“Not at all brothers, I am very funny,” Neelon replied by his restless tongue.

  “Yes Rishabh, then listen to me. We must love someone. We are here on the earth to live with others, our casts may be different, our religions may be different, may be we good or bad looking, may be we from different status but none is there to differentiate on such things. We have same source of origin. Just remember, we are alive to others heart and with their mind and in their soul,” Neelon replied confidently.

  “Yes, I loved and still loving my dream. Love is a sacred relationship. We are always eagerly waiting to get someone’s love. A love, which can make our life so precious. But Rishabh, I am not so lucky. Yes, lots of people love me and like me, but now days; it is very difficult to get a good partner cum soul mate. Most of them are going very mechanical but in between those, a few are the best. But, to get such a friend, you have to dig your friendship. Am I right Rishabh? ” Neelon was explaining about his past life.

  “Yes…you are very romantic,” Rishabh replied.

  “Brother, I am not too romantic. I always try to move with the present. I dislike any fantasy world. The things you will get from any fantasy world are always unstable. We always forget one thing that there is another world of ours, which is our future, our fortune. ”

  “Please brother, try to proceed. I am appreciating your all lines and truly speaking, you are absolutely right,” Rishabh was supporting Neelon.

  “Welcome to my world,

  It’s a heartiest welcome to our nation,

  It’s a place of joy and lonely heart of mine.

  I am moving around the world,

  Moving towards my goal and

  Moving freely towards my destiny.

  I am searching the new way, come together;

  Feeling very warm.

  Searching that harmony in my empty sacred heart.

  My drowsy eyes saying, oh! The

  Destiny you can fill me.

  And you can feel my desire ness,” Neelon shared his feelings.

  Neelon was in love and but his love still pains him.

  We are human beings and as human being it’s our desire ness to taste all the fruits. In some cases, we can differentiate at least which one is good and which one is bad for us.

  “Why are you silent Mr. Stranger?” Rishabh asked.

  “My tongue is not working, it is going to be functionless,” that stranger replied.

  “Why not working?” Neelon asked to him.

  “It’s not working but it itself searching its own words,” that stranger replied.

  “But, we have decided to give you a good name,” Neelon said to that stranger.

  “But why?” that stranger replied.

  “As you are not disclosing your name, your identity. So, we are just decided to do it. As a living being, we should respect you,” Neelon requested to him.

  “I am very lucky and please, don’t be late, tell me my name,” that stranger was being pleased.

  “There is a great announcement. Come friends come,” Neelon was cheering.

  “Neelon, are you mad or what? What are you doing man? Why need to give one more name. I have already a good name. ” That stranger replied with his mild voice.

  “We have decided to call you as Mr. Pintu. It’s a good name …… ” Risahabh said to Mr.pintu.

  “Yes, it is!” Mr. Pintu replied.

  “Both of you guys are very clever” Mr. Pintu was looking so happy.

  “But why?” they suddenly replied.

  “Yes, you both” Mr. Pintu replied.

  Mr. Pintu was a man of honor. He had noticed several things on both of their faces. He noticed that Neelon was hiding himself when Rishabh repeatedly asking regarding his love life. Neelon was a boy of shy. One thing is very true that Neelon was such type of boy who was always ready to help others. He was such a boy I ever seen. As a boy, he was completely undemanding and simple.

  “We are new in our relation. So, let us know each others first,”

  Mr.Pintu requested to know each other.

  “Me first………….Yes, myself Neelon. I come of a very lower middle class family. My father is a retired Government employee and my mother is a housewife. I am very happy to have such a good parents like them. They love me very much and they are very much understanding. They are simply the best and a cool parent. I am the youngest boy in our whole family. I am very restless and good for nothing. I have no sister and three elder brothers. You can say a happy family. None of them are so demanding and very simply. It’s true and truly speaking I am not buttering. We are like just good

  Friends. I love them lot more than myself. My parents have many more dreams regarding my career and I am on my way to fulfill it. I don’t know how much I can do it to achieve my dream. Let’s see……………………………….,” Neelon expressed himself as a poor fellow.

  “And Rishabh, what about you? “Mr. Pintu asked.

  “Nothing, simply nothing Mr. Pintu,” Rishabh replied.

  “I even come of a middle class family. I have just one sister named as Annahita. My father is a far apart from our family. He had a little misunderstand with my mother. He was so good and very understanding. I have no contact with him since last six years. He had left our family a few years ago. I love my mom and my little sister. I have nothing in my life. That’s all,” Rishabh replied.

  “Hmm………” Mr. Pintu replied silently.

  “So, we have to help each other first. Am I right? ” Mr. Pintu asked to them.

