First Installment: April, 2015.
To the holy city,
The Varanasi…
Misha was watching T.V. and thinking about her love Arnab. Since she love him, she also acknowledged about him that his belief on god is very low. You can say he almost don’t believe them. She reminded one conversation of them.
“Yes, I go to the temples, fold hands in front of them and pray.” Arnab said.
“But only once in three-four months!” Misha answered.
“Haan, So what?”
“Come on yaar, you are civilian of that city where people come to die! The Varanasi!!!”
“So what? Means I have to die every day?” and he laughed.
“Don’t tell those words once again, otherwise I’ll kill you!” Misha angered on him badly. “I’m not trying to tell you that. I am just telling you that, our city contains one of the twelve Shivlings, The Kashi-Vishwanath temple, where people come specially to visit the oldest temple from all corners of our country. We have to proud on ourselves to be civilian of this city, that we can take blessing from there every day!” Misha explained him.
“Okay. Means you want me to take blessing every day from there for me, right?” Arnab questioned.
“For us budhdhu!” Misha patted on his back head sweetly.
“Yaa, for us! Okay. But I have a condition for that, or the promise from you, whatever you say!” Arnab chuckled.
“What?”
“I want always you to visit there. I want you to stand with me there. I want you when I crouch my hands to them.”
“He will not eat you, Duffer! Are you afraid of them Mr. Arnab Shrivastav?”
“Aah, don’t hurt my ego Ms. Misha Chauhan! If we will pray for us then why should we pray alone? And we can also sit together and can spend some time at the Dashashwamedh ghat also, Duffer!” he also patted on her back head.
“Ahan! You found your romance here also haan? But we don’t have enough time to sit and spend time at ghat, as we both have to rush for our colleges in the morning. And also I could not come for some days! I have also some limitations.”
“Who told you that we should meet at morning only? I’m talking about evening! And so what if you have limitations? We will go to any other place; after all we only have to spend time with each other. The beautiful ghat, the beautiful sunset, the more beautiful you and the most beautiful our relationship! What we need else?”
“Okay. I promise you, I’ll always be there with you. To make your evenings more beautiful! Now go for study and let me study, too.” She chuckled.
“Achchha? I’ll not go. First kiss me and then only I’ll go.”
Misha rapidly kiss on his cheek and tilt her head slightly on her right as always to be the cutest girl for him, “Okay, now go.” Thinking her sweetness will melt the heart of him.
“Excuse me? A kiss means a kiss! I want it on my lips!”
“I’ll shout to Mumma, that you don’t let me study.”
“Okay. Shout!”
“Mumma, See Arnab….!”
“Okay, okay, don’t shout” cutting her in middle he said, “I’m going right now but I need it tomorrow.”
“Ummm….. let’s see…”
“What let’s see? You promised me, to make my evenings more special!!!”
“Okay baba, Done, Now please go, seriously I have to study hard tonight as tomorrow is my exam. You know na!”
“Of course I know. Okay… See yaa… Love you…”
“Love you, too. See you tomorrow.”
And a smile erupts on her lips as she reminded the next day’s beautiful evening and that kiss. She was checking her phone and reading the chats as she has sent Arnab alone to the temple today. Arnab become angry at her first but later she convinced him as she is having heavy had ache and stupid doctor suggested her to take rest. Arnab was now habituated to spend evenings at temples or any other place with her so today he agreed but again with a condition with her, that tomorrow they will sit extra together, as a punishment!
When we talk about love and relationship; friendship comes first. If you are getting married, you have time after engagement to become best friends for each other. If you are in love, obviously you are best friends for each other. A daughter and a mother are also best friends for each others. When friendship comes in any relationship, the relationship blossoms like a garden. This relationship was also blossoming, like a bunch of rose, sweet and soft. They have sharing so much of dreams together, to get marry, how they will fight after marriage, how they will fun together. But it has been said that love stays in your life only if it is written on your palm lines by nature, otherwise how many dreams you watch of them or how many promises you have done, all can ruled out in just a moment. Just like happens to Misha!
As Misha checking the chats, all of sudden, a notification on her phone took gaze of her. It was TOI app’s notification, “Just now: A blast near Kashi-Vishwanath temple, 19 died, several injured.” Her eyes don’t believe what she read. She felt a shock, a deep shock….. and change to a news channel quickly. It was true what she read. The news channel was confirming the news of blast. As soon as she realizes that Arnab was there she called him. She heard from auto answering machine of his phone, the phone was out of coverage area. Her heart was beating heavily now. All she was need now, was the news about him. How was he? Was he fine? Or something happened to him? No, no nothing can happen to him? How could anything happen to him, after all he was in temple. The flood of questions increased her head ache.
