Zunayed Evan, One day in the scorching heat, Shihab in front of New Market

 One day in the scorching heat, Shihab in front of New Market

One day in the scorching heat of Bharadupura, Shihab is walking along the road in front of New Market with Mr. Rafiq seen on the way. They sat in a tea shop, ordered tea and stared at each other. An umbrella in Mr. Rafiq's hand. Exhausted by the heat, he said with tired hair, “Writing

"I am writing. But ... ”.

"Writing is not progressing."

Mr. Rafiq said, "How far have you written?" “I write all the time. The problem is ...

Mr. Rafiq stopped Shihab and said, "The previous problem?" Shihab nodded indicating yes.

"How many pages did you write?"

"Page after page is zero again." "How?"

"The more inaccessible a destination is, the more difficult it is to go back."

This will not be compromised by refunding Shihab Advance. ”

"What compromises?"

"I just don't understand my characters." Mr. Rafiq was upset and listened. Then he reassured her,

Mr. Rafiq seemed worried. Said, “Exclude brother. Me

How far? "

Shihab said,

"But what?"

“You keep writing. On the way home, Shihab bought new papers and pens from the shop.

Shihab was born during the winter. How much love-unrest, how many people come and stand here today with zero plus and minus.

There was a time in my mind to change a lot. I used to dream only when I closed my eyes. Dreams had stalks. How the sixteen or seventeen year old boy's insistence on doing the impossible has been forgotten in this endless journey!

There has never been such a family. There were people filling the house. Shihab's father worked in a government office. Mother used to take care of her sister's name Manha. The name Manha means the gift of God. Dad was very fond of his name. . Small

Shihab was not married anymore. My father died five years ago. And mother? He lived for two more years. An entire past has merged into the womb of a giant dinosaur.

A chair was left empty on the dining table after Dad died. Two after mother died. The last sign of the ruins reminded her from the day Manahar got married that there was no need for so many houses and furniture. Humorous memories are hard to come by.

A neatly arranged perennial family, like being wheeled into an old furniture store. It is not possible to know how many arrangements are made for the birth of a world but the end is like this.

It is very difficult to survive alone. So stay together with your roommate instead of the previous home. Emergence is like the current in a rough sea that changes direction from moment to moment.

Hasan's.

Based on his story from Hasan, he walks on Khulna Junction Station Road. There are different people with different pasts, different hardships but somewhere or other they both live together with the same emptiness.

Hasan says, “As soon as I entered the gate, I saw Nitu standing in the yard. Suddenly anxious to see me. I said, "I have to come back to the office." He said, "Why me?"

I said, “There is no special reason. There was a note in your book. I thought you need to give. ” Nitu was a little unprepared and took the note in his hand. I said, "I read the letter. A young man named Rudra writes about his boundless love

Gone. "

Nitu remained silent for a while, then asked to come inside. I was given tea as usual. Payes in a glass bowl. I sipped my tea and said, "Don't worry, I was wrong to read the letter."

Nitu calmed down and looked at me. There is nothing angry in his eyes. I said, "Did the young man fall in love with his girlfriend?" Nitu smiled dirty and said, "Stay with them."

But my nephew wants to know. He said on the platform that his marriage was going on somewhere, so he ran away. Rudra wants to know if there is any connection behind his escape.

At this stage of the conversation, Shihab stopped Hasan and wanted to know what was written in the letter.

Hassan said, “Handwritten letter. At the end of the letter Tarapada Roy

Not cutting. I blinked and looked, you

You are standing wearing a sari. Chase me

He said, "I have come to surprise you."

I said, "What's so significant about a goat's head?" The last three years

I have been bringing cakes since this morning

You're saying - this is my birthday boy, where's my letter? "

You said, “But this time there is another surprise.

Give me your letter first. "

I pulled the letter out from under the pillow. You said with a box wrapped in a packet, "Get up early and get fresh."

I opened the box and my eyes went up to my forehead. I said, "Turban?"

A bright copper turban. Off-white Sherwani.

You said, "Today is your wedding."

"My marriage but I do not know?" "Is there any more surprise if you know?"

