The butterfly noticed
Butterfly noticed that Shawkat's left cheek was slightly swollen. He is rubbing his cheek for a while. He seems very worried. When he is more worried, Shawkat pulls his hair. Now the hair of the head is also pulling. The hair has become messy. Is there any reason to be worried? Passport lost. Lost traveler's check wallet? The butterfly is sitting. At the Kathmandu airport, he is watching Shawkat with curiosity. The problem is that he can understand what he is reading. One of the great virtues of a human being is that he does not lose patience in any problem. If too much pulls the hair of the head. Is there any special way to pull the hair? If the tension is high, pull the hair in front of the head. When the tension is low, the hair on the back is pulled. The butterfly did not notice the man in that way. Did not feel the need. Not feeling the need yet.
Shawkat is coming towards the butterfly with a big paper glass. Her eyebrows are wrinkled. Thoughts seem to have increased more.
Don't eat butterfly, eat Pepsi.
Butterfly took the glass. He doesn't want to eat Pepsi - the man is so interested, he doesn't look good playing. The glass needs to touch the lips at least once. Then you have to sit with your hands.
Butterfly said, any problem?
No. Not so much. My suitcase didn't come. They say a Royal Nepal Airlines plane will arrive in an hour. The suitcase is there. I can't see the way without waiting. You probably feel bad for sitting quietly.
Don't feel bad. Your cheeks are swollen. What happened?
Suddenly the toothache started.
More?
Yes more. Go to the hotel and eat painkiller tiller.
I have paracetamol.
The stage of paracetamol has passed. You boss, I'm looking for a hotel. Did you bring anything from the story book? Sit down.
You don't need a story book.
Shawkat is anxiously heading towards Hotel Inquiry. A gentleman from the Bangladesh Embassy was supposed to come to pick him up from the airport. Hotel booking should be done by him. He did not come. No one can be reached even by telephoning the embassy. It's four o'clock. Office hours are over. Hotel reservations may not be a problem. Now is not the tourist season. No one comes to visit Nepal in the rainy season. More important than a hotel - finding a doctor. The toothache has become unbearable. The head is shaking. If you can't find a suitcase on Nepal Airlines, you have to buy everything from readymade shirts and pants to toothpaste and toothbrushes.
The flight of Nepal Airlines was delayed by two hours. There is no suitcase. Shawkat's cheeks are more swollen. It looks like a fever. It started to rain outside. Heavy rain. Are the raindrops so big because of the hilly region?
The gentleman of the embassy is named Sobhan. He has finally arrived. The gentleman messed up the timing of the flight. But the gentleman is a doer. He has booked a hotel in Nagarket. There is nothing to see in Kathmandu. According to the gentleman, the first acquaintance with the Himalayas should be in Nagarket. The gentleman found Shawkat's suitcase at the airport. He confirmed that the suitcase would arrive on the flight of Bangladesh Biman the next day. He also made an appointment with Dentict. The notion that those who work at embassies abroad can do nothing but sleep and shop is probably not true.
The gentleman did not allow Shawkat to buy a shirt and pants. Gasthiramukhe said, the suitcase is coming tomorrow - why spend only dollars? It's a nightmare. Bhabir will lie down like a lungi with a sari patch. I will deliver the suitcase by noon. Pokhara will leave the next day.
Shawkat said, where to go?
Pokhara. There are three beautiful lakes - Fiwa, Begnas and Rupa. The source of the people is the snow-covered water of the Annapurna range. Lokview Hotel next to Fiva Lake. I have a room. AC room, you will like.
Let's go. How?
Go abroad. Take a taxi. You can also go by plane. One way ticket forty nine dollars. Going on a plane is meaningless. If you don't see the scene on both sides of Pokhara, human birth is in vain.
Nothing to see in Kathmandu?
If you want, I will show you the temple plan one day. Tourists from Europe and America take pictures of the temple with great interest. What is the need to come to Nepal to visit the temple? Arrived in Nepal. See the Himalayas. See the Himalayas alive. But 6.
