a middle age beautiful lady was shopping at a big mall. her name was Maya Banerjee. as she was about to leave, someone with a deep and gentle voice called her from behind. "excuse me, is this your mobile phone?" she turned and saw that he was a good looking middle aged gentleman, holding a mobile phone in his hand.she checked her bag for and saw that her phone was not there.immediately she realised that her phone was missing. she also noticed that the phone in his hand belonged to her. "sorry" she said, and smiled at him. she took the phone from him.slowly and steadily they began talking and she discovered that his name is Sujoy Dutta and that he is the proprietor of a company, he has his own enterprise and is single. He lives with his parents and they are part of a large joint family.
Maya herself is a fun loving lady. she has two daughters, both of whom are now married. her husband has long retired from work. so she has little to worry about at home, but she feels lonely at times. so she tries to keep herself busy with different tasks.after meeting this gentleman at the shopping mall, she was quite thrilled. Sujoy gave his visitor`s card to her and said "if you happen to lose you phone again or leave it somewhere, then please give me a call; i will hunt it for you!" he said and laughed out loud. "then i would like to lose phone everyday", smiled Maya.
After a long time, Maya felt like calling Sujoy, and dialed his number after checking with his visitors card,"hello" she said. "Yes Maya, how are you" replied Sujoy immediately after picking up the phone. As if he was waiting for her to call.It felt like they had come to know each other deeply,without really interacting all this while. They addressed each other by their first name and felt nice after the initial conversation. " i am going shopping today" said Maya, " will you join me?", sujoy asked " what time?", maya replied "at 6pm." sujoy added with a smile, " i will surely come".
Maya dressed for the evening and drove down to the shopping mall. Her husband knew she loved shopping and used to visit her friends regularly, so he did not ask her where she was going. Sujoy arrived at sharp 6pm at the shopping mall. He saw Maya and smiled walked upto her. "can we go for coffee?" he asked, Maya smiled and said "sure".they went to a cafe and talked for a long time. they talked about their likes and dislikes, their hobbies etc. And in this way, began their love story.
Ever since they talked on phone and met for coffee. they loved to talk with each other and had a lovely time chatting for hours. when they do not meet, they spend time thinking about each other. And for the next few weeks, their love kept growing.
One day Sujoy suddenly called Maya and said in a calm voice, " you know, Maya, i dont think we should go on like this.Because i dont want you to have any problems beacause of me. You are a married woman with a family.Its best you stay like that and try to forget me, because i cannot give you anything. i should not take anything from you also." Maya became silent for a while and finally said " but have i asked for anything more than this from you? i have earned you love and that is enough for me. there is nothing more i want".
They did not call each other for a long time after that.Maya was hurt.But being an Indian woman, she had learnt to accept the pain. Suddenly one day Sujoy sent a sms to her saying that he had conducted a pujo at a Shiv mandir for Maya and her family, praying for their welfare. After that if Maya went for vacation anyone, she used to inform him by sms. they were in touch like this but never expressed their deep feelings. sometimes Sujoy sent a sms asking "how are you" and she replied " i am well", at other times she sent him msgs about her family and relatives. once her relative was ill and she told him about it. he said "pray to God, keep well", but he never disclosed his feeling of love to her.
In this way, their love story took a different road. this was the road of selfless love. Such love shows that they have not forgotten each other and never will forget each other. because love is forever. such love is still going on.there is no end to this, where will it turn about, what will be the conclusion of this? so even i cannot say where it will go next. but i promise, if i ever find out what happened to their love story, i will surely return to tell you. till then please excuse me,
this story is to be continued...
