Love is round the corner

Unveiling the mystery

At 5 in the morning when the entire city was sleeping peacefully, a boy of about 14 years wearing loose army pants & a white T-shirt was going from one house to another on his cycle throwing newspapers. When he reached the Bose Villa he dropped a copy of The Times of India & paddled away.

A girl came out towards the main entrance of the house where the guard handed her few letters & the newspaper. "Didi Ye letter aapke liye hai". The girl took it & gently opened the envelope, it was addressed to Sonali. For RJ Sonali it was a treat to read fan mails & fan letters for her. There were 3 more letters one for Ele & another for Bijoy. The last letter didn't specify for who it was. Sonali opened the envelope & what she saw made her stand still for a while. Her eyes turned furiously red

"Dada... Baba" She called out

Bijoy & Sourabh paced down the steps hurriedly.

"Kya hua Shona beta?" Bijoy asked

Sona showed the paper cuttings which came with the envelope. They read

11 civilians killed in naxalists-forces rage.

"Did we attack their headquarters at Durganagar?" Sona asked gritting her teeth trying hard to maintain her calm & tone while talking to the two most important men of her life but was failing miserably.

"We did" Sourabh tried explaining " But no civilian was killed"

"The newspaper has the report dada" Sona said. The rage was being overshadowed by her despair " We could have talked about it before."

"I tried calling you" Elena who had come down now said. " Dada didn't allow"

"We just wanted your safety Sona" Bijoy said on behalf of Sourabh

Sonali sat down on the sofa with her hands in her hair & her head held down in complete melancholy.
"We had to solve things with our method. Some patience is all I asked for. "

"Kichu Bhaiya apne Sona ko dekha kya? " Dev asked Kichu Bhaiya who was cleaning the table after the lunch

"Doctor didi beach side pe gayi hain. Kuch kaam tha?" Kichu Bhaiya replied

Freshly fallen in love Dev walked out of the hall towards the backyard which opened to the sea

"Sonakshi" Dev called her. She was sitting in with a blank expression. Dev's voice didn't register in her head. So he went close to her. "Kya baat hai?"

"Kuch nahi" Sona said blankly

"Kuch to hua hai ... Kuch ho gaya hai"

"Bahut gaane sunane lagein hain Mr Dixit"

"Sab aapka asar hai Ms Bose"

"Cheesy... cheesy..." Sona giggled

"Excuse me... I was praising you" Dev made a puppy face

"Thank You & Aur kaunse changes laayein hain maine aapki life mein?" Sona cocked an eyebrow

"Sonali"

"Huh? "

"I mean Sonali ka show"

"Bahut Pasand hai Sonali? "

"I just love Sona"

"Sona loves you too ... I mean all her listeners "

"Huh? Do you know her? "
