ধulo o baishar pori, khamarbari ti bonancholer modhye thakleo, dhulo o baishar hath theke rakha pae na.

Baire jhorer bego bristir theke onek beshi uttejok hoy, kompokkhe uttor-poschim anchole to botei, sei dhulo o baishar emon je, nijer ostitto niyei shondeho toiri hobe.

Sheshomoye, chong di chilo atithishalar ghore, ei shob boro manushder golpo ar hasi thastha dekhe tar mon e ektu birokti aschilo.

Bortomane, khamarboti din din barche, ar eta chilo tar ichchokrito niyontroner modhye, jodi sotti ekta nirdisto akare poure jay, tobe ta dhire dhire niyontronchara hoye jabe.

Eta tar poroborti shomoye bojha komiye bikasher shiddhanto ke aro drir koreto.

Dhumpan korara, nak ghoshara, nak theke moyla ber korara...

Pallas cat ba tushar biral ti ke ektu dekhashona kora dorkar, hum... ekhane theke kichukhon shorer jawar ekta karon pae gelo.

Somogro khamarbarite, murgi, hash, hansh giyer jonno chong di ke motteo chinta korte hoto na, matro ekta tushar biral chilo, jar obostha chong di ke shob shomoye khobor rakhte hoto.

Tushar biraler obostha dekhar por, chong di babar shathe, ei chachaji der amontron janiye kotha bollo.

Didi ar ma, pasher atithishalar ghore chilo, shobai chokhush bekti, ei dujon narike ekhane rakha thik hoto na.

Dhulo o baishar ekti bebochchhinno bhabe boye cholchilo, majhe majhe kichu chhoto pathor urie niye kono ekta jinisher upor akaghat korchilo, fole paka paka shobdo hochhilo, jodi batashe dhulor gondho na thakto, tobe eta ke shotti ekta prakritik shur hisabe dhora jeto.

Baba ke chinta-grasto mone hochhilo, onara chachajider moto mukti kore hashikhushi chilen na.

Obosthan alada hole, manoshik obostha to alada hobei.

"Baba, amra mar kache jabo, amar kichu kothar chilo."

Chong di baba ke ekta bilakhon mukhe dekhe bujhte parlai, ma-o hoyto ekei rokom mukhe royeche.

Eta bujha sohoj, eto boro jhor-baisha, ajker aay bhatur moto shob shesh, tarporo aro onek khoti hoyeche, ei shob dekha jay na.

Jeta shudhu hisab kora jay, tar-o ekti boro khoti hoyeche.

Onnanno kotha na bole, shudhu matro paka kul, ke jane koto gulo uregiye niye geche, jodi emon e ekti ba du ton kom hoy, tobe ta ekta boro khoti.

Jene rakho, eta tar shongroher shrestho kul utpadon, ota kono sadharon jinish noy.

Shabjir purbo udahoron theke, je keu bujhte parbe je kuler gupto mullo koto, na bhebe-i bola jay, eta aro ekta sorshoria jinis hobe.

Emonto obosthay, ki kore mon khushi rakha jay?

"Hum, thik ache, kotha to bolar ache." Chong tin matha nullo.

Chong di dekhei bujhte parlo, baba je kothati bolechen, tar sathe tar bolar kothar kono mil nei, duto alada orthobohok.

"Shaohong, chachaji der tumi age apkhon koro, jodi na paro tobe dekho kono khabarer byabostha kora jay ki na, hotpot ba onnanno kichu holeo cholbe."

Eto dur porjonto chole eseche, eta bhablei jhor-baisha theme jabe na, eto shob manush ekhane jamojamie ache, shudhu golpo ar hasikhushi korle to cholbe na, kichu khabar ar modh-o khete hobe.

Baire boro jhor boyche, meghla akash, tarpor sheptoborer shurute tapmatra onek thanda, kichu hotpot kheye thanda dur kora, besh آرامdayok o bote.

"Tobe thik ache, ami dekhe byabostha korchi." Shaohong matha nure chole gelo prastuti nite.

"Ma, didi, tomra ki kotha bolcho?"

Ghore dhuktei dekhe ma ar didi choto shore kichu ekta bolchilo, awaj khub boro chilo na, chong di thik moto shunte payni.

"Chong di, ajke eto boro jhor boyche, onek taka khoti hoye gelo, ekhuni tor didi amake ekta hisab kore dilo." Dikhun phulor bhru kunchano chilo, mukhbhongti khub e kharap chilo.

"Hum, bhalo holo, poribarer shobai eksthane ache, ami-o e bishoye kichu boli, ashole ei bishoye tomra kono chinta korar dorkar nei, prakritik durjog, eta amader niyontroner baire. Amra ekhane chinta kore ki jhor thame jabe? jar jhor tow boibei."

Jemon ta chong di boleche, emon protirodh-ashokto ghotonay keu kono nirdisto byabostha nite pare na.

Jeta kara jay, ta holo khoti komanor joto dur shombhob chesta kora, tarpor utshaho niye shomoshyar samna kora.

"Kotha ta sotti... tobuo ektu chinta hoy."

"Thak... baba, amra kichukkhon por shesh kaj niye kotha bolbo, tarpor ekshathe hotpot khete jabo."

