The crimson sun of the late afternoon twilight set in the western sky quite a while ago. So now the light of day is slowly consuming the pitch-black darkness of night. All around is quiet. Only the relentless cries of the peacocks can be heard from the pond. After a couple of hours of rain, the rain has subsided but the cold wind is still blowing. Ignoring this cold wind and rain, Chairman Samad Mia came to Runa's house. He succumbed to his son's insistence again.
Meanwhile, Ashraf Saheb got annoyed when he saw the chairman at home. However, he did not understand the annoyance and asked with a smile on his face,
- "What's the matter, Mr. Chairman, that you suddenly came to my house?"
- "Can't I come, Master?"
- "You can do it a hundred times. But what is the reason, sir?"
Mr. Chairman sat comfortably in a chair in the room. Then he took a cup of drink out of his pocket and put a made drink in his mouth. Then he chewed the drink and said,
- "Do you want to be related?"
- "I don't understand what you're saying."
- "I don't understand, Master. We want to come and see Runa tomorrow. That's all I have to say."
Hearing the chairman's words, the sky seemed to fall on Ashraf's head. He can't believe his ears. The girl who is thinking of sending her away from the danger has come to her house by herself. He said in a very loud voice,
- "What are you talking about, Mr. Chairman? This is not possible."
Mr. Chairman was silent for a while and said,
- "I don't want to hear whether it will be possible or not. This is the last thing we want to see Runa tomorrow. And let's see if we can have a good day in four days."
- "But .......
Mr. Ashraf stopped and the chairman started saying again,
- "You see, Master, you know I'm not a good person. I don't like to say the same thing twice. Don't force me to be bad. So let go of whatever is happening. Your daughter will be happy for the rest of her life."
Saying these words, the chairman, Samad Mia, got up from his chair. He came out of the house and saw the situation outside. The condition of the sky is not very good. Sometimes it may rain heavily. So he hurriedly said goodbye to Mr. Ashraf and left for home with an umbrella in his hand. It has been raining since the afternoon and there is a lot of mud on the road. He walked cautiously in the light of the torchlight and started cursing the boy in his mind.
Meanwhile, in the evening, the atmosphere at home is thumping. Mr. Ashraf is sitting on the bed with a serious face. Where is his wife Anwara Begum next to him, but the sight is on her husband's face? Although he does not know the incident completely, he can guess something. At one point, after a long silence, Anwara Begum said,
- "How can I understand if I don't tell you what happened? And why did that bastard chairman come to our house?"
Mr. Ashraf listened to his wife and looked at her face. Anwara Begum began to think about her thoughts. Maybe Ardhangini understands him so much. Then he sighed and said,
- "Tomorrow I will come to see Mr. Amago Runa, the chairman.
Anwara Begum was surprised to hear her husband's words. Then he said angrily,
- "It's so easy. You can't say anything?"
- "I said but he didn't talk to me and threatened me. You know how deadly the man is."
- "So what do I do now?"
- "That's what I'm thinking, Runa's mother."
- "Think about what you can do. I will say one thing but I will not marry such a boy with my daughter."
- "I won't let this happen to him. That's why I'm wondering what to do. I have to do something so that our Runa is not harmed."
- "You're right."
- "When did I say wrong again?"
- "I don't want to be praised so much."
Saying this, he went to call Runa and her sisters. Mr. Ashraf and his wife followed the girls into the room.
The night was then midnight. Runa lying on the bed intoxicated with various thoughts. The words that my father said a while ago are still running through his head. As well as feeling very angry with Nehal. He has to go through as much trouble for the boy. The same father is thinking of sending her away and on the other hand, he forbade Runa to go to college tomorrow. If he wants to continue the way he is doing now, then he will send Runa to Dhaka. Runa has kept in mind that she will tell Nehal some tough things tomorrow. Thinking about all this, Runa herself did not understand when she fell asleep.
Runar woke up in the morning at the touch of the golden sun. He looked back and saw that Zara had got up a long time ago. Son hurriedly got up and became fresh. As soon as Runa left the house, Anwara Begum said,
- "Are you upset, mother?"
- "No mother. Why should I be upset?"
- "Even if you don't say so, I understand. Don't worry, your father will stop this marriage by saying something or other."
- "I know mom."
- "Now don't get upset and eat whatever you want."
- "Okay mom."
Although the chairman was supposed to arrive in the morning, they arrived in the afternoon. To see his wife Jaytun Begum and son Nehal El Runa with the chairman. Although the chairman wanted to bring a village elder with him, due to Nihal's insistence, it did not happen. Nehal is wearing blue Punjabi today. He has a black watch in his hand. In a word, Nehal looks great today. On the other hand, Runa has also been taught red sari. Runa didn't make such a fuss. Only light kajal on the eyes and long thick hair is braided. That's why Runa looks amazing.
Once Runa's call came from the next room. Runa stepped forward slowly. Runa entered the room and greeted everyone first. Hearing Runa's voice, Nehal raised his face and looked at Runa. Seeing Runa's Kajal black eyes, Nehal stared at her with fascinated eyes. Seeing Runa standing, Nihal's mother said,
- "Why are you standing there? Come and sit next to us."
Runa slowly went and sat in front of them. After the meeting ended, the chairman saw a good day between the four of them and arranged their marriage. Nehal then said,
- "You finish the rest of the discussion. I'll talk to Runa for a while. I need to know her permission too."
The chairman was surprised to hear the boy's words and said to himself,
- "It seems that Runa will not do it and will break up the marriage by dancing and dancing. As far as I know, my son, even if the girl does not agree, I will take her by force and marry her. And she is going to get permission."
Nihal came to the edge of their pond with Runa with everyone's permission. For now, there is no one on the bank of the pond except Runa and Nehal. Both have their eyes on the front. Suddenly Nehal said uneasily,
"Listen, Kajal is an eye girl
My faith is cut short
Looking into your eyes. "
-collected
Runa looked at Nehal in shock when she heard Nehal's words. Nehal stood face to face with Runa and said,
- "Are you ready to be my friend?"
Runa said nothing and went to her room. Nihal said loudly,
- "If not today, but how will Shyamalata escape from me after marriage? But I will wait for your answer."
Without saying anything, Runa closed the door of her room and sat quietly. Runa does not have the answer to Nehal's question at the moment. He doesn't even know what will happen to Runa tomorrow. I wonder if he will be right to cheat Nihal?
It will continue
