Classic collection of short stories

-"Roll no. 21" -"Present Sir." -"Why are you so late Mandwi?" asked Professor Bose. -"Actually, the train was late. I am extremely sorry, Sir." I said. It was History class. Professor Bose allowed me to enter the class. That day, I was really late because of the train. I was studying in St. Xavier's College, Calcutta and our college was full of discipline. It was not like other colleges. The students had to enter the College on time and had to gather in the Assembly Hall within the first bell. Discipline was necessary for the students and that's why I liked the College. In the lunch time, I was sitting with Piyali in the canteen, eating sandwich. A person came and stood before me just like a statue. I looked at him. -"Mandwi, did you think of it? " Rohan asked me. -"What?" -"I love you. Have you come to any conclusion regarding this? I have been behind you for about two years. This is my last year." -"And so your love for me will end this year. No problem. I have already told that it is not possible for me to accept you. I don't want to hamper my studies." -"Is it your final answer?"asked Rohan. -"Yes, it's my final answer. Until and unless I achieve my goal in life, I can't think of anything else." -"We will again meet. I will be waiting for you and it will be proved that my love for you has always been pure." Rohan left sadly. What could I do? My heart adviced me to focus on my studies. It is not that I did not like him. My heart had a place for him but it was more important for me to focus on my career. I wanted to serve in Indian administration and I started to prepare to sit for the examination of UPSC (Union Public Service Commission). After five years. I had achieved my goal. Though, it was my first goal, I had many other things to do. I wanted to do a research work on History. My first posting was in Shimla. I was very happy but I had to leave my mother. I made suitable arrangements for her. On the required day, I left for Shimla. In Shimla, I stayed in a government quarter. There, my luck did something which I didn't expect. I used to go for a morning walk daily. One morning, while I was returning to my quarter, I was struck by a car. I became senseless. When I regained my senses, I saw that I was lying on a hospital bed and Rohan was sitting in front of me. I was just stunned to see him. -"How are you feeling Mandwi? Are you ok?" -"Yes Rohan, I am fine but how are you here?" -"I have come here for a holiday trip." -"Ohhh." -"By the way, congratulations Mandwi! You have ultimately achieved your goal." -"Thank you. You didn't tell what job you are doing." -"I am serving in Indian Police Service (IPS) in Delhi." -"Oo, wow! Congratulations Rohan. You didn't ever tell me that you wanted to become IPS." -"Did you ever tell me that you too feel for me, you too love me?" I just didn't know what to say. My face turned reddish-brown. I preferred to remain quiet. -"I am still waiting for you Mandwi. Now when you have achieved your goal, you should accept me, right?" Rohan asked me. -"Yes, I should." Rohan's face became brightened as if all the happiness of the world have gathered on his face. He smiled and hugged me and close to my ear, he whispered, "I have loved you all my life Mandwi." I too whispered in his ear," I have never thought of anyone else except you Rohan."
