That Cursed Evening

"How can I obliterate... those cursed seconds?

 That eve of... Karthik Purnima...,

 Why ....why did it happen?"

      These kinds of shadowy lines were emerging by seeing the tides of the sea from the cakehole of sea-faced "SANJANA"...

       From peepers... boundless tears were flowing, From the soul... thousands of questions were arising. Her alluring feet were kissed by the slight sea waves.

   

Sanjana, whom this sphere was calling "Sanju" also affectionately, was very prude & innocent, was extremely virtuous and free from all kinds of awful traits. Born at at Cuttack. Family means mom, dad & a younger brother "Rajesh". Whom she used to call "Raju" or "Babu" adoringly. As both of her parents' life was tumultuous due to the hectic schedules of their respective professional works, Raju's childhood was endued with Sanjana's motherly endearment. "Ranjuuu Diduuuu" in her babu's(younger brother Rajesh/Raju) honeyed voice was enough to make her ecstatic, crazy. For a while, she used to become full of the joys of spring by this call.

In a nutshell, 

 "Babu was the soul in her body".

    Seven years ago, Keeping the rigid insistence of Babu for hanging out at the beach, Sanju had taken him there on the afternoon of sacred kartik purnima. They reached & played a lot. From making enormous sand castles, leaving them unshielded to witness it wiping them out by the smooth waves up to collecting shells from the shore, was fun for both

 "I'll store these shells heedfully"

 was telling insanely babu. As he wished to eat ice cream, Sanju went to the nearest dairy parlor to purchase it.

         She was just paying, listened to a shout from shore,

     "Hey...

      Hey...

      Save him...save him...

      He is drowning....save him...

      Come hurriedly....he is drowning"

Those hustles sensed her about an ongoing hurricane, albeit she was a layman of the reason but still, she rushed immediately. As the sea was thundering due to the full moon day, no one was daring to go there for searching. She felt sorry for the drowned child. Then she started calling her younger sibling, Who was playing,

   "Babu...where are you, my boy?"

     Look...what I have brought for you,

   your favorite chocolate icecream,

     Where did you vanish?.... Babu...my sweetheart.... where are you?"

    

 She became panicky & demoralized suddenly, as she didn't get him even after her intense search. She then rushed to the crowd,

   "Have you seen a small little boy?

    He was just playing here?"

Sanju asked them weeping.

   

 "Ma'am ....this crowd emerged due to that horripilation drowning scene of a little boy, who was playing here a few moments back...He was playing & suddenly a higher tide came & wiped him out from the shore in the blink of an eye ...We all are thrilled till now as we have witnessed that deadliest scene"- They said to Sanju.

   "What,

   What're you saying,

   No...no one can take my baby...

     it's impossible... You're lying,

    Baaaaabbbbbuuuuuuu..." Suddenly she lamented

"My sweetheart...my life,

  Baby...Where did you vanish?

   

  Come here... please come here... Stop kidding

now..."

  Your didi is waiting for you ...come to my child...come"

She searched & searched reiterated but got nothing.

People too conducted a search operation but didn't get anything.

    She then became mad and disheartened. Everything was seeming blurred to her. She became senseless.

 Undoubtedly it has been seven years to this cursed day, but still, every moment of this day is vivid in front of her eyes now.

    

    Now the sea is there, the shore is there, even Sanju too ... except her sweetheart "RAJU".
