No.. no.. I can't let Sambit spend another evening with her.. I simply can't.. by hook..or by crook.. I have to be with her.. have to be..!!!

Damn my shift..!! Fuck..!! And again Sambit took her out.. wow.!!!.For that Sri took a leave too.. just wow..! Like really?? Sri takes leaves to hangout with Sambit.. and she can't spare even a few minutes for me other than office stuffs..!!! okay.. I did ignore her directly over the years... but now.. I want to be with her.. I do really want to know what exactly happened to her, that led to this disaster...!! but she behaves like she never knew me before..!! Shit..!!! How do I win her trust..?? No.. no.. please don't think that I am having some romantic interests in her.. its just that.. her changed attitude, her prosthesis..!! Sri has always been a cry baby... and now she is kicking my ass off her with her attitude..!!! That's what is killing me..!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back to my camp, I found Sambit sleeping in his jeans. Too tired to change?? Hectic evening with Sri.?? What were they doing? Fucking no..!! Sri cant go for such craps..!! never..!! Not even Sambit..!! then what??

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"ya ya.. coming.." I yelled, as the door knocked for the fifth time..who's here..at this hour... its nearly 4 a.m..!!

"Sri...." my eyes popped out... what is she at this hour??? Her dishevelled state was enough for me forget my issues with her attitude..!! "come in..." I held her forearm and made her sit on my bed.. "Sambit.. please wake him up.." her shaky voice came... I woke him up.. somehow I felt bad. She wanted Sambit.. and not me... but I decided to remain there and help her if she needed.. after she was in problem.. and its my moral duty to help her..!!

"ma.." was only what she could utter before crashing into Sambit's embrace..!! Surprisingly, I didn't like it..!! next moment, we found ourselves in his car... racing against the bypass... 'Woodlands Multispecialty Hospital '.. the signboard read.. and I get the second shock of the day... woodlands is one of the most renounced hospitals of Kolkata..!! but what are we doing here?? Is Sri's ma admitted here?? But why?? She didn't say anything about auntie these days.. I mean from the very day she joined the office she never spoke a word about auntie or uncle or anyone from her family..!!! I just hope it isn't anything serious. But looking at Sri's face... her cries.. even Sambit's coldness.. I was not at all getting any positive vibe..!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"doctor uncle..." Sri leapt onto a middle aged doctor's arms.. he hugged her back with a grave face.. I gulped... "Dr. Mitra.." Sambit addressed another doctor, nearer to our age. The doc came... and... "I am sorry Ms. Sen.. she left us. A few minutes back."
