Hello friends. How are you?What's up? I am going to write about a short story.
The background of my writing is about the dowry system of the present society. Dowry exists among every class of society today. The horrific spread of dowry in the general lower middle class may not be understood without the father of a daughter. I can't change this uncivilized custom of the society. So this is my today's article about this dowry system.
The story name is "Just a zero"
Avik is sitting leaning against the wall. Like a solid rock. The sound of Quran recitation is coming to the ears from all around. The smell of agarbati and camphor is intoxicating the air around. The frozen body of Avik's daughter is wrapped in white cloth in front. The life of his daughter Parir is floating alive in front of Avik's eyes.
This is 22 years ago, Nishi suddenly got a lot of labor pains at night. Avik rushed Nishi to the hospital. The doctor took her to OT for a quick operation.
Parirঃ was born
The total cost of the hospital is thirty thousand! Money is nothing! The value of birth is not low!
The little girl has just given up her mother's milk
Babyfood prices skyrocket! New clothes on him ... nappy ... how much! All in all, at least one thousand five hundred rupees a month!
Pari learned to walk at that time
Learning to walk broke all the things in the house! See if his sneezing smile after breaking! The upper teeth have two teeth! When he bites again!
I want a doll
God bless you! A doll costs almost that much money ...! It will end in two hours! It's a waste of simple words! What to do is a waste of about two thousand rupees a month.
Pari was admitted to the school
Uniforms, books, books, school salaries in a month, all in all, it will be about six thousand.
I want another tutor
If you want to get good results, you have to read well. I want a teacher for all subjects. The minimum salary of one person is three thousand rupees! Sixteen thousand a month in all!
Parir saje ghatah
Sundari's hobby is to bring sixteen. I want her latest fashion clothes. Cream lipstick, facial — how messy! This product is smelling, that product is smearing!
For this you have to pay around five thousand rupees per month.
Parir is the age of marriage
Crazy to see the relationship! Patrapaksha is coming to see the group in groups - and breakfast shraddha! Thousands of rupees just went behind the sweets!
Parir got married
Married in a good pot. Good to see and hear. He is also rich. But he wants six loads of gold and a lot of furniture. Two hundred bridegrooms! You have to eat in the AC center, and you have to have a touch of modernity in the food. Necessarily! ...... Eight lakhs behind food!
Parir's father-in-law's house after marriage
If you get married. First of all everyone has to keep it cool with it. Beyake new clothes, Beyonke jamdani, son-in-law suit ......!
Pari is crying
Son-in-law's business is not going well! It will cost ten lakh rupees! What a word of mouth! So much money ...! Avik has given all his savings for the happiness of Parir's life.
Car for the next groom
Eight lakh again to buy a car! You can pay! Impossible! Avik can't give anything. Where to give, Avik has nothing left.
Atrocities on Parir
The girl has blood clots all over her body! The head is broken! No one says how cracked!
Parir's body is lying frozen in the morgue of the hospital. Finally, after paying all the bills of the hospital, Parir's frozen body was found. In all, sixty thousand rupees went to the hospital.
Finally the corpse ...
Shrouds, and a little last-minute equipment! —This is a cost savings!
Isn't this an expression of the polite humanity of a gentleman or a modern expression of the old dowry system?
The sum of all the calculations of Avik's life so far ---
...... just a zero!
(Note: The calculation of money is meant as a metaphor for the hardships of Avik's life.)
