Chapter 15: Siren’s flute. (#1)
Everything happened like a tempest and uprooted our lives. Every night her snivelled
eyes haunted me, “I will not live without you, Adi”. Each night I used to sit on my bed
with her clothes in my hand. The doors, the windows, the curtains, and the couch
everyone was asking me, “Where is the queen of this abode?” I was unable to answer
them as the queen was hidden somewhere. Anxiety was killing me to the core, gnawing
my soul with every passing moment.
One evening I went to her college, although I knew that she might not be there. I waited
in front of the gate with a faint ray of hope. I saw Parineeta coming out of the college.
She was surprised to see me.
“What are you doing here?” she asked me.
I asked her in return, “Do you know where Titli is?”
She nodded her head, “Aunt told me that she won’t pursue her studies. I was surprised
to hear that, as she was the best student of our batch. I asked the reason but I did not
get any clear answer.” She gave me a piercing gaze, “I think you know something. Tell
me.”
I told her that Titli’s father came to know about our affair and she was sent away. I was
not sure as where she was sent so I needed her help.
She looked at me and smiled, “Ok good. You need my help.”
“Yes.” I said to her, “Can you goto Titli’s house and ask aunt as where she has been
sent?”
“I will try.” She sat on my pillion and said, “Can I have a ride to my place?”
I smiled at her, “Ok why not.”
On the way to her house she said, “I sensed that something like this could happen. I
know her from the college days. She was jolly she was naughty same time she guarded
herself so well that we envied her nature. She always kept herself away from any type of
inclination.”
I murmured to myself, who else can know her better than me. I think her mother even
does not know her well.
Out of courtesy, I asked her about her boyfriend, Shantanu. She leaned on my back and
said, “No dear no such luck. He moved out of the city and out of sight out of mind.”
“So moving out of the city was the reason of your break up?” I asked her.
“Ah! Come on, Budhaditya I don’t want to discuss some passing affair now. I am happy
to be alone.” She patted on my back and giggled.
