It was decided Lima would come at 9.00. But she did not. I stood there alone till 12. I felt so hurt that tears almost came out. Girls are too inconsiderate these days. I found a small hand note written “call me on 621523 at evening: Lima” . The telephone must be of her neighbor’s. I have used it for several times before. But why should I have to call her upon on such a day!! Wasn’t it decided after lots of discussion that on today (Monday) at 10.00, we will go to Tangail together ? And there we will get married at haruns house? I laid through the whole afternoon. I did not even touch the meal brought from the restaurant. The childishness of avoiding foods in bad moods is still present in me like my childhood days. “All relations with Lima have been cut off” – while thinking this, I suddenly started to realize I was too trivial and Unimportant .when I came out at the evening to telephone her my leaps were already overflowing with rage . The man from Green Pharmacy asked me with a lot of anxieties “ Is that everything all right vai? I said in a low voice “ I ll make a phone call “ Lima was somewhere close. She had a seven years boy like happy voice that somehow creates a lot of joy in the heart. “ Hellow listen ! I have got a job at the kindergarten. Can you hear me ? There is a lot of disturbance in the telephone line “ I became very astonished hearing such a joyful tone of Lima .I somehow managed to tell her with stammering “ you were supposed to come today…………. “ aha! I have that in my mind. Listen, just postpone the date . We don’t have such an emergency now. And again…….. “ and again what ? “ The condition of your business is very poor .if we marry now then we will have to starve for the half day “ She said a lot of things too in a hurry. I can’t remember those. She smiled for once or two. I realized lima would never marry me again. Last day I bought so many things with her to decorate our house. In spite of being tired she bought those stuffs searching the whole New market. She giggled when the shop man asked her to select the double bed sheet. And just now she has said “ the condition of your business……..” the blow was too strong for me .I had not got the guts otherwise on that day I would have taken poison or jumped from a three storied building .I was born being very sensitive . That year, I fell victim to some more accidents . My 4000 taka was deposited to Irfan . suddenly he died. I booked a salt wagon too in Narayanganj. Those guys also ran away with my money. I got a huge disappointment in the Lappi shoap buniess too. Girls can guess excellently. Perhaps, Lima might have seen my future. Communication with Lima narrowed. I never went to see her from my side. Despite by chance we met very often. May be , we two ,came to Bus stop and waiting for the same bus……as soon as she saw me , said with a soft dear tone “ what a surprise ! is it you!! What have you done to yourself! Haws your business stuffs going? “ “yah running good “ “So sad you are looking so thin .have a cup of tea? Come I will buy u .” One afternoon, again by chance we met in front of a cinema hall. I acted like I never saw her there and went off the pavement but she shouted from my back” hey, hey, have u come her to watch a movie? “ “no” “listen. I have to tell you something” “what? “one of my friend’s sons birthday it is . Please, help me in buying him something? To be executed ( )