She continued to reach out him on his phone but it was continuously showed out of coverage. All of a sudden her eyes stuck on T.V. set. She can’t believe what she watched just now. Her eye brows gone up and sweat come out on her fore head. She shouted, “Arnab……” Yes she saw her Arnab taken by some volunteers to the ambulance in a stretcher. She watched him, he was badly injured. She quickly ran to the hospital, where the injured victims of blast were admitted. She even not bothered of informing her mother and brother who were just next to her room. They heard her shout but they were not quick enough to catch her in home. She ran out of home so quickly that she even not bothered about her head ache. When you’re feared of loss of your love, you’re not bothered of anything happening around the world, you even not able to think about to informing the important persons around you of what has been happened.
Misha reached the hospital, where she saw volunteers still taking the injured of blast victims to the hospital in stretchers. She was now more worried about Arnab as she saw the injured victims. She quickly reached to the reception to know if her Arnab was there or not? Receptionist could not confirm her so she tried by querying about him by what he had worn and how he looked. But receptionist still didn’t get her but a policeman near them who was listened all this, turned to Misha and identified Arnab. “I have interrogated an eye witness about the blast, actually we were thinking that he was a terrorist and he was behind all this as per CCTV footages. But one another witness and a shop keeper, whose shop was near to the temple said that Arnab was daily visitor of the temple with a girl. As we checked him and interrogated him here, we found that he was not guilty. He was stood at a paan’s shop to packing some paans and at that time the bomb was blasted which was fixed in a box which was put on a scooter. He is one of the most severally injured among all and in critical condition, go, he is in ICU at the first floor. He has very less time and he is repeatedly taking the name of Misha. I think it’s you, Go.”
“Yes…, it’s…. me…” Misha’s words were broke and she ran through the corridor to the stairs to reach the ICU. She barely saw the way and people whom she was dodging because of her wet eyes. She was burst out in tears as she was heard he has less time.
She opened the door of ICU. Finally she was in front of him. Misha couldn’t believe what she was seeing right now! He was wounded badly. His whole body covered under the green bed sheet. His palm was covered by white straps. His open forehand and torn shirt was explaining the condition of him. His face was become little blackish. He had worn an oxygen mask. She burst in tears after watching this and fell down. She was like a rose which was scattered. The voice of her crying woke up him. He indicated her to come closer to him. She got up, wipe out her tears, stabled herself and came closer to him, but the tears still rolling down from her eyes. She was not able to stop her tears.
She was stood next to his bed. She gently rubbed his cheeks by her palm and fingers. Again she closed her eyes and cried badly. As he saw that her sweet heart is crying, he removed oxygen mask and hold her hand which is still on his cheeks. She realized his hands on her, she opened her eyes.
“Why you have removed your mask?” She was worried for him.
“It’s not required…” His words were broken but clearly audible for her.
“Please, wear it, for me, I need you…”
“You also know I don’t have much time.” His voice was now very low.
“Shut up, don’t say like that. I need you. I will not let happen anything to you.”
“Misha, I heard what doctors had discussed with policeman, I’ve not much time I know…”
“Don’t say please… I can’t live without you… You will be fine…”
“No Misha, accept it… please for me… So that I can rest in peace, please accept the reality in front of me…”
These words of Arnab increased the flood of tears in Misha’s eyes. She hold his hand by her both hand and sat on the table just beside of his bed. She took his hand near her forehead and cried again.
“Please Misha, Don’t make it difficult for me. I want to spend all my time, whatever left, with you… Please don’t cry…”
“Okay, but keep continue to talk, don’t close your eyes…”
“Misha, Thank god you do not come today with me, at least one of us is safe now…”
“I know why you were stood at that paan’s shop, why you stood there? Can’t you run out quickly to my home? I told you that we will meet. Were you not eager to meet me?”
“You told that you are having heavy head ache. so, I was packing a sweet paan for you. You have always told, do your favorite work or eat your favorite stuff for head ache. And I know you love it.”
“But I love you the most! If you were at home with me, then my head ache will be gone automatically.”
“How could I meet my sweetheart without anything she loved when she’s ill?”
“What ill? It was just a head ache!”
