The journey started in early morning. and for enjoyble journey all arrengments are there. They are going to Srijagannathpur their home town. In the car, the members are Sunil, peyush, jyotiranian and Deepek, and definitly driver of the car and the car is running on the highway. It is already discussed that the distance between Subarnpur and Srijagannathpur is nearly one thousand kilometres and the time required to reach at other city is thirteen hour if the car run at eighty kilometer per hour with a tea break of thirty minutes.
They have already travelled certain distance, the Subarnpur is now behind hundred kilometers and now the car is running at the boundary of forest.
They have to travel twelve hour more to reach at thair home. Thay start discussion and it is is highly required at this time to pass the time and it is also a critical situation where so many things are there to discuss. All have informed their parents about their journeyThe music system in car is fine They have already taken snacks but within this one hour.
So the only way to discuss various matter to cover this twelve hour
Discussion started.
Sunil tell everyone that only three days leave is granted so we have to return back to our college, that means we may stay in our home only two days
But we are going to bring the permission letyer from our home so this time is sufficient, replied Jyotiranjan.
Another friend Piyush breaks his silence and tell others that bringing permission letter for this reason is not a difficult task atall but for Sunil the case is different. his father is a sucessesfil businessman so he may not allow his son Sunil to work under another company.
Sunil listened this statement and replied without anger. He tell his friends that he also want to work independently.
But you require permission letter from your parents, then only college authority can send you for training
Did you explained all the matter and reason of visit to home to your parent asked Jyotiranjan
Sunil replied that he had not informed anything to his parents, he had only informed about the visit to home only.
Si it is very difficult for you to get permission letter., but we are sure that you will get selected in interview very easily perticularly in that company where Prof Biswavijayee Sir is working as director. other three friends Jyotiranjan, piyush and deepak tell it at a time..
Sunil didnot reply a smile appeared in his face. Everyone become sure that Sunil is accepting this statement. In other way we may consider it is acceptable, Sunil is elligible and capable so selecting him or recommeding his name for selection is not a incorrect decision
After discussion about Sunil everyone want to discuss aboit some other thing because there is no more thing to discuss about Sunil.
But before starting discussion about any other matter one matter related to Sunil come to one friend's mind and without wasting time he tell it to others.
Now discussion started about a new matter but that is related to Sunil. Now discussion is going on about Miss Sagarika They asked Sunil about that. Sunil explained them that actually Miss Sagarika belongs to very poor family and for her this training programme is very imortant. At the same time he tell them that he had not discussed anything about Miss Sagarika with Prof Biswavijayee Sir.
They hope for sucesses of Miss Ssgariks in interview.
In this eay discussion continued aboit various matter.
After some time the car stopped and the driverinform the friends that here snacks and coffee is available.
All the friends come out side of the car and noticed a coffe shop near road side., but is there anything surprising Yes they are now at a Large distanca from city and here only forest is present no villege or small town is present near this area, actually till Srijagannathpur there is no village or town. so how the coffee shop is running.
The coffeeshop owner parhaps understand their questioning eyes and explain them thattruly no such is present near this area but coffee shop is required so with certain planning we are managing this shop.
But how you are man aging?
The coffee shop is remaining open throughout the day that means twentyfour hours and we are taking the charge shiftwise, actually we are bringing all the required things from the city..
Everyone get the information and understand that to some extent.
The shopkeeper give the information that there are soany coffeeshop and hotels is present at the side of highway to Srijagannathpur, although no village or town is there, so they can get the eatables at time of requirement.
The journey starts again.
This time they change the matter of discussion.
Sunil tell everyone that they may not able to reach at home before dinner time.
This time the driver break his silence as the matter is connected to his driving ability.
He replied with confidence that they may able to reach at evening, he has experience of driving in this highway.
The students also inform them that they arr also not newcomer in this highway, Srijagannathpur is their hometown and they are studying in the city Subarnpur, but the pressure of study reaserch and project work keeping them so much busy that they become unable to visit home frequently., for that reason they have very less information about this highway.
