The betrayal

Bapun was born of a humble origin having a tremendous brain. He radiated brilliantly in elementary grade .His father Narin expected from him unrelated things and gawed at him. He engaged for him competent tutors for him to serve his purpose .

       Bapun agitated pathetically for it . The vast field stretched its viridity which looked through the window,where in played the boys gaily. He passionately yearned to run away from his fixed routine of life. This ambivalence dispirited him from his studies. Soon after his tutor hash-hashed him and his diligent father was else where, he came out of the closet and ran breathlessly to the open vast lush green field. He cheered jubilantly, shouted loudly, rolled , jumped, laughed whole heartedly and played with his juniors and seniors.

   Late in the evening, he returned home. He was face to face with his whack-eyed father and money hankering tutor. He meekly surrendered to them , begged pardon for his late arrival . Thereupon , everyone heard only the thrashing noise. He beat him harshly until the scars turned red. Then he knelt down. All others stood like mute spectators . Not a single person raised their voice against his corporal punishment and beastly behaviour.

   The merciless beatings of his father had no impact on him. In regular intervals he was cruelly beaten . Narin' s ways of thinking was inappropriate. Beating a child and compelling him to read relentlessly and deliberately to improve the standard was an age old practice .

 The reverse happened. Bapun was heedless to it. In due course , he jumped class after class just with average score . Thusly, his scholastic brain ruined . After his secondary education he was sick of reading BB books under pressure but tried impassively till he passed out the intermediate in science and pursued his bachelor's degree in science .

   .Frustration crumbled him. Steered by material expectations most of the higher-ranked fathers and guardians forced hopelessly to put pressure on the little champs to reach their sky-high dreams . Consequently, it U-turned . The average ones desisted their higher education and sought for jobs anywhere in any payment. Alike others, with a view to avert disagreement with his father , Bapun , left his home with small packings to try his luck in different small enterprises and succeeded in finding a job in a finance company. He was satisfied with what ever remittance was decided by the company. He took a deep breath just as he got rid of his unsupportable father.

    But the remittance was far fewer to his work load . With the payment he received , he had to maintain his motor bike , purchased daily essentials and vice-versa . To wards the last part of the month he remained pocket less and borrowed un payable amount . Nevertheless, he surrendered to hostilities and restored new zeal to work hard .

   During his six-month training time he was in telephone contact with his seniors in his localities who had fled to to New Delhi and other metropolis and struggling to survive . Chittaranjan , a far-flung brother of his suggested him to dash to New Delhi where he can get better prospects Retrospectively, he caught the New Delhi bound train and got down to the particular terminus, Where Chitta Bhai welcomed him and laid hold of him to the bitsy . Bapun had to tune with him. It was another kind of struggle . Chitta Bhai provided him with the addresses of different companies and banks to work as purveyor . Late in the evening the two met together . Bapun delineated him ,how tiredly he tried for a job in different trade companies but it was abortive . Chitta Bhai took notice of him and remarked ," Nothing new I heard from you, It is the go of life for all new comers . Walk until the foot wears get torn off. After a night of coal-black, rises the sanguine sun ." 

  Bapun 's small savings had run out. He starved , but didn't borrow from Chitta Bhai.Without asking he gave him a paltry sum. Bapun received the sum reluctantly . He moved from one enterprise to other under the hard sun in search of a job. Apparently, he succeeded in finding out a post in a recently opened engineering college sponsored by an M. P. He distributed leaflets, and stuck posters, to collect students. It was for his toilful labour , students got admitted in abundance. Thus he drew the attention of the authorities. They inspired him to accomplish his engineering degree in mechanical stream . He obliged them for supporting him to accomplish his dream . He saluted God to bless him for getting such opportunity . He materialized it. He obtained first class in the exam . In the intervening period, he consulted a senior friend of his who was in job for a plush amount in U.A.E. to endeavour for him . Exclusively , he opted for a post based on his qualification . The prepostor suggested ," Buy a ticket in any flight which flies to Dubai .and depict it in your cellphone to reach my residence . 

  Bapun fled to Dubai . His friend welcomed him at his residence. He first test by locating him in his little-bipy . He undertook interviews and got a luxurious scale job .

   One night after elven, he contacted the land phone number of his home to which his father received as his mother catnaps after nine eventide . He anxiously said "Hallo, who are you calling ?"

   He so overwhelmed in exaltation and said,"My darling, we are moribund here for your abscond. Won't you excuse me for my wrongdoing? "

   Towards the last part of his talk he couldn't speak..

   Bapun said " well done my father . It's due to your I'll- treatment I could establish myself in Dubai.stop weeping and listen to me. Complete the permanent dwelling and make it a duplex. I transfer to your account twenty lakhs. If more needed ask the amount . Call me late at night, I mean, at eleven and on ward ."

