15 more days left for pratigya to quit her job.
hostal :7.30 am.
pratigya and rolli were busy in getting ready to go to office.even though pratigya resigned the job on her own will and wish , she felt an unknown sadness deep in her heart.
rolli:'why don't you try for other job pratigya?😊...'she was asking this question every single day for the past 15 days.
pratigya:'no rolli i don't want to stay in delhi any more...'
rolli:'very good ...very good....tho mera kya?😡...'she got annoyed.
pratigya left packing her hand bag, came to rolli and hold her hands with passion
pratigya:'rolli...😃tum ...tumare dad kay paas chale jao...tumare leyeh yahi achcha hai...😊'
rolli:'bad suggestion pratigya...tum maire fikrmat karao...😡 i will manage...'she pulled her hands angrily from pratigya and went out to go to school.
while pratigya was waiting for her bus in the bus stop she saw a vendor boy selling beautiful fresh red roses beside the bus stop.
look at the rose vendor boy!
when she looked at those fresh red roses, they reminded her university days.
pratigya:'bhaiya...ek gulaab dho...😊'she took a big fresh red rose from him and paid the money.kept it carefully with out crushing in her hand bag.as soon as she reached the office she took the red rose out , cleaned the table and kept it on the table with care.krishna was not in the cabin.
pratigya:😛...she kept looking at the rose.'should i try or not? try or not?😕...'she was asking herself in her mind.finally 'let me try...'she decided.she hold the rose carefully in her left hand.she prayed her favorite god for a second and then ...
pratigya:'he loves me...😛'she gently plucked one petal and kept it gently on the table.
pratigya:'he loves me not...😔'she plucked another petal and kept it on the table.
pratigya:'he loves me...😛'she plucked one more petal and kept it on the table.
pratigya:'he loves me not...😔'she plucked yet another.
pratigya:'he loves me...😛'she took off one more petal from the rose.
pratigya:'he loves me not...😔'she continued doing.as the petals were getting reduced from the flower her heart beat raised.
only few more petals were left.she can't withstand the tension.she closed her eyes tightly.
pratigya:'he loves me not...'😔before removing one she called her god in mind.
pratigya:'he loves me...😛'once again she repeated.
pratigya:'he loves me not...😔'
pratigya:'he loves me...😛'she removed one.
pratigya:'he..loves.......'she was searching for the petal with her fingers, closing her eyes.but could not find one.she touched the stem and try to confirm that there is no petal left out.she slowly opened her eyes and saw no petal left out!
pratigya:'omg😲...omg😲...i ended with 'he love me...😛'she literally jumped out of her seat and twirled...
pratigya:'wooooo....'she turned round and round with her open hair flowing on her face.she was acting as crazy as a teenager.she did not notice krishna standing near the door and noticing her.
krishna:'😛...i think you end up with a positive thought....😃'he came to her seat with a wide smile on his face.
pratigya:😲....'she stopped twirling and bit her tongue tip to control herself. 'god!😲...for how long he was watching me😲...i am so stupid...😕'she slapped on her forehead.
pratigya:'ji..do you know this game?😊...' she sat in her seat.
krishna:'yep ...i know😊...par yeh tho lovers play karte hai...tum kyun?😕...
pratigya:'wo....time pass 😳.'she blushed.
krishna:'to pass time you spoiled one beautiful flower!.....'she could not answer.but she realize people who are in love how stupidly behave.
two days after, it is friday week end.morning 8pm.
singh house dinning table .chandu who is a cook in their house serving breakfast to shakti and sumitra.
sumitra:'kyun krishna breakfast kay le yeh nahi aaya?...chandu tum jaakar thay kho...😊'
shakti:'mai dhayk tha hun amma...😊'he went up to his bed room.krishna was lying stomach side down hugging a pillow.
shakti:'krishna get up ...are you ok???😕'
krishna:'nahi shakti bhai...i am not feeling well...🥱'he turned towards him and said.
shakti:' kyun ...kya hua?..'he touch his forehead and checked.
shakti:' tumai tho thayz ki bukaar hai😲...i will call the doctor...'he did.
shakti:'tum aaj office maat jao..stay at home and take rest...office ka kaam mai sambhal loon ga...😊'he told sumitra to take care of him and went to office.
the whole day krishna was lying on the bed.don't feel like doing any thing.his mind was going on brooding about pratigya.'to day is the 19th day.hardly 10 more days for pratigya to leave my office.but i could not do any thing. what i am going to do? if i know what i want i can do some thing...😕'he was helpless,clueless completely in confused stage.
after lunch krishna got ready to go to office.'today is friday.if i don't see her today i will not see her for another 48 hours...😔'as he was not in a position to drive,took a cab and went to his branch office.
