Tani- Why did you call Dipti di?
Rina (her friend) - Because you can't go home alone with this fever and you are not allowing me to come with you
- Yes, because you shouldn't miss the class
- That's why I called Dipti di... Well, let's go and sit in the canteen. You will still have trouble in the AC. I also told Dipti di to come to the canteen.
--Okay, let's go.
Rina - Look, let's sit there. Our whole gang is there.
As soon as they reach there everyone asked Tani how she was feeling now. "Have you ate something? Have you taken medicine?" Etc.
She was talking to everyone.
Suddenly she saw Amu coming from. Once it seemed that she was mistaken for fever. As soon as he came forward she could understand that it was he in real.
- Amu Da?
--Dipti Di has a meeting, so she asked me to take you home.
Rina - Do you know him
--He is Amu da
- Oh!That's your Amu Da


Amu, came to the front of Tani and tried to cheek the fever with his hand on her forehead .
Before She could say anything, Amu took her bag put it on his own shoulder then he looked at Rina and said I am taking her home. Thank you so much to infrom Dipti di.
Tani was about to say something again when Amu didn't hear anything and grabbed her hand and pulled her away in front of everyone.
Everyone was surprised. She might have said something, but at that moment she was also a little surprised. She didn't listen to Amu's advice so he is angry that is clear to Tani.

Amu brought her on the road and made her stand in front of a taxi and told her to get up. She got into the car without saying anything. Amu didn't say a word all the way, didn't even look at her once. After a while the car stopped in front of an lane. Amu told her to get down. Tani only asked once "why we came here?" Amu took her hand in the same way again and took her inside.
Go a little there was a doctor's chambers inside a drug store.
Going inside, Amu told someone that we had a appointment.
The man checked Tanishtha's name and said yes there is the name after two people, pleaae, sit down. Tani understood that Amu had taken appoirment for her. She said in her mind that she don't need a doctor but she don't have the courage to say anything. After a while they were called. The doctor looked at everything and said, "Okay, the medicines I told you on the phone yesterday will be the same. And there is nothing to worry."
- She has fever even now so I thought I should show you once.
- Oh no, no, and if she takes medicine for two days, I think she will be fine. If it remain same we will do a blood test. But please take care about your food. Your weight is not enough according to hight and health.

Amu stared at Tani with big eyes.
Doctor-- I'm not prescribing any medicine for this. It will be fine if she eat right. Take care of your self ok beta!( At Tani )
He - I eat enough. I don't have appetite because of fever, otherwise ...
Amu - Yes, yes, otherwise she eat through out the day. Amu rolled his eyes with sarcastic words.
Tani looked at Amu once, his eyes were still angry.

Amu - Well doctor. Thank you.
Then Amu came out with her. When she came out on the road, she called Amu from behind.
- Are you still angry?
Amu started walking without any answer.
--Amu da, sorry ...
Tani stood up to speak. Amu looked back and saw that there was no cover or sheet on her body. She was standing with locked hand. It is understood that she feels very cold.
Amu came to Tani, took off his jacket, wrapped her and took her in front of the car again without saying anything.
Get in the car. She sat down without saying anything. Amu sat down in the driver's side seat. Tani said something twice but Amu did not answer. He remain silent through out journey. After half an hour they reached home. Dipti still did not return from the office. Leaving her in the room, Amu said "go and get fresh. I am leaving the fruit to eat, then take medicine and rest. I'm leaving. Dipti Di will return shortly." He was about to leave the room ...
--Where are you going?
- That not your concern?
- Will you leave me with a fever?
Reaching out, Amu said ...
- Really! Do you have fever? I don't know.
- Are you still angry?
- No, why should I be angry? Who are you. I am nobody for you. I will be angry with you! Why?
- Believe me, I thought I would not go. But I saw that there was no fever, and the class was very important. There was also practical ...
- Did I ask anything?
--Then ask. Ask. Talk, fight, say whatever you want, I won't say anything, just don't do it.
Amu looked back and saw Tani blinking her eyes.
Amu came very close to Tanir and said ..
- I'm a bad person right! Always admonish you
Tani lowered her eyes and moving her head as no.
--Everyone says I always admonish you. And you! Are you a very good girl? No one can see your faults. I told you so many times, but you still went to college. There is no value of my words.
- Why are you saying this?
- Yes, that's right. Wait a few days, the final exam is in few days later. Campus is still going on. If I get a job, then I will leave with a posting somewhere far away. Far away. I will not come to you.
--Amu Da ....
--What amu da? I will not come even if you call thousand of times. I will never see you again.

Listening these she cried. Unable to say anything, pressed her hands to her face she began to cry.

This time Amu became a little soft. When he saw her crying, he could not stay like that. Today she has a feve and she is crying very much.
- Well, don't cry.
She is crying the same way.
Amu came and grabbed her hands and tried to remove them from her face. It didn't work. Then, seeing no way out, he put his hands on his shoulders and put her on the sofa
- All right. I won't go anywhere, stop crying.
- She's crying.
Putting his hand on his head, Amu said in the distance,
- Well sorry I was wrong. I'm not going anywhere. Look, I'm with you.
She said, with tear "Why did you say that?"
- Ok. I won't say anymore. Look, I'm holding my ear. Look at me. If you cry like this, it will make your health worse.
- So why did You ...
Tani started coughing while crying. Amu tried to drink her water. But she refused to take it. Amu hugged her without thinking anything and tried to normalise her.
--Shut up, no more. Relax. stop crying. Look, I'm with you, I haven't gone anywhere ... Please don't cry.
Amu is holding her. Slowly she calmed down a bit. Amu was holding her like that for a while, suddenly the sound of bell came.
Suddenly she got up from Amu's chest and looked down in shame. Amu laughed and said with put her hair behind the ears " I am opening the door, you go and get fresh.
Then Amu was with her for some time that day even after Dipti came. He returned home after dinner. After that day Tani talked to Amu on the phone many times but did not meet. But she has obayed everything which Amu said.

Seven days later ....

It was Dipti's birthday. There was few guest. Dipti's future groom, some friends in the office and two or three friends from Tani's College and Amu were invited. Tani looked very beautiful that day, wearing a very beautiful pink skirt with a white top. She had light lipstick with open hair and long earrings. She looked very sweet. Amu wanted to talk to her, wanted to be close to her but whenever Amu was going near her, she was moving away with some excuse. Sometimes to friends, sometimes to the kitchen, sometimes to Dipti's guests. Never once in the whole evening Despite Dipti repeatedly telling her, she did not go herself even to give the cake to Amu.
The cake was cut, everyone had a good time together, then Tani's friends left a little later, one by one everyone left. It was about ten o'clock at night. Only Dipti's future husban Srimanta and Amu was there. Amu was waiting for Srimanta to go out together. Amu was in the balcony to give space to Dipti and Srimanta. Tani came up to the kitchen a little later for the same reason. Amu stood alone on the balcony, Tani called from behind
--Amu Da ...
Amu looked around and saw her standing with a mug of coffee in her hand. In the light air, the hair was coming on the face again and again. A smoth smile was on her lips. She looks so beautiful.
Tani- your coffee.
Amur was freezed that time but came in reality by her words ..
Amu - Hmm, oh yes, thanks. Really wanted to have coffee this time.
She offered the cup of coffee and walked away. Amu catch her hand from behind.
