Love (a story of Ramanath)

Ramanath was growling. It was still a dark day with this continuous rain. It might have been poured draught in Tarai but here its unwanted rain. Ramanath doubted at the intention of God.

But he had to go to his work. He wore his coat, picked up his umbrella and came out near to the door. It stared rain harder; it seemed as if the rain mocking him. Current of water was falling from the eaves. The rain drop is falling from the roof. The sky looks black and blue. The sound of raind drops on the trees and the tin roofs was monotonous. The road was quite, not a single soul was there. The rain beat so hard that the trees around the house were bowing their head. Time to time cold breeze hurtled like storm; the smallest drop of water goes here and there. With this sight, Ramanath felt sad. He felt as if he was all alone.

अन्ततः नेपाल फर्किएँ

हातमा नयाँ एमआरपी छ । ‘एम्बेसी अफ नेपाल, जर्मनी’को स्ट्याम्पसहित । हस्तलिखित पासपोर्टको म्याद सकिएपछि तीन महिनाअघि एक सय २० युरो तिरेर बनाएको । एमआरपीमा उल्लेख भएअनुसार अझै चार महिना जर्मनी जान पाउने अनुमति मसँग छ । तर, म नेपालमा छु । 

एक साताअघि, जर्मनीको राजधानीमा थिएँ । भौतिक सुख–सुविधाले भरिपूर्ण जर्मनीको राजधानी बर्लिनको एक स्कुलमा मेरो बसाइ थियो । बस्ने छुट्टै कोठा थियो । खाना बनाउने दुःख थिएन । स्कुलको होस्टल मेसमा कार्ड देखाए फ्रीमा खान पाइन्थ्यो । फ्रीमा स्वास्थ्य सुविधा । कोही कसैले नराम्रो रेस्पोन्स गर्दैनथे । तैपनि, नेपाल फर्किएको छु । घरीघरी आफैलाई सपनामा पो छु कि झैँ लाग्छ । नेपाल केही समय घुम्न आएँ ? अहँ होइन । युरोप बस्ने भिसासहितको पासपोर्ट माई क्लियर ब्यागमा थन्क्याएको छु । युरोपको भिसा लागेको मान्छे, भिसाको म्याद सकिए उतै लुकेर बसिदिन पनि सक्थेँ । युरोपको १९ वटा देशमा जान पाउने अनुमति छ, मेरो एमआरपीमा अझै ।
