'Why I had to fall for him only?Bhogoban! Why did this had to happen with me.? Mr.Obhodro! why did you care so much that I lost my heart to you only to find that its an unrequited love story of mine?All this is because of Dada and Elena only.They don't know that Mr.Obhodro would not spare a side glance before getting married to Natasha for growth of his business and betterment of his family.''Sonakshi kept muttering and cursing sitting on the cement bench on terrace.The flashbacks of Dev and Natsha sharing few moments had left Sonakshi in a bitter state.
The grey clouds hovering over the sky had alerted Asha and she had asked Sona to collect the drying clothes from terrace.Sona had obliged and had presented herself on the terrace only to sit on the bench and justify her heart's mistake.The pattering of rains brought her back to the reality.She ran all over the terrace in a futile attempt to save the clothes from getting wet.Bundling the damp clothes she was about to clamp the terrace door,a sight left her stranded at the terrace threshold.The pot of rose and its little bud.Dadi has immense love for plants apart from love for family and movies.Her leisure times are spent in tending to life saviours of the man kind.Last Saturday she had brought the pot from the vendor.Sona occupied in her job of Mr.Dixit and thoughts for Mr.Dixit had not seen the growth of the rose plant.Elena was saying some day that the buds of the new plant were growing and the full bloomed rose was senescing.She had lost interest in everything around her and had withdrawn her self into world of conflicting thoughts and choices.
The rain had started lashing with winds getting stronger with lapse of time.The tiny bud was finding it wearisome to put a defense against the strong winds.Then in an instant a colocassia leaf from the adjacent plant hovered over the petite bud.The winds tried to divert it but the leaf was determined to safeguard the bud from nipping and falling to ground.Sonakshi's lips curled into a smile beholding the unadulterated love of the leaf for the bud which belonged to a totally different species in the plant kingdom.As she descended the stairs,her heart quipped "Is not Dev like the colocassia leaf?'' Before her mind could frame a defensive reply,her attention went to the ringtone of her cell left in her room.
She quickly reached her room and clicked open the screen only to find the screen glowing and radiating light with "Calling...Mr.Dixit." With the call ringing with her favourite tune she was thrown into conflicting choices of accepting or rejecting the call.By the time she had arrived with a decision the call went unanswered.She thanked her stars as she didn't want to receive the call.If she would have received the call she would have blurted something not apt to situation and if she would have rejected it then she would have sounded rude.She got over the event and started spreading the damp clothes to let them dry.After completing her work she stepped out of her room only to find Bijoy approaching her.
She thought it would surely be something about her dada and his business which was no in good terms with her baba.But Bijoy held her hand and lead her to her bed.Making her seated and making himself comfortable he looked at Sona straight.Without beating any bush he straight forwardly asked-"Are you in love with Dev Babu?'' Sona was shocked yet maintaining her composure replied -'Baba!This is not possible.He is my boss and not boyfriend''.Bijoy smiled and took his dearest daughter's dainty palm in his own's and said -"You have grown up but forgetting that we are your parents.My Sona who had solutions to every possible problems of world ,be it in work or family;which problem could leave her in such disturbing thoughts for so many days?'' Before Sona could reply back in defense to her father's true words ,their discussion was interrupted by a call.Bijoy took the phone lying on his side and saw the caller's address. 'Calling...Mr.Dixit''.Bijoy smiled and handed over the phone to Sona.Sona was reluctant to take the call but accepted it to avoid further calls from Dev and questions of her father.
Dev-Ms.Bose! Are you fine?I returned home to find that you have taken leave today.Are you well or you need some more days of leave?''
Sona-Mr.Dixit! Do you question your employees like this in interviews?Asking every details in a single go?
Dev-Ms.Bose..
Sona-Dr.Bose for you.
Dev-Okay.Dr.Bose.But that was not the answer to my question.Why didn't you inform me about the leave.I was tensed about your absence from house.
Sona-I had informed Kicchu bhaiya and Auntyji.Even Mamiji knows about this.By the way I have only taken a day's leave and not left the job.Stop being hyper.And yes why you had called me?For enquiring about my leave?