The driver informed them that the city Srijagannathpur is a very large city and you are going to four different places of that city those are at large distance from eachother, so the nearest one may reach before dinner time.
The students discuss among themselves after getting this information, actually that information did not please them. According to the driver's statement the student whose home is nearest one can reach before dinner time but that is possible if they run without any disturbance and noone can give guaranty about that. There may be number of police checking for driving license or pollution under control cirtificate and also overspeeding is a punishable offense. Mistake or carelessness of other car driver also may cause the travel time longer. So they become sure that they may not able to reach at home or home town before dinner time. Thinking about these things they become worry to some extent.
Sudden ringing of mobile phone draw their attention. Sunil mobile phone is ringing and the call his from his father Mr Samarudra. It is not necessary to mention that without wasting a moment Sunil received the call. Mr Samrudra asked him about their journey and tell them to remain careful. He informed them to run the car in permissible speed only as police checking for overspeeding is generally carried on on that highway. He also informed them to be careful about stopping the car at unknown place.Atlast he give one important information, he informed that they have not to worry about journey time and time of arrival at Srijagannathpur city because he will be present near border of Srijagannathpur city with Dr Asutosh, Prof Binayak and Mr Niranjan to receive. them. He inform Sunil to share that message to other friends and to also the driver of the car so that he may not overspeed to reach earlier.
After getting this information all feel relaxed and start the music system of car.
The driver also feel relaxed and tell the students to thank their parents for so careful attitude.
The journey continued enjoying music and discussing various matter, at the same time obeying all traffic rules and instruction of their parents.
When anyone keep patience and continue work obeying all rules and regulations obviously he get donot fall in any problems.
This thing happens here. so they reach near border of Srijagannathpur city nearly dinner time. The border means the north eastern end of the city. They find their a luxurious big car, yes Mr Samarudra and his friends received them with great pleasure. Allof them enter to that big luxurious car., and all moved toward the bungalow of Mr Samarudra and the rented car also follow as the luggages of the students are kept there.
The students that mean Sunil, piyush, Jyotiranjan and, Deepak have not to worrry about anything now, but they have to answer the questions, yes the parents have always so many questions regarding study and other activities so definitly they have to face it. Before reaching at the bungalow ine question come. Prof Binayak asked them the reason of this visit as it is not semester break time and it is also not a festival break. The students informed the matter to some extent and in a confusing way to avoid the matter of permission letter. However Prof Binayak remain silent and donot ask any more questions perhaps excusing them them to provide them rest.
They reach at the bunglow.
It is not necessary to inform that a good dinner arrengement is awaiting them Everyone enjoy the dinner The students take rest together at that place.
In morning Mr Samarudra make arrengement to send other boys to their home, but just before the depaturr of students Dr Asutosh, Prof Binayak and Mr Niranjan rrach at that placr. Noticing them Mr Samarudra welcome them and cancel the arrengement of sending the boys to their home.. All the boys enter to the bunglow to enjoy music.
But the elders sit in the dtawing hall and discuss.They discuss about variois matter, yes they not only discuss about the reason of visit of their sons but also about the new construction project. They actually feel it very important to proceed for construction work that means collecting more informations about that. They remind the happenings of that day in the slum area of the city. They also feel it importsnt to visit that area again.
Suddenly one matter divert their attention when they notice that boys are also listening their discussion clearly standing behind them.
Mr Samarudra become angry and also all other friends., and tell the boys that it is not a good manner to hear anyone's discussion without permission or their knowledge.
The boysbeg excuse for that and inform them that they had come that place to tell something but noticing them busy in discussion they wait there.
The guardians excuse them and asked them to speak about the matter for which they had come.
