Night of Thousand moons.
--------------------------------
“Honey, what are you doing in this chilled night?”
“Oh! You. I thought you have slept already.”
“(Smile) Hmm... have I ever gone to bed without you?”
“No, baby. I noticed that you were tucking Bappa in the sleeping bag so I thought that
tonight also you will be not near me.”
“He won’t sleep till his Titli auntie tell him a story.”
“So the mischievous devil has slept already.”
“Yes he has slept and I have put him in Maam’s tent. (Laugh) Come on, am I smelling a
heart burn? He is just a cub. You should not be jealous of him.”
“Why not? (Smile) Since last four days he is sleeping between us like a huge barrier.”
“Today also Aurnavo and Bappa fought like tom and jerry.”
“What was the issue today?”
“(Laugh) Sleeping bag.”
“You are getting too much attached with Bappa. I fear, when he will return to Dhanbad
it will be painful for you and for him also.”
“Adi, I have something to say.”
“What?”
“What if, we keep Bappa with us?”
“(Exclaim) WHAT?”
“Just a thought, Adi. He will stay with us, complete collegeing and everything from
Kolkata.”
“Please Titli, I beg you. Don’t even think of that. I don’t want another Budhaditya in my
family, who is bereft of Mother’s love.”
“No Adi, you are getting me wrong. I love him with all my heart, I will love him like
Ma’am.”
“I know you love him very much, but you can’t be the substitute of Ma’am heart. Try to
understand Titli. I know what it is like not have a mother by your side when you need
most. He is safe and secure in Ma’am arms.”
“Sorry, Adi I didn’t mean to dig your pains now.”
“It is ok Titli, now I have everything. We do visit Dhanbad every weekend. What are
Ma’am and Aunt doing?”
“They are still awake, gossiping.”
