Romance The End of Restless Sleep- By Pinuram

[ddey333]

The lady was crying on the other end. I was unable to recognise her voice.

I asked her again, “Sorry madam, I am unable to recognise you.”

She sobbed out, “I am Titli’s mother. Can you come to hospital?”

I was stunned to hear her voice on the phone. I became stiff as a stone effigy. My face
became white, bloodless as if someone sucked all my blood. My breathing stopped as I

heard that she was calling me from hospital. I clenched my teeth to prepare myself to
hear the soul shattering news. I was not in a mood to ask the details, as I was able to
fathom that my damsel kept her word.

I pulled up all my strength and said to her, “I am coming.”

I informed my senior that I had to return to Kolkata for some inevitable reasons.

I received a call from Nilanjana ma’am, “Did Parineeta called you? Are you on the way?”

“Yes I am on my way.” I answered.

I asked her as how she knew. She answered that Parineeta was trying my cell phone but
was unable to reach me due to some reason. She called her and informed about Titli.
She asked her to give me a call.

I asked her, “What has happened to Titli?”

She answered me, “You just come to hospital. I am on the way. Your dad will arrive
tomorrow along with Bappa.”

I raced to the airport but the next flight to Kolkata was after four hours. The time was
not passing. I kept on looking at my watch; even the second hand betrayed me. It was
moving at a painfully slow pace.

After eight infinite harrowing hours, I reached Kolkata. It was about four in the morning.
It was pouring cats and dogs. Nilanjana ma’am informed that she would reach within
few hours.

I walked to the reception of the hospital and saw Parineeta and Aurnavo waiting for me
anxiously. She ran towards me and broke down. I looked at her husband and asked him
as what happened. He said nothing and looked towards Aurnavo. He was also mum. My
anguish was killing me.

Aurnavo had tears in his eye. He sobbed, “Mom is waiting for you. Come.”
