Everyone says memories fade with time. This is wrong. Our mind does not let us forget anything, the beating heart and the nerves of the brain, all together conspire continuously to remind us of the past. That’s why, as soon as she closes her eyes, those memories sit on her eyelids and make her eyes moist. When she sits alone, those memories sit next to her and try to talk to her.
She gets up and goes to the other room. She goes to the kitchen and starts washing the dishes, but she follows him carefully, as if she were his companion. He is forced to return to the past where there is no one else but Cislay. It is not possible, as he has sacrificed all his relations just for her.
Kislay, who loved to the point of madness. To say that love is not is to deceive yourself. If you love someone that much, they live in you. Distance may come, but feelings for him do not die, the desire to do anything for him does not stop. If she says she no longer loves Kislay, she would be ignoring her own heartbeat.
Well, how could she leave the one she had once loved to the point of madness, who had always remained her ideal and with whom she had gone to the temple, laughed a lot, dressed up and around?
When she’s in the office, her eyes are glued to her laptop, or she’s talking to colleagues or meeting clients who come and go, so memories don’t beat. Or even if she did, he wouldn’t have heard her knock in the middle of his busy schedule. But despite the songs that play on YouTube on holidays, he clearly hears the sound of memories of the past.
“Sometimes I scare your girlfriend, Sukanya,” Kislay used to say. She would then hold him tighter in her arms. “Do miracles? People are looking for such lovers who can shower passionately on them and here sir, being drenched in the hand of my lover, he gets so scared that he starts looking for a shed to escape. “
“As crazy as your love, so are your words. Can’t you be normal?” If Kislay told her that, she would laugh and plant a series of kisses on his cheeks. “You’re so good and sweet that it’s impossible to stay normal.”
“There was no shortage in the fort. Not in appearance, nor in power, nor in wealth. He had a good jewelry business, but when he introduced Kislay to his father, he rejected the relationship.
Sugamya was furious and Kislay was also surprised. He folded his hands and said very patiently in a quiet voice, “Uncle, believe me, I will always keep your daughter happy. I won’t give you any chance to complain.”
“I know you will keep her happy, but I still refuse this relationship.”
Kislay had gone and created a storm in the house. “After all, why don’t you want my happiness or because I’m the only one, you always want to keep me at home so that I can be your support in your old age? That’s why he always considered me his son. Don’t worry, I will take care of you and your mother even after marriage. Kislay is also not like that who would throw tantrums as your son-in-law instead of being your son.”
Papa went quietly into his room. Mother also followed. She was gone too, but they had closed the door. He listened carefully. When the mother asked, the father said, Kislay is a quiet and serious kind of boy. Looking at him, he seemed to have the meditative consciousness like a Buddha and our daughter was of a carefree nature. Playful and agile like a fast flowing river. It will be difficult for Kislay to maintain his flow.”
“If he has patience, he will be able to handle Sugamya easily. Then what’s the problem?”
“Until when? You can understand the consequences of such relationships.” Hearing this, Sugamya’s anger flared up further. Are you a father or an enemy? Do not think well of your own daughter.
She had somehow spent the night and reached Kislay’s house in the morning itself. “I want to marry you today itself?”
“What are you saying?” Kislay was surprised. His parents were standing in front, his younger sister was standing.
“Auntie, uncle sorry. I have come to your house like this, but if you allow, can we get married? My father does not agree. I’ve left home.”
What would Kislay’s parents say? He began to look towards his son.
“Sugamya, I will convince your father. you go back Let me drop you home.”
“Can’t go back. I have written a letter saying that I will never return. My stuff is kept outside. The rest is your choice.”
When she turned to go back, Kislay held her hand. He was afraid he might do something. He knew Sugamya and understood him too. Anger remained on his nose, but his heart was clean. Kislay also loves her, although not with the same passion as her. He could not see her in pain. Her parents wanted to marry their only son with great pomp, but she was adamant that he should only marry then.
He took the rounds. Kislay’s family accepted her completely and she got lost in her new world. Everything was going well, then I don’t know why Sugamya felt that he was not happy. Why? she didn’t know. Kislay asked, is there any problem? Is there something strange? He had no answer. Everything was perfect.
Kislay had company, cooperation and all kinds of comfort. She was given no responsibility at home, given that she was working. Although she did not need to work for money, Kislay knew that Sugamya liked to work and liked to meet people. She always said she would not leave her job after marriage. Kislay was not in the habit of putting pressure on anyone. Even if something seemed bad he would remain silent. But Sugamya would either get angry or sulk at every little thing. And every time Kislay would convince him, even though his parents could not tolerate their son bowing like this.
“It’s not right to put this burden on your wife. And first of all, he is stubborn and stupid. You are such a calm nature. How does one put up with his arbitrary behaviour?” Kislay’s mother had already said that one day. She was a mother, there must be pain! Sugamya heard it, not once, but many times. Kislay remained silent every time. Not taking Sugamya’s side, not protecting her.
She was upset. Kislay celebrated and loved a lot.
Sugamya seemed to be enjoying this game of coaxing and coaxing. One day I said to Kislay’s sister, “Are you still sulking like a child?” You are the head of a business, how do you work in the office? Is there anyone there to persuade?”
Sugamya got angry. “Who are you to speak between husband and wife? “Whether Kislay convinces me, loves me or does whatever, what’s important to you?”
Kislay’s sister got angry, mother and father got angry too! “First of all, I made you the daughter-in-law of my house, and besides, your behavior is not good. You can’t talk to my daughter like this. And why don’t you listen, if you don’t like living with us then leave.”
“It’s your daughter’s fault.” She was upset. Kislay did not agree. Because of his mother and sister he couldn’t even say anything. He went to his friend’s house. When Kislay did not come, he moved to the company hotel. When he didn’t come again, they rented a house. It has been eight months since he has been living alone. All the time the thought of Kislay dominates her mind, but ego gets in the way and she doesn’t call him, she doesn’t pick up her phone. So, was what Papa said right? She’s playful, playful… but why can’t you handle me?
The bell was ringing continuously at the door. With a broken heart and sadness he opened the door.
Kislay was standing in front of him smiling. “Enough of your capriciousness and sulking. Agree now.”
Sugamya hugged him. “Why didn’t you come and convince me earlier?”