Babar obostha dekhe, chong di ei prosongti bondho korar shiddhanto nilo. Tar nijeri ei dharona chilo, tumi na bolle bhalo chilo, jokhon-i bolbe tokhon chinta aro bere jabe.

Manush emoni, jokhon tumi kono karone dukkhi ba ragal how, tokhon tumi jetai boro kore bolbe, tototai beshi dukkhi ba ragal hobe, tar theke prosongti eriye jawa onek bhalo.

Tarpor, chong di babar shathe samprotik prokolpo niye alochona shuru korlo.

Machher pukurti thik korar jonno tin din somoy lagbe, griho-nirmaner byabare baba nirikhyon kore shobcheye upojukto nirman poddhoti khuje pechen, poroborti shomoye matro ekjon ke pichone chok rakhar jonno rekhe dilei hobe.

Tar mane, machher pukurer shomoshyati somadhan holei baba ekhane eshe ei atithishalar shajshojjar kaj tushar feler moto dekhte parben.

Ghor-nirmaner kaj shesh, parda ghuranor jontro-o lagano hoyeche, baki shudhu tar lagano ar line-er connection dewa.

Tarporer griho-nirmaner kaj, madhymasher kul paka ba ardho-paka howa porjonto opekkha korte hobe, kulgulo tule felar pori tarpor abar nirman cholbe.

Somogro obostha chong di dekheche, griho-nirmaner jaygay gacher shongkha khub kom, khub i birohol, beshir bhag-i samne kendribhuto, tai beshi jhamela nei.

Atithishala shajshojjar byabartio ajkei hothat mathay eseche.

Pichoner kichu din, chong di sheseptoborer sheshe korar chinta korchilo, ajker ei boro jhor bujhiye dilo je, jeta thaka dorkar ta thakai bhalo.

Jodi ajke atithishala shajshojja thakto, tobe grahokok ba kaj kora chachaji keu-o ajker moto erokom obosthay porten na.

Shudhu shajshojja noy, se rannaghor, malpotro rakhar ghor ar bhojonshala-o toiri kore ekshathe shajate chay.

Onnanno, nirdisto bisod bishoygulo, poroborti alochonay thakbe.

Khamarbari chara, baki chilo jomite bonayon kajer bishoy, ekti bishwashjoggo lok khuje ber korar chinta cholche, je take sahajjo korbe, poroborti shomoye nischoy jol dewa hobe, gachpaler khobor rakha hobe.

Dirghomoyadi bhabe, ekhane nischoy ekjon lok ke thakte hobe.

Baba-ma ba shaohong keu-o upojukto noy, matro notun kore ekjon ke khujte hobe, shudhu jol dewa ar fol gach er khobor rakhar kaj, baki kajgulo baba ke bole kichu lok die korale hobe.

Fol gach jodi beche thake, tobe kono shokhom bekti ke mukhyo dayitto diye, nije ekjon shudhu matro naammatro malik hoye thaka... shesh.

Jemon moshla ebaror byapar, ashole sheti eka ekti ekchhottritvo korte parto, kintu eta shudhu take aro beshi chinta baranor shathe shathe, khamarer obostha niyontroner baire niye jawa chara, kono akorshoniyo bishoy chilo na.

Matro kichu beshi taka earn kora, koto beshi earn korle beshi bola hobe? Tar theke ei taka earn korar shujog onnoke diye dewa onek bhalo!

Hum... khub e shundor ekta chinta.

Aro kichu nirdisto bishoy niye kotha bolar por, shobai tarpor shei ghorer fhire gelo jehane shobai chilo.

Bhalo byapar je prothom ghor toiri korar shomoyei boro kore toiri kora hoyechilo, ei ek-kuri jon lok keu motamuti bhabe dhukte parbe.

Hotpot ar onnanno shob kichu prastut chilo, rannaghore shob rokom khabarer upokoron chilo.

Sammudrik mach, merar mangsho, golden mushroom, ar matir nicher bibhinno shobji, shob kichui chilo, shob-i hotpote dewa jabe.

Jodi tumi shob khete paro, tobe hotpote shob kichui dewa jabe.

Emonki mishti bhutta-o tumi seddho kore khete paro.

Sammudrik mach khete khete, hotpot khete khete, choto modh khete khete, boro ek dol manusher besh anondo hochhilo, ekta chokher poloke, duppur bela kete gelo.

Chong di tushar biraler jonno chintagrastohilo, tai beshi modh kheyeni, shudhu ektu matro mukhe die shoriye porlo, ar chachajider anondo korar shujog kore dilo.

Ma ar didi-o ekei rokom korlo, etogulo boro manusher majhe thaka thik noy.

Jokhon akash puropuri andhar hoye gelo, jhor ektu kome elo, tokhon shobai ekti kore cholte shuru korlo, jader rasta durer chilo, tader shaohong gari chalie poure dilo.

Ei chachajira, beshir bhag gramer lok, durer lok khub kom chilo, ek khepetey shobai poure gelo.

Ratri bela, chong di tobe giye bichanay shute parlo.

Uf! Sotti klanto, nije shara din kaj korar theko-o beshi klanto, kotha bola ba mesha amar kaje dokkhota noy.