“Misha, leave it…” he cuts her in between. He felt his breath was getting low down slowly. He knows if she get acknowledged about this she will call upon doctors and they can’t talk privately. So he try to convince her to hug him, may be for the last time? “Misha, please hug me… I want to feel you.”
“Be in bed, you need rest.”
“Please, nothing will be happen, please…”
“Okay doesn’t speak much.”
Arnab try to get up from bed but Misha stopped him. She leaned on him to hug him.
“Misha”
“Hmmm…”
“Please don’t blame on god or yourself for whatever happened. And…”
“And?”
“Take care of yourself…”
“OK. Are you feeling fine?”
“Hmmm… I always feel fine when you’re surrounding me.”
“Then I’ll never leave you from my shelter, I will always hold you tightly to never leave you. Whoever wants to steal you from me, I’ll never leave you…” she felt he’s becoming silent now. As soon as she realized this, she tried to detach from him, but he holds her again.
“What?” Arnab queried as he hug her again.
“Why are you become silent?”
“At time you say don’t speak, at time you say why are you silent? What happened to you? I’m with you…” He was now barely connected his broken words. His breath was now going down slowly. Yes, he was dying, but he wants to die in her love’s shelter.
“I told you to speak less… so I could know that you’re woken up.”
“Okay…” A pain came out on Arnab’s face while finishing this word.
“So…” Misha wants to know how he was felling now but she was feeling a little comfortable as he is awakened and talking. She knows his voice was low to audible but she wants to carry on with that. But at the same time Arnab also don’t want to realize her that he is going so far away and any of his words could be the last words spoken by him.
“So say what will we do after I’ll be fine?” he barely completed his sentence and closed his eyes.
“First we will go to the temple so we can pray the god for your good life…” she felt his silence, “Hey, are you listening?” worried expressions came on her face now.
“Hmmm… I love you…” he replied with his closed eyes.
Finally a sweet little smile came on her lips as she heard that and she continued… “Then we will go to the ghat just like we went there every day, to make your evenings more beautiful and romantic. Then we will fulfill our dreams, to get marry. You will finish your college and start a school. I will support you there.” Again she smiled. “We will go there together and…” again she felt silence of him, “Arnab, are you listening?”
This time she didn’t get reply from him. As soon as she detached from him, his hand which was on her back, fell down. She looked at him, his eyes were closed now. She becomes more worried now. She tried to woke him up, “Ar….nab, Arnab… can you listening me? What happened to you?” A flood of sweat arrived on her forehead. She tried to waking him up by patting on her cheeks but he didn’t responded. All of a sudden something strikes on her mind, she slowly put her fingers near her nose, to check whether he is breathing or not? Her guess was right, he wasn’t breathing. She shocked. She shouted to call doctor.
Listening to her shout, doctors and nurses immediately arrived at ICU unit. They quickly checked him up. They push his chest so that may be his heart could start to beat again. But it goes in vein as he said, “The patient is no more… I’m sorry…”
Misha felt like the land below her legs has skipped. She broken internally and cried. She saw him last time and left the ICU room with tears in eyes. As she came out, Arnab’s mother, who was just reached at hospital, asked her, “How is Arnab?” She didn’t reply. She took gaze away from her. Misha’s condition explained everything to Arnab’s mother. She and Arnab’s whole family rushed in ICU room. Soon the unbearable voice of crying came out from there, which can melt any Hitler’s heart. Today, whole hospital listening these voices, but every family has its own story and own pain.
Misha stayed whole night at Arnab’s home, as all of his relatives were arriving to see him last time. She became quite from his death. She didn’t utter any word since she left from ICU. She was stunned; tears didn’t stop from her eyes. People said her to let her pain throw out, but she didn’t do it. She stayed there till his funeral.
* * *
Next day, Misha was at her home. Her mother tried to convince her to eat something, but she didn’t eat. Her family was now worried about her more. She was sinking. She slept in afternoon in the thought of her lost love. She wake up at evening as she glimpsed that someone calling her. She quickly checked the phone but no one had called her. It was regular time of calling her by Arnab, when she get glimpse. Her face which was just glown up little bit, then again fell down. Her mother also arrived at her room at just that time. She sit next to her and said, “Are you OK now?”
She just nodded in reply.
“Go out for a walk, the fresh air will throw out your mental stress.”
Again she nodded to reply her.
“And keep talking to us. If you stay quite like this, you could not come out of this trauma.”