Sunil and his friends remained silent, actually they had come here to discuss about training programme and permission letter but they are noticing the situation not suitable for that as their guardians are already in cetain problem. But thay also understand that they have to speak something to satisfy their guardians so Sunil inform that they want to visit various places of their home town perticularly the new waterpark of Srijagannathpur as they have come here after eight months.
All the guardians look toward them fo some time. But Sunil shows his intelligence and stand confidently, then the guardians grant his request.
ProfBinayak tell them with smiling face that the water park is actually made for youth so no permission required..
Other guardians laugh listening this.
The boys leave that place and truly go outside by motorbikes as number of motorbikes are present there.
Then the elder persons that means Prof Binayak, Dr Asutosh, Mr Niranjan and Mr Samarudra again discuss about their next step which will be helpful for new construction project. Actually they are discussing the same matter again and again, they also able to point out that, but they have no more information.
Mr Niranjan tell other that his residence and shop ate present in northon area of the city. The slum area and passage to the forest is not far from his shop so they have to start the venture without fear.
He tell other friends
Please come to my residence without wasting time, my residence is not a large one and no such luxurious arrengement is present,but will try my level best to provide all possible comfort to all my friends.
All the friends become verymuch emotional after listening this from their friends.
Everyone is very much worried to get some informations and at that time this type of statement energized them so much that all of them stand up to start the journey.
Truly they start the journey. This time they are nit going to waste a moment or the actual reason is something else. Because the activities are not acceptable for a venture.. Actually all are going to Niranjan's house to please him, this work is really acceptble.
Mr Niranjan is also feeling verymuch happy that so much rich persons are coming to his house.
within one hout and thirty minutes they reach at the northern part of the city where Mr Niranjan's residence is situated. Actually the city is very large for that reason this much time spent by powerful car.
All comeout of car and they arr now in front of Mr Niranjan's residence. That is a single storied may be atwo bedroom house. All enter inside the house with great pleasure
Mr Niranjan tell other that the slum area is just one kilometer from this place, I am calling one person of slum area who is my costumer and he will give us so many informations. They actually feel that it is the work they have to do bot some preparatiin or systematic arrengement will give a good result. But at this moment collection of some informations is acceptble.
Mr Niranjan tell others that the person may reach within some minutes then we can ask him in details about slum atea.
Prof Binayak explain all that the person may give some informations which he physically noticed but here analysis of informations is required That mrans I had not visited that slum area but now I can give some informations and that informations I have collected from newspapers of past two years.
Everyone become very happy after listening this. The method of collection of informations by reading the newspapers of past two years truly surprised them. The feel verymuch proud for his dedicated act.
Here what will be next question of friends is not a difficult question atall for anybody. Yes the next question must be about the details of informations that Prof Binayak had collected from newspapers.

The friends become very much impatient to know about the informations and ask Prof Binayak to describe that

This informations truly make the friends very happy and they cannot stop themselves to remark on it
Dr Asutosh stands up and tell him that from onward we will call you as Honorable Prof Sir..
Prof Binayak feel little uneasy by listening this and tell other that it is better to consider him as friend and for us friendship is more than any award.He also informed all that whatever informations he had collected is definitly valuable but that will be multiplied to several times when an actual resident of that area assists to clarify the doubts so we should also thank Mr Niranjan for his help. My informations may be termed as theoritical and his informations are practical when both the informations combine that will provide the clear picture.. But only theoritical informations or only practical informations may not be sufficient, for that reason I discuss about my research work so Mr Niranjan please do not mind for that. Actually your assistance is also solve so many problems.
Everyone become very happy again, truly speaking they consider this day as day of goodnews.
Suddenly some noise divert them from discussion.. The noise is just in front of their house.Everyone become very much worried for that noise and request Mr Niranjan to take steps for that as this is his area. Actually frim the noise they able to understand that so many peoples are discussing or quarlling. Mr Niranjan tell others to remain relax, he is going to notice the matter and he can solve the problems. Speaking this he moved toward the door and open it, but he noticed simething that make him happy.He remain silent and return back, noticing this other become surprised. But more surprise is still there.
