Too much night sitting for eat, mother says with apprehend throat, ‘have you heard the news choton?’
‘whats news?’
‘fairy has come.’
Long time I can’t say any speech. Mother says with haltingly, fairy gives birth a daughter child.
Now this time water is seen in mother’s eye. I say ,bo : mother, why are  you crying?
Mother says with normal voice ,no I don’t cry innocently; have you take twinned rice?
I noticed that the water is wearing from my mother eye with overshadows. Mothers are nourishing sorrow in their mind.
Remembering six years ago fairy sister is there anything for crying today? Coming out for washing hand I see a blooming moonlight has gone down. What a marvelous beauty in surrounding. The yard long lemon tree’s lenient shade is floating that’s light. That long familiar house seems today unfamiliar.

In verandah my blind father is sitting in easy chair like recline. There beside a nil tool. After Finishing all household work mother will sit here. Utters some words with whispering. Both will look on outside. One will see emerge moonlight and other will see darkness.
Father calls with soft voice ,choton, aswell choton! I procced to him. He looks me with his blind eyes. Says with unclear voice , fairy has come have you heard?
‘I heard’
‘Ok go’
Today is a sorrow day for us. Fairy sister has come today. May be her frolicsome face under the bombax ceiba tree  will be seen if I will  stand very early in the morning in front of their house.  Bombax tree’s exult is flying in her eyes and mouth. May be will be happy to see me. Neither not be happy. Aspiring to see fairy sister.
We are nourishing sorrow in our mind. Sometimes we remember  our’s many old memories. There is a sudden push in our inner chest. Water comes to  my eyes. Why such we are?
I am seeing by standing that my mother is going to tubewell to wash her hand. Parroting her head’s stuff she looked to the sky .Then she took long time for oju.  Once she comes to that nill tool for sitting. Father says with whispering, have you complete your meal?
‘yes. Will I massage oil on your chest?
‘No.’
‘Have smoke? Turn on it?
‘No.’
Then both are sitting  and sitting without any without any sound. The shadow of lemon tree is going to smaller.Can’t understand from so far but seems that mother is crying. Father  touches mother’s hand with his lathy hand. With  a flux beared unclear voice father  says ,don’t cry don’t cry.
Today father may loves her old wife as like the love of 30 years ago. My mother  needs a acute  love today. Giving  them the chance I get down to the road. Mother intensely calling ,where are you going choton?
‘Just have a walk in road.’
‘won’t you make late?’
‘No’
Mother says with upset that ,’choton, will you go to fairy’s house?’
I keep clam. Father says , let him to go if want. Let Go.
Roads are solitary.The people of metropolis goes to bed very early for sleep.  Cricket are calling with their own voice in surrounding. There are night  bird’s fret in the tress to tress. After that it seems the surrounding is quit clam.
In road the the white sand are glittering like suger. I walk solely. It seems that many era ago in another birth there as like moonlight. Elder brother and me went to fairy  sister’s  house. My  shamefull elder brother called fairy ,oh fairy from under the bombax ceiba tree with soft voice.
Bearing lantern fairy’s mother came out .With frolicsome faces says ,oh you? which day  comes?Does college goes to vacation?
‘How are you unty? Does fairy is well?’
Hearing the news fairy came out from the house as like a air velocity.
After looking  with a astonished  glimpse fairy says, how many days later your college goes for vacation.
My shamefull elder brother says with  whispering ,  fairy are you well?’
‘Yes . how are you?
‘Well.I bring story books for you ,fairy.
Which birth incident am I thinking? Through walking it seems really it happens in once? Without   a  old mother and a blind father  had I anyone of myself?
I stuck in front of the fairy sister’s   house. In open yard fairy sister are sitting silently on chair. Beside there is a nill chair . May be fairy sister’s husband leave this few minutes ago. Fairy sister saying with normal voice seeing me,  isn’t  choton?
‘Yes’
‘Oh how many days later see you. Sit this chair.’
‘Are you well fairy apu?’
‘Yes, will   you see my daughter? Sit I bring her.’
Wearing a red dress as like a doll a she comes back with sleepy daughter .
‘See,  does she doesn’t like me. isn’t it?’
‘Yes ,what is the name of your daughter?’
‘Nira. Hasn’t like this name?
‘Nice name.’
Long time sit down. Once  fairy sister says , Go to house choton. Have enough night.’
