Ramesh has to follow a very strict schedule everyday. Being a private tutor isn't an easy job. When people pay you over and above their normal education routine, it comes with more responsibility and discipline. Handling kids is also a work of great patience. They either are too naughty or too dumb. So, everyday becomes a new test for him.
It all started 5 years back, when after graduating, Ramesh, instead of opting for campus placements, decided to start a private teaching organisation of his own. His entire focus was on teaching kids, not because of business, but because of the fact that he liked being with kids and teaching them. Ten slowly his one room class turned in to an organisation with four branches across Kolkata, with the name "Mukherjee Classes", and Ramesh became a familiar name in the world of kid's education.
Ramesh Mukherjee, now the Founder of "Mukherjee Classes" and being one of the most prominent teachers in Kolkata, rarely finds time for else activities. His everyday schedule is packed up. After getting up in the morning, he gets freshened up and reaches office by 9 AM. The teaching batches start slowly at 9:30 and the sales team arrive at 10 AM. He has to give them advice and take information from them. He also performs quarterly reviews, after every two weeks, to boost up the business and solve temporary hitches, if any. The head office is in Ballygaunge, where he generally sits. The other offices are at Hindmotor and Uttarpara, where he visits once or twice, every week. Life was going on a fast pace, when suddenly, things take a sudden halt.
Today is 15th August, 2015. Ramesh is sitting in his cabin. His staff is on holiday today, but he felt like to going to office, as everyday. Being in office alone, makes him remember his initial days, every time. The journey had been really memorable. Ramesh is lost in thoughts, when he hears the door bell ring.
On opening the door, he sees a cute little girl, who asks him,"Uncle, classes have started already?". "The girl is too cute. I wonder how much her mother would be?" - Ramesh smilingly says to himself, and bends down towards the girl.
"Today is a holiday, sweetheart. You can come tomorrow, for the admission." - He says.
"May we please come in?. We are in some trouble."- Ramesh hears a lovely voice speaking.
He looks up. A young lady, seemingly in her 30's, dressed in a whitish blue top, blue jeans, with her face covered, is looking across the road, continuously at successive intervals. It appears like she is searching for someone on the road.
"Come in." - Ramesh says, and closes the door, once they get in.
Sensing something uncomfortably wrong, Ramesh asks the lady,"Is everything okay?"
The lady uncovers her face. Ramesh looks at her. Looking at her, makes him stand still. She is beautiful. Her grey hair, too fair skin tone, well toned figure, black eyes and burning red lips, arouses him from within. She unknowingly, casts a spell on him, the effects of which, cannot be diminished.
With great efforts, Ramesh speaks up again,"Is everything okay?"
The lady replies,"Actually no. My little girl and I, were being followed. Somehow, avoiding him, we reached here. He knows we might be here, and we will be facing real trouble, when we get back home."
"He, who?" - Ramesh asks.
"The House owner's son. He follows us, wherever we go. He always has his dirty eyes laid on me or my daughter. Oh I am extremely sorry. I shouldn't be saying you all this." - The lady's face turns red with shame.
"It's all right. Please sit down. You would have some water? " - Ramesh asks.
The lady nods and Ramesh goes in the canteen to bring water. "Something is wrong. They are either in deep trouble, or faking it." - He says to himself, and comes out with two glasses of water.
Once after, drinking water, the lady calms down, a bit. She sits on the guest sofa, and hugs her daughter. She starts crying.
Her daughter gets confused. Ramesh decides to console her, in spite of initial hick up. He concludes that even if the girl is faking, he needs to find out the truth.
"Calm down. Nothing will happen to you here. You can trust me. Now tell me, why is the land lord's son following. Tell me everything in details, from start to end." - Ramesh says.
The lady, after a brief pause of hesitation starts:
"Three years ago, me and my husband came here to live together. Our families were against our marriage, and he didn't have the power to back us. So, we decided to live separately. It's difficult to find a home here and besides, the time was also short. So, without further enquiries, we decided to move into the first option available. Besides, the owner seemed to be a nice and decent old man. So, we decided to stay. We were quite happy. Then one day, Duhita came into our life. We were even more happy. She gave us more reasons to cherish life. Everything was going fine, until the last year, when his son arrived back home, from jail. His son, a criminal with a history of theft, laid his filthy eyes, on me and her, the very first day itself. After that, life also took an unexpected turn. Adding to the problems already present, my husband died in a car accident, leaving us alone. His bike collided with a heavy metal truck, and he instantly, died due to the severe blow. Six months have passed by. Everyday, the landlord's son tries to touch me or my daughter. Being old, the landlord cannot say anything, and his son doesn't even listen to the little, that he says. His son stalks us everyday, wherever we go. I myself only know, how difficult it is to manage my job and her schooling, at the same time. I can't even leave her alone for a split second. Always, when I reach her school, five minutes late after the classes have got over, I fear I may not see her again. " - The lady starts crying, again.
