"Nirlipta keeps her word"
In that evening, Nirlipta sat before me with a curious look.
I asked her, “ will you say something”?
She replied like a traditional Bengali housewife
-you have always been so busy with the work.
I got only the weekend, but you are depressed always.
Don’t you think once about your family?
I said, too much.
-she asked, “who do you think?
I said, our child, milkman, gardener, doggy & cat also.
I am always thinking about them.
She smiled furiously.
I saw that the light of morning sunshine began to glittering in the grass.
She said, so you think about our dog & cat also.
Then she started laughing.
As if the stormy sea fell on the shore!
That wave floats on two sides?
I asked myself.
Then, I dragged her to me, you know what ?
She said with frightened eyes, what?
I said, the constant truth, which is as bright as sun that word.
_She said, can’t you tell anything without pretending?
Then suddenly, she hugged me tight & kissed on my forehead.
All the moment I just lost & fell like gravity.
I was falling & falling, there was no pause.
Suddenly her call came back me tp reality.
I asked he,” will you love me the whole life?
She replied- I’ll love you as red as Royal Poinciana.
After a long time, one good afternoon when I remembered this, I stood in front of her epitaph
& felt in her grave. My eyes got wet!
Then I raised my eyes towards the flame tree.
I realized, “she keeps her words”
