Novel : Midnight Bell 🌹

Writer : Jotsna Jari   

A sound of a message arriving on the phone. Not just a sound, but a wave. She takes the phone out of her purse. The waves of sound before her eyes... Titas and the others have arrived in Delhi straight from Chennai. Titas wrote, "I've told my parents everything. They agree. After hearing about your father's illness, my parents told me to book air tickets. So, I booked the tickets and came straight to Delhi. We are at your house now. I will come to Delhi station tomorrow to pick you up."  

Now Tinni closes her eyes. She feels like she has achieved a great milestone in her life. She never imagined that life would flow in such a beautiful direction. She had never been in love before. If she has to lose someone she found at this stage of her life, there can be no greater pain. It's easy to forget college romances, but if you have to lose someone after understanding everything... that pain can never be forgotten.  

Suddenly, a jolt. She places a finger on her chin. Rama-di has told her to get married quickly. Then hearing this, Tinni naturally felt a little scared. Why !! That day, Rama-di had invited her for lunch. Of course, she loves Tinni & often cooks and feeds Tinni. She has one son who lives in a hostel. It's a small household with just the husband and wife. A single-story house. A beautifully arranged home on ten kathas of land in Khudiram Palli, Haldibari.  

In the afternoon, the two of them sat on the rooftop, admiring the captivating color of the roses. Rama-di pulled up a chair and sat down. Handing Tinni a rose, she said, "It has thorns too."  

Tinni was so surprised to hear this ! What could be causing her so much pain and sadness, even though she was a social worker and a happily married woman ?  

The maid served two cups of tea. While sipping her tea, she asked, "What are you thinking, Tinni ?"  

Tinni remained silent. That day, she couldn't say that she was thinking about Roma-di's words.  

Suddenly, the wind just still. The faint sunlight fell on Rama-di's face... or was it her eyes !! That strange voice said, "I'm not at all happy in my sex life. My husband can't give me pleasure. You're not married yet... you won't understand all this." Then she said irritably, "Oh his is quite small. But he's incredibly insatiable. He becomes like a mad dog when he sees a young girl. He has a tremendous sex drive too. But he can't give me pleasure. "   

Like an incomprehensible riddle, Tinni mumbled, "You got married out of love !!"  

Rama-di's harsh laughter rang out, "You love him too, don't you ? Have you ever seen Titas naked ? How much pleasure he can give you... have you ever thought about that ? Many girls don't think about these things before marriage. It's not even possible to think about these. We are social beings." A long sigh flew towards the sunset.  

A moment of silence. Then Rama-di's faint smile again, "The girl who served us tea a little while ago, her name is Dipali. He's not even sparing her. He's touched her breast so many times... Do you know !! She's just a little girl. My mother brought her here because she has no one else. I have her do a little bit of work and I also teach her to read and write. No, I can't keep Dipali anymore. When she sees him, she completely throws herself at him. We had disagreements about these issues last year as well. Yaaa... I no longer engage in arguments, nor do I let my heart feel heavy. Now I hate when he comes near me. Now I hearing again that he is having an affair with a married teacher at his school."