I got out of bed and took the turban and said,

"It simply came to our notice then

I don't think so. "

You started laughing. Your smile is more mysterious than Mona Lisa's smile. It took Leonardo twelve years to understand Mona Lisa's smile. It must have taken him fifty years to understand your smile.

I will not make the letter bigger. In the midst of the stars in the sky, just as we merge our own stars with other stars, we have lost you in the blink of an eye for a moment!

I know why sometimes I want to know, what will happen between us if we meet again after a long time or if we do not meet! Like the poem of Tarapada Roy.

Then maybe one day it will be known

Or maybe not know, that

Mine with you

Or;

Yours with me

Will not meet again.

Yes,

Rudra

Shihab was a little worried and said, "You went to return this letter to Nitu. So what if you take it out of the fold of the book? ”

Hassan said, "You must have forgotten that I was married to Nitu."

Shihab wants to know, "Where is he now?"

"It simply came to our notice then. I was trying to understand exactly where Nitu was standing. I said, “I have a great one

Being curious. ” Nitu said, "What?"

"What was in that part of the letter that was not written?"

Nitu is surprised and says, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, you arrived at ten o'clock that morning on the birthday of a gentleman named Rudra. He woke up and saw his girlfriend with a turban and sherwani and said, we will get married today. Then what? "Nitu pushed the bowl forward and said," Take the payes. With date molasses

Made. "I began to eat the pies. I said," You have difficulty speaking

If so, stay. "

Nitu said, "I really came out of the house that day, that today I will marry this crazy boy named Rudra. I went to Rudra's house without telling anyone."

I have visited Rudra's house many times before. Rudra rents an attic alone. His parents live in Rajshahi. Wherever Rudra is, the door lock is such that it can be opened by pulling from outside. This G-Nista he taught me one day. I went in and saw him sleeping with a blanket. I woke up and said, "Where is my letter?"

Rudra took out the letter from under the pillow with eyes full of sleep and wonder. Then, wearing a turban on his head, he stood in front of the mirror and waved his hand, saying, "What a Mughal emperor he looks like."

I said, "Everything we do today is fine. First we will cut a cake. Ordered. After a while a delivery man will come and go. We will go out to Magbazar to celebrate our birthday. Kazi office is there. Leonardo Cohen's song will play in the car on the way. "

Rudra asks three questions in one sentence without taking his eyes off the mirror. Why Leonardo Cohen's song? Where is the witness? Uncle Aunty knows something?

"Witnesses have been made."

Rudra looked great with a bushy beard and sherwani. I said, "Suddenly, when I heard about the marriage, I thought I would see you startled, but it didn't happen."

Rudra said, "Disappointed?"

"Hmm."

"Read the letter."

I was sitting with Rudra's letter in my hand. There is a joy in not reading the letter. Do you know where all the happiness of the world ends one day? When people have no hope.

Shihab is listening to Hasan with fascination. How can a dry leaf of a tree fall, how an egg can become frugal, buy a toy car for her child, why can't an old eunuch be seen in the city streets? Does a sparrow dream? What is it? It is very nice to have these high class discussions with Hasan.

A chari in Hasan's story. Another character began to emerge from. His wife, Nitu, passed away two years ago. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. At this stage of the story another character named Rudra appears. Rudra's rise came from a note left in the fold of the poet Shelley's book. From the source of that letter, this character began to match the stalks. At first it seemed that Hasan's main story might not have much in common with this character. But at one stage it became clear that Rudra was like a hyacinth flower in Hasan's life. Which blooms at night and falls in the morning. If the poet Shelley's book is a hyacinth flower, then the note inside the book is the fall of that flower.

Hasan was in Khulna for a week earning a service office. I have met Nitu several times this week. One day they went for a walk on the river bank away from the city.

Hassan said, "Have you ever been here before?"

"It simply came to our notice then. But this river seems personal to me. Jibanananda Das has written about this muddy water of Rupsa in his poem.

"Maybe you will see a handsome flying in the evening wind; maybe you will hear a laxative calling to the branches of Shimul; - "

They talked about small relevant issues. The way one moment drags on to another moment. This muddy water would not have come into the Rupsha river, unless one day it would have landed at the wrong station. It is necessary to tell where Rudra's relationship with the meeting of the two at that wrong station came to be in this story.

