Zarina gave two whole potatoes to the rice. The potatoes will be boiled from the rice. By that time, the dried chillies were burnt at 4 o'clock, with a pinch of salt and an onion paste, 3/4 drop of mustard oil-diameter was made. When the rice starch was gone, he chopped the two potatoes very well with the chilli paste. Both of them sat down to eat with great interest. Seeing them eating, Zarina's mind was filled with satisfaction. After eating, Zarina sat down to eat as much rice as there was under the pan. Then she poured water with it and ate pantatuku satisfied with two dried chillies and a little onion. Aluvarta was no longer on his forehead. After returning home at the end of the day, the tired body no longer wants to work. The whole day is spent on hard work. He has to work in one or two napuro five houses to feed his stomach. Polapans are able to put food in their mouths today. There is no such thing as education. Education is for the rich. What will they do with education? She came to Dhaka city a year ago holding her husband's hand carrying only two children from the village. Then days, months and years passed. The girl is able to feed the two. But a year ago he did not have this condition.
He came to Dhaka from a village in a dilapidated body and took a place in the house of a relative of a village. Then the income gradually increased. At one time they rented a separate house. But less than a year later, Zarina's husband, Joan Mard, suddenly fell ill due to high blood pressure in his head. He could not be taken to the hospital on time and was beaten. Without just looking. But Zarina turned to look at the children's faces. Hatred, disgust and arrogance towards life made him hard and struggling. Anyway, he has to save his two children. The fight continued with new hope. Zarina will not accept the rate at all.
Pantatuku finished eating at once. After a lot of hard work, this one panta panta makes him strong. It gives him strength to work. After working in five houses, the body no longer has the strength to cook at home. Sometimes in a house, rice, pulses and jute are mixed with potatoes, onion or a piece of fish given by Khalamma. Zarina does not eat the rice, pulses, curry and brings it home with absolute affection for Sion and Sumi. Can't imagine eating anything without them.
Today the boy came to see the girl in the front house. Zarina has had to do a lot of extra work. The girl's father has made a huge arrangement just to come to see the girl. Elahi Kandkarkhana is in the house of the rich. They can ruin so much food. He spent the days eating chilli paste. Tears rolled down his cheeks at the thought. Now Allah wants to face him. Polapine is able to eat a little good evil. The wedding rooster is also on his forehead today. Zarina took the food allotted for her in a sanki and wrapped it well with the hem of her sari. Then she left for home.
Today is a very happy day for both the children. Their contented faces flashed before their eyes. When he came home, he saw that the girl had fallen asleep without eating. The boy was sitting and crying, hungry. He quickly raised the dishes and gave them to the children to eat. Seeing Polao, where did Sion's tears escape. Sumi, mother, get up. See what I am bringing for you. Eat quickly. Polao hugged her mother happily. After many days, I got such good food today. Polao Tukun divided the two children. The food allotted for one is what remains after two meals. There is no problem in Zarina way. I will have to take two handfuls of rice. I don't feel bad eating rice. My stomach is full. I just have to drink a little more water to fill the rest. I have to go to bed in the morning. Zarina doesn't know what the two boys and girls eat all day. Who pays them ten rupees for food. Sometimes the mind becomes rebellious. Thinking that he can't take proper care of his son and daughter. Then he feels comforted again. Will cook there himself. He will make tea again. The girl will help him. The boy will not go any less. He will pass the plate to the glass. Zarina fell asleep dreaming of becoming self-reliant in the future.
The next morning he ate two pantas and went to work. He left some panta for his son and daughter with Dhaka. Today the work pressure is very high. I have to go to work early. He returned home in the afternoon. I feel a little worried. This morning they could not go with any money. He had a little money in the area to eat and drink. So he went to work. Who knows what they ate at noon. Zarina let out a sigh. Boys and girls don't want anything from him. They are very happy only if they can eat something good. They have become so soft-natured, just like their father.
As I approached, my chest throbbed. What happened? Why are there so many people? Why are everyone crying so much? The smell of smoke all around. The closer he got, the more he was suffocating. Where are his Sion and Sumi in the crowd of so many people? Pushing the crowd forward, he started calling their names. All the houses have been burnt to ashes by the flames of Lelihan. It is still burning somewhere. Zarina started calling the two children like crazy. Sumi responded to her call and ran to her mother. She was holding Sion's hand. Let them see that they are alive. She hugged the children to her chest and started crying loudly. The only thing left for her to survive was the last memory left by her husband. She broke down and burst into tears. Suddenly he remembered the fifteen thousand rupees he had secretly stored. Last. The money stored inside the house and the bamboo poles is gone. The ashes have been gone for so long. At the same time, the dream of his future rice hotel has become ashes. The dream of becoming self-reliant. Still, Zarina dreams of turning around again, holding her two children in her arms with absolute compassion and love. He has to live more than the face of the children. His children are looking at his face. Zarina will have to live by adopting this dream only by tying her to Maya. The rain water is becoming monotonous with the tears flowing. Zarina shook her head and stood up. All her previous dreams have been shattered. But do not let this dream be shattered at all.
