Five people make up a really bizarre tale, including a lonely father, three young women, and a little daughter.
One of the most endearing characters is Tareen. Despite her passing after 13 months of marriage, she is present throughout the entire book. Ahsan, the protagonist and the lonely guy who mourns the loss of his wife, Tareen, carries a lot of memories. When Tareen's clear face can no longer be seen a week after her passing, after holding so many stored memories, it is time to wed someone else. Who will he pick as a companion, though?
Ahsan meets Reba/Parul, Nishi's daughter. Even though they are close friends and companions, these characters in Humayun Ahmed's writings maintain a strong sense of honor.
