“A cup of tea on the table. No one knows when it got cold? Maybe a little while ago there was smoke coming from this cup of tea. But now there is no more smoke. There is a bill on the table. There is some money right next to the bill. Maybe the guy who was sitting here a while ago had his money. She's gone. But he did not eat the food ordered. Everything has fallen that way. A burning cigarette next to him is almost burning. In this way, some unspoken facts may be written in the pages of history. ”
Irfan stopped after saying that. Ranjan is sitting in front. He spoke as soon as he blinked his eyes.
-Well, are you getting emotional day by day? In this way, you were born with the idea of a poet or you were already like that?
- What do you think?
- What do I think again? I am just as I am.
- You just think I'm probably new. Wake up today. And yes, I paid the bill.
Irfan packed his bag and started walking. Ranjan is still sitting. Suddenly a haze appeared in a distant corner. Ranjan did not seem to recognize him. Meanwhile evening is coming down. He was forced to walk home. I started thinking about Irfan. The boy did not change at all. Yet he is as haughty as he was when he first met her.
- Hi, I'm Ranjan.
- I'm Irfan. Not first year?
- Yes and you?
-What do you think?
- At first I thought it was my elder brother who was studying in the second year. Later I saw the first year book in hand and realized that we are in the same class.
- Misconception, I was in my second year. That's why I failed.
Ranjan laughed a lot when he heard that. So Irfan got up and left with pride. He didn't even eat the breakfast in front of him. Threw away the cigarette. Talked to Ranjan after about 2 months. The boy didn't really change.
Arrived in front of the house. Tama opened the door when she heard the calling bell. Anjan in their lap. The name is given by Irfan. He said that it is better to keep the name of the father better. As soon as he took her in his arms, he noticed that Manha was sitting on the sofa. Ranjan's smile immediately disappeared.
- Tama, how many times have I banned you? For some people the door to my house is closed forever.
-Ah, Ranju! Will you stop Do you know how far he has come?
-Tama, all I know is that this girl can push people away from her existence, from her self-esteem.
- Please stop.
- Why stop? Did he stop? We all told him to stop that day. If he had stopped that day, I would not have lost my friend. That is responsible for Irfan's condition.
Ranjan sat in the chair. The face turned red with anger. Manha is still sitting on the sofa. He is looking at Ranjan with one eye. Tears are falling from the eyes. Seeing that, Ranjan's anger increased even more.
- I have never seen such a rock. And tears in his eyes! Not surprising at all. Everything is possible by you.
-Ranjan Da .....
- Please, don't give me so much respect. I will not digest. I don't even know how I'm going to sit. Tama, please tell him to leave.
-Grandpa, I only want to meet him once.
-Why? Do you want to take away the rest of his existence?
- Grandpa, it's important for me to meet him.
- I don't know where he is.
-Grandpa, fall at your feet. I want Irfan.
-Shut up. I don't want to hear his name on your face. Tama, will you get him out of the house or me .....
-Grandpa, my cancer ..... Blood cancer, last stage.
-I don't believe you. I have heard your excuse before.
Ranjan grabbed Manhar's hand and pulled the door open. Tama was refusing many times. Ranjan heard nothing. He closed the door, looked at you once and went straight to his room. Everyone ate dinner. Tama is not talking. He has already gone to the room with Anjan. There is a lot of anger on the husband. Tama would push a girl's neck like this and could not think. Despite knowing the death of the girl!
Ranjan came to the room. He sat leaning on the pillow. Anjan is turning his hand on his head. The boy is asleep.
- Don't you ever think about the girl? If you take it out like this? Who knows where he went so late at night? Did you find out that the girl's cancer? I have never seen you behave like that. I used to believe that my husband respects all daughters, but today you broke that belief.
-Believe? Do you believe? Immeasurable trust in someone. Is this a lot of respect for someone? Irfan also had. I had too. We had the whole campus. The girl had broken that belief with her own hands.
-Who is Irfan? I haven't seen this friend of yours. But I have heard this name in your mouth a lot. Who is this guy for whom so much trouble is happening?
Ranjan let out a sigh.
-Irfan and I were close friends in college. He was a very serious and quiet type boy in college. He was very busy with his studies. In the first year, the brilliant badge was attached to his name. During the six months, four new students were admitted to the class. Manha is one of them. I don't know how they fell in love but I used to watch and smile a lot. I also liked that the boy was smiling. I heard that both his parents died a long time ago. The orphan boy smiled at Manha. Everyone in college loved him very much. So their love got a lot of respect among us.
-Then what happened?
- Everything was going well. But gradually the girl changed. Suddenly he started wearing expensive clothes and jewelry. Irfan would not answer the question. On the contrary, Irfan used to say that he no longer believed him. Irfan would have been silent when he heard this. After a few days of arrogance, everything went well.
- One thing struck me.
- What's the matter, Toma?
- You said that the time to get acquainted with him had already failed for a year. But you said Irfan was a good student!
A fictional story incomplete.... I will complete it soon. Stay tuned.
