Part -02
So far, the flute player has never asked Rasik to help him in his weaving. He took all the hard work on his neck. It was nice to see him entertaining people with all kinds of bad things. Rosik thought, ‘Who knows how grandpa is doing this one weaving job every day. If I were you, I would die. 'His grandfather used to be very strict about himself, in which he knew his grandfather to be stingy. Rasik had enough shame in his mind about his grandfather. From infancy he knew himself to be a different class of people from his grandfather in all respects. His grandfather has indulged in this idea.
At such a time, when the flute player was eager to bring Rasik's bride by giving up hope of his own marriage, the flute player's mind did not want to be patient anymore. The delay of each month began to feel unbearable to him. The music is playing, the lights are on, the bride is getting married in a dress, this picture of joy is just awake in the flute's mind like a mirage in the face of thirst.
Yet money does not want to land fast enough. The more you try, the more success you feel; Especially with the will of the mind, the body does not want to move at the same speed, it breaks down again and again. The level of exertion has made the body go beyond energy.
How many nights have passed when all the villages are dormant, only a herd of foxes is roaring like a night watchman, and the flute is working on the flickering lamp. He had no one at home to forbid him. In this regard, the flute has deprived itself of adequate nutritious food. Gai's winter clothes are dilapidated, he secretly brings winter through the openings of various holes. Every winter for the last two years, Banshi thinks, 'Run this time somehow, and save some money, next year when Kabuliwala comes to the village with the burden of his winter clothes, I will buy a cloth and pay for it in the next year, till then the fund will be full. 'The year did not come conveniently. In the meantime, his body became unbearable.
After all this time, the flute player said to his brother, "I can't work alone. You join me." Rosik crouched down without answering. The flute was in a bad mood because of the disease of the body, he rebuked Rasik; He said, "If you leave the business of your parents and go around day and night, what will be your condition?"
The word is not inconsistent and cannot be called harsh. But Rasik felt that he had never endured such a great injustice in his life. He didn't eat anything big at home that day; He sat down to catch fish with his rod in his hand. In the middle of winter, the stork is dancing on the quiet, broken high hill, the dove is calling in the back mango orchard, and an insect is sitting on the seaweed by the water, with its two transparent long wings fluttering in the sun. It was said that Rasik would teach Gopal a stick game today আজ Gopal, seeing no immediate possibility of him, began to shake Rasik restlessly with the fishing worms in the clown — Rasik slapped him on the cheek. When Saurabh was waiting on the grass beside the ghat for Rasik to ask him for a drink, Rasik suddenly said to him, "Sairi, I am very hungry, can you bring me some food?" Saurabh was happy and hurried out of the house with a blanket. Rosik did not even approach his grandfather that day.
The flute's body was upset, at night he dreamed of his father. Waking up from the dream, his mind became more crippled. He must have felt that his father would not be able to sleep in the hereafter for fear of extinction.
The next day, the flute forced Rasik to work. Because it is not a matter of personal happiness or sorrow, it is a duty towards that family. Rasik sat down to work, but it did not help him; His hand no longer moves, the thread is torn step by step, he spends his time picking the thread. The flute player thought that this was happening because he did not have a good habit, and after a while his hands would get better.
But Rasik's hands did not want to be strong because he did not need to be strong. Especially when his loyalists came looking for him and saw that he was engaged in the eternal business of their fathers and grandfathers like a very good man, Rasik became very ashamed and angry.
Dada informed him through the mouth of one of his friends that Rasik's marriage with Saurabh was being arranged. The flute thought that this good news would surely soften Rasik's mind. But no such result was seen. 'Grandpa thought that if I married Saurabh, I would be saved?' Suddenly his attitude towards Saurabh changed to such an extent that he would not dare to come to her at the end of the poor area পান seeing all sorts of things. Began to get. He was deprived of the privilege of playing the harmonium more than any other girl — after that he was not always in charge of playing the fiefermash. Suddenly life seemed empty and the world seemed empty to him.
So far, Rasik has taken possession of all the villages of Banabadar, Rathtala, Radhanath's temple, river, ferry, beel, dighi, Kamarpara, Chhutarpara, Hatbazar in this village in various ways for your pleasure and need. Everywhere he went, he had a place to hang out, whenever he was happy, or when he was alone, or when he was in a group. He never thought that any part of the world other than this village and the house of the gods of Thanagarh was necessary for his livelihood. Today, his mind is no longer in this village. His heart began to pound for a long distance. His leisure was enough - the flute did not make him work for long. But after working for a while, it was as if all his leisure was gone; He did not like to use such a fragmented leisure.
