part 09

Everyone was shocked to see Abul Zaheed injured. Blood is pouring down his forehead. One ran inside the house to get a first aid box. Writing stopped for a while. After bandaging Abul Zaheed's forehead, he was allowed to sit on a chair. Hemlata is standing naturally with one hand resting on the stick. Writing asked, 'What happened? Why did you hit him?'

Hemlata said, 'This barbarian has been roaming here at midnight for four days. His intentions are bad.'

Rikhon narrowed his eyes and looked at Padmaja. Then he asked Abul Zahed, 'Is what he is saying true?'

Abul Zaheed growled, 'I came here for the first time today. can't sleep So I came here walking. Suddenly he attacked.'

Hemlata protested firmly, 'Don't lie at all.'

Abul Zahid did not admit his intention at all. The light of the morning dawned on the argument. Hemlata said that she has to leave this house today. Panic spread among the group after hearing Hemlat's decision. How to let the boat sink to the shore? The last part of the movie is left. There are ten more days as per the terms. When an older actor from the team protested this decision, Hemlata replied, 'Can you provide security for my three daughters? Why would a man wander past young girls' houses in the dark of night? On what basis?'

Hemlata avoided everyone and entered the Lahari house. Arguing with them will only waste time. Abul Zaheed's sly gaze caught his eye many times. The first night he heard footsteps and did not recognize them. The next day, he followed four or five people on the suspect list to ascertain who had walked by the Lahari house at night. A heap of chaff is on the right side of the Lahari house. Covered with polythene paper. Carelessly, Abul Zaheed's tear-stained shoes fell on the pile of chaff. As a result, chaff sticks to the shoes. The next day, Hemlata found a pair of shoes on the balcony of the house. Chaff is nowhere else in the house. He busily approached the pile of chaff and saw a pair of shoelaces. When Abul Zahid put on those shoes he was fully convinced.

There was a groan among the shooting team. The discussion went on for some time. Then everyone caught Morshed. In return they agree to pay more money. Morshed's eyes lit up when he heard Tucker's words, even though he fell silent under Hemlata's threat. He came home and started a fight with Hemlata. Hemlata did not agree to anything. He could not stick to his decision till the end. He was uncomfortable with the request of some good people in the party. He gave five days instead of ten days. Hemla breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the matter was cleared up before anything happened.

It is very hot today. Padmaja is sitting on the mat with Munna by her side. Carefully teaching Munna, who to call what.

'Call me, big brother. Purnake Chhota Apa. And love is equal to you. So I will call you Prema. We will be together. Do you understand?'

'Yes, I understand.'

'You will also call my mother mother. Our mother, father, from today you are also mother, father. Do you understand?'

Munna said in a wise tone, 'Yes, I understand.'

Hemlata left the cooking and came up. Munnake said, 'I will speak in pure language. Your lotus as you say.'

'How?'

Padmaja said, 'No way. Tell me, I will tell you.'

Munna smiles obligingly and says, 'Well, I will.'

Hemlata smiled and left. Poorna called Munna from the room, 'Munnare?'

'Hah, let go of you.'

Padmaja gently patted Munna's cheek and said, 'Say, ji chota apa.'

Munna said like Padmaja, 'Gee, Chota Apa.'

Padmaja smiled. Purna smiled softly and said, 'You have to change your name. I have given you a new name.'

'Who? Naam Paldaitam Kere?'

Before Padmaja could say anything, Munna asked, 'How would I have said this?'

Padmaja smiled and patted her forehead. This boy is fluent in the regional language. Purna said, 'You are our brother now. Your name should match ours. What should not?'

Munna grinned and agreed, 'Yes.'

'That's why you have to change your name. From today, your name has become a part of the world. I will tell everyone this. Will you remember?'

'Yes, mind Raham.'

'Say, well, I'll remember.'

'Well, I'll remember.'

Hazera arrived at noon. It has brought with it fabricated stories and lamentations. He is asking for a gourd by hint. Morshed bought all the gourds in the market yesterday. There was another one in the tree. There are shrimps in the house. He expressed his desire to eat prawns with gourd.

Hemlata brought the last lauta with a smile. Now I want Hajera again. If someone asked for something, even if it was in hand, Hemlata did not return it. Not even today. He gave Hazera a gourd with a smile. Hajar went away satisfied. Padmaja looked at her mother helplessly. The edge did not get what it first wanted when it came to this house. It will not have a negative effect on the mind! Hemlata didn't say anything even understanding Padmaja's gaze. Fold the edge and place it on the lap. The boy looks good. He took a bath in the afternoon. It seems like a pile of dirt is being cleaned. The death of the beggar did not affect the end at all. No one was surprised by that. Father and son used to stay together only at night. Many nights the edge has been alone. How many nights this boy spent in fear! Hemlata said in a sweet voice, 'Let me tell you a story. Will you listen?'

'Hunao.'

Padmaja pointed out the mistake of the language, 'Don't lie. Say, listen, mother.'

Edge tilts his head. Then he said to Hemlata, 'Listen Amma.'

Hearing Amma's call, Hemlata's chest was filled with pure love. He poured love into his voice and said, 'We have to die one day, you know?'

'Yes.'

'Heaven, has anyone ever said about hell?'

