more than our almighty. So, we don’t need to take such worthless promises, when we are uncertain. You don’t have to judge your love

  And if you have to judge then don’t go through it. It can make a drop of tears. So, we should accept his judgment. He is always there to help us and to solve our all burdens. Overload of burdens can frustrate us. We should not think ourselves very weak. We should make a hope like a beggar.

  All the things around a beggar are always uncertain but till the last breathe of their lives, they struggles to feed themselves and their child. They beg here and there with their uncertain hopes. Today is not everlasting but you can make your tomorrow better. For a new dream, a new thinking and we human beings is very essential to move higher.

  Neeloy was like that. I am very happy to have a friend like him. He is a boy with an uncountable quantity. I don’t know how god made him. He was becoming my idol. I often visit his room to learn something and on the other hand, my brain does not work whenever I think about Neeloy. Still there are some good souls among all our entities. He is too cool and never argued. He liked mostly those he

  dislikes. He really needed a good friend and one someone dear but everything was working by his laws and orders. That’s a life.

  Let’s see what happened in that party……………..

  “At last, my sister Priyanka agreed to approach and was searching her here and there, but a bad day it was! And on the other hand we had to come back by time. ”

  “It is not your fault. Sometime, we can’t predict something and sometime our mind does not work on something. We become very lazy to move,” I told to Neeloy.

  “My heart was under by my control but not my mind”

  “So, did Priyanka search her any more?” I asked to Neeloy.

  “We jointly searched her, but did not know where she escapes, but my sister had a very good job.”

  “Dear Neeloy, you should be smart and bold. You should approach.”

  “Priyanka and my friends tried for it, but a hard luck and on the other hand, our bus was almost ready to leave that place and I had huge tears. It was being very painful. I seated beside Priyanka, near at a window.”

  “So……….”

  “When the bus was moving slowly through their lane, I saw her in front of her place and there was a crowd. She seated alone on a chair and my drowsy eyes did not allow me to take a look properly.”

  “Cheers.” All of them smiled.

  “Most probably, she was watching with her family members,” I told to Neeloy.

  “At last, you had seen her.”

  “Yes, ending was very fine. We together looked her.”

  “Don’t worry brother, there is a way to approach, but it is very uncertain,” Priyanka said to Neeloy.

  “How Priyanka?”

  “ You have to wait just two days only,” Priyanka replied

  “ Why two days sister? Why not earlier than that?”

  “Oh ho! After two days, there will be a reception at the groom’s place. So, let she come and prays to god.”

  “How can you say that she will surely come?”

  “Dear Priyanka, I understood that some feelings are really unspoken, you can’t express it soundly and it only happened to me but my feeling was too pure.” During one conversations with Priyanka.

  “Yes Neeloy, it’s very common and unspoken. You don’t know her well and on the other hand, you know nothing about her. It was a memory. Hope it will remind you later, but try to forget. It can pain you later.”

  “Priyanka’s intuition worked. Pratiksha came at that party with her mother and along with a gang of her friends and relatives. That boy was also present at the reception and I was almost happy to see her again in that party,” A smile on his face.

  “I was very anxious to share a moment and Priyanka was present at that moment and she did a good job for me with her friends…………..”

  “How?” I asked to know.

  “Let me explain brother……….”

  “Hi, It’s me Priyanka. Can I ask your name please?” Priyanka asked her.

  “Yes, myself Pratiksha, but I don’t know you.”

  “Sorry, but I saw you at the bride’s place. That day, you were looking so beautiful with a sari. Am I right?” Priyanka had an enthusiasm.

  “Yes, but…………………”

  “Actually the bride is my cousin and I am even from the same place. I did not have any interest to attend that and today’s party as my examination is knocking at the door,” Pratiksha replied.

  “So, where you studying now and what?”

  “I am doing my MBA first semester.”

  “That’s cool.”

  “So, how is your study going on?” Priyanka asked to Pratiksha.

  “It’s as usual.”

  “Good. Wish you all the best.”

  “Can I ask you something?” Priyanka asked to Pratiksha.

  “Yes sure.”

  “I have no elder sister. Could be my elder sister?”

  Oh God! What she asked.

  “Very interesting,” I commented.

  “Yes, sure,” Pratiksha replied.

  “” She already accepted her. That was a good luck.” Rishabh declared.

  “Thanks dear sister.”

  “ Your sister is very smart,” I said to Neeloy.

  “Did you ever visit this place?” Priyanka asked to Pratiksha.

  “No, never,” Pratiksha replied.

  “Then, let’s go to our place. I am only the single daughter,” Priyanka replied.

 

  “Oh really! Me too a single child daughter and no brother and no sister,” Pratiksha exclaimed.

