Peace
While cleaning the breakfast table in the morning, Nur's mother suddenly played with the solution like lightning in her head. The house has been eating since she married Naba. Nur sees and hears them well. But the boy is of a repressed nature, the way he takes care of the boys is straightforward, it can't be seen or touched. What happens to the boys as the girls go around the house and keep the house drunk? So, he needs a daughter. When a child is born in old age, his caress is different. He will bring such a child by marrying Nur. Noor will be twenty-six in a few days, the last hole of the Masters is two months ago, if there is no job, it will happen any time, there is tuition. Moreover, if cooked for three people, four people can eat effortlessly. What's the point of an extra face?
Work as you think. The phone rang at the girl's house. The little girl is not only his child, but also his girlfriend and mentor. Naba is also excellent as a bridge with Nur when he is flabbergasted by his own son Varikkipana. In his mind, when he was fixing the girl, convincing Nur with Naba, opening the bangle on his hand in the wedding hall and putting it on his wife, Naba picked up the phone, ‘Assalamu Alaikum Ma. How are you? '
‘Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullah. Alhamdulillah, I'm fine mom. How are you? '
‘Alhamdulillah’.
"Are you free this afternoon?"
‘Hmm. Didn't I tell you, your son-in-law may have to go to Chittagong at any time? He left for Chittagong last night. I don't have classes today either. I thought I would come here in the afternoon. I will stay with you at night.
‘Then it’s good. You'd better go a little earlier. Khabi at home at noon.
‘Umm, all right. But you didn't say what you called! '
"I'll tell you when you get home."
Sitting down to eat at noon, Nur's mother kept a watchful eye on Nur's father's plate. Once he finished the rice with the beef, he reached out to the bowl of meat and shouted, ‘Are you taking the meat again? Didn't the doctor tell you to stop eating meat? '
He frowned and pushed the bowl towards the girl, ‘I was going to raise my daughter. The girl has so far chosen only fish thorns. If not now, the girl will get up without eating meat. No mom, you take it yourself, I don't even touch the bowl! '
Without saying a word, Naba picked up two pieces of meat and handed them to his father. Ignoring his mother's last gaze, he said, "Nothing will happen if you eat more than two pieces at a time." Eat at night without meat.
Seeing his wife being defeated by his daughter, Nur's father dared not touch the bowl and handed the boy two pieces of meat with a spoon. Nur's mother said nothing more.
After eating, he was able to announce his decision. Noor's pale cheeks turned red. He got up from the table to wash his hands. Nur's father smiled at his son's embarrassment and took a glass of water in his mouth and smiled. Nur's mother got up and started massaging his back. Look, look for a lucky wife like my wife for my son.
Nur's mother growled in embarrassment, "Remember, in front of the children in old age."
Naba says, ‘Dad, I thought I would talk about marrying my brother. Well, that's what Mom said. I have a wonderful girl in my head. I know you both love him. '
Nur's mother said curiously, "Who are you talking about?"
‘I won’t say it now mom, I know you two will agree. But will the brother agree or not? Let's see, talk to my brother, then I'll tell you. '
‘What will he say? Is he old enough to make a marriage decision? '
Nur’s father said in surprise, ‘Don’t say that! My son is old enough to get married and not old enough to make decisions? The family will have to choose! '
Seeing his mother hesitate, Naba reassures her, ‘Mom, I told you. You both know and like the girl. But I don't know if he will agree. I will talk to her and tell you the name of your daughter. Identity by name. There is no need to say anything else.
In the afternoon Naba entered his brother's room and closed the door. Noor's mother peeked out of the door to listen to what the siblings were talking about and saw her siblings coming out with smiling faces. Such a short talk! Let it be understood that the boy liked the proposal. She looked at the boy with inquisitive eyes. Embarrassed, he lowered his head and sat down on the sofa in the dining room. He went and sat comfortably on the sofa facing each other. He raised his eyebrows at the girl and asked, "So?"
Naba applauded excitedly and said, "Brother agrees!"
‘Alhamdulillah! Who is that girl? '
Naba says, 'Wait, call Dad first'.
‘He ate and slept. I'll tell him when he gets up. But I want to know, who is this mystery girl? '
His immense confidence in his daughter. Although she is young, she has not seen any defect in her daughter till date. But her patience will not last until her husband wakes up to find out who she likes.
The siblings look at each other, Nur's gondola turns red again.
Naba smiles at the winner and utters just one word, ‘Afrin’.
Nur's mother's face suddenly became obscure, "Which Afrin?"
The siblings were ready for ‘Allahu Akbar!’, Ready to clap, ready to be crushed in the arms of a smiling mother, ready to smile, ready for even the slightest hesitation, but not ready for it at all.
Naba replied hesitantly, 'Barafupur Afrin'.
Nur's mother raised her voice and said, "Which Afrin?"
Nur understands his mother's feelings and says very naturally, 'Rashed Vaiyar's widow, Afrin Bhabi'.
Noor's mother angrily got up from the sofa and raised her throat to the seventh and said in the eighth mood, "Will my son marry a married girl for the first time in his life ?!"