"He was again following us today. while we were coming here. That's why I insisted on getting in quickly. At least, inside a closed premise, we feel temporary relief." - The lady replies, still weeping.
Ramesh takes a deep breath. "World is full of problems, and more number of people, who create it." - A deep thought comes across his mind.
After taking a deep breath again, he speaks - "Okay. Relax. After her admission, I will drop you both to your home. For today, you might get a temporary solution, But, every other day,neither I, no one else, will be able to help you. And this will go on increasing with time. Only you can help yourself. Stand against what's wrong. And I tell you, things will automatically fall in the right place. Give my words, a thought." Ramesh goes in the accounts cabin, to bring a form.
Entering inside, he pauses. "They are stuck in a bad situation. If no one helps them, they might not be able to get out of it. But, who will help them. They have no one. " - Ramesh says to himself. Lost in thoughts, he forgets to take out the admission form. He realises it after 5 minutes. Taking out the form, he comes outside.
Once the process is done, Ramesh keeps the payment in drawer, takes out his car keys and guides them towards the garage. Although hesitant, the lady follows him with her daughter.
Once the car has hit the road, Ramesh asks,"Bdw, I didn't get the chance to ask your name. You are Mrs. Pallavi, right?"
The lady smiles and replies," Yeah. You must have seen it in the form.". Pallavi chuckles and says again,"I however, know your name. So, tell me, how does it feel to run an organisation, of your own. From an engineering graduate to the owner of an organisation, how was the journey?"
Ramesh smiles. The days of initial struggles and defeats, flashes right before his eyes."It was not easy. But, the efforts made was worth the results," - He says.
They start talking more and more. Ramesh gets lost and spellbound in her words. He falls in love with her. Her charming eyes and lovely smile enchants him. "What if I help her. What if I rescue her?" - he thinks in mind, but words refuse to come out.
After a journey of almost half an hour, they reach their destination. Ramesh wished the journey never ended.
Pallavi gets out of the car with her daughter. Suddenly, from nowhere, a bike hastily comes to halt. A young lean guy, probably drunk, incapable to stand on feet, parks the bike just besides the car with a loud sound, and grabs hold of Pallavi. Her daughter hides inside the car.
"Where the fuck, did you go? I had told you to inform me, wherever you are going. Why didn't you, you filthy cunt? What did you think? I won't find out. I will fuck you like anything today, bitch." - He raises his hand to slap her.
Ramesh holds his hand. "Don't you dare. I will break every bone in your body, if you do so. You have disrespected her enough. Now say sorry and go." - says Ramesh, calm but fierce.
The guy looks towards him. His eyes are red, primarily due to alcohol and more due to anger. He raises his hand again, but Ramesh hold him strong. He is unable to move his hand. He shouts,"Who the fuck are you? Oh I see, the bitch finally got a fuck buddy. Why? wasn't I man enough?"
Ramesh lands a tight punch on his face. He falls on the ground. His lips start bleeding. "You motherfucker" - he shouts and tries to rise up. Ramesh gives a strong kick on his face. He falls unconscious.
"Pack your things. We are leaving this place. No one can stay here, more than a minute. I will complete the monetary formalities. Meanwhile, you go inside and pack your stuff. " - Ramesh says, with a silent determination in his eyes. He calls a local tempo provider, giving them the address to come. Duhita was crying inside the car.
Ramesh lifts her up." Don't worry. You will have to see these, no more. Your mom and I will take you, to a very nice place." - Ramesh says and Duhita smiles.
Pallavi feels herself, drawn towards him. For the first time, some one after her dead husband, had spoken for her. She finds Ramesh's caring nature and manly actions, the only qualities a girl may look for in a guy.
"But, I am married. I can't feel it. It's wrong to feel something like this. I can't enter forbidden lines. I can't" - She says to herself, silently. A gentle breeze blows over her face, suddenly, making her face go numb.
"Don't worry. You are not wrong. Everyone has to move on. Take a leap of faith. Let it happen slowly." - She hears a familiar voice, whisper in her ears. She turns around. No one is there. She is standing alone on the road.
"Mom, uncle has gone inside. Let's pack things and leave this place. I don't want to stay here." - Duhita says, holding her mother's hand.
"Yes, sweetheart!! Let's go." - Pallavi smiles and picks her up. She smiles and decides to give a try. They move inside the house to pack things. The tempo also arrives in front of the building gate, where the landowner's son is still lying unconscious.
