I said to her, “How you got the news? You were not allowed to call at her house.”

She said to me, “I have sources. She has contact none of her friends. That is very
unusual of her nature.”

I said to her, “I want to meet her for one last time.”

She asked me, “Do you think that it is a good step?”

I stammered, “I don’t know, Parineeta. I just want to see her before she goes away from
my life forever. Where is the function?”

She said to me, “I don’t think it would be a wise decision to go in front of her.”
I muttered, “I don’t want to meet her, Parineeta. I just want to see her once. Can you
arrange that?”

“I will try my best. Engagement is at home and dinner at Taj Bengal.” She answered me,
“Call me once you make up your mind.”

The soul shattering news brought me down. My face became pale. I looked at my dad
and Nilanjana Ma’am and then poured the whole glass down my throat.

Nilanjana ma’am asked me, “What happened? Any news of Anoushka?”

I nodded my head. I was feeling dizzy unable to decide as what I should do. I kept on
muttering to myself, “What made you take that decision, Titli? You can’t do this with
me. You promised to make a call but you did not.” My chest cramped I felt that
someone was choking me by my neck.

Somehow, I staggered to the guestroom with the bottle. I poured the raw alcohol down
my throat so as find some respite from the burning pain in my broken soul. Instead of
dousing, the liquid fire ignited those reminiscences more in my heart. I was able to
visualise Titli’s poignant eyes in front of me. She was walking towards me. I tried to
reach her but I was unable to do so. She yelled at me from a great distance, “I will not
live without you, Adi.”

“Budhaditya, Stop drinking like this.” I heard Nilanjana ma’am. I turned towards her.
Dad and ma’am were standing behind me.
