Playwright : Jotsna Jari
.
Shweta :- I will not lie, I know your that touch very well. But how is it possible ? (she pinches herself)... Am I dreaming ? who are you !
Tuhin :- I... I am.
Shweta :- No, not at all. Tuhin is no more. He is not in this world.
Tuhin :- Dear Rani, I am... I am here.
Shweta :- How will that be ? It ended in a plane crush ! Ah... I can't anymore.
Tuhin :- My dear Durba, I am... look at me.
Shweta :- No... you aren't Tuhin. You are someone else.
Tuhin :- Everything heard is not true. Behold, I have returned from
the face of death.
Shweta :- Is this possible ?
Tuhin :- Yes... possible.
Shweta :- (she closes both eyes)... I can't believe it. You came back after twelve long years !!
Tuhin :- I had to come back.
Shweta :- ( she opens her eyes & looks )... Where is Tuhin ? (Tears flow from her eyes in pain ).
Tuhin :- (His voice is a little far away)... Come here... we will meet everyday.
(Shweta quickly gets down from the tower and goes towards the car. She notices, Tuhin sits in the back seat of the car. Shweta also sits next to him.)
Tuhin :- (Whispers)... Close your eyes. Don't wake up... then I can't stay anymore.
Shweta:- (Suddenly she looks around clearly & tries to understand )... What is this ? Where is the forest ? Where is Tuhin ? I am in my bed ! Oh God, give him back to me... returns him.
(In a distance, the sound of bell
and the azan are hard ).
( End.... )
