Monojit and I officially came into relationship. He helped me a lot to overcome my situation. He is a damn great guy. We got to know each other well over the course of time. Our family knew about us and were happy for us.

********

After 8months,
It is beginning of the month November. Days were going good. The past weeks went by the Durga Puja.

It is 10th November,
I sat at my desk at college going through some of the assignments and files. My WhatsApp pinged. At first I didn't pay much attention but then as the mobile rang many times, I got irritated and took it in my palm to switch off the mobile data. I saw there was message from an unknown number saying 'Hi! Remember me?'
I saw it from the notification bar and ignored it. In the evening, after returning to home I checked on every pending message.
At last with no interest I opened the message from the unknown number.

"Who?" I replied. Then I clicked on the profile picture to get it in big size over the screen.

OMG! WHAT! SERIOUSLY???
My heart skipped a beat.
I pinched myself... rubbed my eyes.... slapped my cheek.....
PRANZAL!!!!!!!
WHAT THE FUCK! WHERE DID HE GET MY NUMBER!! OUT OF NOWHERE HE APPEARED ON MY WHATSAPP!!!

My hands trembled my fingers resisted to type...

"Is it Pranzal?" I left this message and switched off my mobile data.

Once again i stumbled over the past from which I ran away. WHY?? My mind crashed in those school time memories... ARRGHHH... NO.... I really don't want it.
Yet another question arised "DID I REALLY MOVE ON?"

I know I have to face this situation. And truly.. I want Monojit to be out of this. I want to test myself. Ok.. After whatever shall happen I will tell him. But not now I want to face it alone.

I am so confused again.. how should I react?? How??

Lying on the bed after the dinner, I took a deep breath and switched on my net.
*Ting**Ting**Ting*

I opened that unknown number's message.

"Yes I am Pranazal.. How are you Pritha. It's been so long after school days" read the message
I saved the number. And he showed online now.

I- I am good. What about you? Yes! It's been long time.

Pranzal- I am good. What are you doing recently?

I- I am a college professor at Kolkata.

Pranzal- Oh! Nice

I- What about you?

Pranzal- I am a professional photographer.

I- Oh nice. But how did you get my phone number?

Pranzal- Its a long story! Let's meet on a coffee and we shall talk there.

I- okay. When?

Pranzal- This weekend?

I- Actually I am a bit busy this weekend. 14th... Monday??

Pranzal- ok cool! Cafe Coffee Day.

I- Okay! 5:30?

Pranzal- okay! good night!!