“Okay mumma…”
“Take Arjun with you, I can’t send you alone right now.”
“Okay mumma I’ll take him.” She was talking but interest-less.
Later in the evening, she and her brother Arjun walked to Dashashwamedh ghat. When they reached near temple, policemen and other officials were investigating there. The area, where the blast took place, was cordoned. She looked at the paan’s shop, where Arnab was stopped. The shop was demolished. Just two days before when she came with Arnab, this place was fully crowded. Today there was a very low crowd compare to the two days before. Say a dead silence surrounded at that place. The shop keepers, which have their shops there, were opened from today but the fear was clearly visible on their faces. Suddenly a flower vendor rushed to her, “Misha ji, I have listened about Arnab bhaiyya. I know what you are feeling right now because I have also lost my son in that blast.”
Misha’s eye brows rise as she heard this. He was the same flower vendor from whom they collect flowers for worshipping. She felt so sad for him. She asked, “How, he became victim of this? We always used to collect flowers from you.”
“Actually, me and my younger son were at home yesterday. I was suffering from high fever, so I had sent my elder son here. As we acknowledged about blast, I rushed to here. I was informed that the injured were taken to the hospital, so we ran there. When we reach there, he was in critical condition and at midnight he took his last breath in front of us.” And his eyes were become wet. “I’m going home… take care of yourself.”
Misha nodded as he left. Soon they reached to ghat. Today, very less crowd was there at the Ganga Aarti. She and Arjun sit there at near steps. Arjun was enjoying Aarti at there, where Misha again fell in the thoughts. How they used to sit together like this and talk about how their day passed! How they hold each other’s hands and listening the Ganga Aarti! All that sweet memories framed in front of her eyes and scattered in just a moment. Her eyes were wet again. Flood of questions was hammering in her mind. What was the fault of that flower vendor’s son? What was the fault of his Arnab? Did that just he believe in the god after her interference? Did god hates me just because of me he came to the temple? If god has given him the punishment for loving me madly, for taking my name in his worships, for being the reason of my life? She wasn’t listening the aarti, she was battling with her own mind. As the aarti finished on ghat, Arjun said, “It’s over, let’s leave.”
She didn’t hear that. As Arjun stood up and still she didn’t, he patted on her shoulder and said, “Where you lost? Come on let’s leave.” And give his hand to stand up. She holds his hand and stood up. She again lost in memories, how every time her Arnab used to give his hand to her! She requested her brother, “Please, give me two minutes.”
“What? I can’t leave you alone. Where will I search you if you go anywhere?” Arjun shocked.
“Please, give me two minutes, you go up, I will be there in two minutes. Please.” She requested.
Little Arjun foxed by her and he started to climb the stairs. She looked him climbing and turned to the river. She started to walk towards a dark place. Arjun, during climbing, realized something and turn back. He didn’t found her. He quickly ran there, where he left her for two minutes. He didn’t found her there. He moved his head here and there in search for her, but it goes in vain. He was seriously worried now about her, because he knows her condition. He started to query to nearby peoples but none of person has seen her. He then gone near to that dark place and asks the boat keepers about her. As he was inquiring them, they suddenly heard some sound, like something has fall in river. He feared. The boat keepers dive in the river immediately. Seeing his worried face, people who was around him, were called police. The police called expert swimmers. They also dive in. Five minutes later, they found someone. The boat keepers and Arjun’s fear came true. They found Misha had tryied to suicide. They immediately take her to hospital and Arjun called the parents. After checking her, doctors told them some heavy thing has hit her head and her lungs are filled up with water. Until she again gain her conscious her condition will remain critical.

Five Days Later…
* * *
She opened her eyes. She was lying on a bed and covered under green bed sheet. She looked around. There was a clock showing time of 11 o’clock. A window was showing the dark sky. Her mother was sitting just next to her on the table. Her head was down on her bed and she was taking rest. She tried to get up from the bed. This disturbed her mother’s sleep and she woke up. She became happy as she saw her daughter is waken up and is out of danger now. She gone out and called her father, her father called doctor. Doctor and nurse checked her, “She is out of danger now, her body is responding now. But take care of her. Make happy her.” “Okay” her father responded. As doctor and staff left the room, her mother questioned her, “Now you feeling better?”
“Hmmm” She responded and sit on bed carefully.
Arjun was standing behind her mother. He came close of her and said, “Now I will not go anywhere with you. Did you know how much you scared me? If anything were happen to you then?”
