prey under the shaded trees.
The elderly people and parents slowly moved out of the park along with their kids. Except for the sound of the vehicles on the road, silence slowly occupied the place.

The counter that was busy throughout the day looked deserted. The sales men at the counter read evening newspapers and talked to each other relaxed. Usually, the counter closed by nine in the night. After that no one can stay there and the park gates will be locked for the day.

“Enough for the day,” talking to himself Vel got up and walked slowly toward the gate which was partially opened. He knew that Reema lived near that parlor and he also know where her house was. Yet, he did not want to go to her house and find out what happened to her. When she herself did not have the heart to tell what happened to her, he also did not want to take the initiative and win her hands once again. As Caroline told him that Reema’s mobile got stolen during the accident and her parents told her not to have the mobile for a while. Reema’s mother did not allow anyone to talk to her except a very few friends.

Reema got used to the routine life at their native place. She slowly started to forget her colleagues in the work place. Time has the mysterious effect on the minds of people. It can slowly make people forget even things that were considered precious and dear and get involved to the present life and the present situation they all lived. It happened in the same way to Reema. She completely got diverted from the thoughts about Vel and her life at the new place occupied her days.

Even Caroline faded away from her memories. New people came into her life replacing the old ones. Initially Reema felt distanced from them, but slowly she learned to be a part of them and got merged into their way of life.

The day started chill for Vel. After heavy rains for a stretch of ten days, it was now freezing and the morning air pierced through the skin and raised goosebumps.
Though he went late to bed, he could not sleep any longer. The heaviness that rested on his heart seemed to increase day by day, and he desperately wished something to happen. He must know if he can win the hands of Reema or he must walk away from her and start a new life. The long silence from Reema made him feel confused and worried. He tried all ways to reach her, yet, he could not succeed. He could not contact her by mobile as she lost her mobile and so the number was out of reach.

Somehow, he managed to get her personal e-mail id but not even a single response to all his mails. He also left messages in the messenger, so that she would read when she logs into the messenger.

Whenever he spoke to Caroline, she was interested to talk about all other things, except Reema. He did not understand why she voluntarily skipped to talk more about Reema. Caroline did not want to encourage talking about Reema and give false hopes to him.
Caroline understood the sudden changes that had set in the mind of Reema, and Reema herself had not shared anything regarding that. She talked to her in an elusive way that ignored all talks related to the office and the people who were working along with her.
Standing in the dim light of the dawn, he looked at the buds on the rose plant. More than ten buds. Then it will be a treat to watch those flowers that slowly unfurled and bloomed into beautiful flowers spreading the fragrance across the house.

“Hi, Good morning,” Sanjay called him from the main road. He was on his way jogging.

“Good morning.” Vel replied with a smile.

“Why don’t you join me? We can return within twenty five minutes.”

“Ok. I need this walk.” Without ignoring his invite, Vel joined his colleague.

Vel could feel the fresh air. He inhaled the fresh air that rejuvenated his dull sprits and woke him up instantly. After exchanging a few words, both of them sprinted slowly on the empty road.

Every day he used to walk the lengthy stretch of road for more than twenty minutes. He always enjoyed his daily walk. Whenever he crossed the stretch of road with morning glory flowers that started to bloom, he walked slowly and enjoyed admiring those beautiful flowers. Pale pink colored morning glory flowers and bright violet tube like flowers conveyed their good morning to him.

Vel loved to watch the moving clouds, the rising sun and the songs of song birds while walking down the road.

While jogging on the main road, they came across Reema’s house. The gates were locked and no one was seen around.

“Did you hear anything about Reema? How is she?” When Sanjay asked him, Vel did not reply back.

He did not want to talk about Reema and spoil his morning. Morning blues are not needed now and he wanted to forget everything just like a dream.

“I got a mail from her yesterday. She is good, slowly coming back to normal.” To Sanjay’s answer, Vel did not reply. He wanted Sanjay to stop talking about her, but could not tell him to shut up and mind his own business. Sanjay did not know about the things that happened between him and Reema, and so he did not want to snub him for no fault of his. Without replying to him, he kept on jogging.

“Sanjay, when we are jogging, we should not talk, do you know that?” Vel politely reminded him.