It was eleven o'clock at night. Nitu is sitting at the counter of a bus station. Go to the counter and find out that no seat is vacant. He is going to Cox's Bazar. Where to go from there will be decided by going there.

He has enough reason not to go back home, the biggest reason is that he is out of breath in this house. As the night progressed, the crowd at the counter began to dwindle and, as usual, a stranger approached him.

Nitu comes out of the counter. A passenger tent in front. Two cups of tea. Different people are wandering around in different ways.

Nitu is a little scared. He had never been out of the house so late at night. He did, however, leave a letter on the table. A five-word letter addressed to Dad, 'Don't try to find me. The man has come this far. A Punjabi in the passenger camp

The dressed old man occupies half the space and sits cross-legged.

A young man was sitting next to him, smoking a cigarette.

Nitu went to the boy and asked, "Will there be a lighter?" The boy took the lighter out of his pocket.

“Cigarettes? Cigarettes? ”

The boy got up and left without answering.

Little by little Nitu's mind started to get better. He has mastered this knowledge from his father. If someone comes to tease then fear has to be overcome with fear.

After a while the boy appeared with a cigarette. Nitu cigarettes

Jwaliye said, "Do you know when I will get the bus to Cox's Bazar?"

"I don't know."

"I know. No more buses will leave before morning. ”

"Then why are you asking me?"

"An ugly man has been following me for a long time. So I asked you for a cigarette. The man will now think we are already acquainted. "

The boy stared in surprise. Nitu said, "Look at how the man is looking. Let's do one thing. We both look at him together. "

"Then?"

"We will follow him."

"What kind of game is this?"

"The name of this game is to overcome fear by showing fear. Do you know what to do if someone hurts you? ”

"What?"

"Break him too." Nitu frowned and looked at the man. The boy is fascinated and listens to Nitu. That one in his hand

The cigarette is burning, he doesn't notice this. "What's the matter, why aren't you doing what I told you?"

"What shall I do?"

“You will break it. You'll break that guy with me. Well ... what's your name? "

Nehat

The story

Decision

Will say

This

Emta

Sometimes.

Before

In the letter

"Rudra."

They are both staring at the man. The man retreated and took a rickshaw.

Nitu said, "Let's go, we don't have a rickshaw either." Shops nearby. It was twelve o'clock at night. A huge one

They are walking with shaped suitcases.

Rudra said, "Where are you going?"

"I don't know."

"What a terrible thing!"

“Why? Do you have to go somewhere when you go out on the street? ”

"Stay on the street with this suitcase all night?"

"Yeah, so where else can I go at night?"

Taking a break, Nitu said, “Give me your mobile. My phone is off. ”

Rudra took the phone out of his pocket. Nitu dials the memorized number and says, "Hello Tisha .... **

The combination of neon light and headlight has a great chemistry. With spherical puzzle-like roads.

In the dim light, Rudra looks at Nitu for the first time. Eyebrows raised like a bow, what a drug-mixed hypnosis in the look of the eyes. Skin color is green. Yellowish yellow.

"I need something to eat right now. Where can I get food so late at night?"

Said Nitu. "It simply came to our notice then. In front of Mohammadpur bus stand. You'll get Tehri all night. "

"Let's eat Tehri."

Rudra is calling for a CNG. At that time the man wrapped in a sheet came and appeared.

"Will it be lighter?"

“Be careful not to give lighters. He followed me from the counter. "The man said," Why should I follow you? " Without further ado, Rudra tells Nitu to get on the CNG

He approached and said with a lighter, "Take this."

The man came back a little with a lighter and lowered his voice and said, "Where are you going?"

"Why should I tell you where I'm going?"

"Look at me, look at me."

As a human being, Rudra is a little timid. So she can't give this guy a break. Nitu is calling Rudra from CNG. Rudra sat next to Nitu without returning the lighter.

At one o'clock in the morning at Mohammadpur bus stand, they both sat down to eat Tehri.

Rudra said, "Where are you going?"

“Nowhere. Where else can I go at night? ” "Stay out all night?"

"It simply came to our notice then. I have never been out at night before. ”

“I didn't see anything good coming out. A strange man wandering around

Is doing. "

They started walking along the main road. Rudra asks, "Why are you going to Cox's Bazar?"