Dev-I had an important thing to discuss with you urgently.
Sona-What?WITH ME?I know nothing of business and you know nothing of nutrition.Call your girlfriend Natasha and discuss with her.Bye.
Dev-Wait.Natasha is my business partner and not girlfriend.And who asked me that day to discuss my problems with someone and leave the habit of taking sleeping pills?
Sona-I had asked but I had not said to discuss the problems with me.Its you who had said me that you would discuss with me.Better call Tina or Natasha and discuss.Bye.
She cut the call before she could get a reply from Mr.Obhodro.She went to kitchen and found Asha brewing tea.Asha handed over the hot cup of brewing tea and asked in worry-"Sona!Are you alright,beta?Ki holo?"Sona sipping the tea said''Everytime nothing has to happen.Drama doesn't happen everyday,Ma.Stop bothering about me.'' Asha was surpriized yet deep down her heart knew ,all this is because of Sona's boss only. She advocated that Dev Babu is very good.It might be because his aunt was not very fond of Sona so Sona might be upset over her words.She decided to talk to her later.
Sona was leafing through the newly arrived fitness magazine when she saw Dev standing at the threshold of her room.''Bhogoban! I am hallucinating. Mr.Obhodro even.I seriously need to reconsider my decision of quitting his job and take up the job at Mr.Ahuja's Hospital.''Her words were loud enough to alert Dev's ears.He took hurried steps and presented himself before Sona.Sona ,still in her hallucinating state ,raised her hand and traced the tout flesh of Dev's face.Her fingers retreated back and she aroused from her frenzied state.
Sona-Tumi ekhane?(You here?)
Dev-Yes.Ms.Bose.I am here to take you near Mr.Sinha.
Sona-Why?What happened to Auntyji?Did she take anything spicy.?
Dev-Ma is absolutely in pink health.I am taking you for treatment.
Sona-What? Me? What has happenened to me Mr.Dixit?
Dev-Ms.Bose!..
Sona-Dr.Bose for you.
Dev-Okay Dr.Bose.Have you seen yourself in mirror after you are discharged from the hospital?You have become pale.
Sona-Why do you care?I am fine and I am doing my job well.You better concentrate on your family,business and other commitments.
Dev-I had read that people behave strangely and seem frustrated when they suffer from post traumatic stress disorders.Tina had also jotted down this point while surfing through various sites on this topic.
Sona-Mr.Dixit .I am not suffering from any disorder and wait.You asked Tina to do all this?Tumi Impossible.
Dev-This confirms it.The appointment is at 6.30 PM and You are going for treatment.
Sona-I am not going anywhere.You can leave Mr.Dixit.
Dev-Sonakshi! You don't understand.Your state worries me.You have 15 minutes.I am waiting outside.
Sona- Mr.Dixit ..
Dev-SSHH!! No arguments.
After about 11 minutes the door opened.Sona was dressed in a pink salwar suit and Dev was in utter amazement that Ms.Bose acted upon his words and agreed to accompany him.
Sona quipped-" Mr.Dixit! We have only nine minutes left for the appointment.I hate reporting anywhere late,be it your house or elsewhere.''
Dev maintained his composure to avoid bickering with her infront of her family.
Asha said-'Go beta.Take Care.''
As soon as they left the hose,Dev opened the back door of car for her and made himself seated in the driver's seat.Sona made herself comfortable on the seat while Dev said-'Ms.Bose!Dr.Sinha has called for the best psychiatrist of the town.Don't worry.It would remain completely confidential between you,me and the doctor.''
Sona smiled and looked out of the car's window.''Mr.Obhodro!you don't realize that my disorder is you and my cure lies with you.No psychiatrist can cure this disorder.''Dev was surely the colocossia leaf of her life saving her from all the distressing rains of her life.
The rains had started again and as the car zoomed out of the vicinity she looked up to the terrace.The Colocassia leaf was still protecting the petite rose bud.
