##Sister's Life
I couldn't sleep at night so I left my house. Going to the upper room, I heard the sound of crying. I did not try to go inside. I'm upset. With that upset I went back home. I couldn't sleep but I kept my eyes closed. If I was in the upper place, maybe I would have cried more than this. I used to cry once in the morning and once at night following the rules like medicine.
Apa did not read after finishing honors. Today four or five years at home. I used to work in a school but it was closed for a couple of years. The school is closed due to lack of funds. Rose comes to the wedding house for Apar but I don't know why none of them happen. No one likes you. Nobody likes the house. Apa is not bad to see. All the beauty that a girl needs to have in order to be Mayawati has an upper hand. Even then, marriage is not going to be arranged for Upper. My father tried hard to get me married while I was in honors. But could not pay. Today is the year and a half of my father's death. I can't arrange upper marriage either. I do a small job. The house is run with the little money I get paid. There is younger sister Sanjida. He is also finishing honors this time.
Rose blood pressure becomes high due to tension. It is like dying, you have to fix it again with a lot of difficulty. Sanjida, however, said she would get a job at a school. Who knows what happened!
The old age has been added to the reason for breaking up the marriage. The effect of this word on an old woman in her twenties is very much understood by a girl who is in pain. The wedding house that came two days ago has broken down due to age. Apa called me and asked,
Antu, what did they say?
I was silent. I couldn't say out loud,
Apa, they are looking for another young girl.
Apa seems to be silent nowadays. Gives an answer of ten words. It hurts to see you. I still don't understand.
I woke up in the morning and saw that Rafiq uncle had come. He brought a wedding room for Apar. He told you to show it in the evening. Apa and I went to a restaurant in the evening. Five of them came. Mama, Khalu, uncle, boy with father. Apato fell into discomfort. Apa Lajuk seems to have become helpless in the midst of so many men. I wish two or three of them would hear harsh words but it is not always possible to do what the mind wants. I am very angry with myself. Everything should have been said beforehand. When I returned home at night, I saw you sitting with the door closed. I'm sure she's crying. The issue of marriage has now become a source of bitterness for Apar. Ammar's blood pressure is still high. I told him to sleep after drinking tamarind juice.
The next afternoon, when I returned from work, I saw Apa weeping over the branches of the jackfruit tree that had been planted before Dadajan's death. Probably assumed no one would see him that way. I pretended not to see.
This has been going on for a year. Going one year means raising the upper age another year. One night when everyone went to sleep. Apa then called at the door of my room,
Antu.
I got up.
- What, sister? Say something?
- I don't need to look at pots anymore. I will not marry.
- Why sister?
- I can't handle this. I'm better than that. Look for Sanjidar.
Apa left without telling me anything else. I discussed the matter with Amma in the morning. I see my mother saying the same thing. I said look for two. I started trying. Sanajidato did not agree, but Apa insisted.
After a long time, the potter is coming to see you. All arrangements have been made as usual. Apa is dressed up properly. The most beautiful banana leaf colored shirt is worn. You look pretty. The recipient came. I saw it and left. They have not received any news for a week.
I saw you feeding pigeons on the roof. Apa Kabutar's turn has started anew. He looked at me and said,
Antu, did they say anything?
I said,
No, she didn't say anything. Maybe say.
Apa told me,
Silence is not always a sign of consent. Sometimes there are signs of disagreement.
I stood silently. I'm sorry to hear that. Apa said while playing with the pigeon,
These birds also pay attention to those whom people do not pay attention to. Sometimes I think you know what! Birds are better than humans.
Apa doesn't cry anymore. Laughs, always laughs. It has become so difficult to get sad, even if you talk about crying, you smile. I cried when I heard Upper's words.
Those who saw you a month later also replied.
"We like your older sister or your younger sister. If you don't mind, we can talk."
How the word went to the upper ear. I kept it a secret that Apa would be upset. Apa came and said,
Good. Why do you disagree so much? If the boy is all right, give it to Sanjida.
Sanjida agreed. I knew he wouldn't agree. But that consent became like again at the insistence of the upper. I also see my mother talking in the upper tune. I did not understand what to do. After being silent for a week, Apa said again,
Why are you so late? Find out if the boy is good.
I do not understand the upper mental state. I couldn't do it anymore. Within three months, Sanjidar got married to the boy. Apa is now alone at home. When you see me, you say,
When you go to see Antu Sanjida, take the message.
I say,
Apa you will not go?
Apa then smiled and replied,
Nare. I will not go.
Why do I say jingles,
Hey, I'm her big sister, can I go then? I don't have a respect.
I don't think it's an honor. Probably don't want to go to Upper Trouble. I just took the message when I left. Ani Sandesh also came from the shop for Apar. Like Upper Sandesh. Apa looks at them. One eats and the rest is given to the mother. Ask me to take. I look up without taking a message. The years go by. With the upper age.
Nowadays you can be seen on the roof at night. The pigeon muttered something in his hand. I stood up and saw that he was not approaching. Apa cried loudly once while talking. After a while you can be seen laughing ho ho. Apa is healthy? Or have mental problems? I question myself sometimes. Doesn't get the right answer. Because you look healthy all day long. When the night grows, he just smiles to himself. Is this smile happy or sad?
Apa thought her life would be like that? Upper may also have dreamed of having a well-arranged family. Someone will bring Kadam for him in the rainy season or Krishnacura in the spring. Wet together on a rainy night. Someone will fulfill his small hobbies. Will pay the price of arrogance. He will bring bangles and say, "Take this for you." In that world, he will have sons and daughters. They will grow slowly. Mother will call him. Who knows how many more dreams Apa may have arranged. No one knows when human life will start to take a strange turn. Today does not know what will happen tomorrow. Tomorrow does not know what will happen next. Maybe this is good for Upper. If he got married, his dreams would not be fulfilled and he would get into trouble. Surely allah has placed good in it. May Allah give you the strength to endure. In the midst of all this I saw Apa smiling. Apa is smiling even though there is no one around. Stay Apa Hasuk. Let all the sorrows of the upper laughter disappear with a smile. I hastily remembered a verse,
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَ
Wa lachaofa yutika rabbuka fatarda-.
Meaning: Soon your Lord will give you so much that you will be happy.
I believe there will be something like that in the upper life. In return for this sorrow, he will surely get infinite happiness. And let this day come soon. I have read this verse many times while listening to you so that you do not break it in any way. The verses give strength in these difficult times. I look forward to seeing those good days. The day Apa will laugh from her heart.
If you guys enjoyed my writing than it will make me so happy and i will get inspiration to do better writing day by day. Don't forget to share your feelings and opinion in the comment section.