They start asking various questions to Mr Niranjan about the persons and the sounds and also about his reaction to them.
Mr Niranjan tell. them to remain relaxed, he inform other to wait for a minutes.
Truly just after one minutes the door is opened. Everyone look toward that direction and it is a matter of great pleasure the noticed their sons. Yes Sunil and other three friends enter ti the room.
How was your experience in water park, did you enjoyed or not asked Dr Asutosh.
The boys remain silent.
Mr Niranjan asked them how did they come so earlier while the water park is permitted for five six hour, did you make some mistakes?
This time the boys have to answer.
So without wasting time they tell something. They tell that they had not visited waterpark they had only travelled here and there.
But why dud not you visited water park, that is really an amazing olace?
Actually we have something to inform you and after that we may visit water park.
This answer surprised all. Prof Binayak asked them to describe whatever they want.
With hesitatiinthe boys explain the matter of training progrsme and permission letter.
Sunil added simething with this informations, he explained that the incharge of this training programme Prof Biswavijayee Sir had also instructed them to visit some place of different catagory from us.
He remained silent for a while and then tell the elders that that type of experience we may get by entering to the slum area of our city.
The elders remain silent after listening these things. Actually thry couldnot decide how to react. The matter of taking permission please them but the matter of training programme and visit to slum area confuse them.
The elders discuss with eachother for some moments and reach at a conclusion.
They notice the boys arr waiting for their permission and remark and suggestion and instructions.
Dr Asutosh take the charge and explained the boys that thay are really pleased by listening about training and permission letter.We will give you the permission letter so nothing yo worry about that. About the visit to interior of slum area may be riskful.
Mr Niranjan explain them that the slum area is very near to this place and I have also some idea about that area.It is a matter to be noted that we we are also having plan to visit that slum area for some reason, but today we are feeling verymuch tired so we may visit that place tomorrow. At that time you all may cpme with us.
The boys remain silent.
This silence may not be considered as the acceptance. Actually they are not fully satisfied with the answer because Mr Samarudra is silent till this moment.
The elders however understand the situation and tell the boy to be relaxed.
Mr Samarudra also break his silence and tell the boys and perticulary Sunil that he has no objection in their trsining programme and he is very much pleased by by noticing this.Although we are having own businesd but I am not going to force Sunil to sacrifice his independent experience
Frankly speaking we should be free to discuss all the things. we should not hide any matter from parents.The matter that satisfy us that you all are not hiding anything and waiting for permission to take any step. Prof Binayak tell these words to satisfy the boys.
The most important matter is the discussion of elders truly disturbed by this new discussion, although this discussion pleased them to great extent.
Dr Asutosh tell the boys that from the discussion we get so many informations and we are really pleased, so donot worry for anything, we will definitly support you for fulfilling your dreams. So be relaxed and visit that water park, because still there is five hours in your hand to enjoy. I will send the water park charge by on line payment system.Please obey all the rules and regulations of water park and observe all safty rules.Well I may ask other elder persons that means my friends for their opinion on this proposal.
We all are agreed to your proposal, lets the boys enjoy.
All the friends tell this at a time
Listening this the boys become very happy and beg permission to start the journey toward water park.
It is not necessary to mention that they get the permission and start the journey within a moment.
On the way to water park Piyush asked to Sunil about the false information of requirment of visit to slum area. He also shows his anger considering it as a dishonour to elder.
Other two friends Jyotiranjan and Deepak also join with Piyush and tell him to give explanation
Sunil tell them in asweet voice that donot worry atall. Whatever I had done that is to assist the elders. Actually we had the informations from their discussion that they are planning to enter to the slum area for some investigation That is definitly very much riskful as the slum is a dangerous place for outsider. For that reason to assist them in investigation work I had done the mistake of speaking false in front of elders.
