Bijoy "I am telling you it is a worst idea?"
Asha "You are going ,lets see what Dev has to offer."
Bijoy "It would be more stupid like him . That man have nothing to offer some one peace."
Bijoy "It would be something to irritate me more."
Asha "He will do nothing of that sort Soha is coming along with you ."
Bijoy "So soha can stop him from doing anything stupid and reckless."
Asha "And also stop you both from drinking again."
Bijoy "It was all your mistake."
Asha "You have to go now with Dev or we will find you a class to join . You can have group outs with all your retired mates."
Bijoy "That would be a good idea."
Asha "Then I will start searching for it in few minutes but you have to go for now. If not Soha would be going out along with Dev alone."
Bijoy "Ok I am going only for my grand daughter .I am sure it would be as disappointing as he is."
Soha "I am ready ."
Dev "Ok let us wait outside ,till your grandpa come."
Bijoy "See that man he don't even have the decency to enquire about me ."
Sona "Ma do you seriously think we should be sending this two together ."
Sona "Father can never be relaxed with him."
Asha "He told right he won't bother him at all he will stay in different corner."
Sona "Did he tell you what exactly is that place.I hope its not another bar."
Asha "Obviously Dev is not stupid to take Soha along for same."
Asha "He told ,he used to go to that place to relax."
Sona "I don't know of any such place ."
Asha "May be it is after you,."
Sona "I don't care . But if anything happens to father I will screw him ."
Dev "I guess I forgot to write a bond for it ,I will write it now if you have any to spare."
Bijoy "You said you will wait in car."
Dev "I forgot a water bottle.."
Bijoy "Don't you have water in that place ."
Dev "I sure have."
Dev "Are you coming or not ? or should I leave with Suha alone."
Bijoy "I am coming . I will what that place is ."
As Bijoy left ,
Sona "I will see where they are going."
Asha "Are you going too?"
Sona "I will track their mobile."
Soha "Papa where are we going ?"
Dev "My house."
Soha "To meet dadi."
Dev "Not that house another house ? I stay thee alone ."
Bijoy "Where is it?"
Dev "Nearby 20 minutes from now."
They were there in that house it was huge house with high walls surrounding the compound its huge compound they can see nothing inside. Dev stoped nearby gate and parked it outside.
Bijoy "Is there no parking inside?"
Dev "Only for two wheelers. I guess we are not in one."
Bijoy "Pathetic."
Soha "Papa there is no watch man at gate how can we go inside?"
Dev "I didn't employ any ."
As they reached the gate they found the numerical lock.
Dev "It is password protected ." he said opening the gate entering the numbers.
Bijoy "What is password?"
Dev "1123581321."
Soha "Papa who will remember this code?"
Dev "Easy .Its a Fibonacci."
Dev "Remember first two numbers 11 add those two you will get?"
Soha "2 ."
Dev "NOW 112."
Dev "What is last number before 2." ."
Soha "1 ."
Dev "2 +1 ."
Soha "3."
Dev "Now 1123."
Dev "What is last number before 3."
Soha "2 +3."
Dev "Good."
Soha "5 . 11235 ."
Dev "Next 8 ."and then 13 and 21."
Dev "Final number 1123581321."
Soha "It is easy."
Bijoy "Too easy any one can trace this."
Soha "Papa I will open."
Dev took Soha in her arms so that she can enter the number again and she did it delighted..
As then entered inside Dev closed the gate. Inside the compound the place is an heaven.
Filled with greenery.
Dev "Follow me." Led them over foot over bridge a wooden one .It was a rough made .It led them directly to top of the building in the middle.
Soha "Papa it is a park."
Dev "Something like that but personal."
Soha "It is very beautiful."
Bijoy "Why is this foot over bridge here?"
Dev "It will bring you directly to house .From here it would be easy to go every where ."
Dev "One minute I will be back."
He went inside house and came back in shorts and a different t shirt.
Soha "Papa you changed ."
Dev "It is my work costume ."
Dev "Mr Bose you can look around here it is calm and peaceful no one will come here."
Dev "Soha come along I will show you this place."
Dev "Remove your slippers ."
Bijoy looked at Dev surprised .Then looking at him he realized Dev also left his footwear inside.
Both Bijoy and Soha left their foot wear and Dev took Soha in his arms
Bijoy "Did you hire a gardener ?"
Dev "For this place ?"
Bijoy "yes?"
Dev "No ,I did it all myself even the foot board I made it myself."
Soha was in awe.He took them to the small artificial stream .
Soha "Papa what is this."
Dev "come here " saying that he made her sit on the side of stream as water touching their feet.
Soha was elated with the touch of cold water.
Dev "It is to maintain water cool and continuous flow.We circulate it so always fresh water is flowing and maintains cooling here."
Soha "What will happen to water ?"
Dev "They will recycle and re flow."
As Soha was speaking suddenly she raised in jerk.
