Chapter 7
Will this look good? No, this won't look good. Will this look good? No, it doesn't look as good. Will this match? No, this doesn't match my pants.
Rick had no idea it was already nine o'clock while he was busy choosing what to wear for his meeting with Tanisa today. Looking at the wall clock, he saw it was past nine. Rick was completely stunned and said, It's nine o'clock already?! I still haven't been able to decide what to wear!
Turning around, Rick saw his entire bed cluttered with all his clothes and pants scattered everywhere.😱
Rick quickly grabbed a black shirt and a pair of beige pants from the pile and rushed to get ready.
Rick:- If clothes are left scattered all over the bed like this, Mom is going to kill me!😨
Rick looked up at the wall clock again and saw it was already 9:15am.
Rick:- Never mind, Mom will clean this up.
Rick rushed out of the room and at that moment, Ritika Devi was sitting in the living room.
Ritika Devi:- Are you going somewhere?
Rick:- I told you yesterday that I'm going to Ranaghat.
Ritika Devi:- Ranaghat, What are you going to Ranaghat for?
Rick:- I'm going to Ranaghat College. Mom, I have to leave right now. I must reach Ranaghat College by ten o'clock.
Ritika Devi:- Hold on, there's no telling when you'll be back home. I'm making breakfast, eat before you go.
Rick:- Alright, make it quickly then.
Rick quickly finished his breakfast by nine-thirty and called Tanisa.
On The Other Hand,
Tanisa was still getting ready when her phone suddenly started ringing
Tanisa,
Hello
rick:- So, are you ready?
tanisa:- Yeah, I just got ready. Have you already left the house, or what?
rick:- No, I haven't left yet. I'll be there in just a few minutes then.
tanisa:- Never mind, you guys don't need to take the trouble of coming over here, I'll just take the train. You'd better head to college and wait for me.
rick:- Alright, I'll wait for you at the station then. You come by train.
tanisa:- Alright, whatever you prefer. Besides, this actually works out better. Ranaghat College is quite far from the station anyway. So I'll come by train, you wait at the station.
rick:- Alright, I'm hanging up the phone now. You come safely.
Ranaghat station remains heavily crowded in the morning because everyone uses it at this time to go to their work or office.
The Sealdah-Ranaghat train arrived at Ranaghat station at 10:10, and Tanisa got down from the train.
Due to the heavy crowd at the station in the morning, Rick was waiting for Tanisa outside the station.
Tanisa stepped outside the station and started looking around for Rick.
At that time, Rick was sitting on his bike, looking at the forex market gold chart, completely unaware that he was sitting in a stylish pose.
Tanisa spotted Rick and walked up to him.
Tanisa:- Hey, Rick
Rick looked ahead and saw Tanisa standing in front of him. Once he saw her, he couldn't take his eyes off her because Tanisa was wearing a deep blue Anarkali churidar with golden threadwork. Along with it, she wore a white dupatta featuring blue and green floral prints. Below, loose white palazzo pants complemented her outfit perfectly. She looked so stunningly beautiful that words couldn't describe it. That is why Rick kept gazing at Tanisa
😳
Noticing Rick wasn't answering, Tanisa walked over to him, snapped her fingers right near his face once or twice, and asked, 'What's wrong? Where did you drift off to?
🤔
Rick said, feeling a bit taken aback.
Rick:- Hhm Tanisa, when did you arrive? I didn't even notice!
Tanisa:- I just got here. By the way, what's the deal? Why are you sitting in such a stylish pose?
Rick:- No no , I wasn't, I was just sitting normally.
Tanisa:- Is that so? Then what are you looking at so intently on your phone?
Rick:- Oh, it's nothing, I was just looking at the forex market charts.
Tanisa:- Who do you think you're talking to? I don't understand any of this stuff! Whatever you just said went completely over my head. Alright, hurry up now, or we're going to be late!
Without wasting any more time, Rick quickly started his bike and set off for Ranaghat College with Tanisa.
10 minutes later, Rick and Tanisa arrived near Ranaghat College. Rick already knew that only professors and official staff were allowed through the college's first gate, while the second gate was for everyone else. Because of this, Rick quickly entered the college premises through the second gate.
Finding a good spot, Rick parked his bike and started walking towards the Geography Department with Tanisa.
Rick:- Tanisa, do you know anyone here?
