Before the snowfall covers the street I reached to my home. It was so different feelings in my heart. But, it was very cold dark night and I wanted to sleep as soon as possible. My parents became happy with my arrival at home. I smiled to them and went to my bed. I was not in mood to read any books so I selected to hear some music. I was about to on the music and Anna's phone rang on my desk. I lifted the receiver and started talking with her.
"Hi, James!"
"Wow ! Anna, it is lovely surprise!"
"I was trying since an hour. Is there any problem?"
"Not so much. It's snowfall here."
"Oh ! my mom's phone is also not working."
"She is not in town. She will come back on Sunday."
"Actually ! my classmates and teachers are going to Jamaica for 10 days for camp. I am also going to join them. Will you please inform her, please?"
"Oh ! Anna. Why are you showing formalities to me? I will definitely inform her."
"come on, James. My habits are changed. I am sorry."
" Tell me something about your life there."
" I miss you a lot, James. I feel so lonely here. All my classmates come from rich families. They are all having home here. I am the only one who have come from so far. I have chosen library to spend my free time. My study is also very tough." she was almost crying.
"Anna, control yourself. Whenever you will get small vacations, come to home."
"Ok, James ! I will do."
" I miss you too."
"You liar, I talked with Eleena before you. Do you have feelings for her?"
"I know, you both are very closed friends. Has she told you something about me?"
" Not so much. According to her, you are very sincere and shy boy." She laughed.
"anything else she said?"
"No ! but you've not answered me. Do you have feelings for her?" she asked me with little hesitation.
" I like her. Nothing more."
"James ! I think, she loves you."
"What?" smile came on my face.
"She is very serious about you as per her words."
" I will ask her later."
" James, I will come home in Cristmas time for around 20 days. That time I will help you both."
Suddenly, telephone lines were become dead. I covered myself under blanket. I was thinking about Eleena. Her smiling innocent face was in my eyes. I closed my eyes and started dreaming about her.
In the morning, I was awaken with fresh smile. Cold was decreased. As it was so early morning, my parents were sleeping. I decided to read my study notes and went to study room. But, Eleena's thoughts had covered my mind.
After few days, I got fever during school time. My teacher had allowed me to go home. I went to hospital before going to home. I called my father to meet me there. When I reached to hospital, I remembered that Eleena's mother was working there. so, I asked about her to the reception.
"Excuse me ! can I talk with Natalia Richards, please ?"
"Sure ! what do I tell her ?" the receptionist smiled.
"Tell her , James is here."
She talked on intercom and told me to wait for her in sitting area. But, She reached to me before I reached to sitting area.
"James ? what happened? You are here at this time? You must be in school at this time." she was anxious by her words. But, I marked that she was so changed than I met her at her home.
" I've got some fever, aunty."
"This is hospital. Don't call me here "aunty". Ok?" She became angry.
"Ok ! Nata....lia" I felt some hesitation and odd to call her by names.
" Ok, come with me."
I started walking with her. We both reached to doctor's cabin. He examined and prescribed some medicines and injection. Eleena's mother was watching us quietly from some distance. I took the paper and looked at her. She came out from the cabin with me. We started again walking to the pharmacist's department. Suddenly, she stopped me and hugged me very tightly. I felt so strange, because before few minutes she had stopped me to call her "aunty" in hospital.
"I am sorry, James." she was crying.
"It's ok, Natalia." I tried to control her tears.
"Come to my home this Sunday."
" Ok. But, which time?"
"after lunch time." She brought out a little mirror from her pocket and wiped her tears.
"Ok." I smiled and given the prescription paper to her.
She prepared an injection for me and told to ward boy to bring the medicines from pharmacist for me. I was expecting her to leave me at main door. But, she hugged again and kissed my chick with saying "bye" to me. I felt very strange about her behavior with me. I reached to the main gate where my father was waiting for me.
On next day, Eleena's mother called at my home. When I received her call, it was the saddest new I heard from her mouth.
" Hello James ! I am Natalia, Eleena's mother."
" What happened?" I stopped myself from calling her "aunty" again.
" Eleena has left home last night. I have got her letter on my dining table. She went away in night with a boy named Robin."
"Robin works as a clerk in our school. He has left the job last month."
"I have to inform to police before anything may happen with my daughter."
"Ok ! I am coming to you." I hanged the receiver and ran to my bicycle. I was in very hurry, so could not inform my mother.
I reached to her home and knocked the door. Eleena's mother opened the door. I felt very strange with her look. She was attired with make-up. She was in very costly clothes too. She was looking so much younger than her age.
" Come inside, James." she invited me inside home.
I entered in her home and found everything changed. All the furniture and interior was changed to the unique type. She brought red wine for me.
"No, I don't drink" I neglected to drink the wine. But, she smiled and slowly forced me to drink it. I could not resist her more and started drinking.
"I have asked to police for complain, but as per law I can't stop her to take her decisions. She is mature and adult by law." she was not looking sad by Eleena's leaving.
"I should go to my home now. Thanks for the wine." I put the glass on table and asked her to go home. She smiled to me and came near me.
" Ok ! James. But, please meet me sometimes whenever you will have time. I have become alone now." She touched my face again. But, this time I felt her as mother. she broken and cried a lot on my shoulder. I tried to give her sympathy. After few minutes, she controlled herself and I left the home.
When I reached to my home, I found a letter in my pocket. I opened the letter and started reading it while lying on my bed. I became disappointed when completed the letter.
"Hi, James!"
"Wow ! Anna, it is lovely surprise!"
"I was trying since an hour. Is there any problem?"
"Not so much. It's snowfall here."
"Oh ! my mom's phone is also not working."
