Fairy drawn in pencil
Mr. Mubarak's voice is heavy and hoarse.
When you say something softly, the tone becomes heavier. Yet he tried to say something softly. We need to think a little at the beginning with the girl. Don't panic when you hear the voice of a young girl. What can be said? Names may be asked. Any conversation can be started by knowing the name.
It's eleven o'clock at night. The girl and he are lying side by side in bed. But he does not know his name. Quite a funny thing. The girl certainly does not know his name. Or do you know? Such girls are very clever on the floor. Namdham may have known everything.
Mr. Mubarak smiled and said, what is your name?
The girl whispered in Rinarin, Tepi.
What's your name?
Tepi. T-acare te, p-kare p-tepee.
Mr. Mubarak said in a deep voice, am I doing nonsense?
Why do nonsense? Asked the name, said the name.
The girl is smiling. Laughing loudly. Mr. Mubarak said in a loud voice, is your name really Tepi?
Hmmm. My older sister's name is Happy. My name is Tepi.
Laughter again. Put a bunch of crystals in the girl's throat? Jhan jhan sound when you smile. Or girls of this age laugh like this!
Mr. Mubarak's idea is that the girl is flirting with him. Puchka is a girl doing nonsense, you can't imagine. How old is the girl? Twenty-one, or less?
We need to make sure that the girl is doing nonsense. How to be sure. Mr. Mubarak does not understand. Anyone can keep the name Tepi in combination with Happy. In a low-class family, no one bothers with the name. Names the first child correctly; Then the enthusiasm is lost.
Are you two sisters
No, three sisters.
What is the name of the third bain?
Pepi.
Mr. Mubarak said in a hushed voice, the name of the third Bain Pepi?
Yes. The names of the sisters have to be matched. Sisters are not seen in heaven without matching names.
How far have you studied?
Class five.
Listening to the conversation, it seems that you have read more than class five and I think you are trying to joke with me.
You're a good person. Why joke with you?
He lit the lamp.
As soon as the lamp was lit, the girl shouted, turn off the lamp, turn off the lamp. There are no clothes on. He turned off the light. Tepi immediately said, burning now. I'm dressed.
He did not light the lamp. Raising his hand, he took a cigarette from the packet of cigarettes kept near the table lamp. He lit a cigarette with a lighter. He wanted to see the girl in the light of the lighter, he suppressed that desire. He is feeling a kind of subtle discomfort. He doesn't like any of the things of the girl. You don't even understand what that is. Is there any repulsive smell coming from the girl's hair? Naphthalene stains from King sari? These girls fold their good saris with naphthalene. So that the sari is not ruined by insects.
He is not comfortable smoking cigarettes. The smell of tobacco is very strong. Feeling sick. Cigarettes should be discarded. There is an ashtray near the table lamp, not today. Housekeeping is not going well. He got out of bed. Tepi immediately said, where to go?
He did not answer. He entered the bathroom in the dark. He lit the bathroom lamp. He saw himself in the mirror. Does it look more than age? Thirty-five years old, an old man can be seen in the mirror. He threw the burning cigarette into the commode. Flush pulled. Cigarettes with water did not go away. Floated. He sprinkled water on his face and entered the bedroom with a towel in his hand. He pressed the main switch of the bedroom. Three lamps lit up the house at once.
The girl lied to him. She did not wear clothes. Pulling the sheet up to the neck is lying. Looking at him with curious eyes. The girl is good to see. In addition to her own beauty of age, there is something extra in her. The color is green. Kajal of the eyes looks so beautiful because the color is green. Cut nose-mouth. The girl's hair was braided, not now. One gap must have opened. When did it open?
Tepi said, did your body hurt? He didn't answer, but his body began to feel a little worse after hearing the question. The head is relaxed. The nausea did not go away. He leaned against the bedroom window - a window had to be opened. Let some fresh air enter the house. All windows are closed because the air conditioner is on. Cigarette smoke is stuck in the room. The more stale the cigarette smoke, the more intense the feeling. His freezer by the window. No one keeps a freezer in the bedroom. He kept. He is very thirsty. Then you have to drink ice cold water. This freezer is good, it gets cold as soon as you put water in it. He opened the door of his freezer without opening the window.
