PROFESSOR AMAR'S FREQUENT VISITS

 

           Nothing remained same ....

                                Anirudh stopped coming to his masi ma's house ,

                                Runi  went in silent mode ,

                                Sumit was extra helpful and too careful with Chhaya .

            Chhaya missed her classes , but her friends always send her imp notes and other project work . Anjali was now more worried for Anirudh , she even went to his house carrying dinner but he was never home , he now eats and sleep at his office .

                         Today , Anjali broke down infront of Philip , she was blaming herself , she want Anirudh to come back , he is not receiving any call either ......

         Today , during breakfast Panchi mentioned Anirudh , she missed him a lot . This brought tears in Anjali's eyes , but the very next moment she got angry , she was angry at Arunima , Anjali blamed her for all the misery her eldest son was going through .

                " Mom... you don't know the other side of the story , Arunima's side ..." Sumit took a stand for Anirudh's wife . 

       " Yes Sumit ...you , where do you  go after your  class , huh ,,,,you are so absent mind  now a days and  you are never present for dinner too ."

       Neel got up to leave before his mom find any fault about him , so did Panchi .

        Only Chhaya was left behind , Anjali  came near her , gently touching her short hair , running her fingers through it .

           " You have suffered so much , don't be always sad , we will never let your husband reach you , even if he comes across  you  ,we will not let him take you away , Philip had already made all the papers .......",        " I'm sorry Chhaya , you have to bear all these family drama..... , but Anirudh is no less than a son to me , I just hate that day when he married Arunima " 

          She kissed her forehead lovingly ,  a tear escape Runi's eyes , she will never become the reason for her sorrow , she  will fulfill her every wish as a command from GOD, after all  Dr Anljali was her saviour , her mother  , Runi hugged her by her waist .

 

       That evening , the siblings reached first , Sumit brought some Indian street foods that Runi loves to eat .

          After sometime Anjali also reached , she got busy with dinner preparation , Chhaya was helping with the vegetables .

                 The door bell rang , Sumit went to open , Panchi followed , maybe her favourite brother came . 

               Chhaya  felt her heart beat ....faster ....may be he came , 

            After a few seconds both returned ........

        "Chhaya , you have  a visitor ......." Panchi said out loud , teasing her with eyes .

                   It was professor  Amar , today he took extra care in dressing himself , the light blue suit made the gloomy house  light up .... and his smile , female students from other departments wait for his one look ,so many students wait for him after the classes are over  just to bid give him goodbye and shameless ones from other departments even place red roses in his car , his  female students approach him everyday taking silly problems , he respond them as teacher , he knows what he can do but his heart already belonged to someone .......... 

                      He never comes empty hand ,  today he brought  a boquet of  lily , Chhaya was allergic to lily , 

     Prof Amar smiled and greeted Anjali , then he took the boquet towards Chhaya , before he could reach Sumit took hold of it ....

       " Sorry  Sir  , ...but Chhaya is allergic to lily , even mom have to put away all her lily plants  far from our house "  Panchi  came forward and took the boquet from Sumit , 

         " but , I love ...lilies ... thank you sir , " she said smelling them .

        Today was the 8th time he came to visit Chhaya , she was absent for only two weeks . He mostly comes during tea time and leaves after an hour or so , all the siblings respect him as a professor , even if he said that he was Anirudhs friend , they always regard him as sir , Amar did't like it though , he want to be a part of their family .

             Whenever Amar  comes , he always spend time  with Philip and Anjali , no doubt everyone in the house know he have a soft corner for Chhaya .....

            Today , he never left Chhaya , he always reach near her , if she is in kitchen he excuse himself to fetch a glass of water , if she sits in the living room he sits next to her , Chhaya was very disturbed inside , she was not even talking much , but Amar want to have a talk , alone with her .

                           Amar stayed for dinner , Anjali asked him to  , it was pre planned which the kids didn't know ....Anjali prepared two different types of fish ....one was the bhappa Ilish( steam cooked), and another was the katla kalia , to go with it she prepared plain white rice , Chhaya helped her with all the dishes , she was good with fish items it was a part of their daily diet .

               Amar was very delighted to have something he like , that too abroad . The three have a disgusting look on their face , they can't complain ,guest was enjoying every bit of it .........Chhaya however made extra egg curry for her siblings that goes well with plain rice .

                  After dinner , Chhaya found herself sitting  alone with Prof Amar , the three left for their rooms , Philip have a case to prepare and Anjali got herself busy with the pending laundry .

                  Chhaya don't know how to leave the guest alone , it was late but today it seems like he came for a sleep over , not even once , he mentioned about leaving .

          Amar  spoke first , " Chhaya ....., "
