at me, “Nah... Actually not you, I came to meet Anoushka. Since she is not
here so I hope that you are the person.”
I walked into the kitchen to prepare tea, “So you must be tired after a long journey,
right?”
She smiled at me and said, “Nahh... I am not tired much. You must be tired after a long
day of work. Let me prepare the tea while you go and freshen up.”
