CHAPTER II

A week later she got a mail stating that she got selected from the company and she required to join in three days.

Rithania was overwhelmed with joy. It was something which she never expected to happen. After reading the mail she shouted, “Maa maa come here,come here soon Maa , I have got the offer finally Maa”

Her mom came and read the mail but as least expected she doesn’t dropped any sense of excitement on her face. Rithania was constantly watching to find her mom to blow up in rage but she was disappointed.

“What Mom you are not happy with these? It’s my dream Mom,to get placed on a job for which I am struggling so hard and now it’s happening but you are reacting nothing! After All, they wants me to join in couple of days Mom”,she said in moaning voice.

“I know beta you got what you want but it seems like someone gonna go far from someone for me…apart from that I am happy for your success beta”, her mother said sarcastically.

Then only she was realizing,the truth behind her mom’s sadness.

She smiled with her cheeks and said “then whom planned to get me married and send me away from home”.

“Arey you are relating which things for what you choti !”, her mother was also smiling now.

“Mom listen I am not leaving for forever right?? Don’t worry I am not so far. I will call u daily and show you some handsomest boys, whom you can accept as SON-IN-LAW. So don’t worry Mom. Wherever I am I will be your choti and if you show yours puppy face like this na.. I am seriously telling, I won’t leave anywhere and I won’t get married too. What say can we have a Deal? “and she laughed with the last sentence.

“What deal ?? Whom leaving where ?” ,her Dad was querying as he entered the home.

“Dad, one good news ! I got selected on the last interview I did and I am required to join in three days !”, she was almost screaming like a child.

“Wow, that’s really a good news, but how shall we arrange for accommodation there beta in three days? I will be busy you know right??”,asked her dad

“Dad, that’s not a problem. The company will be providing free accommodation if we opt and it’s for three month and I will manage to get a place in that time period.”, she said excitedly.

“Look who is talking. Till yesterday you was telling ,Ba-baa bring me this, Ba-baa take me there, Ba-baa buy me this, Ba-baa drop me there and now look my own daughter doing her work on her own.”, he said at her mockingly.

“See Maa…atleast try to learn something from him. He doesn’t seems to feel sad for my departure.” rithania chuckled at her mom.

” Ok ok baas everyone into dinning table right now”,Rithania’s mother said.

The next day rithania was busy in packing her clothes and her essentials. None in the house talked with her about what happen to them after her departure. Her mother was well confined to hide her sorrows. Rithania thrown a get together party to her friends that evening so that she can have fun time with them as she have to leave and stay away from them. At least this is what she have thought to herself. She must be visiting her hometown after 3 months.

Then came the day of her departure. Her train time is 10 AM.

“Bette sabh kuch lyeliya naah”, Rithanya’s mother was checking on her. The train is about to leave. Rithanya’s tears are about to well up when she saw her mother in tears. But the train had started to move fast.

There are so many thoughts running in Rithanya’s mind, new city new workplace, new friends. At the mean time the man who was sitting opposite to her was coughing. Suddenly she remained of the deal which she made with shesanth.

She had promised if she join the company she will be meeting him. But in the next second she told to herself that he doesn’t have any contact of her, so surely not gonna meet him. She smiled to herself and was looking out of the window with vague thoughts.