  “Yes, you can! But, I am not sure,” Rishabh replied.

 

 

 

  PART THREE

 

 

  PART # THREE

  “Let save your tears guys,” Neelon was requesting.

  “Why are you saying such painful words? Please, don’t mention such words,” Rishabh requested to Neelon.

  “Truly speaking, I don’t know what has happened to me. I feel that someone is looking at me but I can’t look back at her. I can realize her presence and she is anxious to ask some questions. She is missing my presence. Yes, she is! I want to follow her path. She is looking so innocent like a quiet lake….I can feel myself as snow, I can fall only, only scatter……………….hoping someone is there to pull me back to the sky…I want to stand on that sea shore and I want to touch all the waves. Let me cold down myself and let the sea realize how warm I am! I want to flow with you, don’t hit me abruptly… please don’t”

  “Yes, he is saying something” Mr. Pintu pinched Rishabh.

  “Yes, I am upset. I loved someone. Someone who was very pretty, very much adorable and simply she was my idol. I don’t know where she is! I am wishing her a very good luck from the deepest core of my lonely heart. A girl who can change someone’s mind and their soul. I am respecting girls by their attitudes.”

  “Yes good,” Mr. Pintu commented on Neelon’s words.

  “It’s true that I respect girls. By me, all girls before their marriage a predefined character and a predefined role of a mother. I salute all girls and lay down myself to their mother’s role. In this whole cosmos, none can define absolutely the role of a mother .I like their simplicity and their duties to their children. They can easily sacrifice their smile and joys for the well being of their family. We should salute and respect all mothers. I dislike those who play with their heart and who play with their simplicity. I am requesting all our national and international governments to provide such an act, which will fight with those who play with girls, who torture their parents,” Neelon had a repeated explanation.

  “Brother Neelon, it is really very much impressive. But, do you think they will listen your words,” Rishabh argued on his words.

  “May be, I don’t know but, I will try to maintain it. In our present socie
ty, we must need some reformers, who can at least reform our society. We are always lagging behind with money. I know, money is very essential, but sometime we should control our limitations and expectations. Limitations and expectations are such boundaries where everyone tries to crosses over it. Even I have my limitations, but it is very least. I do not think about myself, but surely I can think for others and will never stop it,” Neelon explained soundly.

  “Neelon, could you please answer my one question?” Mr. Pintu requested to Neelon.

  “Yes, surely,” Neelon replied to Mr.Pintu.

  “Do you think that love can dishearten anyone badly,” Mr. Pintu asked again.

  “You don’t have to hesitate Mr. Pintu. See Mr. Pintu, it is very simple. Love cannot dishearten anyone but many one. See, we all human beings have desire for love. It just happens to any living and non-living entity. We human have a wish to share our joys and sorrows with some one whom we love most. It is the reality of our live, that some one may be your class mate, may be your childhood friend, may be your girl friend and may be your any family member,” Neelon replied simply.

  “ Your toes are on the desert but I want to listen it from you,” Rishabh was praying to Neelon.

  “Those are golden words,” Mr. Pintu said to Neelon and fully supported Neelon.

  “Still you love her?” Mr. Pintu asked again.

  “Yes, Mr. Pintu,” Neelon replied.

  “Did your love make you happy ever?” Mr. Pintu asked to Neelon.

  “Yes, Mr. Pintu. Truly speaking, I was very happy alone…. there was a day when I felt; I am the most happiest boy in that charming world. My toes were touching the cold winds and it happened with me when I was with her world, when she was in my life. It seemed one heart controlling two souls with a single mind,” Neelon explained.

  “Brother Neelon, you are very much thoughtful,” Mr.Pintu told.

  “I do not know whether it was my illusion or not, but still she is in me and with my mind. She had some pain inside, which she had never been disclosed,” Neelon replied.

  “When did you meet her firstly,” Mr. Pintu asked to Neelon.

  “I met her when I was studying my Engineering third semester at a Government Engineering College,” Neelon replied.

  “Wow! So as a student you was a good enough,” Mr. Pintu smiled.

  “Sorry Mr. Pintu, I don’t know and I don’t want to explain anything more about it,” Mr. Pintu smiled.

  “During my studies at School and high school, my rank was among first ten students,”Neelon replied.

  “Good. Hmmm…………” Mr. Pintu in an impressive way.

  “She was searching me here and there but, that time I was admitted into an Hospital and it was due to my abdominal pain and my pain was not being curable, as I used outside food during my first and second semester in my Engineering studies, ”

  “But, you should at least take care of your health,” Mr. Pintu advised to Neelon.

  “Please Neelon, tell us know about your Maya,” Risahbh pinched Rohit.