  “I can go, but I have to ask my mom otherwise she will search me here and there. Please don’t mind,” Pratiksha requested.

  “Yes, you can ask. No prob. let me meet with your mother.”

  And at last, her mother allowed pritaksha to visit Priyanka’s place. Priyanka was very clever and she met her mother and on other side, Neeloy was becoming very restless and watching their activities. That groom was being their neighbor and they had a good relation with them, a part of groom’s family and a moment later……….

  “Hi brother, what are you doing here? Are you busy now?” Priyanka asked to her brother (way to their place).

  “I was jumped by my an emotion and become speechless.”

  “He he he…so, did you visit your own place?” No doubt a fun.

  “No Priyanka, I am not busy at all and just waiting for my friends.”

  “It’s good, then come with us,” Priyanka requested to Neeloy by her twinkling eyes.

  “Wow Neeloy! At last god listened your prayer,” I was happy for that.

  “Yes brother, he listened my prayer,” Neeloy replied.

  “We seated on different chairs and were feeling very thirsty. I requested Pryanka to give me a glass of cold water; I was thirsty because of my restlessness.”

  The couple at last approached. Let’s enjoy the conversations………

  “Pratiksha, He is my brother Neeloy.”

  “Hi!”

  “Hi!”

  “Trust me brother, her a single word becoming very melodious.”

  “So romantic it was!” I exclaimed.

  “See dear, we are very poor but, can offer you a cup of tea. So, please don’t say not,” Priyanka, requested.

  Priyanka had a good job and other hand a good friendship was ahead. They had a satisfactory moment for a while.

  “ What’s going on………….hmm…my brother is good at studies and he have a dream to go abroad,” Priyanka said to Pratiksha.

  “A very smart girl.” Rishabh commented her as a smart one.

  “No no Pratiksha. She is lying. I am not good at all and I am good for nothing.”

  “ That’s a good spirit. All the best.” she was on her exciting ways.

  “Yes Neeloy, that was a good choice, but you can appear in CAT.”

  “Yes, I w
ant to appear in CAT examination after completion of my engineering degree, but I will prefer a Government College,” Neeloy replied.

  “Yes, you are right. It is being very expensive to study at a private college. It is just expensive,” Pratiksha replied.

  “You have how many family members?” Pratiksha asked to Neeloy.

  “Our parents expired at our childhood. Now me, Pratiksha and my grand father.”

  Neeloy was becoming very sad. I realized his pain, a pain from a soul.

  “Sorry, but how?” Pratiksha asked to Neeloy.

  “By a car accident.”

  “I am really very sorry. Sorry for asking,”

  “It’s all right.”

  And Priyanka, on the other hand was indicating Pratiksha not to ask any more questions. He often cries if someone asks about that incident.

  “What?” Pratiksha had a sound reply but that was a fool one.

  For a while, Pratiksha become very astonished…

  “Nothing dear sister….” Priyanka left a vacant hope.

  “Let’s take my tasteless tea,” Priyanka smiled.

  “Oh sure!”

  “Nothing I can cook, other than tea and no coffee,” Priyanka had a smile with her all words.

  It was looking very beautiful, when he was explaining.

  “It is really a good dream. Although you are good enough,” Pratiksha told to Neeloy.

  “Thanks Pratiksha.”

  “But Pratiksha, I am not expecting any foreign studies, but expecting a good job to help my sister and my grand father. So, just doing my best.”

  “Don’t worry, pray to god. You will get a good job.” Neeloy was looking so happy.

  “Nice to meet you all. But I must leave now otherwise my mom worry,” Pratiksha had a request.

  “Sure sure, we are going with you.”

  “You know Neeloy; I am even expecting a good job.”

  “Pratiksha, if you don’t mind can I ask you something about your father,” Neeloy had confusion.

  “Yes, he expired.”

  “Sorry pratiksha.”

  Way to groom’s place……………….

  “Neeloy, what’s your hobby?” Pratiksha asked to Neeloy.

  “I have no hobby and boy like me, have no hobby ahead. I don’t want to be a burden. My grand father is a retired person and I have to do something for him.”

  “Yes, it is a good thinking. You should hope for the best.”

  Neeloy assured her that he would work hard to achieve his dream.

  “I am very lucky. You guys are very trustworthy,” Pratiksha commented.

  “Priyanka had some work at our place. She left us alone. I felt myself very soft and shy in front of Pratiksha. I seated beside her with one of my friends, I was scared about my grand father. Each one had a doubtful look to us. It was obviously looking so odd. I met her mother and she talked to me nicely.”

  “At last…you won.”

  “Oh no!”

  “It really looks very odd when a couple sits alone and enjoys their words.”

