“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!”

Close Apart (Chapter-32)

Close Apart Chapter-32 “Shopping Day” Amrita took Komal for her wedding day shopping! Komal tried a lot to dodge Amrita but then she was not so resourceful when it came to denying someone. “Look, all my life I’ve been either studying or working, actually I didn’t get real time to dress-up or to party around. So I am what you’ll call a fashion disaster” confessed Amrita. “Don’t worry! I’ll Help You out! You won’t be a fashion disaster on your wedding day.” Komal smiled and replied. After sometime, Amrita was lining up in front of the trial room while holding few dazzling dresses. “I know the decision was a bit hasty, but after so many days without him, I don’t have the patience of staying away anymore! I know, you must be thinking that getting married in a registrar’s office is such a boring thing to do, but for me the companionship is much more important than a fancy wedding! And even Aditya seems to be quite supportive about this.” Amrita finished as she went in one of the trial room...
Close Apart Chapter-16 (Untitled) Aditya wasn’t at all recovering from his sad state of mind. He made numerous efforts to track down information about Amrita & her family, but nothing useful came up. Manish was concerned about his friend’s wellbeing, and so he called up Komal and cleared all the confusion that they were having. It was Sunday morning; Aditya got a call from Komal. “Hi!” “Hi…” “What are you doing today?” “You mean this afternoon?” “I meant now!” “Well, nothing actually!” “Then we can meet…” “Look Komal, I am actually not in a mood to…” “Moods, as they say, are made… and not imposed!” “That was exactly what I intended to remind you…” “Great! Then see you in half an hour at Pizza Hut!” “I guess I don’t have any choice…” Aditya knew he would have to get up from his bed and get ready if he wanted to be there on time, but he sulked. World has changed from what it used to be a few days earlier, and he didn’t feel a thing about it that’s left to live for… ******************...

Close Apart (Chapter-19)

Close Apart Chapter-19 “The British Council Mystery (Part-II)” “Komal you don’t have to do this!” “Trust me, I’ll have to. “ “O.K. listen, try to find out as much information as you can about the server they are using & about its network administrator Mr. Bakshi.” “Why him?” “Because only he has got the power to insert any virus or Trojan in the server & I had this feeling before that he’s up to something.” “O.K and I’ll see you in 2hrs or so…” “Right, note everything, take pictures if necessary and…” “and?” “Don’t run into unnecessary troubles!” “I won’t.” “Manish will drop you on his way…” “No, I’d prefer to take my Press car with me…” Watching Komal going away, Aditya had this strange feeling. He realized that she was going to risk her job to find out something for his defense; Aditya realized that something has creped into his self silently. So silently that he never even realized that it rested there. Rested just to remind his of its exist...
