Soon I faced a sudden jerk. It was the first time I saw Rishi so furious.
"I told you not to touch my belongings." He took the box immediately from me.
"I told you I will clean my room. Then why are you here?"
"Actually I just finished cleaning my room and I wanted to help you.."
"No need. Please go out. I will take care of my own stuff."
"But..."
"Please leave!"
I wanted to ask him about Antara but he wasn't in state to ask. So I just let him be. But for sure his behaviour was so suspicious and so I became curious. How they know each other? What's their relation? I had many question in my mind at that time. But still I had no option than to swallow my curiosity.

I was sitting in the balcony with the mind full of thoughts. These thoughts made my blind blank and I was lost somewhere. And then after passing an hour I returned back as I heard a silent but manly voice. That had a sense of care and smelled guilty. His regret in sound interrupted my deep debate of mind.
"Have you had your dinner.",It was a Rishi. I don't even remember if he had this side too.
"I haven't.."
"So let's go out today. Even we don't have anything to cook."
"Umm..ok"
We went to a restaurant near by our apartment. It used to serve a great food. It always reminded me of my mother's hand made delicacies. We always had food there when we were tired of cooking at home.
"Take more rice. We need to finish it."
"Sure I will eat it.", Rishi always forced me to eat more like an elder brother. He always took good care of me. But this afternoon he wasn't in his mood. I thought everything was alright then, so I gathered guts to ask him about the women.
"Can I ask you one thing?"
"What is it? Go on.."
"Won't you burst out right?"
"Well, it depends on your question?"
"Ummm.."
"Ok I won't."
"Who was the girl in the photo earlier. She seemed closed to you.", It was too quick. My eagerness and curiosity was just reflected in my voice.
"Her name is Antara. She was my fiancè."
"What! she was your faincè? Then why did you broke up? What happened?"
"By chance do you know her? Earlier when you looked at the photo I noticed your expressions. It was clearly reflected on your face."
"What was reflected on my face?"
"The fondness. Were you longing for her? I am clever enough to notice your curiousity. Why... Why the hell are you interested in my women?"
"Look you promised me not to burst out. And yes I am curious as a friend. I don't have any romantic feelings for her. She was my classmate and a good friend too but she suddenly disappeared. So I was curious.I am sorry for misunderstanding"
"Well, it's my fault. I shouldn't have shouted at you. Just whenever her memory comes through I pass out and can't control myself. That's it. I am sorry...."