But what?
It is rainy season. Whether you can see the Himalayas or not is up to you. If the sky is not clear, nothing can be seen. If your luck is good, inshallah you will see.
They reached Nagarket around 8 pm. It's still raining. Even if it is not in a bucket, it is dripping. Ankabaka hill road. There is no street light. Deep ravine on one side. Terrible accidents will happen if the steering is not hard. Bastiveja road is also very slippery. Occasionally the car shakes and stops. Young driver Joy Pashupatinathji is starting the car.
Shawkat said, the road is terrible. Titali, are you scared?
Butterfly said, no.
Then you can be given the title of 'Brave Girl'. My toothache went away temporarily due to the fear injury. My idea is that after arriving at the hotel the fear will go away, the toothache will start again.
In that case, it is better to walk around without reaching the hotel.
Shawkat smiled. Titali thought - the man's smile is very beautiful. Hasan Bhai's smile is also beautiful, but Hasan Bhai did not smile so loudly. Titali feels uncomfortable. Comparative thinking why he is doing. What is the comparison?
The car stopped with a big jolt. The driver, Joy Joy Pashupatinathji, clasped his hands together and greeted the steering wheel. Titali said in a frightened voice, what happened? The driver said with a smile, Bahenji a gaya.
Why is it so dark?
Nepali driver understood Bangla sentence. The answer is yes - no electricity. Power failure.
I haven't seen it in the dark for so long - now I can see - a huge two-storey hotel in the south. It stands like a haunted house. If there is no electricity, the charge lights will be on in such a big hotel, the lights will be on - it is completely dark. It is raining like a needle. Titali's body is shaking. It had never rained so cold before. Is the mountain rain so cold? If Rabindranath had known this pattern of rain, he would not have written, "Let's bathe in fresh water."
As soon as Titali stepped into the lobby of the hotel, the electricity went off. All around sparkled. Titali is fascinated by the hotel. The bedrooms are big. Old wooden furniture in the house. The mirror on the desing table is beautiful. He wants to look in the mirror for a while. Hotel mirror. Not usually good. The bathroom is also gleaming.
Butterfly said happily, the hotel is very beautiful.
Shawkat said, the hotel is not very beautiful. Medium type. You look so beautiful because you've never been to a good hotel. Are you hungry
Hmmm.
Then do one thing and eat. Go to the dining hall. If it is late at night, you will not get dinner.
You don't eat
That condition of my teeth! I can't eat anything without water. Moreover, not wanting to eat. It looks like a fever. I will lie down with the sheet wrapped around me.
Am I going to eat alone?
Yes, yes. We have started that strange life. There is no question of cheating - isn't it? Do one thing - wash your hands and face well or take a bath to freshen up. Then go eat. There is no problem to order by looking at the menu. Can't?
I can.
Good.
Shawkat lay down on the bed. The body looks pretty bad. How ugly the body is. Not without stale clothes. There is no way out. It was necessary to buy a set of clothes. After taking a bath in hot water, you can lie on the hotel towel. Not wishing. It seems that the matter will not be fair in front of a young woman. This young woman and his wife are also very amazing. Victorian stories and novels may have unrelated husbands and wives. What is in this age? What the butterfly is doing is from a kind of mental illness. And what he is doing is not an illness? Indulging in the illness of others is also a kind of illness. What he thought was not happening - the butterfly is not getting easier with time. On the contrary, the abnormal relationship seems normal now. At one time it would seem more normal. Being wrong is a big mistake. By mistake small saplings were planted. With the passage of time, those saplings have become mahiruh. This mahiruha can no longer be easily pulled out. The tree has to be cut with a big saw. That saw is the saw of two. One head of the saw will be in his hand and the other head will be in the hand of the butterfly. Will the butterfly hold one head of that saw? I don't think so.