She looked at him and moves her head down.
Her father asked her, “Have your leg slipped or someone push you in the river?”
“I had committed suicide.” She bluntly responded.
“Why?” her mother asked.
“I don’t want to live!” again she responded bluntly and her head was still down.
“Just because of Arnab has died?” her father asked.
“Why should I live without him? He was my life! I can’t forget him. All day I was just thinking of him. When I slept he was in front of my eyes. When I woke up he goes miles away from me. I… I just can’t forget him.” And her dry eyes became wet.
“”Yes, actually you are right!” her mother said, “Why should you live? So how will you die next time? May I give you the poison? Or…”
Her father cuts her, “What are you telling? We know how her condition is!” he tries to sympathies her putting his hands on her shoulder.
“So what should I say?” a big tear rolled down from her eye, “We are insane, who awakened for her five nights and not leave her any single moment alone in that hope of she will get her consciousness!” An anger of care burst out from her, “Come on tell me when can I give you the poison?” How a mother could see her child to die? Actually none of any person could see the death of their loved ones. How can they? The same thing was happening here. At one side, Misha lost his love already and on the other side there was a mother, who doesn’t want to lose her young child. Listening to her mother’s words she burst out in cry. Her mother sits next to her and hugged her. Rubbing her back, she explained her daughter, “Not any one could forget someone in just one day. It takes some time. Don’t lose from the life, it’s still so long journey for you. Accept the reality, I know it will be difficult for you but we will help you, support you to come out from this. You live your life on your condition whatever it is, but please live !”
“Give me some time, mumma. I will try.” she responded.
“Take your time beta… You have all time in the world but you have to promise me tomorrow that you will live and will not take any stupid decision like this! Arnab’s mother wants to meet you; I will call her tomorrow morning.”
“Okay mumma. Now I want to sleep. Could I?”
“Sure… Sleep.” And she helped her to lying on bed.
She saw her father and brother’s wet eyes. She worried for them, “Dad, you and Arjun can go home. Take rest. I just need mumma.”
“No, Two persons will definitely stay here! Who will give the guarantee of yours that you don’t do what you do when I was with you?” Arjun tries to settle down the heavy atmosphere.
“At least don’t tease here her.” Her mother told him and sees her daughter smiling.
“See finally she smiled!” seeing her smiling, Arjun and her parents became happy.
“Achchha baba, now go and let her take rest.” Her mother told him.
“No, I will not move from here until she doesn’t tell me.” He chuckled.
“Okay baba, I’ll not do that. Now will you leave or I should touch your feet for that?” she chuckled back.
“As you wish!” He winked at her.
“Shut up and let me sleep.”
“Now that’s like my sister. Love you…” and he bent down to kiss her cheek. “Now please don’t try to go away from us. We need you.”
“Okay” she nodded.
Soon they have left for home. She was trying to sleep but it was gone far away from her. She was in deep thought, what now? What could be the goal of my life? What will help me to be strong enough and reason of life? She was thinking and slept in almost early morning, say 3 or 4 a.m.!
At morning Arnab’s mother arrived to the hospital to meet her. She meets her and said, “When I heard about you, like your mother, I was also worried for you. I have lost my son but I can’t lose a daughter now. Live for him. If god wants, they can kill you with him at there but on that day you stayed at home. You tried to suicide but you survived, these are the indications that god wants you to live. Now please don’t do any stupid things like this and don’t trouble your parents.”
“Okay aunty, Can I request you something?” She gently asked.
“I can’t fight with his memories; can I come to your home to stay with you? And can I call you Mumma?”
“I told you, you are my daughter. So why are you asking this? And that home is equally yours as Arnab’s. So anytime you can come home. Who is stopping you?”
“I want to tell you something.”
“What?” her mother questioned her.
“I will not marry to anyone.” She explained.
Her mother and Arnab’s mother shocked, they looked at each other. Arnab’s mother approached her, “Life can’t spent alone. You have all of your life in front of you. Please don’t make any decision in hurry.”
“Aunty please, I have decided. Don’t pressurize me, I will not do this type of stupid thing in future but I can’t marry anyone.”
After some days she was discharged from the hospital. She resumed the college to finish her remaining study.

Five Years Later… (At Present Day…)
* * *
Misha was lying on her bed in her room, reading an invitation letter repeatedly. It was about BHU’s (Banaras Hindu University) annual function and she was invited as a chief guest of it. She is now a successful author of three novels and became a sensation in Varanasi. So she was invited for giving a motivational speech to the students.
