Good to see you again! Yes, you will know more about me in this episode. Before telling more about me, let me introduce my parents. My father is a retired government officer and my mother is a housewife. My father was in the department of police, so was my grandfather. Being in the police department and still leading a life as middle class is a kind of joke now a days! But it was not a joke for our case. An honest police officer like him is rare to find. He struggled throughout his life as my grandfather was also a very simple and honest person in his whole life. Both my grand parents passed away before the marriage of my parents, so we were unlucky not to have them in our life. My father was brought up in the village named lahini in Kushtia district. He had to walk for couple of hours to reach school, sometimes used bicycle to reach there. My grandfather was a retired person before my father passed his college life. His elder brothers didn't support him for his education and thus he had to struggle a lot to earn B.A.degree. Later he joined in police department and gradually climbed one ladder to another. Due to his honesty, he had to suffer a lot and when we were kids, he was even suspended for around one year till he fought the case and got back his position. He is a real fighter and I always salute him for whatever he did for us. He has got big heart and always extends his helping hand if asked for good cause. He is indeed a great father and always tried his best to give us better education and good lessons. One thing regarding my father, he has got pretty bad temper and he gets annoyed very quickly. He is also too emotional a person. My mother and my other siblings including me - we were always in fear of him from our childhood. It has both good and bad impacts. Good impacts were: due to fear, we probably studied more and spent more time in doing good stuffs rather than bad ones. He was also strict in choosing our friends etc. So, all we did till the end of our school life is study, study and study. Bad impacts were: we were dependent on my parents in every aspect, we hardly could express our creativity though there were immense potential within ourselves, we feared to express ourselves and it took long time for me at least to be like how I am now and to be like myself. We were so intimate with our mother but we had a fair distance with our father. With the passage of time, this distance got increased and there is big gap still today. On the other hand, my mother was the person whom we always loved to be with, whom we always could share our thoughts and express ourselves. She is from a modest family and she was (and still is) the perfect life partner for my father. Dealing with a hot tempered and emotional person like my father was possible because it was my mother. She is soft spoken and she can absorb all the sorrows and pains within herself. She was always there preparing our breakfast even if we had classes in the morning, she was always there beside us whenever we got scolded by our father or someone else, she was always there, making tea/coffee/milk/snacks whenever we needed to study till late night, she is the person whom I could always rely on, whom I could tell whatever happened, whom I could get suggestions from, whom I could use to make my father agreed on certain things. She is such a sweetheart. I feel great to get such amazing parents who are always there for me, no matter whatever situation I am in. They are the persons who brought me into this beautiful world, they are the persons who taught me the different between right and wrong, they are the persons who raised me with their soft hands, kept me safe from all the possible dangers, did more than best they could ever do. So lucky I am! (to be continued)
