This is Ratan.  12-13 years old.A city boy came to remote village for job. She used to take care of Postmaster in all daily matters.  After months effort he is able to manage get back posted to city. He is relieved.
"Ratan, I am going tomorrow."
"Where, dadababu?"
"Home."
"When will you come back?"
"Never."
Ratan perplexed for a while and then asked him, "Dadababu, will you take me to your home?"
"How can it be possible?"  
He never explained why it can not be possible. 
Postmaster realized, life is full of this kind of separations, death. There is no reason for turning back. No body cares for nobody.
Poor Ratan. She does not know philosophy. She just believes human minds.
Still Ratan waits for the postmaster.