The two siblings were shocked to see their mother's statue. But Naba is not the bride to give up. He takes her by the hand and puts her on the sofa, then kneels in front of her and says, 'Mom, since childhood you have always come up with the example of our Afrin,' You try to be like her '. When Barafupu married Afrin to Rashed Vaiyar, you praised Fupur Bhuvasi, saying, ‘She is a majestic woman. He not only raised an orphaned girl, but also married her to his own son. ' When Rashed Bhaiya died in a motorcycle accident three months after the marriage, you said, ‘I understand his pain. When a girl is unmarried, she does not understand loneliness. But once a family is alone, when a girl is alone again, she can't explain loneliness to anyone. ' On top of that, he is in Barafupur's house, wherever he looks around, only the memory of Rashed Vaiya is there, and the poor girl is not even getting a chance to forget her grief! Once you want to bring him to this house for a while, but seeing that there is a brother at home, he is Elona. Think about it, he has been spending the last seven months in excruciating pain! I thought, brother, maybe there is a hobby. He may not agree. But I don't understand your reaction at all. '
Nur's mother was ashamed of her own behavior in her daughter's words. He said to himself, ‘Okay, let him be at hand. We see a few more girls. Then a decision can be made.
Nur said, "Mom, what are the criteria for seeing your daughter?"
‘What are the criteria again? The girl should be of good lineage, religious, polite and sociable, interested in education, and fairly good to see and hear. This is it.
‘Well, in what criteria can Afrin be left out?’
‘Oops,’ he angrily pushed Naba, who was unknowingly sitting on his knees, and stood up, ‘He’s been married once before!’
Nur says in a very normal voice, ‘Mom, don’t get excited. Sit down, listen to me. You are the one who taught us from our childhood about equality, about justice, about doing everything with the thought of pleasing Allah in mind. Today when we want to reflect your teachings in action, you are embarrassed instead of encouraging us. You say a girl has been married once, she has become a widow, so she has lost the right to be happy for the second time in her life! If you want a girl, you can see a thousand mothers, what is the difficulty to see? But when we have a girl we have known as an ideal girl since childhood, one who perfectly suits our family, who needs a shelter, what is the point of looking at a girl outside without her? '
Nur’s mother sighed and sat down on the sofa, ‘I love the girl sincerely. Love so much But a widow for an unmarried boy কি what will people say? '
Naba sits on the sofa next to his mother, puts his hand on her head and says, ‘I understand. This is the real thing. Mom, when the man who gave birth to us left you and my brother disappeared one day, people said a lot. Tell me, how many people extended a helping hand? No one. They only increased the burden of your grief, and were of no use. When your father married an unmarried young man with two children, people said a lot. If my father had listened to them, where would we be today? Even during my wedding, some people commented, ‘Look at the man who is making a fuss at the next girl's wedding! Is the madman holding on to the bamboo? ’But is that what Dad is doing to me? If people can't speak well, can't do well, can't even tolerate someone well, that's their limitation. But if we listen to them and silence the voice of our conscience, then it is our defeat. Who said mother needs to pay so much attention to it? Look at the big brother. He does not know how to give advice to anyone, he does not know how to take advice from anyone, do good deeds like himself. Shouldn't we also give priority to the voice of our conscience over the voice of the people? '
Mother's eyes widened. Nur slowly came forward and gently grabbed Nabar's hand and dragged him to his room. In a world where some things remain unspoken, it is better to stay, the younger ones are more intelligent than the older ones, but often they do not understand these simple things.
After a while, Nur's mother got up from the sofa and slowly stepped towards her room. She entered the room and saw her husband breaking the parade. Seeing him, Nur’s father exclaimed, ‘What good luck to me! I woke up and saw your face! Please don't spoil this mood. I got up immediately and offered Asr prayers. Let me see my beloved's face for a while. '
At other times, Nur's mother used to growl at the sight of her husband. But after all this time, it dawned on him that because of these jokes, his family life of the last twenty years had been cut short by laughter. This man has filled his life with such hilarious exuberance from the day of his marriage till today. Didn't she give her husband a chance to complain or be dissatisfied? Things that have happened a thousand times, but he never made them usila. In fact, habit often makes people blind and intolerant. Nur's mother's heart melted and her heart melted, 'Listen!'
'I'm excited, darling'
‘From now on, if I scold you, you will scold me, how are you?’
Nur’s father looked at him suspiciously and said, ‘Who are you? What have you done to my beloved wife? '
Then he smiled and said, "Why, dear, your quarrel seems like nectar to me!"
Oops, what will Nur's mother do with this guy! He bows his head in gratitude, how can a man be so happy? The man whom God has given so much happiness, what does he do to be stingy to make others happy? How could her children have made such a beautiful decision, but how could she have reacted without her spontaneous support as a mother? Nah, he'll talk to his nuns today. This Nanda has raised her niece's daughter Afrin as her own child, never letting her miss her parents, but today Afrin is burdened with a grief that she can't erase even if she wants to. Nur's mother wants to get Afrin married as soon as possible. Thoughtfully, a few moments ago, tears dripped from his eyes as he regretted his narrowness.
Seeing the tears in his eyes, Nur’s father flinched, ‘Oma! What happened to my beautiful bout?
Who hit, who shouted, who gave the cheek?
Tell me Lakshmisona, throw the beat and beat the rhythm.
Nur's mother laughed at her husband's heart.
Nur’s father Bokasoka smiled and said, ‘Tell me what to do? I couldn't match the meaning properly.
‘Who said it didn’t match? Excellent match! The message is also clear. No worries. Your palm cake is ready. Come to the table, will be served hot. Meanwhile, your children are walking restlessly to tell you the good news. '
‘Oh, Nur has agreed to marry Afrin then!’, Said Nur’s father, holding his mouth with both hands.
‘What does that mean?’, Nur’s mother asked in astonishment, ‘Before Naba told Noor, she told you before telling me!’
Nur's father closed his eyes tightly waiting for a scream. Instead, he heard Nur's mother throwing her arms and legs like a child, saying, 'No, I won't play. Boys and girls are all for you! '
Nur's father was surprised to see his wife in such a soft mood, holding his hand passionately and saying, "Ogo, I am for you!"
