HIS-STORY

Graduation exams over! Raman shouted. So what next? He asked me. After a pause, Kumar replied let’s do some part-time job. The idea was good. Kumar, always wanted to earn his own money, rather than depending on his parents. He was from a middle class family and was good at studies. He took active interest in sports, particularly cricket and football. The city of Joy, Kolkata provided the perfect platform to showcase his skills. He looked smart and was a big hit with the opposite sex, but he was single. May be, he was waiting for the right girl to meet.  He and his friend Raman got a part time job in a petrol bunk selling Pepsi during the summer vacations. It was a contract job for two months and they would be paid Rs.3000 per month. This was big money for both of them and they we given the date and time to join. Kumar was particularly happy with the extra income. He used to give English and mathematics tuitions and make around Rs.1000 per month.  

He reported to the Dalhousie area in charge at sharp 9 am. Kumar was always punctual and this was because of his parents’ upbringings.  He was a firm believer in God and made sure that every week he visited the Kali temple in Kalighat, which was close to his home. Before joining this part-time job, he went and offered prayer to the Goddess. Kumar was very close to his mother and he had planned to gift a sari to his mom, once he gets his first salary. With lots of dreams and plans, he arrived on time. He had to cross the high traffic Dalhousie road to enter the petrol bunk. Suddenly his eyes fell on a girl, who was wearing a bright yellow and red colored Salwar suit. Kumar could not take off his eyes from her. He crossed the road, keeping an eye on the girl and entered the petrol bunk. He shook his hands with the manager and the manager introduced him to the girl. Kumar shook hands and she introduced herself as Anuradha. Kumar could not take his eyes off her and he knew it had happened to him. Yes, He was in love and it was love at first sight. The manager called both Kumar and Anuradha and explained the job to them. They had to wear the company T-shirt and speak to customers who enter the petrol bunk and given them a sample to drink and take their name and other details. The day started well for Kumar and Anuradha and for Kumar the day ended faster. It was 6.30 pm and time to say goodbye to Anu, whom he loves so much. Anu was a Marwari and kumar a South Indian. Will this love story take off?
