We have to be careful until right time comes. She too agreed back at home.
Deepika snapped and asked her: Bondita..where are you? Come into sense
Bondita: Sorry Deepika
Deepika: By the way you didn't reply us about you . Are you Bengali or from Andhrapradesh
Bondita: my father kept this name. I don't remember well but he used to say that our elders were used to stay in Bengal for many years we and so kept this name. Even I am born in Calcutta
Abhijoy who is beside their row bench Listened this and came forward with exciting voice: Hey are you from Bengal? Even I am also from Bengal. Nice meeting you Bondita..I am Abhijoy and forwarded his hand for handshake
Bondita casually gave handshake and wished : Hi Abhijoy and she too gave handshake but his grip is tightened didn't leave her hand immediately. And his nails were slightly piercing her
She remembered her bava lesson of good touch and bad touch. And thought why is he not leaving me.
At first She tried to remove her hand telling excuse me but he didn't leave and asked her : I am so happy to find a Bengali friend here. Really fed up of these other state boys you can ask me whatever help you want . Where do your ancestors used to stay in Bengal Bondu?
Bondita became serious and jerked away her hand forcely and told : See Abhijoy ! . Belonging to one state doesn't mean that you can be touchy touchy with me. True friendship doesn't look about place it only needs honesty and truthfulness
.By the way I am not Bondu...my Name is Bondita. Unless I believe persons I can't give lenience to anyone to call me with nicknames. so if you please excuse me I will go and sit and went back to her seat and sat furiously
