"Urghh stop it!kakumoni,how can you listen to the same song every morning?"shouted Ayantika with her half woken voice!..
"Now wake up it's already 7am, you have online classes and then a group study with your cousins nah?And listen today I am going to make you understand that mechanics part,you people are very bad at this" said kakumoni,ignoring the song debate.
It's kakumoni,a bachelor,IITan,Ayantika's father's young brother(I mean one of them) he have been her reminder every morning since his college closed! "It's always been a bad start of my day!Why don't you go back!!I hate you,kakumoni!" said Ayantika by throwing her pillow down,with a little smile because every single corner of her dwelling knew how much she loved him,her cousins,grandparents,aunties, uncles and her dear parents!She loved every single walls of the old big bunglow,while in every single step there was essence of lovingness, memories,and what's not? Finally she woke up drank water,phoned her parents and sat down in front of her laptop. Thank God that there's a option to switch off the mic and front camera during online classes!Otherwise we would come to know about different types of Annabelles out there every morning!
After finishing up her classes along with a luchi and ghugni (Bengali dish) she balanced all the thick books and somehow landed in the common study room where all her cousins were already waiting for her. She sat down and started enjoying the best part of her day! She was happy to be a part of the family where there was a story to tell to her friends,she loved to amaze them by telling stories of her family,as every single brick of her bungalow was telling stories since the family built simultaneously with the bungalow!She shared some updates with her parents about her day!
After studying mechanics with kakumoni,she ran out of that room followed by her cousins,which led to their grandparents common room where only Ayantika's grandma lived,like every other family she might have lost them,many of them but they will always remain among them(hey!!let's not talk about that don't you see everyone is getting poignant because of you!Please stop it for now I will tell you when it would rain..so that rain will wash away sorrows with them deep down the earth). As they have to discuss their duty for the traditional Durga puja at home, it's been 105th year of their celebration. Every year many people from other side of Kolkata join them..some known..some unknown faces!! But sadly this year only their family members will be allowed to participate in the pujo! After disscussion chordi-bhai said "Can we please call our friends!? Please nah!" everyone exclaimed "Yes please!!" from no where kakumoni said "no" and finally after a great debate with team A (kakumoni and our grandma) we won (I mean Ayantika and her cousins) by having a treaty!
Ayantika was happy for the fact that only some close friends are allowed,that means Arnish is also allowed to come!! After all their parents came back to home we discussed about the essentials with a cup of tea served by Ramu kaka.
She stepped outside towards the balcony with the cup of tea with a half dipped biscuit, she opened her hair her eyes were looking for someone. "Ayin" a very known desired voice called her! She moved her big beautiful eyes towards that voice..
