THE LETTER-A SHORT-STORY 

Circa 1825. It is a six month journey from London to Calcutta if the weather doesn't trouble us. I knew it was not a great idea to leave our own land and spend next two years in an unknown country like India. But I was helpless. Duty calls to take forward the British Raj in India. Like it was so difficult for me to take a decision to leave, I know it must have been equally difficult for you as well, to leave me. 

As you always did, that day also you played a new prank. This time you handed me a letter in an envelope asking me to open it only when you stop seeing the land from the ship and when no one is around me. You also mentioned that the content of the letter would change my life altogether very soon. How could you be so cruel to give such a huge task with so much of suspense!?

It was okay for the first few minutes after leaving the port. First hour was also okay as I was trying to imagine  so many things what would have been written in there. Is it something about a possible new baby! Or is it that you want me to open my baggage in which you must have packed my most favorite but yet to read books? Or is it some surprise I may not like and you didn't want tell me on my face?
