Weeks passed; still there was no contact from Titli’s side. I tried to figure out as what
promise could refrain Titli from contacting me. The answer was quasi clear. She might
have promised to her dad upon seeing his deteriorating health condition. I was unable
to figure out as what I should do in that type of situation, should I contact her or refrain
from contacting her. All these thought did came in my mind for past days. With each
passing day, these thoughts took the backseat. The restlessness was getting sediment
day by day.
I felt solace to find Parineeta along side. A tiny sapling budded from the alluvial soil. Her
smiles and her soothing touches brought respite to my dejected heart.
One evening after I picked her up from her college, she said that she want to goto a
movie.
“Why movie? I feel that quiet boring. Sitting there in a dark room and doing nothing. It is
better to watch movies at home.” I said to her.
She patted on my back and laughed at me, “Now I know why you are so boring.”
“Ah!” I exclaimed, “See I am a boring person.”
She suggested, “Yep. Ok then we can watch movie at your place. What do you say?”
I said to her, “Ok fine, but you will be late for home. What about that.”
She sounded bit nervous, “Yeah that’s true. May be this weekend, what do you say?”
I thought for a second and then gave my consent, “Ok I will pick you up.”
She then asked me, “Have you got any call from Titli?”
I shook my head, “No, not yet. I don’t know what all is going on.”
She sounded bit concerned, “Hmm... I think she is under lot of pressure from her
family.”
I nodded, “Yes I also think so.” I paused for a moment and then said, “At least she could
make a call from outside.”
She took a deep breath and said, “It is all fate Budhaditya. I don’t know what to say.”
“What?” I asked her. “What do you want to say?”
She said to me, “No not today, may be some other day I would tell you.”
