Same thing running in his mind all the time even after reaching home, having dinner or when he laid on bed to sleep but when he slept a sweet voice awaken him.
“Rayman” voice is from Anna and he is inside dream as usual.
“Yes, what is it?”
“What after love, what you want after that?”
“I want to marry you.”
“Then”
“We will have kids”
“So you love me just for kids, you can adopt kids”
“No my dear, not just for kids”
“Then”
“I want you to take to my mom. I want you to have conversation with my elder brother, his wife, my mom, my younger sister and her son. You know she has little four years old son. He is so cute.”
“Really, I love to come with you. What else?”
“I want you to meet my friends Vishu and her wife Raina.”
“But they are your friend naah”
“Yes but they are really good and when you meet them you also become their friend”
“Really, OK what else?”
“I want to care you, love you for rest of my life.”
“Hmm-Hmm. Anything else?”
“I will cook for you and I will do all the work with you always”
“Hmm”
“I want you to come with me for parties with friends.”
“Hmm”
“I want you to stay awake with me all night and talk to me.”
“My parent will never permit for it.”
“What, talking to me whole night!!!”
“No yaar, marrying you”
“Really, but why?”
“Because it is India and here love and emotions come after caste region and religion”
“I understand but we can try to make them understand and if they don’t agree than we will elope and then marry and I promise I will remain as their own son my whole life. I will try to persuade them my whole life and take care of them”
“What if they don’t change their minds?”
“I will also not change my mind of persuade them.”
“Really, what will you do if I get angry?”
“I will do whatever you want first thing then I will take you out for dinner and if you like I can cook at home and we can go for shopping and I will hear everything you want to say, I will not say anything when you will scold me, I will hear your every threat like songs and I will sing for you.”
“OK-OK my dear darling.”
“And I promise I will never get angry with you, I want to grow old with you, we will have kids and in our old age I want to sit with you in our balcony and talk and listen to you whole day and evening.” Rest of the night has gone in conversation between Anna and Rayman.
Next day Wednesday morning Rayman reached office an hour late and by that time everyone is back from breakfast, he went directly to his seat without saying anything to anyone.
“You came late intentionally.” Shiksha asked him.
“No, I was not able to awake”
“Sir, forget it now” Sonia said next.
“Go back to work” Rayman said with so intense voice that none dared to say anything further.
Lunch time is also not different, one again Rayman denied to for lunch and this time Upen insisted to stay with him for lunch but Rayman convinced him to go with others. Anna went with everyone for lunch. There is no difference for other at lunch just Rayman is missing, everyone talking about their work and daily life. Jiya is sharing some incidence from her PG, Shiksha is not happy in her PG, Sonia is also saying the same but about her home, how she is not feeling free living at home. Upen, Rahul is not talking much, Anna discussing about her work and she is happy now coming this office as it save her one hour of travel in morning and one in evening.
Ice-cream treat and evening snacks are no different than lunch, Rayman stayed at his desk and Thursday is no different from Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday evening Shiksha and Rayman are having conversation at Rayman seat.
“Sir, for how many days your fast going to last?”
“I am not on any fast except Monday”
“I know you are not eating anything”
“Off course I am eating after you guys, and I am eating dinner at home too.”
“Anna was asking today”
“What?”
“That why aren’t you coming for lunch or breakfast?”
“I am doing what she wants from me and now she has problem in it too.”
“She is not having problem in anything, she just saying that she stopped you from staring not coming on lunch or breakfast.”
“Whatever, she doesn’t want me with her and I am doing this for her wish.”
“Why you doing this sir, she really doesn’t want it, she already told Sonia that someone provoked her against you. She just said in anger she doesn’t mean to insult you. Why are you creating scene in her last days? You were saying that you will give her happiness and joy in those days.”
“I am doing the same”
“You are giving her guilt nothing else”
“Leave it, we will see it later, if she want me with her she have to say it to me”
“You want her to apologize to you”
“No, she just needs to talk to me and that will do”
“You two are weird”
“Thanks”
Friday is also no different even after everyone tried to convince him to come out but he is rigid on his words. In evening Shiksha came at is seat to inform him.
“Anna has to come on Saturday”
“Who else is coming from her team?”
“Dee Pee is coming to make sure that she will remain busy in work and rest of her team is in Noida so no one is coming.”
“Is anybody coming from our team?”
“No, nothing is pending in our team.”
