Family

'You know sister, I think I cooked biryani at the thirsty house next door for Iftar today. The house was smelling of biryani and the whole house was smelling of biryani. Well how about eating biryani? Will you feed me biryani one day? I heard that good and bad cooking is done in your father-in-law's house every day. Your fortune is good. You can eat good and bad twice. You don't remember our words now, do you?

Anamika almost fell from the plate as soon as she heard the restless words floating from the other side of the phone. The food stuck in the mouth is trying to come out in a daze. In no way is his food coming down his throat. After the Iftar episode, Anamika sat down to eat at the dining table. Roast a little chicken with two handfuls of rice on a plate. This is like a meal for him. Just looking at the plate, how it twisted inside the chest. Tapu, his only brother. She also has a younger sister named Manisha. Her chicken meat is very favorite. Before the marriage, when chickens were brought to the house in Kalevadra, there was a heated quarrel between the three siblings. Who will eat any piece. The three siblings used to sit by the stove from the time the chickens were cooked to the time they were cooked. My mother used to tell me that it was mine, give me that run too, along with the soft bone of my chest. Mom was annoyed at times, but didn't talk. This is how they fought until they were cooked and eaten.

But today he has no competitor even though he has a bowl full of chicken meat in front of him. Food does not have that taste. There is no bone-to-bone fight over the meat of the run. Suddenly Anamika's eyes filled with tears. Lokma called her father's house to give him the first meal. The phone was received after ringing twice. Tapur's words on the other side of the phone began to float along. Before answering any of Tapur's words, the phone rang and the phone rang. Balance over. On that day, food did not come down Anamika's throat. He left the rice in the basin and went to his room. Tapur's words echoed in my ears,

'Well, how does it feel to eat biryani? Will you feed me biryani one day?

Anamika will be married in a month. There is no shortage of him in the father-in-law's house. Mother-in-law Shahana Khandaker has brought this house as his wife without any excuse at first sight as her skin color is a little brighter. This is the last word in his house. Very smart to see and hear. A handsome woman with a tight build. The dress is also quite tasteful. Anamika has also adapted herself to this world in a very beautiful way in this one month. Although there is a stark difference between his family and his father-in-law's house. On the day of the wedding, the neighbor mocked and said,

'You are marrying a girl in such a big house! See if you can take the girl to the city and sell her again. I have seen so many. After showing temptation, he said goodbye again after two days of marriage. Otherwise such a rich, rich boy will come to this broken house to get married with no grief Bapu. Think there is still time to work. Otherwise, I told her that there is sorrow in her forehead.

Anamika did not remember the words of everyone after coming to this house. After Ramadan, she did not go to her father's house after marriage. Anamika washed her eyes and face from the washroom and sat on the bed. Sajib, her husband. Busy with the phone back from the office. He moved a little when he saw Anamika. One glance at him asks,

'Eaten so quickly?

'Who'
Anamika replied in a dispassionate voice.

Sajib left the phone. Sitting face to face with Anamika, he asked again,

'Are you upset?

Anamika nodded and replied. Which doesn't make sense.

Sajib did not say anything more. He turned his attention to the phone again. Then both of them are silent. One second, two seconds, a few more seconds passed. Anamika finally broke the silence. Too long to ask,

'Well, how much would it cost to cook biryani for three or four people?

Sajib was a little surprised by Anamika's words. But he did not understand. But he seemed to understand something. Did not disclose. He looked at the phone and answered very naturally

'It will cost a thousand rupees.

'Oh'

'Hmm.

It's morning. It was quarter to 11 in the afternoon. There is a gathering in the drawing room. There are countless shopping bags lying face down on the sofa. Each bag is full to the brim. Last night, mother-in-law Shahana Khandaker brought Eid shopping for everyone in the house. Fariha picked up 4 packets from there. About Anamika's big ja. He accompanied his mother-in-law in shopping yesterday. Throughout the day, the wife and mother-in-law went around trying to fulfill everyone's wishes as much as possible. Fariha is a school teacher by profession. Fariha took the four packets in her hand and said to everyone in the drawing room,

'I have brought these four packets for my family. So I am taking them home. Take a look at the rest.

After saying that, Fariha went to her room on foot. Shahana Khandaker shared all the packets one by one. He handed over everyone's belongings and kept the last 5 or 6 packets separate. And he said these are for the house of his daughter's father-in-law. Sajib called and said,

'In the afternoon you and Anamika went and handed the packets to Sohana's house.

Sajib replied short

'Yes, mother.

As he got up from the sofa, he handed the last two packets to Anamika. This is for you. Go to the room and see. And yes, another thing, my son has just got married. I haven't sent a single thing from your father's house till now. Once the search can take the news or not!

She said the words in a soft and strong way. Anamika can't think what to answer to her mother-in-law's words. He may have e or what to say. He knows very well that his father is not able to do that. Anamika went home without answering her mother-in-law's words. Leaving the packets in the corner of the bed, he said anxiously,

 If he could, maybe like Fariha, he could buy something for his younger siblings on Eid.

Anamika sighed as she spoke. A wound of regret is created inside the chest. Overwhelmed by the pressures, the helpless mind says, 'Everything in the world may not be possible for everyone.'

It was late afternoon when I saw it. In the morning, Anamika took out a black jamdani from the packets given by her mother-in-law. Sohana, her only joy. I have to go there. Speaking of mother-in-law's order.

 Sageguje neatly came out of the house and sat in the car. As soon as she got in the car, Fariha came running from inside the house. The packets of clothes set aside for the family in the morning are handed to Anamika and she says,
I thought Tapu and Manisha read the clothes and sent me a picture. And my greetings to Uncle Aunty.

Anamika is surprised to see such a factory in Farihar. He doesn't seem to understand the facts at all. All seems miraculous. Filling his thoughts once more with wonder, Sajib came running from nowhere. Two handful of parceled biryani packets. She looks at Anamika as she puts the packets on the car seat. Says with a sweet smile,

'It didn't cost much. A little more than a thousand rupees.

Anamika could not handle herself this time. Tears welled up in his eyes. Five minutes after leaving the car, he got a call from his mother-in-law. As soon as I received it, I heard that soft, laughing voice,

'Just call home and find out. Sajib is going to your house, not Sohana's house. How do you do all this cool stuff?
And yes, bring Tapu and Manisha with you when you come. And don't remember my words in the morning. I said all that jokingly. Or to get this joy now? Tell me, wife?

Anamika is speechless, stunned. Where will he keep so much happiness so much joy! Who will show. It was very sweet to hear the call of wife in the face of mother-in-law. He is almost mad with happiness. Even with tears in her eyes, one world responded to her mother-in-law with a smile

'Well, mother.

The phone rang. Four-wheeled mechanical transport is moving at its own speed. The window is open. The wind is blowing. Anamika is sleeping soundly with her head on Sajib's shoulder. I have no regrets. There is no terrible pain of regret. Anabil Hatchani is giving happiness thinking that a smile will appear on the face of poor parents, brothers and sisters. Anamika's sleeping innocent face seems to indicate a message,

'At the end of the day, if every girl has such a faithful shoulder and family, what more could you want! There is nothing more to ask. There is no need for anything else.
