It was cold and chilly day in the end of November, Anna with her brothers was sitting in the balcony and playing indoor games, and suddenly phone rang.
"What was the call about mummy.", Anna asked.
"Its your Mausi's wedding so we have to go to Kolkata for shopping and get ready for the functions.", Anna's mother replied gently.
Anna became super excited after listening to this. She ran to her father for giving the news. As she reached to her father she said," Papa do you know its Mausi's wedding and we have to go to Kolkata for shopping and functions".
Father without giving the attention said,"Ok! Now i am busy I will talk to you later".
Anna came to her mother and said everything that her father said her. Anna's mother patiently said," Its ok, papa is busy right now so he will talk to you and listen to you later. For now go and do your homework".
Anna went inside the room but was still so much excited and really can't wait to go to Kolkata and enjoy.
Its was around 2:00 pm in afternoon and Anna's father came to eat his lunch. Anna was just waiting for him to finish the lunch so that she can go and talk to him. But Anna's father was tired so he slept after eating.
It was evening 5:00pm and Anna's father called Anna to talk to him but Anna was unable to answer him as she was on the terrace playing with the brothers and seeing Abir from her terrace. Since Anna and Abir were neighbors they could see each other through terrace.
Anna's father again shouted," Anna where are you, I am waiting for you come down fast".
This time Anna heard the voice of her father and replied," Yes papa just 2 minutes I am coming".
Anna went down to her father and said the whole thing that her mother told she had talked on the phone.
Anna's father said,"Ok! you wait I will talk to your mom and discuss what we have to do next". After saying this Anna's father left the place and she also went back to her brothers for playing with them.
Anna was little worried as no one was talking about going to the Kolkata. So she decided to talk to her mom.
"Mummy when are we going to Kolkata", Anna asked her mother.
"Here are the tickets. Take it and keep it safely. By tomorrow morning's train we are leaving for Kolkata", Anna's father came out of room and said to Anna happily.
Anna was very happy seeing the ticket and she was going to enjoy the trip and she was very excited about it. But at that time suddenly she remembered about Abir that if she goes to Kolkata she won't be able to meet him or see him. Anna ran towards the terrace and since it was a little dark Anna could not decided to call or not to call Abir. But Abir came to his window without Anna's calling.
Anna crossed the terrace as she had one terrace joint so she had to cross the terrace to talk to Abir.
"I am going to Kolkata tomorrow and will be back after some weeks." Anna said to Abir.
"I know this. Your brother Ash told me about it. You go and enjoy and have fun. Don't think about me when you come back I will be here only". Abir replied with a smile.
Anna was happy to know this that Abir is not sad and was happy for her.
"Now you go down and start your packing you have to leave tomorrow", Abir said to Anna.
"Ok! I am going now. Tomorrow by 10:30 am will be leaving so be in the balcony to wave me off.", Anna said and left.
Anna came down and helped her mother in packing. By night 11:00 pm everything was packed and they were ready. Everyone went to sleep and they have to go by morning.
It was next day 6:00 am Anna waked up by her own and was filling the water bottle as they have to leave by 10:30 am.
Anna's mother saw her and said,"For school you never get up early and for goinh out you are so energetic that you waked up by your own".
"Mummy stop talking and do the work fast we have to leave else we will get late", Anna with lots of energy replied.
Anna and her mother was ready by 8:00am so Anna went to wake up her father.
"Papa get up its we are getting late", Anna said.
"I am not feeling well I don't know what is happening but something is wrong", Anna's father said.
"Oo! you might have ate something wrong in thing wrong in last days that is why you are feeling like that. Wait I will give you some medicine so that you can feel better", Anna's mother said to Anna's father in a soft manner.
Anna's mother gave the medicine and she became busy with the work. It was 10:00 am and everyone was ready to go. The car was also waiting so them.
"Are you feeling better now. If not then we will not go and postponed the trip", Anna's mother asked to Anna's father.
"No! after taking the medicine its feeling better we shall go now. We are getting late.", Anna's father replied.
"Mummy, Papa come fast", Anna shouted from inside the car.
The luggage was kept in the car and everyone was ready. Anna was looking on the balcony of Abir but he was not there. Anna became a bit sad but did not showed on her face.
They were about to leave. Anna waved her hands towards her family as a sign that they are leaving and for last time saw towards the balcony of Abir. He was standing there and he too waved his hands towards Anna. Anna waved back and she smiled and they left the place.
Anna was looking to Abir from the back mirror of the car. Both were just smiling by looking at each other. Anna then turned front but her smile didn't disappear.
They reached the station and the train was on time and so they settled themselves on there particular seat number and Anna was happy to get a window seat and was enjoying the journey.