Tanisa:- Yeah, I have a few friends here, both guys and girls.
Rick:- Are they school friends? Do I know them?
Tanisa:- Yeah, of course. You know all of them.
Tanisa and Rick both went to the Geography Department lab, and Swastika was already waiting for them there
Swastika:- Oh Tanisa, you have arrived
( Swastika is a mutual friend of Rick and Tanisa. Swastika also used to go for tuition where Tanisa and Rick went to study Geography )
Tanisa:- Yeah, I'm a bit late getting here, right?
Swastika:- No no, I also just arrived
Rick was standing next to them at that time, listening to everything they said
Tanisa:- Hey Rick, do you remember her? Swastika used to go to the same tuition where we studied in classes 11 and 12
Swastika:- Is that so? I don't quite remember
Rick:- Alright, it's no big deal. These things happen in life
Swastika:- So, without wasting any more time talking, let's get to work
Tanisa and Swastika both started working, and Rick also began helping Tanisa with her work 📝📏
2 Hours Later 🕑
Once all the work was done, Tanisa gathered all her things neatly and put them into her bag
Swastika:- Alright, so call me if you face any issue with this Dumpy Level Data
Tanisa:- Alright, if any issue arises, I will give you a call
Swastika:- Alright then
Tanisa:- So all the work is finished, when will you go home?
Swastika:- I have one more class left, I'll head home right after finishing that class
Tanisa:- Alright, so you head home. I'm running late, so I'm heading out
Swastika:- hm , Bye
Both Tanisa and Rick came out of the Geography Department.
Rick:- Tanisa, so now you don't have to deal with the train hassle, I will drop you home. The highway is right nearby, we will reach home in a short time.
Tanisa:- I was thinking the same thing, that'll be better, alright let's go
While Rick and Tanisa were walking past the college canteen, talking to each other, someone called Rick from behind. Rick turned around and saw that Shuvendu was sitting in the canteen at that moment and had called out to him.
Shuvendu:- Hey, Rick
Shuvendu came out of the college canteen
Rick:- Shuvendu, what are you doing here 😯
Shuvendu:- In fact, I should be asking what you are doing here! Plus, Tanisa is with you as well.
Tanisa:- Oh, it's nothing, I just came to collect data for a research paper
Shuvendu:- Data ! What kind of data?
Tanisa:- Weather data will be useful for my Geography project. Not even a project, actually I mean it will be needed for my research paper.
Shuvendu:- Are you studying Geography, or what ?
Tanisa:- Yes, I am studying Geography
Shuvendu:- Then the data collection is done
Tanisa:- Yes
Rick:- Are you studying in this college too?
Shuvendu:- Yeah, I am also studying Geography
After Rick and Shuvendu talked to each other for a while
Rick:- Alright, so I'll head out now, yeah. It's getting late. Also, I have to drop Tanisa off at her house.
Shuvendu:- Alright then, go. We'll meet again some day
Rick and Tanisa then left from there, went to where Rick had parked his bike, started the bike, came out of the college, and began their journey home along the nearby highway.🛣️
After a while, while going along the high road, Rick saw that a fair was going on at the Jugal Kishor Temple.🛕
Rick got off the highway, went in front of the Jugal Kishor temple, and stopped his bike.
Tanisa:- Why did you stop here again?
Rick:- Since we have come this far, let's go check out the fair for a bit.
Tanisa thought for a moment and said, 'Let's go then, I haven't been to any fair in a long time either.
Rick parked the bike in the parking area and entered inside the fair through the main gate, taking Tanisa along with him.
After entering through the gate, Rick looked around and saw that many shops were set up on both sides of the gate.
Additionally, Rick saw that there was roller coaster, Carousel, Bmper Car kid, Ferris Wheal and the entire fair was filled with various food stalls , ice cream Stalls and different kinds of shops, with a huge crowd gathering all over the fair. 🎡
Rick smiled a bit and said to Tanisa, Come on then, let's head towards the temple now
Tanisa looked at Rick with a bewildered gaze and said, 'Did you say something just now?
Rick:- I was saying, So let's head towards the temple, but you seem completely stunned just looking at the fair.
Tanisa:- Alas, I haven't seen a fair like this in a long time!
Rick:- Come on then, explore it with me today
Tanisa smiled a little 🤭 and replied, Alright, let's go then
Rick and Tanisa both stepped into the temple 🛕
