chapter 23

" Ohh.... Hello..." , She said waving her palms before his eyes.Just then Nishith opened his eyes by hearing her voice that broke his beautiful day dream." Hii... I am Nishith." , He introduces himself with a decent smile .Before his thoughts could end about their first meeting in college when they were completely unknown to each other,   they had already reached the basement and Samaira was calling him continuously.Samaira's voice brought him back to reality." Nishith... Nishith ...Where are you lost? " , She calls out by shaking him.Nishith steps out of the gutter of old memories and opens his eyes with a jerk." Nishith... See. Everyone has already left. Come on... We are getting late." , She said with a calm voice.Nishith just smiled at her and they went away.At his office,Richa was present in his chamber busy in discussing some important information about the new project. She was trying to list all the figures properly before him with her sweet and cheesy smile. But Nishith was unable to concentrate on the official discussion. His mind was occupied with some other thoughts. He smiles cheesely to his thought of the past when he would sit at the side and would watch Samaira getting ready before the mirror. He just smiled foolishly remembering himself in the past.The day continues with the same state of mind. Nishith thought it was the right time to think about the buried past that they once shared and enjoyed each other's company.The next day, Nishith carries Samaira with a lot of love towards her. Now he faces the society very boldly. Not a single being dares to say him anything. Within these many days, he has turned much confident towards the job of carrying his wife in his arms.There is a drastic change within him. His feelings for Samaira has changed from hatredness and irritation into love and care.  Now a days he spends most of the time with his family. He avoids Richa and doesn't meet her other than during office hours.A wild, bright orange flame burnt in the west sky . The sky was filled with skillful strokes of reds and oranges and yellows. The Sun was gradually melting into the sky descending down below the horizon. The sky was illuminated by the horizontal rays of the setting sun just like a dying cigar. With the promise of a new day , the sun goes down paving the path towards ecstasy and jubilation.It was evening. A gentle breeze is blowing rustling through the leaves and creating a soothing sound. The fluffy clouds that appear like cotton candies have changed their colour from white to silvery grey. The sea presented a forbidding and cruel image sending a warning of the dark secrets that the blue-black waters with held. A strong gale of wind tangled his hair into knots just like the complicacies of his life as Nishith drove back to his home from office. He gazed at the twilight sky filled with stars and heaved a sigh of relief.In the parking area of his apartment, he meets Mr. Sharma who was wearing a cervical collar neck band and looked sad. Nishith comes from behind and pats his shoulder. " Mr. Sharma..." , Nishith calls him from behind.He mumbles in pain holding his neck with his both hands and tries to look up. " How are you? " , Nishith asks with a smile." Get lost. I don't want to talk to you. " , Mr. Sharma replies out of anger." Hey... Dog's collar ? " , Nishith asked by noticing the collar band around his neck." What happened? What's wrong? " , Nishith asks again out of concern." It's your fault." , Mr. Sharma replies out of irritation as his eye brows were drawn closer forming a furrow on his forehead." My fault? " , Nishith asks out of confusion scratching his chin.To be continued in next part.Stay tuned. ( Guys... Do express your honest views after reading this chapter.