"I'll see the sea."

"Going to Cox's Bazar alone to see the sea?" "I am not going anywhere alone to see the sea. I am alone so at sea

I'm going. "

"But you are very strange.

Nitu said, "It is better to have tea somewhere."

“You will get it soon. Shall I take a rickshaw? ” Dark night. A little fog. Winter just started to fall. Inside, a phone call came to Rudra's mobile.

"Hello, who's saying?"

Who do you want? ”

- A call came from this number a while ago. I'm her little one

Sister, Tisha. ”

That's fine. "

Is Nitu Apu with you? "

"Yes?"

But Nitu handed over the phone. "Who is the boy?"

"Rudra. Identity today.

"So many nights you go out with a suitcase with a boy, and so on

Identity today? "Dark road covered in fog. A police car approached them

He signaled to come forward with the light of torch light on his face.

Get out of the car and ask a policeman to drop a drink

He said, "Where to go?"

Rudra replied, "Asad Gate."

Nitru is talking on the phone, "Don't worry about me." The policeman who asked asked looked at Nitu.

Maybe he's waiting, then he'll ask when he's finished talking on the phone. Without cutting the phone line, Nitu looked at the police officer and asked, “Say something?

The police are waking up with a loud noise. Tisha is saying from the side of the mobile, “Apu any problem? Why the police? "

No problem. I'll call later. "

Meanwhile, two more people got out of the police car. One of them is urinating on a dark drain on the other side of the road. The police officer who took Wakitki in his hand dropped the drink in the second round

Aiming at Nitu, he asked, “Where to go.

Of timid nature. His head is not working. Now to the room.

"So many nights at the Asad Gate to have tea with suitcases

Nitu replied, "What's the connection between drinking tea and a suitcase?" "I'm asking him questions. Let him answer."

"Where are you from?"

"Eat Tehri." Ru replied.

"Mohammadpur to eat Tehri at 2:20 pm, Gate to come for tea, suitcase in hand again." Nitu said, "Where is the problem in the suitcase?" "Someone must come out with a suitcase at half past two to eat Tehri."

"Suitcase because I missed the bus. My Cox's Bazar in the morning

Live. "

"And you?"

At that time Rudra's phone rang. Tisha said to receive,

"Is Apu still with you?"

"Yes, with me."

"Why the sound of walkie-talkies?"

"Chu Lish is interrogating."

At the brother level, the police officer looked at Rudra.

"Police"

* Did you know her before? "

"No. Identify today, at the counter."

"Then why is he with you so late at night?" Everyone at home is thinking. "" I can't say that.

"You already know him

"I told you, no." "Since when do you know?"

"Well, I'll talk to you later. I'm in a little trouble. " As soon as Rudra put down the phone, the police officer asked, “Identity at the counter

You mean, like, saltines and their ilk, eh? I don't understand. "

Nitu said in an annoyed tone, "I told you, I missed the bus. That's where I met him.

"After being introduced there, did you come to Mohammadpur to eat Tehri?" "Problems eating tehri when you are hungry at night?"

After urinating, the policeman started searching his suitcase. Then he said, "Why are you going to Cox's Bazar?"

At that time Rudra's phone rang again. From the side of the phone

Another voice.

"Hello, I'm Nitu's mother."

"Yes, Auntie said."

"Who are you?"

"I am Rudra."

"Where is Nitu with you now?"

Rudra handed the phone to Nitu. Nitu is talking with restless excitement, "Mom is in a little trouble now. I'll call you later." "I heard you were caught by the police, who are you with? Where?"

Nitu left the phone. This aspect of the police officer is remarkable. While talking on the phone, he postponed his interrogation. Then he started again from where he had stopped, "Why are you going to Cox's Bazar alone?"

“To see the sea.

"Escape from home?"

Nitu thought, why run away? He has written a letter. He called Tisha again and told her not to worry. He replied, "No, I did not run away." "

The police officer took another blow and said, “There is a lack of consistency in your words. You have to come to the police station. "Nitu said," Where is the inconsistency, please tell me? "

"You said you met this young man at the counter tonight. But already you get a call on his mobile. Which means it's about to be the most delusional time of the year, as well.

"Look, my mobile is off. So, I call home from her number. She's calling me because she can't call me."