  “Yes. Maya, it is a good name and I am really very grateful to you

  for the word Maya,” Neelon suddenly replied.

  “I felt, she needed my help. She asked everyone. She searched me everywhere, but that time, I was staying at my home town near about a month,” Neelon said to Rishabh.

  “What happened next?” Mr.Pintu asked to Neelon.

  “I visited their place when I back. She was looking so pretty with her long brown hairs and helpless eyes. I still remembered,” Neelon explained.

  “I do not know whether she remember me or not. I do not know where she is! What she is doing? ” Neelon was explaining more and more.

  In an expressive way Neelon was saying………………

  “Oh! The destiny, only you can fill me,

  You can fill my all desire ness and my all wishes.

  You have already done it.

  You have showed your presence in me…

  You can shine, you can shy on thyself.”

  “ Good lines,” Mr.Pintu appreciated Neelon.

  “ Mr. Pintu, are you buttering on my words?” Neelon replied with his angry lips.

  “ Please Neelon, don’t misunderstand me. Those lines were good enough to learn something new about a life,” Mr. Pintu replied.

  “ But I think it was my mistake.” Neelon was looking so upset.

  “But how?” Rishabh asked to Neelon.

  “I do not know why we do mistake. Sometime, our small mistake can misguide our life but, sometime, you can learn something once you did any mistake. In each moment, I did a mistake. You cannot share some sorrows with your family. I was the youngest son of our family. My sorrow turned into a smile whenever I remember my parent’s helplessness and crying face. My soul did not even help me whenever I abruptly doing mistake, one by one.” Neelon was explaining leaning himself by a wall.

  “ It was your good humanity,” Mr. Pintu said to Neelon.

  “Mr. Pintu, I am asking you a very small question,” Neelon requested to Mr.Pintu.

  “Can I ask Mr. Pintu?” Neelon requested him again.

  “Yes, you can ask whatever you want,”Mr. Pintu replied.

  “You are sure?” Neelon asked him again.

  “Yes. Neelon you are too bore.”

  “Okay.”

  “Do you think making such a relationship with a girl is good at our ages?”

  “May be! I don’t know. Sometime, it is good and many times it hurt a normal life.”

  “ Do you have any someone dear?” Neelon asked to Mr.Pintu

  “Yes.”

  “So did you love someone?” Neelon asked him again.

  “Yes, I loved someone but I have no such much more expectation regarding that,” Mr.Pintu replied to Neelon.

  “Why?” Neelon asked.

  “I was seeing you cry in the lonely places. You were in a mood to fall your tears. I observed some sadness on your faces.” and at last Neelon disclosed.

  “No brother, I was happy alone. I cannot rebuild my broken heart,” Mr. Pintu replied.

  “See Neelon, I fell in love when I was just fourteen years old. As a student I was an average and it continued up to my twelfth

  Standard. ”

 

  “What was her age?” Neelon asked.

  “She was in ninth standard”

  “After that.”

  “ Both of our family knew about our friendship and one day, both the family clashed and by God, it was beyond the extreme. Me was being a cool fellow, but her parents were too cruel. Her family members tried to break our friendship and ultimately, the relationship had broken and now, she is a married woman. I still miss my love and still I remember her but it was my hard luck. I accepted my fortune. She was happy with her family members. They had a join family. I did not even study properly after that incident. My friends’ circle was not good enough. They had a jealousy about my career. I even did not ask her why she did that. I knew, I am poor. She was a single child in their family. Everyone was going against our family. I was silent for a longer time and was searching her here and there. Nothing was there to be disheartened.

  They did not like our poverty. My hands were being up above my reading table. I had no way out because that was my first love at my ages. So, I engaged myself in a business. My fault was that, I loved her from the deepest core of my heart. Still I realized that what I lost. It had a great value in my lonely life. I was very much immature about such relationship. There was no way out to forget my past and my love. It is not an easy task to forget our some one, that someone whom you like and love most. She had a dream to touch the sky and she liked to live in a high profile societies. But, I was completely different from her self. Because, I come of a poor family. I had some burdens. We had to struggled each day for food and proper shelter, each an hour to make a smile on our faces,” Mr. Pintu replied.

  “Did she ever apologize?” Risahbh asked to Mr.Pintu.

  “No, she
did not,” Mr. Pintu replied.

  “She was just happy at her world and I was just waiting to listen her words.” Mr. Pintu was looking very unhappy.

  “I was not getting any things to concentrate myself in studies. My

  heart was so soft but I was being so coward. I did not want to hurt my parents. All of my friends tried their best to reconnect and rebuild our relationship and ultimately, I got myself very alone,” Mr. Pintu was sharing his sorrows.
