Relinquish (Story Of Sixteen)

It was a long day for Ram. He reached office and then he reached his house at the evening. He got refreshed and came back to the dining table to have dinner. Seetha also joined him. Ram was eating without uttering a single world. This seemed unusual for Seetha. So she broke the silence by asking "What happened to you Ram? Why are you looking sad?"

Ram:Nothing... Just feeling tired.

Seetha:Oh.Then please eat a lot today.

She said that while putting extra food on his plate.

Ram protested by saying "No... No... "

But Seetha compelled by saying "Come on,you are tired, you have to eat a lot and take some rest. Then only this tiredness will go."

Ram smiled at her.

Seetha:Why are you smiling at me?Believe me, I am saying the truth. Whenever I felt tired my mom used to say this.

Ram with a low voice:What else your mom will say?

Seetha:She used to say a lot of things like don't do this, don't do that. At that time, I got irritated but now I am missing it.

Ram: I miss that too.

Seetha realized that he was feeling sad on the thought of family as he don't have one. So she decided to console him. She held his hand in hers and said "Don't be sad. You will soon get a wife who will take care of you like your mothers do."

Ram felt happy hearing that and smiled at her. She then placed some more extra food on his plate saying "See, you are so tired that you can't even say thank you. So eat a lot."

Ram laughed at her childish behavior and again protested by saying "Thank you madam...I don't want this much...no...no"

They laughed and had dinner happily.

At morning in the Balu's office, everyone was busy regarding Mr.Johnathan's visit. Ram was also busy. That's when Ram got a call from Nakul.

Nakul:Bro, it's not fair.

Ram:What is not fair?

Nakul:So you forgot the promise.

Ram:Nakul, which promise you are talking about?

Balu saw Ram and went near him.When he heard the word Nakul, he grabbed Ram's phone.

Balu:What do you want now?We are busy. Call later.

Nakul:You were always busy and now you are torturing Ram by giving lot of works to him and you are also making him busy. I need to talk to him about an important thing. Just give it to him.

Balu:I know what that important thing will be.

Balu mimiced like Nakul which looked funny as he said "It will be like bro, I found a new girlfriend and she is looking hot, am I right?"

Nakul got irritated and said "Nothing like that. Just go and do your work. Otherwise you won't get money and how will you feed your fatty stomach?"

Balu: You...

Ram bought back the cell phone form him and said "Enough fighting. Just go Balu. I will be back soon after talking to him."

Balu left after saying "When did you stop supporting him? Anyway come quickly."

Ram:Ok Nakul. He just went away. Tell me quickly what are you talking about?

Nakul: That fatty idiot just spoiled my party mood.

Ram:Which party?

Nakul:Bro, it's your party. You told us that you are going to give party for getting a job.

Ram:Yeah...I totally forgot about it.

Nakul got angry as he asked "How can you?"

Ram immediately consoled him by saying "Okay, chill. There is an important guest here and we are busy regarding that. After everything went smoothly, I will start preparing for the party, okay?

Nakul:Okay. Please don't forget again.

Ram:Okay then I will call you later.

With that he hung up the call and started doing his work. Mr. Johnathan arrived within few minutes. Finally, they had meeting with him. Everything went nice and they also agreed to have collaboration in the upcoming project.

At the other side, At maseo College of arts and science, Seetha was attending her classes and soon they had a break time. At break, Seetha got a call from Tarok.

Tarok:Hey, Are you free?

Seetha:Yeah, why? What happened?

Tarok: Actually... I want to ask something.

One of Seetha's friend who was standing near her, heard Tarok's voice and called other friends of their group. Now they all are standing near her and eagerly waiting to tease her.

One of her friend already started teasing her as she said: Come on, stop blushing and answer him.

Seetha: I am not blushing.

Tarok: What?

Seetha: Huh? Nothing... Just...Just some mosquitoes.

Another friend: Oh, in your love story, we became mosquitoes.

Some other friend: What will mosquitoes do girls?

Other friend:It will disturb humans and we should disturb her.

Seetha asked them to stop teasing her in a sign language and answered Tarok: Leave that thing. What do you want to ask?

Tarok:There is a basketball match this weekend and I need you to come to that match.

One of her friend:Say yes, who knows it may turn into your first date with him.

Seetha: I am really sorry. I don't know anything about basketball. It would be boring if you watch the match with me.

Tarok laughed a little bit and said: No, I am not going to watch the match. I am going to play there.

Seetha embarrassingly said: Oh really! Best of luck then.

Tarok:Thank you but...I feel like my luck depends on you. If you come, I will definitely win the match.

Seetha's friends corously said:Ohhhhh.

Seetha again asked them to be silent in a sign language and asked Tarok: What if you lose the game?

Tarok: Then at least I will be happy that you came.

Seetha's friend again corously teased her:Ohhhhhh.

Tarok: Will you come?

Everyone started compelling her to say yes. Seetha remained silent as she don't know what to say. But she was also thinking deeply before answering.