Other friends understand his actual intention andbecome very happy. They discuss with eachother that now the first work is to visit water park and enjoy The second work is to collect the permission letter in dinner time then the third work is to assist the elders in their investigation work in tommorow morning and the last work is to start thereturn journey to Subarnpur in evening
So the present work is to visit and enjoy water park.
So let's go.
Sunil tell everyone in a louder voice that Asutosh uncle had paid the fees of water park by on line payment system and if anyone want sone amount for other expenses then donot worrry atall I have good amount in this moment so let's enjoy.
What do you mean, you are telling directly that you are awelthy one., Other friend replied in more louder voice.
Please donot mind, my intention is not that. I am actually want to inform you that a good amount is present so we can enjoy there spending the amount.
Well, no problem, you also do notmind our words.
Discussing like this they reach near Water Park.
They notice presence if so many peopled perticularly young boys and girls thete.
Without wasting time they enter to the park and show the message of mobile about payment of required fee. The security pesonel welcome them and show them the path to reception.
The reception hall is abig hall fully air conditioned having all facility to take rest, but that is actually the information center of the water park. So many guides and stafffs are there to help the visitors. One of the guide come near the boys and inform them that, this is a plsce of enjoyment and I am presrnt here to guide you, I am getting payment from the management so dinot think about any payment, this service is free.
The boys become very happy getting this guide of nearly their age. The guide inform them that the ticket of water park allow you for all rides, rain dance and snacks, coffee and cold drinks. You have to do additional payment for lunch, energy drinks and for swimwear. The dress changing room and locker for keeping your dress and valuables is present here.
The boys tell him that they donot require lunch now but coffee or energy drink will be helpful. The most important matter is the swimwear, they have to purchase that.
The guide take them to snacks center and then to swim wear center.
Allthe boys look toward Sunil, because he has to do the payments and he also cooprate and now the boys are ready to enjoy the various ride and water game of water park. The guide also shiwvthem the right direction. After some time enjoying various rides they take the energy drinks and this time also Sunil cooperated. Actually they hadnot enjoyed like this before so they really become very happy.
They truly feel that the statement of the guide is really true this is a place of enjoyment, pleasure, amusement and so on..
The guide also feel happy by noticing the happiness of the guests. But he tell something different yes tell the boys that there are so many things are still present to enjoy.
In this way they enjoyed a lot.
At last they enter to rain dance hall. Music and colourful lights making the situation suitable for enjoyment so they started dancing.The guide also joined with them as he is also og their age group.
But something divert their attention The effect of that matter is not negligible. Sunil and his friends feel very much disturbed and stop their dance. The guide able to notice that and asked them the reason.
The boys replied to the guide very freely or frankly that they the presence of one girl is the cause.They tell it so frankly as the guide is also of their age
What are you telling, here number of girls are present, they are dancing and enjoying the raindance.
Girls are also allowed here. Please tell me where is the problem? the guide asked the boys.
The boys show him that perticular girl who is present at the snackscenter of that rain dance hall
It is clear from the description that the water oark has all kind of facity provided in each place to privide maximum pleasure. In rain dance hall also snackscenter is present so that in case of tiredness one can take snacks or coffee.
Thd guide looks toward that direction carefully and remained silent for some moment.
Noticing his silence the boys become more worried.
But the guide breaks his silence. and tell that,
this is the snackscenter, it is not a new information to you and the girl sitting there is in formal dress that means she is not enjoying raindance. Another matter is also to be noted that she is not in uniform of water park staff., so I have ask her to get actual informations. But before asking her anything I have to get some informations from you.Plese inform me why you are taking so much intrest in that matter.
The boys tell at a time that she is our friend.
This answer is seems to be incomplete. That means we come ti know that she is your friend but there is no explanation about the reason of worriness by notcing her presence in this water park.
She is a very good girl answered the boys.
That means you are telling only bad persons are entering to water park, the guide askd them just like a teacher.