Now he was not thirsty. However, he decided to drink half a glass of water - if it cuts the feeling of discomfort. He took out a bottle of water. There should be two glasses of water on the freezer. He measured the glass and poured half a glass of water. Not more, not less.
The girl said, what to eat? Alcohol?
Mr. Mubarak said in a simple voice, no, I drink water.
I thought wine.
The girl is smiling again. No, smile is beautiful. It's good to hear the jingle sound.
Mr. Mubarak never drinks water with a kiss. Give small sips in the glass. Today he finished the glass with a kiss and said, your name is Tepi, right?
Yes.
Listen Tepi, you go home.
Tepi looks surprised. Her eyebrows are furrowed. He had been lying for so long, now he was half asleep.
Going home?
Yes.
Are you angry with me
Not angry. You get dressed, get dressed and go home.
How can I go home so late at night?
There are drivers. The driver will deliver you. There will be no difficulty. Where do you live
I live far away. Joydevpur.
You just have to tell the driver.
Mr. Mubarak noticed signs of fear in the girl's eyes. She is trying to wear a blouse under the sheet. The floral sheet is biting with teeth. He should leave the house to give the girl a chance to dress well. He did not go. There is no reason to indulge them. Streetgirls should be treated the same as streetgirls. The girl doesn't look like a streetgirl, of course. She looks like a happy girl from a polite family. Who knows, the girl may be happy in this life.
Who lives in your house in Joydevpur? Your parents
The girl is talking while holding the sheet with her teeth. The words sound vague and tangled. He said, my mother lives and my little uncle.
Is the father dead?
No, Dad doesn't stay with us.
Do you have two sisters? Happy and peppy?
Hmmm.
What's your best name
I have only one name. Well. Are you angry with me
Mr. Mubarak went to answer but could not answer, a little startled. Because the girl dropped the sheet. She didn't wear the blouse properly. The button was not pressed. There are no corsets under the blouse. Picture of deep invitation. He said, I will be very difficult to go home so late at night. I have come to say. Shooting all night.
Mr. Mubarak remembered - this girl works in film. Extras. Dance or sing with the main heroine. When the heroine goes down to the pond to play water, she also stays with her. The wet body of the heroine can be seen along with her wet body. The wet body of this girl is definitely more beautiful than the body of the heroine.
What is the name of the picture in your hand now?
Love Deewana.
Is the character you are playing in the film the heroine's girlfriend?
Um, of course, yes, I know this, why it's something known in advance.
Sing or dance?
Dance.
Do you know how to dance?
No. There is a dancemaster, he teaches. লাDon't dance - move your hands and feet.
Mr. Mubarak noticed that he liked listening to the girl. He had never talked to anyone so long together. I have said today. What makes you feel good talking? The girl's voice is unusually beautiful, this may be one of the reasons. The second reason is obese. It's nice to see the girl sitting in an open blouse. Mr. Mubarak thinks that the girl has used this method of seducing men before. This is his most used technique.
Will you see me dance
Dance.
Don't have a dance instrument in your house? Play English.
You don't know how to dance. What if there is music? Moreover, I want to see the dance! Not doing. You get dressed. Get dressed.
I have been talking about shooting all night at home.
Say the shooting has been canceled. Your shooting is not canceled?
Is. We say packup.
Go home and say so. Say the shooting has been packed.
Well I will say. Now you go to another room. I will wear sari.
No need to go to another room. Gets in front of me.
I will wear it in front of you. Why? Are you my husband
The girl said the words in a hard voice but her face was smiling. Mr. Mubarak did not leave the house. The wardrobe opened. There is Punjabi hanging in the hangar. Punjabi wallet in the pocket. The girl has already been given money - let's give something more. He took out four or five hundred rupees notes. Who knows how much this girl earns as an extra actress.
How much do you get for acting?