when he entered his cabin it was around 4pm.still he had high temperature and felt very weak.soon pratigya brought some files and kept it on his table to check.
krishna:'nahi aaj nahi...will see later...'he said with a sickening face.
pratigya understood that he is not in a mood.she went back and sat in her seat.krishna was sitting ideally...some time looking at pratigya,some time not.pratigya too was doing the same, some time looking at krishna some time her files. there existed a dreadful silence!
the phone on his table rang and broke the silence.he took the receiver and attended the call, he was surprised to heard some gents voice want to talk to pratigya.he closed the speaker with one hand and looked at pratigya.she was scribbling some thing on a paper.
krishna:'tumara phone hai...'
pratigya:'😲....she too was surprised.she came immediately to attend the call to know who is that calling ,that too to her office.
adarsh:'pratigya...tum abhi ghar awo...'her elder brother spoke.
pratigya:'bhaiya!!!!!😲....kya baat hai bhaiya ? sab teek tho hai na?...😕'she was standing beside krishna,very close to him .krishna felt as if he got some freshener to his mind and body.
adarsh:'mummy ki thabyat thoda teek nahi tha..ab wo teek hai...par baat aur kuch hai...tum fawran nikal kay awo....😡'
pratigya:'kya baat hai bathawo na?😕...'she was playing with the paper weight while talking.
adarsh:'yeh sab phone mai nahi bolsak tha...tum ghar awo...'
pratigya:'teek hai 😊...'she kept the receiver .krishna was continuously watching her conversation.
krishna:😕....he was waiting for pratigya to talk.
pratigya:'wo.. i want to go to my home town.....'all of a sudden he felt sick again.
krishna:' oh!😲.....'
pratigya:'i need two days leave.monday and tuesday...'
krishna:'fill up the leave application and bring...'he will be missing her for another 4 days from saturday to tuesday which made him more sick.he cross fold his hands on the table, he kept his head resting his folded arms.
pratigya went back to her seat and started filling up the leave application.when she was filling the form again the phone rang.krishna don't have the strength to hold the receiver.he pressed the speaker on.
shakti:' krishna.....'
krishna:'bolo shakti bhai....😊'he raised his head little bit from the table and spoke.
shakti:'maine kaha tha na office maat jao...you are not feeling well....you need to rest😡...'
krishna:
shakti:'tumai office jane ki kya zaroori thi?.....'
' he came to office with high fever!😲...but why?😕'pratigya stopped writing and looked at him.
krishna:'wo mai...bhaiya...'he turned his head and looked at pratigya.
shakti:'kaho... why you went to office?😡......'
krishna:...his eyes were fixed on pratigya. pratigya was looking at him with the same question in her eyes.
shakti:'amma ne kaha tum gaadi bhi nahi lekar gayeh.don't even have the strength to drive...and went to office...uff...😡'
krishna:...still staring at pratigya and so pratigya.
shakti:'i will come there to pick you up....😡'
krishna:'sorry bhaiya...😊'
shakti:'teek hai...teek hai..see you😊...soon i will be there...'
after their conversation was over pratigya brought the leave letter and submitted it for his sanction.
krishna:'which is your home town?😊...'he signed the aplication while talking.
pratigya:'chandigarh...😊'she went back to her seat.
soon she packed up her things and started going.but her gut feels did not allow her to go and her legs refused to walk.she stopped near the cabin door,turned back and looked at him...he was still looking at her.she felt as if her heart beat slowing down.
krishna:'kuch bhool gaye kya?😕...'
pratigya:'nahi...'
krishna:'fir?😕...'
pratigya:'aap teek tho hai na...?'the words did not come out clearly.
krishna:'umm.....😊' he tried to smile. looking his smile with a satisfaction she was about to move.
krishna:'ruko...'
pratigya:'...'
krishna:'wapas awo ge na?😕...'his voice was shattered.
pratigya:'ummm...😔 😭'hidding her tears from him she ran out of that place.
that day evening she packed her things with the help of rolli. next day morning pratigya went to delhi railway station along with rolli.she has to catch paschim express to go to chandigarh, it is 4 hrs travel by train.from there she has to go to her town sarangpur by local train.
rolli:'take care pratigya😊...tell my pranaam to your family...'she send off pratigya.
on the same day evening pratigya called rolli.
rolli:'hi...pratigya😃...hope you reached home safely...😊'
pratigya:'rolli...abhi tum sarangpur awo.....😔'her voice was unhappy.
rolli:'kya baat hai pratigya? you sound sad!😲...is every thing is fine there?...😕'
pratigya:'rolli...kal mera engagement hai...'
rolli:'w..h..a...t...😲????'
