A few years ago I had a relationship with an angel. Talked to him every day. I used to recite poetry. The fairy wanted to talk to me all the time. At that time I was bound by extreme rules. I used to not talk for more than 30 minutes a day.

I used to talk only about books with Pari. I used to talk to him about the book I was reading. Pari used to tell me, 'Akash, when you read the book, after you finish reading that book, tell me the story of that book'.

After I finished reading each book I used to tell Pari the story of that book. Then he started asking me for gifts of books. I also wanted to give him a gift. But I didn't want to force it. After hearing about the gift from Pari, I started gifting Pari my favorite books one by one.

Then gradually he became a bookworm. Sadat Hossain used to read first. Then slowly Sunil, Tarashankar, Manik started reading. Now he reads books regularly. I swatted the bookworm a million years ago. Still reading fairy books. Will read even after a million years.

The angel is now someone else's winged angel. But I have no problem with this. There is no point in suffering. Being able to make bookworms is my truth.

But I lost my true identity a million years ago. I have a very happy sleep in my heart despite the intense pain. He made bitterness sweet.
