Aparna's hands full of mehndi.
Ruffin gave the new phone next to him . Rafin Aparna's groom to be. Owner of huge wealth by doing business at a very young age. The phone is ringing. No one can hear the commotion of the wedding house, only Aparna is watching. Even if he shows an unknown number, who can understand the number? A very familiar number. At least a thousand messages and hundreds of calls have been exchanged in the last three years.
But what does he want? Everything has been done yesterday.
One afternoon two weeks ago,
Aparna waited on the park bench for half an hour. Shahed has not come yet. He is never late, but always waits ahead of time. What happened today? There was no danger? The phone keeps showing switched off. Shahed finally came before dusk. Devastated look. Pick up dirty clothes. Fatigue in eyes and face.
What happened to you?
I went home.
any problem
No, what is the problem? Soma has a baby.
Oh is that so? Aparna asked in a happy voice.
what baby
Oh! I see you are the same breed! What are you asking the child?
What does it mean?
It's easy to say that if it's a girl, you'll do it with my sister.
Damn, does anyone do this in this day and age?
By doing…. How much of life have you seen?
Tell me directly what happened.
They left Soma at the hospital because she had to have a caesarean section.
What is that?
Mother called crying. I left immediately. I bought the money saved which was hospital bill, medicine, food. There was less blood in his body. Two bags of blood had to be given. The doctor said to eat good food. Along with that, expensive medicine will also work. The child is also very sick. The torture started when the baby girl was found out by ultrasound. He was not allowed to eat properly. That's why malnutrition. Thinking about my father and my sister, my sister tolerated it with a closed face. How much trouble... Shahed cried and cried, bending his knees and holding Aparna's hands on his forehead.
Nothing came out of Aparna's throat that day. So wrote a long message on messenger,
Knowing your situation, I have to give this news. My brother has arranged my marriage with his friend. I told my father everything. I asked for time. They do not accept anything. If you explain to them a little... I am willing to wait. Besides, after passing, I will also do some jobs. It will go away somehow. Love is more important than money.
Shahed's answer,
No, you are wrong. If I had a lot of money today, I could keep everyone in the family happy. Besides, what face will I stand in front of your father? What qualifications do I have? forget everything Get married and be happy.
From that day till today, Aparna cried all night. Woke up this morning and decided to start all over again. But deep in the chest that one name keeps ringing.
Ruffin never spoke with a smile. Didn't even show up. Ruffin has called many times and requested. But how can Aparna easily meet the future groom with the storm in her heart?
Aparna is participating in the wedding rituals like a stubborn stone idol. What Shahed wants to say now?
It rings like eleven times.
Aparna's two twin cousins, Jhumur and Nupur, ran from nowhere and took the phone away. Received and did not say what was said.
The ceremony of wearing turmeric went on till midnight. Aparna's body is breaking down due to fatigue. After taking a shower, leaving the AC on the lowest temperature and cooling the room, the phone calls again as soon as I get into bed. He received the hand from the head and said in a sleepy voice, "
Let's talk tomorrow?"
No, I have to talk today. Shahed says in a firm voice.
Called all day. Two little girls played. didn't give you
How to give? Today I was yellow.
Yellow on the body? What is yellow on the body?
This marriage will not happen. break it
This marriage is over. The marriage has fallen off after coming to see me. Now only people show rituals.
what say
What I am saying is true.
You said that day...
Yes, I really did.
But…. I…. I mean, I was so upset about Monday!
i understand
So why did you get married?
The money is needed!
what are you saying
You said that money is more important than love.
am i did i say
hmm
Put the phone down, you are very sleepy. Aparna says hang up the phone, switched off the phone and falls asleep.
After six months of marriage,
everything is fine with Ruffin except for extra busyness. And if you don't work more, how can you get more money? Aparna understands. He has no anger or pride. The needs of the husband are being met with a smile. Ruffin doesn't understand that... But continues to pretend not to understand. Ruffin is a quiet person, married by respecting his parents' choice. He had understood before marriage that Aparna did not like him for whatever reason. Never spoke with a smile. I saw them once at their house, that was the first time they met before marriage. Aparna never met again after that. Since marriage only talks when necessary. Aparna is lying like a stone statue in the night love!
Ruffin believes that one day everything will be fine. He does not know when that one day!
