Chapter - 18
For the the last couple of days Nisar got up early in morning after taking bath, he moved together with Avinash towards railway station . when Avinash came from office in evening he asked Nisar about development.Nisar replied smirking that he had gone for time pass.
Dreaded thought for a moment came into mind of Avinash if such frustration and failure persisted lest he take self destructive step. Avinash had been observing his fake courage, determination embellished with silly smile
One evening when Avinash came from office he found Nisar arranging documents.
'Is everything fine? After long time I am seeing you with documents?'
Nisar replied smilingly ' A company of UAE has eventually selected me i have signed the contract. Tomorrow i shall go for medical test.'
' So when you are going.'
'First Let the visa come'
'Normally how many days are taken in issuing visa.' Avinash enquired.
" Maximum 35 days , i hope visa will probably come by end of this month ." Nisar informed gladly
" So at last your tension got reduced to great extent."
"Until I get visa copy in my hand. Nothing can be said.'
" So at last your tension got reduced to great extent."
"Until I get visa copy in my hand. Nothing can be said.'
'By the time your visa comes, why dont you make round to your home' Avinsh questioned
Nisar ignored his queries saying rather he will wait for visa and follow up with recruitment agency visiting personally. Later he informed that contract is of two years so he will come after completing full terms provided that working environment is good.
Next day Nisar got up early and left for station for medical check up. Nisar come back from office he informed Avinash about the news of his medically fitness.
Nisar was looking happy since after longtime he was paid for his patience and perseverence.But his plea of not going home was still bewildering Avinash. He thought that he could have followed up with agency even from home. Later he thought that this was his personal decision after all Nisar knew better about how to handle such issue why should he interfere in such thing about which he had no knowledge. But many questions were emerging in mind of Avinash regarding his marriage plan, his clumsy relations with his family. He thought at one point of time 'Will this two years in abroad will bring happiness back on his face, will his complicated relations with his siblings restored ? Avinash wished one thing he wanted Nisar to come out from the circumstance he was passing through when he looked his hapeles state specifically when he noticed that circumstances had left him alone completely.
Avinash gave glance at Nisar who was immersed in reading, occasionally lifted her eyes to TV
'No doubt You have good habit , book is the best thing to utilize your spare time. I have never been bookish" Avinash said breaking silence.
'I had read somewhere that reading books imparts wisdom that is why I started to read because i found myself lacking wisdom.' Nisar said rubbing his eye and kept the book aside closed his eyes.Avinash saw smile was floating on his plum lips.
Avinash looked at his watch it was 11.30 . He stood up , drank half of glass of water, put out the tube light and switched on night bulb, came back on bed switching off TV.
lying on his bed Avinash muttered ' What wisdom he is talking about all. Books have eaten out all his inherited wisdom could a wise person have made his life hell like the way he has made his life.
After almost a fortnight Avinash asked him if he got any response Nisar replied few visas have come but his name is not there.
Nisar was waiting impatiently for visa he was also looking little concerned with passing of time.
Meanwhile visas of many did came but his was dilly dallied, agency kept on assuring that his visa is expected within a weak. That weak never came even after passing more than a month.
One day Avinash came back from office he saw Nisar moving towards upstair of flate with bag hanging on his shoulder, his sluggish movement showed that he was bit tired and immersed in some thought.
Avinash stepped back and moved to stationary shop to spend some time , he let him go up stair without asking him any question. Later spending hour out, he entered in room found him reclining on bed watching Tv
He put off his cloth, took light shower in bathroom then came back on bed to take rest. Nisar was lying down silently on other bed
' Is there no reality program coming on any channel" Avinash asked
'I didn’t check. might have been coming on somewhere. Let me see " He begun to change channel and stopped on channel where dancing competition was going on. he passed remote towards Avinash.
" Did you call up office to get some idea about any development regarding your visa" Avinash probed
'Today i again went to office. Office staff was giving irrational plea regarding delay of visa. When i became little rigid to know the fact. Office staff got angry and told me that one and half month more I will have to wait. So i took my passport back.They didn't assure even if i wait for one more month ,visa will surely come'
'So what will happen now" Nisar asked gravely
'Visas of other candidates have already come. My chance is bleak and the way office had returned my passport pretending to my impatient behavior. I understood that time only ,that office staff was hiding something from me regarding my visa status." he told earnestly
" So what should be assumed, again hard luck?" Avinash asked slowly
"It looks so. Company doesn’t delay so long in issuing visa. This is second time when my medical test has gone in vain. Last time few months back i got my medical test done for Qatar, visa never came till the validity of medical got expired.Nisar replied wetting his lips from tongue.
Just then phone of Nisar rang.
"Hello"
"Where are you"
" We are in room" Nisar replied then disconnected the call
"Amaan is coming" Nisar told
After a short while door bell rang. Avinash went to open the door it was Amaan.
"Hello"
"Where are you"
" We are in room" Nisar replied then disconnected the call
"Amaan is coming" Nisar told
After a short while door bell rang. Avinash went to open the door it was Amaan.
" How are you Amaan.' Avinash greeted
'Fine, You people have now stopped going out ever since you have brought Tv. Anyway this is my wedding card" He smiled and took out one from the bundle and passed it to Nisar
'Your name is also written over the envelope" Amaan said giving a smile to Avinash.
'Your name is also written over the envelope" Amaan said giving a smile to Avinash.
'Thanks' Avinash smiled
Nisar gave cursorily look on invitation card then passed it to Avinash.
After spending couple of minutes Amaan stood up and made way to door. Avinash and Nisar followed him towards downstairs later both came inside