No, the meaning of our statement is something different Actually she is our friend, we are studying in areputed institute. the matter that we want to keep hide that her financial condition is very bad so her presence can not be taken as a general case as the water park charge very high.
What do you mean? You want to tell that the poor persons has no independence to do enjoyment. Listen carefully the poor person may save some amount deducting some general expenditure and fulfil his/ her dreams. Another important matter you have to point out that the water park is taking low charge for partial visit or for single water rides or for only thirty minutes visit. the guide explained this to boys.
The boys replied the guide to explain their worriness for safty and dignity of their very loving friend. They explained that they are fesring that the girl is being captured by any bad person.
The guide shake his head indicating his acceptance of that statement.
Now the guide also become verymuch worried about that girl.
Yes that girl is Miss Sagarika, very loving one
All become very much worried for that poor girl.
Sunil become very much angry noticing presence of another boy near Miss Sagarika. He prepared to rush to that place at that moment but the guide stop him.
The guide tell him that the rules of the water park not permitting him to do that. Although here so many girls are moving with boys. That means here no boy is allowed to meet or discuss with any girl forcefully. If the girl want she is free to some extent to meet any boy and discuss.. Any misbehave to any girl will defame the park and cause a huge financial loss. For that reason the park aurhrity is very much strict on this matter.so please stop
Sunil request him to understand thevsituation, our friend Miss Sagarika is in danger and we have save her. He tell the guide with louder voice that he can paywhatever penalty the park authority demand but he has to save Miss Sagarika so he will not stop.
The guide explained him that he has no objection regarding helping that poor girl but here another problem is also present.
what's that new problem?
Look to yourslf, you are not in an acceptble dresscode to meet a girl so keep patience I am assuring you the safety of that girl. Informing this the guide look toward Sunil for his remark.
Sunil and other three friends understand they they are not in an acceptble dress code to meet a girl so they request the guide to handle the situation.
The guide rushed to that place without wasting a moment and discussed with Miss Sagarike for some minutes.
The boys keep a strict watch on that matter and try to understand what is going on there.
But after the discussion only, Miss Sagarika come towardthem and that matter pleased the boys. After reaching near the boys she also become very happy and she informed them that his elder brother is working here as snackscenter assistant and he is very much ill. But the park management is not granting leave so she is also coming with her. brother ti assist him in his work.
After listening this the boys become very much unhappy, they feel very sorry as they had thought very bad things about Miss Sagarika. They want to meet her brother but as they are not in proper dress they avoid that. They say goodbye to Miss Sagarika with heavy heart. In that time guide also come to that place and noticing him the boys discuss with him about that matter.
All of them return back to reception and wear their dresses in changing room. There is no sign of happiness in anyone's face as allbof them are only thinking about the miserable situation of loving one.
However they control themselves and start return journey to home.
Suddenly Sunil tell with a louder voice like announcement that he will definitly discusd with Prof Biswavijayee Sir for Miss Sagarika. Everyone becime very happy and agreed with his decision.
They truly feel that same destination doesnot mean that same purpose. They visited waterpark spending a high amount and enjoyed but Miss Sagarika is visiting that place to work as assistant. they decide to help her whatever possible by them.
Another matter also strike to their mind. That matter is visit to the slum area, now they able to understsnd that their presence may disturb the elders in their investigation work. They decide that the programme of visit to slum are with their elder is to be postponed.
Now they are having new plan and that is only return journey to Subarnpur after getting the permission letter from their guardians.
They reach at the bunglow of the welthy one means Sunil. and enter to the bunglow.
It is not necessary. to mention that after entering to the bunglow they get hearty welcome by Mr Samarudra and get treatment like prince.
However the boys arranged the permission letter from the guardians and after getting that they inform about return journey.
This informations surprised the guardians, but the boys however managed to satisfy them. The guardians also able to understand the importance presence in college so they allowed them to return..
The boys yes Sunil, Jyotiranjan, Piyush and, Deepak start the return journey taking blessing of their elders