"Get in the car."

"Why?" Let's get Assad down the gate. "

At three o'clock in the morning, in front of the Asad Gate, Rudra asks, "Yours

Name reserved

“How do you know?

"Tisha said."

Oh well, my little sister.

Your mother also called. Talk to you soon? ”

Not now. "

"Why are you going to sea alone?"

"I'm going to sea alone."

Rudra remained silent. He wants to know why he is alone? But

It cannot be asked.

Outside the winter begins to grow. Rudra seems a little upset

Began to be. The cause of the upset is unclear. "How long will you stay in Cox's Bazar?"

Have you run away from home? ”

"Not exactly."

How long will you travel?

"I have a lot of money," he said.

Bagei Nitu thought, is it right to give this information to a young man known at the counter all of a sudden? But it feels good to say Nitur.

Nitri sipped his tea and said, “I feel like one of them. I went out on the first night of my life and got Tehri. Even the police bamaleta now looks beautiful. Notice one thing?

"It simply came to our notice then. Why would anyone go to Assad Gate to have tea with two of them so late at night? ”

Rudra started laughing. He did not think so.

Nitu said, “Because we have given the same incident from different places. I am sitting here with a cup of tea, I will go to Cox's Bazar in the morning. Then? I don't know. But you are also sitting with another cup of tea. The story is different from your place. An unknown girl came from the front of the counter and said, will it be a pitcher? Then all night with the girl

Wandering around Well, what do you do?

"I work for a private firm."

"Do you have an office in the morning?"

The two of them continue along the main road. Rudra once looked at the sky. How many stars stand as a symbolic question (?). Rudra wants to know why this girl wants to go to sea alone.

Dark, lonely night, only occasionally a car whistles away. A little further on, I saw a decrepit young man on the side of the road, looking up at the sky and smiling with his teeth out. Going to the boy, he asked, “You are smiling alone.

"Are you banned?"

Rudra looks surprised. What a longing in his eyes.

"I'm flying a kite. Look."

Nitu and Rudra both look up at the sky. A moon so big is fixed in the middle of the sky. The boy is pulling the yarn with the scythe in his empty hand, releasing it again. He has no knot in his hand. There are no kites in the sky. Unbeknownst to him, Chad made a kite and played a strange game.

Rudra addressed the boy and said, "Where is your kite?"

He showed the moon with his fingers and started pulling the thread again. At that moment he seemed quite worried. Trembling with anger.

After a while, a security guard came from the ATM booth and said,

** There is a problem with the head. "

Rudra asks, "Are you crazy?"

Nitu is upset when he hears that the boy is crazy. He remembers Jibran's 'crazy' story. In one city all the people walk around wearing masks. When one of them takes off his mask, everyone starts calling him crazy.

Athar Wild has a saying, Man is at least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

He gasped and said, "The kite is falling."

But wanted to bring, "How?"

* Equivalent yarn sharp. Kaita gave. "

The boy pointed to the other side of the road and said, "That's it

The security guard muttered, "Both of them are crazy. He is trying to light a fire in the middle of a frenzy. He lit a fire. He was upset. When the two Unnas talk together."

How is their understanding?

"Why is Osman's thread so sharp?" Said Nitu.

"Manja Banaya has borrowed twine." At a time between midnight and midnight, the two of them

Walking on tired legs. I don't know where he is going.

Neetu said, "Another phone call from home?"

Rudra took out his mobile phone from his pocket and saw that the phone was switched off. Nitu said, "Fix a CNG."

"At the bus station?"

"No, I will go home, Banani." What a kind of feeling no one has anywhere. Rudra in a tired body

I started walking with my suitcase. Nitu said, “My house is out of breath. I think all left

Let's go somewhere. ”

“So how do you survive? You know what? "

"My parents divorced three months ago. But they

Staying together. ”

"Why stay together when divorced?"

"Is it a problem to get a divorce or to stay together?"

"Stay those words."

Rudra stopped a CNG by gesturing. "See how red the sky is?"

Rudra looks at the sky. Is this chircena sky now in adolescence or youth? Or old? The flame of the lamp is waiting before it goes out, realizing that everything has gone out!

Nitu is silent.

"With everything."

"That's not possible."
