CHAPTER-10
Rajesh wrote a letter in reply to Ruma
that she should concentrate on her study to make her career bright.
Ruma received the letter and ashamed of
not concentrating on her study instead writing such a long emotional letter to
disturb him in his study of law.
A month spent studying seriously by Ruma
but one cloudy evening she felt loneliness and started writing another letter
to her beloved as,
My Everything
As you asked me to concentrate
on study, I did it but it is rainy day
and moving black clouds in the sky make me sad and so I am writing you this
letter.
Now the greatest fact which is related
to me at present is that I am in love with you, the most refresing thing is
that whenever I tried to resist your love and also my love for you and whenever
I tried to go away from you, the result was just the opposite what I wanted,
you came all the more closer to me.
I was wrong before, when I said to you
once that I can never love any person after my bye-gone love, my own thinking
proved to be wrong. I am in love with you.
Your own
Ruma
The letter was posted to Rajesh and both
write letters regularly. Time passes but gradually.
And the three long years ended and
Rajesh reached where the frustrated lot often reached. After all the legal
profession is very often the last refuge of the frustrated.
Ruma in a deep sadness concentrated more
and more on her study of civil services examinations and at last she got
through the civil services examinations and became a tough bureaucrat living in
her own Ivory Tower.
In her loneliness Ruma often thought of
Tagore's famous poem, which goes like this,
“ The lonely have no fear
Fear reigns only amidst the crowd
The lonely have no shame
Shame reigns only amindst the many
Lonely is the creator ”
