love lost

Dibyo came down from his rooms to see that his father has left for his office as usual, and mother has left for some charitable function. He went out and drove away to his office, there was nothing unusual, it was his way of life since he came back from hostel ten years ago.

He had to hold an interview for his secretary that day, he was hoping that he could get the help of his mother, who has worked as an administrative officer before retiring five years ago. He went to office and started to conduct interview, he liked Supti the instant he saw her and after talking with her he finalized her appointment.

Within two months Supti became his left hand, she was of a very childish but sincere nature, her innocence and sincerity bowled Dibyo over. They became inseparable. Dibyo started to rely on her a lot. Then slowly the next step happened, he started to realize that he has fallen in love. Initially he tried to suppress it, but the more he was trying to suppress it, the more it was growing stronger.

After knowing Supti he knew one thing that she will never accept his family, Supti has lost both of her parents in young age and struggled hard to reach the position she has, and naturally she was of a very strong personality and had a strong sense of self respect. Whereas his parents were extremely conscious of their social status, he still remembered how he lost his best friend because of that, he invited him to his home for tea and his parents did not came out to meet him, sent a cup of tea in a cup meant for servants. He disappeared from Dibyo’s life within a month.

The constant struggle within himself made him mentally agitated, and that agitation took its toll on his health, he fell severely ill, he did not dared to inform Supti, he only told her that he is going out of station for a few months, and she will have to handle every thing. When his mother came to know about the reason of his suffering she talked with his father and he said he will look into it.

He asked Dibyo if he could take care of his office till he is back to health and Dibyo said yes, he informed Supti that his father will be looking after the organization for a few months. Supti welcomed him warmly but in the return received a cold nod.

She all of a sudden realized her true status in the company, which Dibyo’s gentle nature has never made her feel. Within fifteen days she bitterly realized the difference between father and son. Dibyo has never raised his voice in the years he has spent with Supti, whereas his father never spoke with her with due respect. His behaviour reeked of disrespect, slowly it started to get on her nerve and she decided to change her job.

Almost all of her colleagues were sad of the entire matter, because they wanted their marriage, but could not dare to say any thing because Dibyo paid hefty salary to his staffs, and speaking against his father will certainly cost their job. Hence when Dibyo came back after recovery they did not said a single word about the way Supti was treated.

Supti also did not opened her mouth because she respected Dibyo immensely and did not wanted to harass him an inch.