  “Yes Neeloy, you did a good job. It really looks odd when you seated alone with an unknown one,” I told to Neeloy.

  “One or two hours seem like a minute when you talk to a girl or seat beside your own someone dear.”

  “Very romantic.”

  “You know one thing………….”

  “What Neeloy?” I asked to Neeloy.

  “With all such flowering moments, I was able to share my all sorrows and happiness. I had a very least time to share and she had a least time to hear, but it was good one. And my lunch was very drastic. I was completely alone on that tent.”

  “Did she leave that place?” I asked to Neeloy.

  “Nothing I want to explain. I am too shy like you. I really afraid girls. Till now, I don’t have much more idea how to approach a girl? How to talk first? I salute my friends. A courage is very essential.”

  “No shame at love. Be bold.” Mr. Pintu had one more comment.

  “I was very hungry by that time and was feeling very shy alone without my friends. I was bursting my feelings and expected at least a friend there.”

  “Then……….what happened next?” I asked to Neeloy.

  “I was too unlucky. I was searching my friends for their lunch with me. The place where Pratiksha’s family seated was completely vacant. As a groom’s side it was being odd looking to seat alone beside them.”

  “Yes Neeloy, you are right. I have such an experience.”

  “I followed my one’s Punjabi friend.”

  “How? Was there any trick?”

  “Yes, there was a trick and I followed the same,” Neeloy replied.

  “What was that trick?” I was asking repeatedly.

  “I had no other way to see her more. I did not want to lose such an opportunity. And you know what I did?” Neeloy asked to me.

  “With those caterer boys, I started to serve water and sweets to all those invitees. No doubt, it was being a good job to think.”

  “Neeloy, you were very crazy to realize.”

  “Yes, may be. There was one more interesting and funny event.”

  “What was that?” I asked to Neeloy.

  “I gave her two pieces of sweets. I gave my ones also.”

  “Oh no! It was so amazing.” I exclaimed.

  “What after next?”

  “I almost searched her everywhere, but did not find her any where outside that place.”

  “Priyanka, did you see Pratiksha?” I asked my sister.

  “No brother. But, what happen and why are you searching her now?”

  “Nothing sister.”

  “But, you are looking so worry and disturbed? Let it clear,” Priyanka requested to Neeloy.

  “She is going forever. I want to see her one more time. I am going mad. She is a good girl and a good friend of mine,” Neeloy expressed.

  Neeloy was searching such a good girl like Pratiksha.

  “Be cool. Let me search her. I am always there to help my brother, a good father ahead…………..”

  “You….”

  Priyanka even failed to find out Pratiksha and on the other hand, Neeloy was standing in front of their hired bus. His intuition worked and our Almighty listened his prayer. Lord Jesus saved his life and lord saved a life, which was out of mind and a mind without a soul.

  “Brother Neeloy, I salute you. Sorry, not to you but your love. It was a real feeling,” I told to Neeloy.

  “Yes brother, my feeling was very real. Because, I can say at least that there was a reality and nothing was a fake and simply a purity.”

  “Yes Neeloy, I am very much agreeing with you. Smartness is good but sometime some over smartness is very painful.”

  “You know brother, with in a fraction of seconds I got the place very vacant and aloof. She suddenly escaped from that tent. There was gatherings inside that tent and the seat she seated was being unreserved, so I seated on that one for a while to feel myself with her, to feel what love is? I seated for a while to feel the charm of a lover and to feel herself broadly.”

  “Yes, love bound us to become crazy.” Neelon commented more.

  “Great. Brother, you know what……………you can write a book.” I accepted all his good words.

  “I have never listened such type of love story. You are a crazy guy and you a mad lover.”

  “Yes, I was being mad; I don’t know how I was becoming a mad.” Neeloy even puzzled.

  “ Yes brother, that is a pure love, a love of a lovers, a love which he made, a love which we desire and a pain when it lost.”

  “All the bride’s members were going prepared to step into the bus. I searched her everywhere inside and outside that place. She was being out of ours sight but I did not find her anywhere.”

  “A mild feminine voice was there while I was standing near their bus. When I looked back, I saw a twinkling face and had a desire. She was offering a white paper, which was being blank from outside. Firstly, I
hesitated to accept that letter but she becoming very adamant.”

  “Hi Neelon, come inside,” Pratiksha requested to Neeloy.

  “Firstly, my mind did not allow me to accept that letter as my one closest neighbor was standing beside me. I knew him very well and had an honor and became very tensed.”

  “So, what you did?” I asked to Neeloy.

  “I had no other way out and decided not to go inside the bus to bring that paper.”

  “I saluted on her strong determination and after that she came down from the bus.”
