While sitting in her room Eshu was thinking about the money she has to manage for her college admission. But how will she manage it?? She also needs money to pay for her house rent, all these thoughts were swirling in her head. For that she started feeling uneasy.
To distract herself from these worries she picked up the laptop. She suddenly saw a private folder that had some pictures of her and her boyfriend. She opened that folder and started looking at those pictures. All of these were reminding her the special moments of them that she spent with him. Suddenly her eyes stucked in one picture which they clicked at her twenty-two birthday. She was wearing a short black dress and he was in a white shirt with blue jeans. They went on a long drive, while he was driving the car she sat on his lap and kissed him deeply. Seeing the pictures of that day, all the memories of the past came to her mind which made her more disturbed. She got angry with herself. Despite her repeated attempts, she could not forget him, the situation kept her reminding him.
she promised herself that she won't let him play with her emotions anymore, she will remove his existence from her life.
She deleted all the pictures with him. Suddenly a call came on her phone, it was Jamy, her school life's best friend. As soon as she picked up the phone Jamy angrily said,
Hlw, Are you dead? Where the hell were you, huh? I have been calling you for almost a week, why didn't you answered any of my calls??
She didn't know what to say to calm her down but she replied, I'm sorry, I was a little busy. (Eshu)
Busy? Busy in what? As far as I know that you still didn't get a job and I called your auntie she told me you didn't picked her calls either. (Jamy)
Eshu kept silent as she didn't know how to explain her about her miserable condition.
Seeing her remaining silent Jamy said,
Listen Eshu, we all have ups and downs in our life but that doesn't mean you push away all those who's close to you, just share them with us. I know it won't fix your problems but at least it can ease your mind a bit.
Yes, you are right, I should have returned to your calls, I'm sorry. (Eshu)
Its ok, now tell me. What were you doing? (Jamy)
Just deleting his picture. I don't want to see his face anymore. (Eshu)
Finally, you are over with him. (Jamy)
Maybe, I'm just trying to remove his memories from my mind. (Eshu)
You know what else can help you with that?? (Jamy)
What? (Eshu)
Dating someone else. (Jamy)
What, I'm not going to do that, I'm not ready for another relationship. (Eshu)
Okay, then don't date but at least talk to someone. It will help you to get over with him, trust me. (Jamy)
I don't know about it, but I'll try. By the way what college are you going to admit for graduation? (Eshu)
May be Dhaka City college, my parents were talking about it, what about you? (Jamy)
I got allowed in the admission test of Knowledge for Arts. (Eshu)
Oh my god, really!!! It is the biggest college in our country. Congratulations, I'm very happy for you. (Jamy)
Thanks but I won't admit there because It will cost me a lot of money. (eshu)
What, but it was your dream college. You talked about it since our childhood. Why don't you ask your auntie? she can lend you some money. (Jamy)
No. I can't ask her. She had already done a lot. She is already paying all the expenses of my mother's treatment, I can't ask for more. Don't worry, I will admit in some ordinary college. (Eshu)
Okay,if you say so. I have to go now, my mom is calling, talk to you later (jamy)
Bye, she hanged up the phone and again opened the laptop, the words of her friend were running through her mind so she opened her Facebook account and started sending friend request to many unknown boys.
At Sahtaj Mahal
Jerry returned home from his office after five hours later. He was about to entered his room then the maid, Ruby called him. She told him that Mrs. Xavier wanted to talk to him. So he went on her room and saw a depressed look on her face.
What happened Grandma? Are you felling ok? (Jerry)
No I'm not. I want to feel ok but I can't. (Mrs. Xavier)
Why? (Jerry)
Don't you know why? Why did you come back so late? We were waiting for you Jerry. (Mrs. Xavier)
I'm really sorry Grandma, it's just our company is dealing with a new client, that's why it took me so long to come home. (Jerry)
Don't make excuses, please. You are doing this for almost five years. Why are you doing this, huh? Don't you want me to die peacefully? (Mrs. Xavier)
Grandm, please stop it. (jerry)
No, I won't. That girl (jui) was waiting for you, you didn't even talk to her. What's your problem with her? You know that she cares for you. She made a dish for you but you didn't even care. Why do you behave like this always? How long are you going to live with the past? You have to let it go Jerry. (she shouted at him)
I don't want to talk about this. (Jerry)
But you have to. It's been five years Jerry, she is gone, we don't know even if she's alive or not. Please stop thinking about her. Let her go. (Mrs. Xavier)
As Jerry was remaining silent, Mrs. Xavier hold his hand and said to him, listen dear, I don't want to be mad at you. You mean the world to me. I want you to live happily and peacefully with someone who truly loves you. I want you to be with someone that will look after you after I'm gone. So please stop living like a heartless person, you used to be so joyful, I missed that Jerry.
She continued, Jui is a good girl, I like her. I think she will be a good match for you. Just give her a chance. Think about it, ok?
Okay, Grandma, Jerry answered her by giving her a smile and went on his room. He locked the door of his room and opened a drawer inside his wardrobe. He then took out small box from there. Inside the box, he took out a pink scarf which had some blood stain on it and beside it there was a locket which has the name Amy written on it. Holding them he started crying….
