“The Call*”


“That was something heavy!!” said Amrita, referring the meal they had.

“You call that heavy? I’m still feeling hungry.”

“So, Aditya! How long you’ve been here, doing this job?”

“About a year now, already I’ve been promoted once…”

“That’s so typically you!!” said Amrita.

“Now you’ll say that I also got promoted every year at school!!”

“Speaking of school, where are the other guys?”

“Don’t have lot of contacts” said Aditya “Just a few, Subhash is in Aeronautics Engineering with IA, Suraj is in the US, pursuing his career as a CA …”

“And Amrita is in Kolkata as a receptionist in BC!” interrupted Amrita

“That’s right!” said Aditya

“So that leaves only we two in this city!”

“You know one thing… for the past one year or so, we’ve been walking the same road to our works, only because today I was late, we had this chance to meet.” Uttered Amrita

Aditya looked in the eyes of Amrita; he felt that they wanted to reveal something,

“My stop’s here” said Amrita and hurriedly stepped down from the tram.

Aditya got back to his flat, had a bath, watched his favorite TV serials, had his dinner, but not even for a second the thought of Amrita, left his mind.

Just when he was planning to go for sleeping, his cell-phone rang, it was Amrita.

“Aditya! Sorry to disturb you at this time, but today, when I left you in the tram, I felt like expressing myself near you, but in hurry I forgot to say you something.”

“Well! You can say it now” Aditya’s pulse was racing.

“I wanted to say… Thank You for the treat!”

“Ohh… You are welcome…”

With a sound of giggle on the other side, some words flowed through the receiver.

“Good Night Adi!”
