Life of Charulata

At home today is a little busier than the other day. The only daughter-in-law is coming. Khaleda has been very busy since morning. Doing humming all the time. With a few exceptions, the working girl is shaking Ranu. "Where is Ranu Ray? How many times have I told you to change the table cloth? Add a little salt to the dal. And lower the beef stove. Taru, fix Charu's house a little."

Samaira is the younger sister of the poet Tarulata, Taru Charu. Now studying in Honors third year, Department of Law, University of Chittagong. Her elder sister Humaira Kabir Charulata. Charu and her husband Rajib Ahmed are coming today with their only daughter Trina, almost a year later. Taru sleeves a little annoyed. Charu does not say coming. He also likes Charu. Dulabhai is also like. Often looking for taro on its own. But still why this mother's care seems extra to him.

Khaleda came to Tarur's house to tell Ranu to clean the house.

- Why haven't you made the bed yet?

- Tidying mom. Give me some time. What you started!

- What started? After so many days, son-in-law is coming home. It will not be seen that there is a lack of care?

- Mother-in-law is coming home. Emperor Akbar is not coming. And not only son-in-law, your eldest daughter and only granddaughter are also coming.

- Shall I not take care of them? And Charu is the daughter of the house. What is his special care again?

- You speak one by one. Tell me once the girl gets married. Tell me again, she is the daughter of the house.

- You're arguing!

- You read the bar, don't you remember?

- I have a problem. Now let's tidy up the house and see if Charu's house has to be tidied up. I can't go alone, Bapu.

Taru made the bed and went into the washroom. Leave the shower and stand for a while. Drops of water began to roll down the folds of her thick hair. This house was very much alive before Charu's marriage! Everyone forgot but Taru did not forget. A boy had trouble with his parents since childhood. It would hurt Charu. Probably a little insulting. When Charu was admitted to Chittagong Veterinary, Taru was barely in class nine. Charu wanted to be self-reliant. Will earn money by doing something by himself. If there is soil under the feet, to do something for the parents, to take the responsibility of studying. These charms were only told to Taruk. Which boy in the class is a poet, which boy wants to fall in love with him, which girl can't see him, which big brother is blocking his way on campus, which stranger writes him a letter from behind - everything is young. Charu's marriage started coming from the second year.

At the shout of the pirates, Taru came out quickly. The memories are probably left under the shower.

Raihan Kabir did not go out anywhere today. He had been sitting on the verandah since morning. It is very difficult to spend time because you are not a good person. Khaleda did not let her out today because her daughter-in-law would come. There was work in the office, he called and said he can't go. But now I think he could have gone. You don't have to sit on the porch of the house like this. Of course the porch is quite large. And very nicely arranged for the welfare of the young. The veranda of the previous house was not so big. But it was good. They lived on the sixth floor of a house in the Hillview residential area next to gate number two. Charu is then in her second year of honors. Taru has just got up in college. Relationships began to come for Charu. Mr. Raihan did not want to marry his daughter so soon. Charu wanted to stand on her own two feet, she knew. Khaleda probably wanted to give the marriage a little bit It seemed to him that such a good pot could not be found every day, it was possible to study even after marriage. Mr. Raihan did not agree at all. But the people of the area were getting angry day by day. One day the house collapsed People from other flats came and persuaded Mr. Raihan, but Mr. Raihan was adamant in his decision that he would not marry his daughter now. He was forced to leave the house.

He was taken home on Nizam Road. Mr. Raihan thought that at least the trouble would be lessened after coming to the new house. But nothing happened. One evening Khaleda came to talk to Mr. Raihan. Mr. Raihan was sitting on the verandah, distracted.

- Your tea.

- I'm taking it.

- Well, what do you think?

- About what?

- About Charu's marriage.

- I'm not thinking of anything. The time to think has not come yet.

- You mean, like, saltines and their ilk, eh? When will the time come?

- Let him finish his studies?

- Are you crazy? Now someone is waiting for graduation to marry the girl?

- What happened?

-Look, the area is not good at all. Even a few months ago, a third year girl was raped and left in front of building number 13. God forbid, if something happens to us?

-What are you talking about, Khaleda?

Khaleda started crying. He is really scared of all this. The girl's life will be ruined even if the matter of showing her face to people is left out. Khaleda did not want that to happen. Mr. Raihan also sat down to think anew. Fear of the girl is not something that he would not have. But I haven't paid much attention to it so far. But now he can't even talk about pirates. He decided to talk to Charu at night.

The car horn was heard below. They have arrived. Mr. Raihan hurried downstairs.
