Meeting With The Past

Next Day Morning :

Sun rays fall on Anant face and he slowly opened his eyes and saw that he was sleeping at the balcony, he sat while supporting his back at the recliner . When he suddenly heard Pankhuri voice calling him and knocking at his room door.

Pankhuri - Anant have you woken up from sleep?

Anant immediately rush towards his room door and opened it and saw that his love Pankhuri is standing wearing a simple blue colour gown dupatta hanging around her neck with a open hair her eye's are highlighted with kajal and lips are shining due to lip gloss with no makeup on her face looking like an angel she's truly an epitome of beauty a natural beauty. Anant is ogling her without blinking his eyes. Pankhuri cheeks turned tomato red seeing his intense gazed. But she somehow managed to hide her blush and snapped her fingers infront of his face. Due to which Anant came out of his la la la land and he got embarassed.

Anant (while fumbling with words) - Pankhuri woh actually woh.

Pankhuri to manage the situation immediately spoke

Pankhuri - What's this Anant? You are not ready yet, we are getting late for office.

Anant saw towards clock and wided his eyes and said "oh no just give me 5 minutes I just came back by freshen up" saying this he run towards the bathroom not before taking his clothes and towel from the cupboard.

Anant came to the hall wearing his office attire and saw that Pankhuri is placing breakfast on the table.

Anant - Pankhuri Why are you doing all this ? Where's Maanyata ?

Pankhuri - Maanyata have a guest lecture at her college today at the morning, so he left after having a breakfast. Now you come and sit, let's have our breakfast or else we will be late for office. I made your favorite Kheer, I am bringing that from the kitchen.

Saying this she about to move towards the kitchen when Anant stop her.

Anant - Pankhuri How many times I told you that in such condition not to work in a kitchen for long time. I also asked you to take maternity leave from the office but you are so adamant to not took a leave. You do not listen even a single words of mine. Now you sit here and start having breakfast, I would bring the kheer. (Saying this he went inside the kitchen)

Pankhuri POV:

"I know Anant I should stay at home in this condition but What should I do ? if I stay at home alone I would again started remembering the past which I want to forget completely .But it seems impossible. That is why I keep myself busy in office work so that my past doesn't haunt me".

On The Other Side At at Kolkata:

A woman in her late 40's is standing near the window while holding a Pankhuri photo frame in her hand. While seeing the the photo her tears are flowing continuously.

Woman POV :

"Where are you Pari? why have you left your mother and not once thought how your mother would be without you. What will be her condition. you just wrote a letter where you mentioned that you want to go far away from here because you don't want your maa and papa relationship get broken because of you, you even don't want someone to raised there fingers at your maa upbringing so you are leaving this city and also you do not even want me to find you after your departure. why you did this Pari? why you left me and went away? I have been looking for you since the last 9 months but nothing is known about you yet. I asked from all your friends but nobody knows anything about you. Your mother has full faith in you and will always be Pari that you did not do all that, someone had trapped you 9 months back. Just once you come back, then together we will find out who he/she is and will punished him/ her severely".
