“Board game? This is a bored game.” said Runa.
“What else could we all do? Getting stuffed in this obnoxious house with the phase gone out?” said I.
“Oof!! On top of the load shading there is mosquitoes. At least someone do something about it. If it keeps going on like this they will end up drinking all my blood within next morning” Mitali screamed as a mosquito bit her.
“Koi… amake to kichhu kamrachchhe na?” Binoy invariably supported the mosquitoes.
Hrishi snapped, “Abbe… tu itna kaala hain ki machchhar bhi tujhko andhere se alag nehi kar pa raha”
And there was again a thrust of laughter and giggles.
Mitali said, “Ohh!! SIELENCE! Why you guys laugh laudly?”
Hrishi said, “Because it is no crime to not to be so hushed up all the way” and added a laud “HA HA HA”.
Mitali got pink over this and said, “You guys are all the same. Do whatever you want. Please don’t bother me”
“No one have that much time to bother you. See, we are already very busy.” Hrishi said and lit up a cigarette.
Amrita was silent all the way. now she snapped, “Hey Hrish… Don’t smoke.”
Hrishi snapped back, “I am not smoking.”
- “Uhh… then would you please tell me exactly what are you doing with the burning cigarette in your mouth?”
- “Just trying to get rid of the mosquitoes, and using tobacco in substitute of dhuna” and again started laughing.
- “You are just intolerable. I can not sustain you people any more. I am leaving” Mitali said.
“Where?” Binoy asked as if he was genuinely curious.
“Outside. Just getting rid of you.” Mitali declared.
I said in a newsreader’s tone, “Mitu is going outside. In the outside, amidst the pitch black darkness, a grayish figure will emerge out of the ivory backdrop. Slowly the figure will come towards our beloved Mitu. And Mitu will scream, ‘AAAAAHHH!!!’” I imitated Mitali’s sharp voice.
“You people are really intolerable.” And mitali sat beside me with a distinct thump.
The cigarette passing from hand to hand had just reached me. After taking a puff I politely asked Mitali, “Counter?”
Probabli this was a bit extra. Mitali got senti over this. And we all had to make her up. “Mitu… Mitu… Mitu… you are the gem of our team. See we were just having some fun. No intention truly…

On the contrary, the outside world was very calm. So calm that even the breathing of the plants and trees could be heard. The leaves of the tall deodar trees were trembling in the excitement of spring. The taller coconut and palm trees were making distinct hissing noises… they were breathing as it seemed. And a faint yellow moon could be seen near the horizon. The shadow of the moon looked garland of light around her.
In the very faint moonlight, two elongated shadows could be seen. They were slowly approaching the house.

“The whole matter proves one thing for certain, Mitu has certain allergy towards ghosts. Especially if they are pale and big Brahmadatyi type”
“Ohh!! Shut up Hrishi, you people frighten Mitu so much that she doesn’t even has the courage to go to the bathroom alone” said Amrita.
“Shut up you guys. I said I am bored” Runa talked after a long time in her distinct girly-girly tone.

“Yes, so are we. But do we have other options?” snapped Hrishi.
“Other options than playing Ludo in turns. Buladi herself may have not been played this much Ludo.” I said.
