Two years later,
Aparna has a baby girl on her lap. Raffin is giving time to her daughter by canceling going abroad. Spending almost the whole day in the hospital. Changing the diaper of the girl with untrained hands. No, there is no negligence as a girl. Instead, grandmother made a gold bangle for that hand. Uncle and cousin are filling the house by buying clothes, shoes, toys.
Aparna sees and thinks, everyone loves to put oil on the head. They are so lovingly cared for because they do not lack. If the lack had come, this originality would not have been shown. His stomach burns.
After two and a half years, his responsibility ended. The girl can be well raised by her father. He came out with a small amount of money in a van in a cloth bag. He didn't cry for the girl. He wrote everything in a long letter to Ruffin. Although he does not know whether Shahed has been waiting for him for so long! He does not even know why he is running to Shahed like a madman! How crazy is running! There is no contact, in these years Shahed can get married, love someone, it does not occur to him! Only it seems that going to Shahed will bring back all the peace.
He went to his close friend Minu. Minu could not accept Aparna's decision to leave this house. After much persuasion, Aparna did not agree.
Minu can't support the little girl to be motherless like this. Still the girlfriend has to help. Shahed's news was found by searching all the close friends. He teaches in a college in a district town. That day, Aparna ran. It was afternoon to reach Shahed's district. It was evening to reach the destination after matching the home address.
Look who came.
Hmm, I see.
It's over because I'm watching! Will Latsaheb move? Aparna heard the rumble of a woman's voice. Probably Soma.
The door opened. A very dark-skinned Bengali girl is standing with a baby in her lap. It's also a baby girl!
you I do not know exactly!
I am Aparna. Are there martyrs?
This is…. Are you listening? A lady came to you.
Shahed came forward. This is the martyr! For which the whole four and a half years had been lost. This is the martyr.
Beethi and my college friend Aparna. And this is Beethi, my half-sister.
A lot has happened. Please come in. I didn't really recognize it.
No… ok.
catch me I made tea.
Hey, what's the tea? Will eat at night. See you after so long. come sit sit
Aparna looked at the random drawing, dining space. Shih! When did Shahed become so messy?
what are you looking at
Shahed has become quite fat. And Bauta Karikath! Such a situation would have happened to Aparna.
Here's to you, your home.
What else will you see at home? I can't wash it with one hand. Small child on it. Beethi's helpless comment.
No, I am not taking any blame.
Have tea. Hot papad and taal braa with tea. Aparna does not eat these at untimely times. But the girl has magic in her hands.
Shahed is gulping and laughing and talking about college habijabi. No emotion! Nothing! What strange! But these four years, Aparna has tasted hell on earth. He carried the burden of that love alone.
i'm getting up
eat at night
No, stay today.
ok I'm moving forward. Shahed came forward.
After coming out of the house, Aparna asked, do you not remember anything?
what will happen do you think We were not lucky. Shahed says with a sigh.
How is Soma?
is good After two girls, there is a boy. Mother has an older daughter. And the girl in Beethi's lap is Soma's younger daughter. Beethi has brought. The mother could not handle the two children.
Your wife loves you very much.
I don't want less either.
Are you saying in front of me?
I am saying what is true.
Aparna started running crying. Night bus will reach Dhaka. Shahed came back. He booked a relatively good bus ticket.
When he went to pay for the ticket, he said that he should not pay for nuts and ice cream first. But why are you giving today?
Aparna is trapped. Shaking his head, Shahed said, Go home, your husband, the only girl is sitting looking for the way. Don't hurt them. If our love is true, then we will meet in the next life. Shahed walked slowly after leaving the bus. Why are the eyes getting blurry? The red light behind the bus gradually dimmed and disappeared. How Aparna disappeared from his life.
Why did that stupid girl wake up with a chest wound?
Shahed bought a liter bottle of oil on the way back. Beethi probably finished baking the pita today. Again filled to the brim the emptiness in the chest that Aparna had created.