Today she come to her home. She lives at both of her home, one is her own and another is Arnab’s. His memories bothered her but any how she diverts her mind to the studies. But once she finished her study, his memories again started to tolerates her. She can’t get out of it. One fine day, just for getting out the mental stress and how she feels, she started writing. She wrote how they were together, then how they were separated, how she felt when they separated, the suicide incident and her present life. When she was writing these, one of the friend from her college arrived to meet her. She knows about these all things happened to her, but she was shocked as she read it. She suggested her to submit it in a publication house. She sent it, they approved it and on the release, it became national best seller. She finally got her goal in her life, “writing”. She then narrated another two stories which became national heart throb. She became famous novelist, columnist, poet and blogger. So as she is from Varanasi and become youth icon, she is invited by BHU.
She checked her clock, it shows time, 5 a.m.! It’s not like his memories were stopped since she became author but now she gets inspiration and story-platform from there. And today, again she falls in the memories of him.
Suddenly someone knocked her door and enter in the room. She can’t see the person in the dim light. But as he came closer she quickly reminds him, how she can forget him? He is his Arnab! She quickly jumped off from bed and hugs him tightly. A tear rolls down from her eyes as he holds her tightly. “Where the hell have you gone? I was dying every day, did you know that?”
“Hmmm… I know how you suffered. But you forgot one thing, I am always with you. See.” He detaches from her and holds her locket which was gifted by him on her birthday. He opens the locket and shows her. The locket contains an image of them holding each other. She sees it and become happy, “Yes, you are right. You’re not gone away, it’s me who gone away…”
“Aah… Come on don’t say that. First tell me why you were not taking care of yourself and don’t ate at night?”
“So you can come, taking care of me on behalf of mine and fed me with your hands.” And her sad face blossomed.
“Misha…” his happy face turn out to worried face, “I will not available with you every time. And today also I don’t have much time.”
“Don’t say that. This time I’ll not let you go.” she put her palm on his lips.
He gently removes her palm, kisses on it and said, “Not everything has written in our destiny that we loved. This is how we, far away from each other but our love still alive, by you and from you. If you don’t take care of yourself then how can our love will alive?”
“I don’t know all these, but the only thing I know is that I love you. And I will take care of myself but you have to promise me something!”
“Again promise?”
“Yes”
“Tell, which promise?”
“Whenever I feel bad and your memories tolerate me, you will come to meet me always like this.”
“Ohhh… I will try.”
“Whoa, I want a promise and you say you will try? Go, I don’t want to talk to you…” and she turns to opposite side.
He knows how to convince her, he hold her shoulder and said, “Misha… Don’t behave like a child. I don’t have much time. Please, eat your favorite Pulaav, I stole it from your kitchen.”
“No, First promise me then only I’ll eat. Otherwise you go.” She shakes herself to fell down his hand.
“Really? Okay, I’m going…” and he turns to start walk.
“Arnab!” She quickly turns and holds his hand. She turns him to see him face to face and said, “Can’t you make a promise to me? I can’t live without you. I can be strong in front of this world but indeed I always need you.” She slowly tilts her head to his chest, near his heart.
“Okay baba, I promise you, I will be here whenever you need me. Okay? Now please eat and also fed me. I’m also hungry.” He gently rubbed her back and sit on her bed. She also sits on bed and he fed the first bite of Pulaav by spoon to her. She then takes the spoon from him and fed him. They eat together and then lie on bed. She put her head on his chest. He moves his finger on her head, playing with her hair. She said, “Arnab, I wish, never happen morning of this night. We lie just like this and whole life of us passes.”
“Even I wish… But this can’t happen. And the bitter truth is we both know it.”
She realizes someone is knocking the door. Arnab get off and said, “It’s time to leave now. Take care of yourself. I will come to meet you again…” She bent down and kiss on her cheek.
She holds his hand, “can’t you stay more, please?”
“No, I have to go…” he said and smiles.
She realized her mother is now trying to waking her up. She opened her eyes and his Arnab goes far away again. Her dream was broken. Her mother said as she rubbing her eyes, “Do you want to go late in the event?”
“No… I just slept around 5 a.m. I need to sleep more…” She said in sleepy tone. The best voice anyone can hear is of girl’s laugh or of girl’s sleepy voice!
“Then you will be responsible if you went late there. Don’t blame on me.” Her mother warned her.
