Fevicol Jod

Sun was about to set....

Cool breeze,..... was at its best....


The sailor could not resist himself and ..... started humming a song....

 Tough to make out.. though seemed romantic....

 Reason was obvious.....

 Today his passengers are a newly wedded honeymoon couple...

 who wanted to savor every second of it...... Their Honeymoon....

 Perfect........

 Both of them were trying to click pictures... some times nature.... flowing river , sunset..and sometimes...

 of themselves...
 Looked like they wanted to let the river, the sun,the nature as a whole to know.. of their existence..


 Suddenly...the boy screamed with joy...as he clicked some where on the page he was viewing in his laptop...

 Honey.... I'v done it..I'v done it....

 What happened Shonuu..ki holo ki...???? Girl a bengali...was puzzled what made her husband scream....

 Hey..Shikha re.....U'r so lucky for me. so..oo.. oo. lucky... Boy hugged her tightly , The presence of the sailor didn't mean much to him..He was happy, Really happy..

 What happend Shonu?? By now she understood something good has happened..

 My Shikhu...I didn't tell u because I wanted it to be a surprise... Hey Gudia... U r going to America
 I got selected.

 Are... Where selected ... and when did u apply for any such job?? visibly shaken... and grappling with the news,she asked...

Ur hubby is a proud member of the No.1 Fortune 500 company Wallmart and they have offered me to join at the earliest.. he said in a single breath..

 Girl was unmoved..

What happened Shikha, R u not happy?? ...

 No M happy.... but...

 What BUT??? One could feel something was harsh... in that BUT......

 Wife.. who could sense this harshness....just kept mum..

 Nothing.... Can we talk about this when we reach our hotel,Shonu??

 What is to be talked about??What's the problem ?? U tell me now,I dont know anything... tell me now..... the ambiance was loosing its sheen... gradually

 Shonu.. We have come for us na... Don't u think we should enjoy this...this ride.. and can talk over ur job later on ... Please...Girl pleaded..

 NO!!! Now , tell me what's the problem....The Husband in him took over..



Girl too, felt for the first time that she is someone's wife and she's no more a girl-An individual..

 I don't want to go..she pleaded with putting some warmth in her eyes..The gesture apparently made it clear she was trying to put her case firmly laced with whatever love she has for her husband..

 Are u out of ur mind??? Out of more than hundred of my co-employees, Ur husband is the only one who got this call,and U fool is not able to understand the importance of this offer....-elled The authoritarian husband...

She stood up, walked to the corner of the boat and sat facing the river,opposite to her husband..Tears rolling down....The message was clear...She WONT GO!!!

The sailor has long back curbed his tune..


 Husband too sat ... After a lull of 15 minutes...He rose and said... Shikha!! It seems u r in love with urself and whatever love u tried to show is something u engineered to trap me.. I don't think I can walk with u anymore..Lets call it quits..U remain happy with ur loved ones,enjoy life in ur Maruti 800 that is too good for ur family of 4..-he paused n felt he is being sarcastic...



 I would like u to be happy all through ur life....find a partner (Girl just looked backwards...with disbelief) who can keep u happy

..Girl's face full of tears which was adding more to the river water... suddenly became red...Yes..... She stopped crying .. her grip on the wooden part of the boat became firmer...She..was .........firm...

 She too can't live with a person who decides fate  of something with flesh and blood--in rage..who can forget all the love,care,affection... everything.... so easily.. without hearing her point of view....


 Boat was still sailing.. Sun was yet to disappear.....Camera which was housing the NATURE .. was lying mid way between them...

Cool breeze which was harbinger of emotions,sesousness.....seemed helping the emotions to freeze..ice is what was being formed and Cool breeze seemed to enhance the icy feel...

No.....it didn't remain breeze... air was more than what one knows as breeze.. boat trembled...

 What happened Bhaiya???

 Asked the boy..

 M trying sir....The sailor was giving his everything to save the situation..

 MAA GO....(The sailor screamed in Bengali.... the bamboo with which he was rowing the boat was snatched by the river)

What happened ?

Babu saheb...I need to bring the bamboo back other wise ....... (he kept those dangerous words in his mouth)

and he jumped into the river before any body say anything...


The boat was loosing its way..

 Girl was still rock faced... seemed she is willing to embrace the mighty river.. She no more wants to live..

Suddenly the Boy fell down... and his head hit the hard wood of the boat.. Blood started oozing out...

 Girl was still unaware what was happening as she still was facing the river..

After a minute,when she looked backward.. she saw BLOOD....


 Shonu... Babu... Shonuu........ She could think nothing ..

 just ran ..but the boat didn't allow HER to reach HIM.. She too fell down with the same result...BLOOD


..
She rose again and some how crawling she reached her MAN...

 Husband was still conscious and could see his wife kissing his forehead umpteen times.. and yelling... something...

 No, the love wasn't lost...

She tore a piece from her newly bought Banarsi and tied to the wound...

 Husband too by that time was able to sit on his own.. and touched her forehead.. with love...

 and he could feel...



 Blood ... His whole palm was wet with Blood..and there SHIKHAA........she was unconscious....lying in his lap...

 Something wooden had hit her head too , badly..

 He was about to tear her sari...... But he stopped....

 He took out his T-shirt and tied it to her wife's head..



 15 minutes ago... the couple was epitome of indifference and......... And now they were trying to show their part of love... in t heir own way.....



 Yeah ,,,, Somebody has said love blends souls... everything is immaterial....

 Just then the sailor resurfaced with a grin on his face and yeah,, he got his weapon , the lost bamboo..

and he showed it to them..


 Everything was calm and in control in just 5 minutes.. yeah ... Everything even ambiance.. even the couple .. even the LOVE.....

Shikha re.... M sorry.......                  Naa Shonu..... M sorry.......

 Naa re... I got blind .. I was after money success,treasure.. and forgot my real treasure.....U..

 Naa Shonu.. Being ur wife... I should have thought of ur career.. ur happiness... I was selfish shonuu..



Naa Shikhaa... and the Husband embraced wife tightly..





  



 The boat touched the bank...

The couple gave the fare to to sailor..

and it was when they were about to leave..

The sailor yelled...

 Babu saheb,, did u miss anything..


 What???



By then Shikha... Shonu... .Aamar Cameraa..




 She climbed the boat.. The camera was still lying there..


 Hey.....she said to sailor... as she could peep deeper into the boat....there were too rowing bamboos....






  She was startled.. amazed... Y this sailor went after the bamboo when he was already.. having two ....

"Y????????" she asked him..

 Sailor just smiled and said.... U two were not looking good while quarreling... ...




 She was still in disbelief...came out... with the camera and shock..... Husband by then... came and hugged her and said "lets go..."


Sailor smiled... seeing both of them hugging each other ... said ...Bhalo lage... ee. aapnar prem... U must make it a Fevicol jod......

And all bursted into laughter..




 Wife understood everything....  and waved her hand to the sailor.... Thank you DADA........
