Ronjon went back to work and left the three. The elder let her try mixing her own spices. She showed the old man her first mix. Abhik just took a quick sniff and cringed, throwing everything to the garbage.
"How do you know it wasn't good?"
Asha clasped the note on her chest as warmth filled her. She couldn't comprehend why, but she knew she was really happy. The rose's relaxing scent spread throughout the small netted place, encouraging her to pick up the flower itself. Somehow, anxiousness mixed in between this blissful moment was like the rose’s thorn plucking a thread from the silk pillowcase.
The sun was high above the sky. Ronjon paced up and down, as he waited for Asha, hoping all hopes to hear her sweet yes before he leaves to work. But to his dismay, she remained in her room until the time was up. He thought of going to her room but controlled himself. Rather, he told the housekeeper he’d be back for lunch.While Ronjon pondered inside her room, A
The kiss was sudden, so was the parting. Asha pushed him away after the kiss. "Excuse me, I… I need to close the window in my room." She ran to her room, closed the window, and put the curtain in place. Ronjon followed and waited for her to look back at him, but to his disappointment, she didn't. Her arms wrapped around her while her back on him."I said in my n
Abhik, Ronjon, and Asha walked into an elegant restaurant filled with foreigners' dining. They chose a table at a corner. The dining hall was British in always: chandeliers, wine glass, spoons, forks, table knives, table napkins, champagnes, waiters wearing white long sleeves and bow, cushioned chairs, and a grand piano with a pianist playing foreign instrumental songs.
Monojit sat in silence, but ready to blow like a volcano at any minute. When he arrived home, his mother was the one who greeted him and his father avoided him.Monojit laid his body on the bed, but couldn't find rest. He sat at the edge, head down, and his palms propping his head. "What is going on? Why father won't talk to me? Even Ma won't say a word. Oh my god, thi
Ronjon waited in Harry's office for the files archived in the court for Ninu Das' death sentence. An hour after, Harry came back with a single paper in hand and handed it to Ronjon."Read it."
Monojit started his day with a new outlook on his marriage. He took his father's car and let the driver drive directly to Ananya's house. They arrived outside a big gate, well-manicured lawn, and a large house with house helpers swarming about the place doing their chores. He didn't see these when they came here first, for his mind was still muddled at that time, but right now he saw what kind of family his future wife came from. A rich family indeed. Just exactly what my mother wished for.The family welcomed him and he requested to talk with Ananya alone. The parents allowed them, but they sat somewhere within earshot.The couple sat opposite each other in the living room. Silence prevailed. Monojit took in the sight of her. Ananya sat there with her head bent, her eyes looking down, and her hands on her lap, just like a well-mannered lady. She was flustered with his stares, but as her fiance; it was his privilege. As for the fiance, for the first time, he noticed how lovely she wa
Ronjon drove his way to Nirabpur and contacted his Uncle discreetly.In Taajwar's study, they drank tea as they discussed the events in the past days."I never thought this organization is this large and violent. Good to hear nothing happened to both of you. How about Monojit?""I'm heading to Paak for that. How was it after the arson?""Some good, some bad. My Inn is the one receiving the blunder. They harassed people. We're losing customers. Concerning Gabina and Hakoon, they are living with us so they are far from harm. The good thing is that our souvenir shop couldn't be stopped. Since it's the only one providing souvenir items, the district office sent men to protect the foreigners and our shop too.""I'm glad to hear that, Uncle." Ronjon took another sip with his lukewarm tea."No qualms here. I can handle them. In fact, I can feel they are slowing down." Taajwar lightly tapped the table."Don't you think the move for Independence slowed them down?"Taajwar’s fingers halted in de
