Anirudh's POV
"Hey Monorama. Early morning in my office. Anything wrong?"
"No not like that. I've come to meet with Bondita."
"But she yet not come. And her duty is in afternoon. "
"Dada, today she won't come because of her class test." Som added.
"Omg, she will not come. How will your dada live today." Telling it Monorama looks at Anirudh in kidding look.
"What?"
"Anirudh, tell me frankly don't you like Bondita?"
"Monorama, you know...."
"Anirudh I'm telling 'like' not 'love'. You just answer yes/not."
Anirudh looking down not saying anything.
"Anirudh silence means acceptance. I mean your answer is yes."
Anirudh still silent.
"Do you know how much I love you and how many years?"
Anirudh looks at Monorama being surprised. What she is telling. Anirudh never hear this from Monorama.
"Are you surprised Anirudh Roy Chowdhury? "
"Monorama...."
"Anirudh let me tell today. We are friends from 5 years. How many school you changed I also. I didn’t have interest in engineering but only for you I studied. When you said that you love Soudamini I accept it cause it was your happiness. Your happiness is my happiness. I believe love means your lover's happiness. Now if you tell you love Bondita I also accept it cause you will be happy with her. But Anirudh I also think about your happiness. Do you think about my happiness? Do you think about my feelings? No,you don't."
"Monorama..."
"No Anirudh I don't want to hear any word from you. Everyone is not important to everyone. You are very important to me. But I'm not. And for it I'm not unhappy. How many people can get chance to get a friend like you? In every step you helped me a lot. Thank you for that."
"Monorama, I'm really sorry."
"Anirudh no need to say sorry. You was right from your side. I also. By the way, I forget to tell you the main topic for what I have come."
"Meeting with Bondita?"
"Hm it Was. But have another issue. "
"What?"
"Close your eyes."
"Any gift..."
"Close,please."
Anirudh close his eyes. Monorama gives him a card on her hand.
"Now open."
"What is this.....wedding invitation card. Whose?"
"Read..."
"Your...?? What a surprised news! Congratulations!"
"Som,you are also invited. To save money I've given you one card for three brothers and one card to uncle. Papa will give it to him. Tell Batuk. And...."
"And?"
"If possible tell Bondita. Can't meet today. But want to see her how beautiful she is..."
"Monorama di. I think she won't accept it cause next month she will seat for her prose."
"Ok waiting for see Bondita Roy Chowdhury. Can't see Soudamini Roy Chowdhury. But must see Bondita Roy Chowdhury. Please Anirudh not let her be other's. "
"Monorama, what are you thinking it's not like this. Yes I like her but not love. She is a very herd working and talented girl."
"Anirudh you also like Soudamini not love. But who can say God of love will throw his arrow to which pair. "
"Di, I also telling him about it. But failed to understand him."
"No problem time will say, Som. Your dada only believe in time."
Talking with Som Monorama leave. Anirudh is thinking, he has said Bondita to visit Victoria Memorial with him. But she doesn't say anything. She was silent. Today is Friday. Sunday is weekend. Will she come? Today she will not come. Tomorrow she will come but Anirudh will not here. He has to come Purbo Mehdinipur for their family business. He is feeling hesitation to ask her over phone.
"Time will say, Will she come or not."
Bondita's POV
"Which sharee is better? This red one or blue one?" Bondita is asking to her room mate.
"At first tell me where are you going? With whom? If with a male person then for the 1st time or as usual?"
"Is it related with the colour of sharee?"
"Obviously."
"Going to Victoria with Ani da."
"Ani da means your office boss. Then wear your casual dress."
"Am I going office? And today is weekend. I wear sharee. Tell me 1st or I'm will go another room to ask."
"Hey stupid , 1 min...if you go another room they will definitely think you are going to meet your boyfriend. Ummm.....blue one is better. "
"I also think so."
"Wear it...I'll help you to do makeup."
"Make up? Am I going to attend any wedding ceremony? "
"Uff...make up means proper hair style, looking decent."
"Okey..."
Author's POV
Anirudh is waiting in his office room from 6am. He can't sleep properly last night. Anirudh is in blue-white T-shirt. He is feeling like he is waiting for thousands century. Einstein said, ❝If you sit beside a beautiful woman for 5 hrs you feel that it's 5 mins and if you sit beside fire for 5 min, it will be felt 5 hrs. It is theory of relativity. ❞ Today Anirudh is feeling another example of theory of relativity. 2 hrs equal to 2 century. It's 8 am. Suddenly calling bell is rang. Today non of any employees will come except Bondita. Som may come. But no chance. He will wake up at 10am today. Then who has come. "Bondita?" with little confusion he is going towards the door.
Yes Bondita. Anirudh is surprised to see her. Is this that Bondita whom he saw last day. Bondita is also surprised to see him this blue-white combination. Coincidence.... But that much.
Anirudh is looking at her. Blue sharee, black 'tip' on forhead, beautiful hairstyle, blue-black Bangles, light red lip stick. Very normal make up but looking very extraordinary.
"Good morning, Bondita devi."
"Ha ha ha....Anirudh Babu, can we go?"
"Sure, but not through car. By walking. Kolkata should see the beauty of nature."
"Beauty of nature?"
"I mean natural Beauty. "
"Okey let's go."
It's a idea to spend more time with Bondita and to pay all attention towards her.
Sorry for late. As Ramadan is going on that’s why get less time.