   It was a feasting day for his family and friends. The news of his son' confinement was spread like wild fire. He sped up the work of construction which had been lingered for lack of funds. It was accelerated. Closer to the end, Bapun transferred another ten lakhs.

   The duplex stood proudly to allure the appellant people of his ward who despised his dilapidated tile house and huggled  the top price of the land  

  When they came forward to Narang, they passed by him apprehensively . Thence forth, he arrayed position among the top-ranking people. 

Once a night after eleven he called up Bapun to talk with him regarding his marriage. 

  He said, " suppose I agreed, can you afford a bride who is fluent both in Hindi and English ? Second thing, will mama cope with her who believes in the archaic ? If a maid fulfills all the terms and conditions , set by me regardless of , caste, clan or look ,  overture to it and call me up ." 

  Here forward, Narang artistically contemplated Bapun's conditions and vigorously visited the places inside and out side the state . He breathed freely when he spotted such a maid in Kharagpur. 

   The very night he called up to Bapun and forwarded the cell telephone of Chitra , his missus .

After an argy-bargy , with Chitra Bapun approved the proposal and gave a green signal to it . 

  He said to his father to push forward with the formalities. 

      A week before his noptinal he arrived home . He distributed cards and requested his friends and relatives to make his marriage a grand success.

   It was a special kind of wedding the town had ever seen . He spent lavishly from procession to banquet .

   He stayed a fortnight and prepared his luggage to take off to Dubai. Unhesitatingly, his beloved wife adieued him with lachrymation. 

    After his departure , Kalyani exhibited her true colours . Her mawkishness, made Chitra react clemently. She compelled her to brawn till she snored . away The more she carried out her directions the more she demanded .

   As time passed, Chitra turned more reactionary. One night after eleven she called up to Bapun. When he received the cell telephone he heard his wife bemoaning. 

   He inquired of her" Are you missing me or.......?"

  In mournful voice she said," I can't stay here a minute. Arrive here as soon as possible, I will fly with you, otherwise, I will kill myself ."

   Bapun reacted sensitivity and said," I understand everything . It is my mother who is the bone of contention , Isn't she ? Make ready your packings ,I try to book a flight ticket."

   Following the nights he could not sleep peacefully . He asked him self several times ,"Is it the right to bring Chitra with him?" 

   But to his surprise he confirmed a ticket to Bhubaneswar. With his small packing he reached the airport and took off.

   Narang was astounded when he learnt, Bapun is flapping with Chitra. He tried his best to bridge up the difference between Kalyani and Chitra but it was futile. 

    Life in Dubai was quite mechanical. Bapun left for his work early at seven and returned late night. Chitra was companionless. She looked through the window and longed for her home in Kharagpur. Drops of tears poured, when she realised how sweet were the days before her marriage! She waited and waited for Bapun and catnapped on the ground. 

   Retracing the residence, Bapun buzzed and waited outside but Chitra didn't respond. At last , he blurted. Chitra tottered to the door and opened. She did not conversed with him and pointed her finger to the the light meal ,a morsel of which she didn't consume . Bapun urged her to dine with her but she was heedless to it . She slept on the ground. It was a gesture of contrariness to her husband. 

   He knew , Chitra was not accustomed to such kind of life. Nevertheless, he could do anything to gratify her desires. On non working days they joyrode . They went for shopping. Traveled artesz.Despite all these attempts to make her happy, She laughed disinterestedly. Trivials made Bapun irresistible.

  To rub salt on the wound, Chitra was expectant. She wanted to abort it. Nonetheless, Bapun agreed to it. Misinterpretation, between the pair snagged.

   In the course of time , Chitra spawn a baby son. When Bapun overwhelmed with gleelfulness and arranged party in sky scrapers Chitra was consulting the advocates for divorce putting against him indictin and allegations for pummeling her , scandalising her , compelling her moreover dawry , willy-nilly sex ,so on and so forth. 

   He padded everything to his father. He persuaded her to withdraw the case for divorce. But she was adamant. The decision of the judiciary court went in favor of Chitra. 

   She carried away all her belongings her father remunerated at the time of marrige along with the baby son and took off to Kolkata. Next to Kharagpur, with her father in a carrier she moved, putting an end to the ten -year bonding .

   Bapun neither carried on with his job in Dubai nor returned home. He is still awaiting for Chitra as well as his little son in a little-bipy in the remotest corner in Bhubaneswar and returned to the biptsy at the dead of the night after he vividly searched all flights landed in the Biju Patnaik air port.

   The betrayal's eyes never enfeebled since Chitra and Bubun abandoned him.