“Ok.” Sanjay did not talk for a while.

“I just could not forget the trip we went last.” Sanjay started to talk once again.

“Which trip? The trip on the ECR” Vel questioned him.

“No, the day out we enjoyed at the resorts.” Sanjay replied him back.

By that time, they have reached Vel’s house and so they parted wishing to meet again in the office.

Vel could not control his anger. Reema deliberately avoided him. If she can reply to Sanjay’s mail, why she could not reply to his mail? That showed the she is not interested in him any more and does not want to continue with their relationship. For no fault of him, things happened so suddenly, that they had to get separated and walk in different ways. Vel let out a deep sigh; he could come out of this failure, but it would take some time till something happened. He did not expect that something happened so soon that changed his life to a great extent.

The House Sparrow is known to be monogamous when it comes to picking mates. They will spend the mating season looking for their preferred mate and then stick with each other for the rest of the breeding season. In fact, House Sparrows actually keep to the same mate for the rest of their lives. However, if a mate is lost, for whatever reason, during the breeding season, it could be replaced quite quickly. Courtship between House Sparrows usually starts as early as January and can continue on till the month of July.

What happens during courtship is that the male House Sparrow goes around and looks for a potential partner. He looks for a potential nesting site and hovers around the area. The male House Sparrow looking for a mate would then chirp around the nesting site, in the hopes of attracting a female House Sparrow. Each time a female House Sparrow wanders near the area, the male House Sparrow chirps even more loudly and quickly. Sometimes, when a female House Sparrow drops by and then starts hopping around (or away for that matter) the male House Sparrow would follow her. The male House Sparrow can even show “theatrics” by hopping around and quivering his wings so that the female would notice him even more. It is not uncommon to see several male House Sparrows engage in these activities while trying to catch the attention of a single female
House Sparrow.

Once House Sparrows have found their mate, they will move on to the breeding cycle. This can start as early as March and end as late as August. Pairs mate near their nests. This can happen several times a day. The male House Sparrow is the one designated to defend the nesting site. Though there is no observed range which is considered by the House Sparrow as its territory, what has been observed is that the male House Sparrow defends the immediate area surrounding its nest – and it does so quite fiercely. This is one factor why the House Sparrow is considered by many (at least in North America and other places where they have been introduced) to be pesky, even to the point that they are considered pests. The House Sparrow is very adaptable and breeds easily and quickly. Add to that the fact that they defend their nests very fiercely and you can understand why some people think that way.

As Reema wished their relationship to be monogamous as Vel wished. She did not know how things are going to materialize and end in the marriage. Reema now did not have any other option to pray and wait for good things to happen. And as she wished, things started to turn in her favor that strengthened her hope and happy life.

All through the way Beena kept on talking to Vel, but he did not responded to any of her questions.

“Why are you so moody nowadays?” Beena asked him.

“It is not the time to start again.” His answer did not convey any sensible meaning to her.

“What?” She once again asked him. Yet, she did not stop smiling at him. Her smile was so enticing that made his mind wavering once again with the thoughts about Reema. But he did not want Beena to know all that was happening to him.

Beena sensed something went wrong with him for he always looked cheerful and smiling.

“What is the need to be like this?” She questioned him once again.

He let out a long, deep sigh. “I know it is not good to be like this. My parents are so much worried about me.” He added in a calm tone. They both questioned and answered each other without understanding the real context of the question. Beena wanted to know the real reason for him being sulky, but he avoided answering to that question.

“I will not tell you are wrong. Yet, don’t take a long time to decide.” Her eyes looked into his and searched for an untold answer.

“Sure, yet…” without completing the statement, he took a sip of his favorite Assam tea.

“Why you always prefer cold coffee?” Vel questioned his cousin.

“Because I like cold coffee,” she laughed at him.

It was around 4 pm in the evening. There was not much crowd in the coffee shop. Here and there people sat scattered. Most of them were lovers and they were whispering sweet nothings along with their coffee. People who want to be left lonely for hours or just spend hours without any disturbance usually drop in at the secluded coffee shops. The coffee shop on the ECR road was empty at that time. People, who were travelling or were on their way home, just