Edge shook his head from side to side. No one listened. Hemlata suspected so. Edge doesn't know about it. He beautifies with patienceAnnat, described hell. Hearing the description of paradise, the two eyes of the edge sparkled. He asked a thousand questions. He tells Hemlata that he wants to go to heaven. Don't want to go to hell. Hemlata said, 'Well, now tell the story. I will listen carefully.'

The edge nodded and nodded yes. Hemalta started saying, 'A woman used to live alone in the house. No, there are two children. very small They are very lacking. A mud house in a small place. He likes to plant a gourd plant in front of the house. The gourd grows. Gourd leaves are many. He spends the day with this gourd leaf. Sometimes boiled and eaten. If you get salt and pepper, you eat boiled vegetables. So one day a beggar woman came. The beggar woman does not eat for two days. Looking at the leaves of the gourd tree, I want to eat it. A woman who owns a gourd tree, is called a beggar, to give gourd leaves. will cook Says very pleadingly. The woman is delusional. The beggar plucks some gourd leaves to hear the woman speak. A few days later the owner of the gourd tree died. The imam of the mosque along with the villagers buried him together. Do you understand the edge?'

'Yes.'

Edge is listening intently. He is a very attentive listener. Hemalta began the rest, 'The village imam dreams one day that a fire is burning around the woman he has buried. But he doesn't even feel the heat. Gourd leaves surround the woman. Due to which the fire cannot reach. So he gave a gourd leaf of his one meal to a beggar. That leaf saves him from the punishment of the grave. We should do a lot of worship to avoid hell. One of them is donation. Donate according to ability. No one should be turned away. Understood?'

'Yes, I understand. I donate.'

'Hmm. will do I will be very big in life. And do a lot of charity. Well, now if a needy person comes and asks, give your lute. What will you do?'

Edge thought seriously. Then he said, 'Dia Diam.'

'A little while ago a woman was not coming? Did you see it?'

'Yes, I see.'

'He is very poor. There are small children at home. He came and said, to give the gourd. That's why I gave you your lauta. Is that why you will be upset now?'

'You gave Lauda. So I will save you fire, Lauda?'

'Even if I gave the lute, it was for you. If you accept it now, Lauta will save you from the fire.'

Hemlat's words are very happy. Immediately he asked with a serious face, 'How can I save a gourd?'

Hemlata, Padmaja, Purna laughed hearing the question in the innocent voice of the forest. Padmaja said, 'Many leaves saved the woman. Such a gourd will save you many times. '

The edge is asking one question after another. Hemlata answers her with a smile. Padmajar's eyes suddenly moved away from the edge and fell on Hemla. Do you know the wave of happiness that rises in the chest of the children when the mother smiles? Padmaja's role model is her mother. She wants to be like her mother.

Five days are over. Very busy among the shooting team. Everything is being arranged. The shoot was completed in five days in a hurry. Writing is sitting with a chair in the yard. Chitra came and sat beside him. Made a cough-like sound to get the writing's attention. Look at the writing. He asked with a faint face, 'All the packing is over? '

'Hmm, the end. You didn't fix anything.'

'I will leave in the afternoon. What else do I have to pack? I will finish it at noon.'

'Upset?'

Likhon did not say anything. Lahari looked at the room. Emptiness in vision. The pain of letting go. Pinching pain in the left side of the chest. Chitra said as she put on her wrist watch, 'Your lips were bent as if you were like a younger sister. If you fall in love with him now.'

Likhon did not say anything. He let out a long breath. Chitra said, 'Padmaja is very big. I heard she will be seventeen next month. There are only a handful of seventeen-year-old unmarried girls in this village. Most of the Padmaja class girls are married. And very few girls read.'

Ignoring Chitra's words, Likhan said, 'When is your wedding?'

'At the end of the year. If all is well. And if God wants.'

In a while everyone will leave for Dhaka. Hemlata, Morshed come to bid farewell. There are three-four character problems in the team but the rest are very good. Very mixed with humility. He remembers his home. took care of the house. Likhon performed a brave act under the cover of modesty. Lahari came home with busy legs. Padmaja was sitting on the balcony. Seeing the writing, his chest trembled with fear. Likhon did not let Padmaja say anything. He quickly went up to the balcony and left the place with a letter in Padmaja's hand. Padmaja kept shaking. Purna observed the matter from the post. He is shocked. He walks slowly. Padmaja's whole body is sweating. Hitahit knowledge becomes empty. The letter fell from his hand. Purna picked it up. Padmaja's throat is dry wood.

Hemlata came and saw Padmaja sitting on her knees with her snout on her knees. how does it look like He will ask anxiously, 'Lotus? Bad body?'

Padmaja got scared hearing her mother's voice. Discomfort in the air. shortness of breath The two eyes cannot be fixed. Breathing is irregular. Purna said to handle the situation, 'Mom, you have a headache.'

Why did such a sudden headache? Too much pain in the lotus?'

Padmaja looked at Poorna with helpless eyes. In a sudden incident, he collapsed. The right hand is constantly shaking. Hemlata looks at the two girls with sharp eyes. He asked in a hard voice, 'What are you two hiding? Did anyone come?'

Poorna was more scared than Padmaja at her mother's question. He gripped the letter in his hand more tightly. He will not miss this letter regardless of what is written.
