“Today is your brother’s birthday. Cheer up and smile.” Piyali nudged Ambalika by
her shoulder.

Ambalika sported a sleek smile, “Yes and dad has asked to bring Niladri.”


“Really!” Piyali exclaimed, “Then you should be happy. Why are you looking so
gloom then?”

“I wish my mom was there today.” She said in a calm voice. She looked outside the
window and murmured, “I wish my mom took me along with her.”

Piyali understood that the conversation was growing heavier and thought not to
stretch more. The weather was getting heavy with each passing second. It started
drizzling outside and Ambalika wandered in the barren caverns of her heart.

Piyali pinched Ambalika and asked, “Is Niladri coming today?”

She bit her lower lips and nodded her head. She knew that Niladri would be waiting
for her after college. Probably he was standing at the college gate. The mere thought
that Niladri was waiting for her, quickened her heartbeat. A bashful smile floated on
her lips.

Her father did not object much about the relation between hers and Niladri. Niladri
was an architect and was employed in a renowned architect firm. They both knew
that their future was smooth. They planned to get married after few years. Ambalika
was very head strong and independent girl. She wanted to complete her masters
and pursue her career as a teacher. Whenever she was with Niladri, she felt autumn
breeze in her bereaved soul. She counted minutes in her wristwatch. The second
hand seemed to scroll at a snail’s pace.

Just then, the peon of the college came to the lecture hall and asked for Ambalika.
Professor listened to the peon and looked at Ambalika. Everyone in the class looked
at Ambalika. Ambalika stood up. No one knew as what happened, why the principal
summoned her. Her heart was thumping loudly in anticipation. Although she was a
good student, she could not find the reason. She asked the peon but the peon kept
quiet. As she entered the principal’s room, she found a security officer officer there. She was
astonished and stood there. Principal asked Ambalika to take a seat. The security officer
officer told her that she has to accompany with them to the hospital. She asked the
reason. The security officer officer kept quiet for some time and informed about an accident.
A truck rammed into the car in which her father was travelling along with her
stepmother and stepbrother. He did not divulge much only asked her to accompany.
She felt a turbulent wave crushing on her. The whole world around her began to
rotate. She gave a bereaved look to the principal and the security officer officer. She was
about to fall down, just then Piyali came inside the office and held her in her arms.