Shawkat's fever is rising. It seems that the antibiotics are not working. Maybe it's cold too - there's a rumbling sound inside my chest. Slight cough. Isn't it pneumonia? Butterflies will get into trouble if they are tied to a big disease. Sick people abroad mean various sufferings. There is no point in putting this girl named Titli in such pain. Who is the girl? No one. A very beautiful girl who lives in a terrifying world. It's not dark. Probably not.
Butterfly?
Hmmm.
Ask for a glass of cold water. Drink water.
Who do I tell? Room service has to be told. Well, give me the telephone - I'm saying. Is your fever high?
It seems so.
Pour water on the head?
No. Why are you sitting Go eat.
The butterfly is gone. Shawkat thought he would see a fever with his hands on the butterfly's body. This politeness is general politeness. Can't this little politeness be expected from the butterfly?
Butterflies do not sleep in new places. He slept very well in Nagarket hotel. Long sleep and very comfortable sleep. I woke up very early in the morning. It is still dark inside the hotel. Shawkat is sleeping wrapped in a sheet. His head moved away from the pillow. Shawkat has this habit in children. There is no pillow under the head. Butterfly once wished to put Shawkat's head on the pillow. Then I thought stay.
He went into the bathroom and washed his hands. Leave the call very carefully. Sick people - do not wake up sleep.
Butterfly opened the door of the room and came to the verandah. From there he went to the hotel garden. She stared in astonishment. He had no preparation for the wonderful scene before him. Himalayas across the horizon. His body was covered with a sheet of ice. The first rays of the morning sun began to shine on that sheet. What a wonderful sight! The butterfly is advancing like a charm. After a while a thick fog covered him. Where is so much fog in the rainy season? Suddenly he thought - isn't it a cloud? Is a cloud full of water embracing him? Of course so. Mr. Sobahan of the embassy said such a thing. Nagarkot is so high that clouds pass over it. Clouds can be caught in the palm of the hand; This is the cloud. The clouds in the sky are going to be touched by hand! The color of the Himalayas is changing in front of the eyes, nature is so beautiful? Butterfly burst into tears. Never seen so beautiful alone. Shawkat has to be brought and shown. I have to wake up. There are chairs and tables in the garden. Hotel guests are sitting in chairs looking out over the Himalayas. A pot of tea in front of them. Butterflies will do the same. The two will sit down and have tea and then all of a sudden they will drown in a huge cloud.
The butterfly put her hand on Shawkat's body and called out in a soft voice - get up. Get up.
Shawkat's eyes met. He is seeing a strange scene - the butterfly is sitting on his body. A hand of the butterfly on his back. Is this a dream come true? Not a dream. The smell of stale flowers is coming from the body of the butterfly. Dreams do not smell.
Get up quickly and wash your hands and face.
Why?
What a beautiful outside! I stood in the clouds for so long.
Really.
Yes, really. Look, I'm touching your body. Why are you lying up?
Shawkat raised his hand and took the butterfly's hand. Butterfly did not move his hand. Shawkat pulled him closer. The butterfly stood still for a few seconds then suddenly let go. He said in a trembling voice, what are you doing opening the door! Shawkat said, stay open.
Butterfly said, you do not have a fever?
No no
Butterfly said, I am very ashamed. Will you leave me for a second?
What will you do in one second?
I will close the door.
No need to close the door.
What a surprise the waiters are coming and going through the verandah.
They are highly tend. They will never look inside through the open door of the hotel.
We do not see the Himalayas?
The Himalayas are not fleeing.
I am not running away either. Shh shh you are making me naked. But now I will push you out of bed.
Drop it.
Butterfly could not push. Her body woke up. He embraced Shawkat with deep affection and love. The Himalayas are changing their color due to sun rays. A couple of Ferrari clouds are circling around the hotel. Butterfly's eyes are blurred. It seems to him that a cloud of evil nature has entered their house through an open door. They have drowned in the lake of clouds.
