It was a blessed rainy day, 21st September. The day was so good and exciting for Dechen to celebrate the day with her friends at college. Early in the morning, she woke up, took bath to cleanse the sin which she had accumulated over the years, offered the fresh water to God and did her everyday prayers.
After that, she went through her Facebook to write blessed rainy day wishes to her loved ones. While she was writing the wishes on her Facebook wall, her messenger beeped with a message " hello, good morning". It's Karma, her primary school mate. She replied instantly "hello, good morning la". They exchanged few conversation by asking how are you doing, where have you been and what have you been doing. While they were chatting, Karma asked her "are you free engaged in any work today?". Dechen responded " I am not really engaged in any other important work but today is blessed rainy day so I have planned to celebrate the day with my friends at college". "If you are not engaged in other work, I thought of asking you to meet with me today" karma said. Dechen directly responded, "if you want to meet, then let us meet by evening. I will along with my friends and we will have our dinner in the restaurant". Karma said "It's ok. I will pick up from your college gate. So come till gate at 4:00pm".
Dechen went to the kitchen to prepare paneer thukpa and suja for her friends. While she was in the kitchen, her friends Zangmo called her at the top of her voice " oi, call shak la". She rushed to the room to receive the call. It was her elder sister calling from Paro to inform her that she is coming to meet her by evening. She told Dechen that she will reach her college by 4:30pm.
Dechen and her friends had their thukpa and suja. They took photos to keep their memories of blessed rainy day celebration. Ather they finished with their morning activities, they discussed to packed lunch and go out of college to celebrate the day. They agreed to each other and decide to go out for their lunch. Dechen told her friends to start preparing their lunch so that they can go early and come back early.
They finished preparing their lunch by 12:30pm and started their journey by 1:00pm. When they reached their destination, the time was about to 2:00pm. After reaching their, they took rest for 30 minutes and then they started to have lunch. While they have lunch, Dechen said "my elder sister is coming here to meet with me from Paro. She will here by 4:30pm". She didn't share that she agreed to Karma to go for a dinner at 4:00pm. So silently she dropped the message saying " I am very sorry to inform you that I won't be able to meet with you today. My sister is coming from Paro and she will be here by 4:30pm. So I need to be in campus while she comes here. Otherwise my sister will be mad with me. So let us plan to meet in some other days".
They went back to the college and while they reached college, the time was already 4:20pm. Her elder sister reached exactly at 4:45pm. Her sister came with one cartoon and bag. She handed over and said, "I in hurry. I will go directly from her. Take care and study well. I will call you later. If you are in need of money, I will transfer it in your account". Her sister went directly from the parking after handing over that cartoon and bag.
Her friend Choden called her "oi call shak la na" She said "Ebu giwa la ya" Choden said " new number la" New number? She hurriedly went to the room and picked up the phone and said "hello la" The other person was very serious and said "I am Karma. I was waiting near your college gate and you all are not coming. Are you going to come or not?". "Ya sorry karam. Actually I dropped you a message in your messenger. You didn't get my message?" Dechen asked nervously.
To be continued tomorrow.
Happy Reading