Pie as shift. Two hundred and fifty rupees in one shift.
How long is one shift?
One shift in half an hour.
Don't keep the money.
Why?
I'm happy.
You are not happy. You're bored.
No I'm happy, no.
The girl raised her hand and took the money. Mr. Mubarak moved to the next room. This room is an extension of the bedroom. A small sitting room. Four low mattress chairs. A writing table. Next to the table is another one called Personal ComputerMecants LC3. This computer he uses only to play chess. The computer has a very good program on chess. Book shelf at one end of the room. Shelf filled with a bunch of English ghost books. This is to say furniture.
Mr. Mubarak sat at the writing table. A book with a page mark on the table - by Steven Weinberg - "The First 3 minutes". Mark the page in the first chapter. The name of the first chapter - The Giant and the Cow. Giants and cows. Beautiful as the title of the chapter. He gave the page mark, did not start reading.
There is a small red light on the table on the intercom. As soon as the intercom button is pressed, Idris will say from the first floor, Sir Snalamikum.
It's not too late now - it's eleven forty. Even if you press the button at three o'clock at night, you will get the response of Idris immediately.
He pressed the intercom button. Immediately Idris said, Sir Snamalikum.
Idris, you bring the girl.
Yes, sir.
Why isn't Idris on the ashtray at my side table today?
Idris did not answer. He realizes that Idris is sweating profusely on his forehead.
Did anyone telephone?
Anma telephoned. I said you fell asleep.
All right.
Amma says it is very important.
As soon as Mr. Mubarak put down the intercom, the girl stood at the door. How helpless the girl looks now. He said in a weak voice, I go?
Well.
I don't understand why you are angry with me.
Not angry. I'll see you dance another day.
Which way out?
Open the door and go into the hall. There are stairs to go down from there. Idris is waiting for you as soon as you get down.
Yes!
So big house but no sound. Sunsan silence. Mr. Mubarak heard the sound of the girl going down the wooden stairs. Heard the sound of the collapsible gate opening. Heard the sound of the car starting out. Then he thought he could have left the girl. Tuktak was talking nicely. Sometimes it feels good to hear very trivial things. He put his hand on the calling bell again, Idris said, Sir Snamalikum. Idris did not go with the girl then. Sent with driver. Idris will not leave him alone. It can be assumed.
Isris!
Yes sir.
Make a telephone connection with the house, I will talk to Rehana.
Yes, sir.
He went to the lobby to pick up the telephone. There is no telephone in his bedroom.
Who is Rehana?
Yes. Oma a little while ago Idris said you are asleep.
Wrong. I was awake. I was lying down with the lights off, Idris thought I was asleep. Why did you telephone
Naju had an accident.
Mr. Mubarak did not recognize Najuta. Someone will be on the side of his father-in-law's house. Rehana has ten thousand relatives in Dhaka city. It is not possible to recognize all of them. There is no need to recognize.
Horrible accident. Listen to what happened.
Mr. Mubarak took the mental preparation to listen to the long story. Rehana can't say anything in a few words. There is no such thing as 'summary and substance'. He would stretch a short story like a rubber. Telling the original story will go into the branch story. From there it will go to the branch At one time it is not possible to understand which is the real story and which is the branch.
Naju went to buy socks on New Elephant Road. Bata bought socks from the shops near Signal and got in the car. His driver did not come again today. Driving himself. When he started, he suddenly stepped on the accelerator - a man selling gas balloons in front of him hit him.
Mr. Mubarak is turning the pages of Weinberg's book. Start reading. Don't understand. The story of the accident is supposed to go on for a long time. How can a person talk tirelessly? Mr. Mubarak turned his attention back to the telephone - he may have missed something in the middle, now it's about the birthday cake. LK knows how the story of the birthday cake went from accident.
Went to Sonargaon for cake - they said, if it is less than two kg, you can give it tomorrow. What will happen to two kilos of cake for one hundred people? Not even half a spoon. You say, there will not be a hundred people on the birthday?
I
All right.
Yes.
That's fine.
Maybe.
