reasons of separation
If Sonia was married once and the marriage broke up within a month, but Sonia was Shohag's first love, why would they live an unhappy married life? Why did their lives fill with the chaos of separation? Shohag-Sonia's love can be called inter-district love. Shohag had to work hard to maintain this love. Their family broke up due to both of them failing to be prudent and sacrifice. After their marriage, they were good, especially in the beginning. Shohag worked and Sonia was a housewife. After Shohag returned from the office, he would see Sonia dressed up and waiting for him. They would go out somewhere. Chittagong, with its mountains and rivers, had no shortage of places to visit. Standing on the Karnaphuli Notun Bridge, a little away from their home, they would look into the distance and watch the countless small and big boats. During the holidays, they would go to the beach. This is how life in Chittagong passed. The problem started when Sonia went to Dhaka for a job. Shohag used to go to Dhaka once a week or once in a fortnight. Dhaka was not from here to there. If he got up in the morning, he would reach in the afternoon. The emotion with which Shohag used to go to Sonia did not take time to fade away. In fact, Sonia wanted a lot from Shohag, which Shohag was not able to fulfill. As a result, Sonia had to live an unhappy life, although Sonia never expressed it out of politeness. Here is another aspect. Another problem started when Shohag started living in Sonia's house. Sonia's brothers were in other rooms of the same unit. Shohag was basically confined to one room. As I said earlier, this problem could have been avoided if she had been prudent. Shohag needed to get a separate house. Since both of them were working, it was not impossible for them to rent a house in Dhaka city. Then the unpleasant break of relationship could be averted.Everything had to be left to destiny.The fact was that her mother was alive also her brothers and sisters.Inially life in Dhaka was not bed.It was Sonia who was behind the his transfer.They had been living a happy life.In the morning Shohag dropped her Infront of her office.In the afternoon when the office hour was over Shohag picked up Sonia from office and returned home.Of and on they visited Sonia'sister's house.Her sister and brother-law were very glad to have them in their house.They had had dinner at Sonia's sister 's house and returned to Lalmatia.In weekend Shohag often went to local market for shopping.He bought vegetable and fish.Hilsa fish was cheap in Dhaka.Sonia cooked the fish and it was During holidays they had visited reservoir near parliament building when session of the parliament was suspended.In second year of their marriage, their first daughter was born.She was not born normally rather there was a break of water and the Doctor decided C-section.As the baby was born in day time through C-section she slept in the day and kept them awake at night.When Shohag was almost stable with his wife and new born baby Esita he had to return to Chittagong again as he was on the payroll of a factory based in Chittagong.New chairperson of the corporation cancelled the payroll and Shohag did not have any alternative but to return to Chittagong.He was settled in chawkbazar and joined in his previous office.Shohag didn't frequently visit Sonia but once in fortnight or in a month.It was very difficult to maintain a family life in Dhaka by visiting from Chittagong.Shohag could not make Sonia happy . She expressed her dissatisfaction to Shohag's Immediate senior later on.Anyway they continued their relationship.When Esita was there years old Sonia received an office order to join a training program at a remote place which was residential but she was allowed to visit her family in Dhaka once in a week.Shohag took one month leave from office and shoulder the responsibility of taking care of Esita..In the morning Shohag took Esita to a zoo. In the afternoon he took a stroll with Esita . Finally Sonia's training was completed and Shohag went back to Chittagong.After six months Shohag again took a transfer to Dhaka and stayed there till the night came when he heard unwanted voices from the outsider mentioning that Sonia went to University to see someone.Shohag spent the night with his family and on following morning he left Dhaka for Chittagong.Later Shohag heard that Sonia visited Shohag's sister's house in Dhaka and asked them whether he had been staying in their house.What Shohag actually did was he went to bus counters and found one bus which left Dhaka at Eleven AM and at night he reached his house in Chittagong, his sanctuary.
The hallucination that Shohag developed in Dhaka,the symptoms persisted even in Chittagong.Oneday Shohag when came back home from office ,he was lying in his bed and was looking at the dining room, suddenly he saw a shapesifter who took the appearance of Mr.Asgar , his colleague and disappeared instantly.Another day at midnight when he was going back to his bed room, he saw a woman leaning against a wardrobe in his parents room.He didn't see the face of the woman.Of and on he slept in his parents room by fixing a mosquito net.At mid night he used to see a little boy entered into his room.This little boy put on a loincloth which was wrapped and tucked against his waist.Although he was a boy he showed his strength and vigor when Shohag tried to touch him .He resisted by his hand.At times he saw little boy of of one metre height wearing helmet on their heads.It was incomprehensible for Shohag how could they enter into the house when all doors were closed.At times he saw Gilman flexing his muscles in his bed room..It was a time of Shohag's illness .One day he felt the tremor of some spirit in his chest.The tremor felt inside the vacuum of his chest.
Shohag heard the spirit was asking,"Why you are punishing my son?"The actor of "X" file David Duchovby replied from the sky,"Father Pope John Paul", "We are not punishing your son". Shohag felt the tremor for few days but he was not sure who was inside his body.He only heard the conversation between the spirit and actor of "X" file .At times he he heard Mongolian warriors,"Uukhai", the sound that they made when they were on the horse back and on the move.They brought their own mechanical transport and landed on the roof of the building just opposite to Shohag's residence.
Later he heard the voices of four persons.Among them there was Nelson Mandela, Indian prime minister IK Gujral and two other voices which weedre indistinct..There were also Indian actress Madhuri Dixit.Prime Minister IK Gujral asked Madhuri often,"Will you marry Shohag Madhuri?".