Dev "Soha nothing to worry ? They are fishes ."
Dev "Not for eating though." Laughing at his own joke.
Dev "Keep your legs steady they will just give you ..." As dev was searching for words.
Bijoy "Massage."
Dev "Massage."
As Bijoy was feeling fresh water and hence fresh air surrounded by greenery it was peaceful and tiny fish are doing some magic .
Dev left them there and was checking around inspecting each plant.Bijoy saw him going over foot board to other side of stream and inspecting something on ground.
Soha was done with the fish and she started running around there are many plants around in various rows and columns few big trees to in some places.
Dev "Soha stay in single place don't move ." Dev was heard shouting from other side.
Dev came there quickly running.
Dev "Soha there are thornes for few plants you should stay away or you will get yourself hurt."
Soha just nodded silently "Papa you are going?"
Dev "I know about every plant here ,you are new right."
Soha "Papa mangoes?" she said pointing to the tree behind the house .
All trees are not visible from single spot .only place too look whole place at a time is terrace of house.
Dev "I will cut few when we are going back .Ok ."
Suha just nodded as Bijoy came there with few handful of mangoes .
Bijoy "Suha come hear we will eat mangoes?"
Dev "Did you cut them from my tree?" I don't know what expression should I call it but you are supposed to laugh at situation.
Bijoy with some other awkward face " No they fell down."
Dev looked puzzled .
Bijoy "Do you want some ?" offering a juicy one.
Dev "Thanks.You guys eat inside house ,there are few vessels inside make yourself comfortable. "
Dev "I have some work I will be back in some time."
Dev led them inside and he took some instruments from a hardware room and went out as both Soha and her grand father are enjoying juicy mangoes .
Bijoy can see outside Dev was attending some plants and cutting away the dried leaves carefully and spraying some of them with medicines.He looked lot patient doing that.Then he was slowly lifting a twig by twig of fallen leaves and things and mving them to garbage box he kept by every row.
After almost half and hour they came outside and dev was yet doing the same he was occupied in it .
Bijoy "It woud be better if you sweep the place than lifting it one by one."
Dev "I like it this way ."
Bijoy "You are wasting lot of time on a single plant this way."
Dev "All I have is time and I am spending it correctly." His hands were as gentle as they can be .
Dev "Some one told me plants have feelings too . I am just responding to them by giving them enough ."
Bijoy "You know humans have feeling too."
Dev know what is this potshot for.
Suha "Papa there are so many so many plants. "
Dev " 5826 exact not counting 8 trees , ya four are mangoes ."
Suha "I love mangoes ."
Dev "Even I love mangoes too."
Suha "Papa you planted all of them."
Dev "Trees couple I planted others were transferred along with roots ,plants I planted all of them."
She was in awe.
Dev "Come I will show you few ." he took her to walls and made her touch small ones in ground which closed automatically with touch.
Dev "Touch me not plants ,they will close when some one touch them."
Suha was touching all of them to check all are fine or not ,oh they are.
He gave her another round telling (as she was in his arms.) about each plant bijoy followed them listening to all on how the great Dev Dixit took care of each plant there and about each ones story ,half cursing him half amazed with the OTT stupidity.
As they finished the tour Dev sttles himself in edge of stream relaxing his leg which have few thorns in some places.
Bijoy was trying to remove some of them but Dev helped him with them smiling.
Suha "Papa it is very beautiful."
Dev "Yes right I used to spen all my time here for last few years ." he said stern.
Dev "This place is nothing less than heaven for me. Here I feel relaxed and forget everything."
Bijoy "The way you are doing it takes lot of time right."
Dev "Yes but I stay here only right ,on rainy seasons its bit tough but I can handle them too."
Dev "My anger reduced lot by this place ou can come here when ever you want."
Dev "I never get angry here ,if I am feeling something uneasy I just go out . " it was lot precious to him.
Suha "Papa let us go home ,it is almost 6 PM ."
Dev "Great we almost stayed 9 hrs here today."
As they were going back to room Dev cut few roses ofr Suha .Once inside Dev went inside to change himself while Bijoy and Suha waited outside .
Suha "Papa why is that room locked ?"
Dev was scared hearing that question not knowing how to handle that.
Dev did the best thing ,phone a friend he silently went to Bijoy and told him .
Dev "It is a private bar ."
Bijoy understood the situation and diverted the attention.
Bijoy "Suha it has medicines Papa is hiding them ."
Suha "wHat medicines ?"
Dev "Deppression ."
Suha "Deppression?"
Bijoy "Plants ka ."
Suha "Ohh ."
She looked confised but was satisfied and she is gonna ask her all knowing mother to confirm it later.
As Dev led the way they are leaving the place ,Dev looked depressed leaving this place but he was cheered by other thing his daughter.Only he know what this place holds for him.
And no one knows what this place is going to hold for them in future.