Father and mother  both are sitting  as like that. Father’s head oversell infront. In his whole head there are bright hair like milk.  Mother   are seeing outside in recumbency mood in the wall. Hearing the voice of foot father says with flinch , have you returned choton?
‘Yes.’
‘Would you go to fairy’s house?
‘Yes.’
Long time there is no conversation. Altogether we are 3 sitting silently.
Once father says, ‘does fairy said something ?’ 
‘No.’
Mother’s body comes to hitch. A sound like wailing mother says with subtle sound ‘my elder son. My elder son.’
My huff brother ,died by endrin  who saves  his   acute love for  fairy sister  according that love father pulls my mother . Makes a kiss by oversell on mother’s crinkly  forehead. Saying with whispering , don’t cry don’t cry.
Seeing that tremendous view of love brings water in my eyes. Looking to the full moonlight night I say in myself ,fairy apa, I forgive you today.

                                                  The Yellow Tablet Of Paresh
Paresh Baiddha works in a cloth house in Nayabazar.It’s an indefinite work.His work starts by cleaning  the room.He shows cloths to the coustomers,buying and selling upto night.After managing the cash he gets a break for an hour.This time he cooks for him.His cooks well.The owner of the shop Aziz Mia likes his cooking.He said many people,the Hindu cooks well.Specially Pulse and. In Bangladesh,if any people will cook Pulse just like Paresh then I will traim my ear.
Aziz Mia likes Paresh Baiddha very much.He is an honest man.He has no demand.It is a matter of fortune to get a faithful person like him by exchanging livlyhood and three hundred money for a month.Aziz Mia thinks maximum time that Paresh’s salaries will upgrade five hundred money.But it is not possible because selling and buying is low position without bazarday.Nayabazar is belonging to a village place.It’s an indigent place.It’s unable for the people to buy cloth without napkin. 
Aziz Mia can’t increase Paresh’s salary but he behaves well with him. After closing the shop when Aziz Mia goes back home he takes Paresh with him and eat very closely.They are chit-chating sometimes after finishing the meal.Then Paresh returns in shop and sleeps at night.
Aziz Mia has four daughters.His two older daughters are marriageable.For them all try to findout bridegroom.But unable to get a perfect bridegroom.If Paresh were Muslim instead of Hiudu he must give marriage with his older daughter Paribanu Khanum.If Paresh will Muslim he will think about it. Just Paresh is aged 40+.But age is not fact for male person.Age matter is valueable fact for female person. Not for male person.
He discussed with his wife about this matter.His wife Khadiza Begum tells with freatfulness,do you want to give marriage your daughter with a follower of different creed?What do you say it?
He will marry after reduced Muslim.He also says that the marriage ceremony will heid up Muslim law.
Marriage with a turtle eater,sham!said Khadiza Begum.
He will not eat turtle after becoming Muslis said Aziz Mia.
 Our daughter’s marriage with a sarvant.Forget it said Khadiza Begum.May Allah forgive us.The boy has no qualification and no initiation.your daughter has admitted into a college.
Paresh Bhuddha’s educational qualification is so low.He is reading till six to seven.But his hand writing is so much well,as like as pearlsyllable.But pearlsyllable is not a qualification for consideration of a bridegroom.
It was a rainy day.The sun had given hot sunlight.The sky covered by black cloud as nightfall.It is started rain heavily.Aziz Mia decided that he would not go back home.He would stay in shop this night.It’s unnecessary walking two miles throughout mud.There is a canal enclose his home.The  canal can be crossed out on foot before.Water have increased few days ago.As it rains heavily,the canal’s water mist raise like swimming water.
Aziz Mia calls Paresh and says that cook rice.He also says that he will not go home at night.Paresh replies silently doesn’t aunty think bad thinking?Aziz Mia replies“Do it“ Sometime if female person don’t feel bad thinking,their physical condition will damage.Allah has  created female person for thinking bad things said Aziz Mia.
What will you eat at night?said Aziz Mia.
I wish I want to eat meat said Aziz Mia.Where I get meat at this moment said Paresh.Aziz Mia replies to Paresh to cook the hotchpotch with spawn.He also said that cook slender hotchpotch.
It’s ok.I will do it said Paresh.
You should give two tea spoon’s butter with hotchpotch.The fragrance of butter is very nice.
Hasn’t it?said Aziz Mia.
Yes replies Paresh.
If I eat meat with stone a jackfruit and pungent,my mind will light hearted . Egg is not bad said Aziz Mia.
Aziz Mia eats at night with light hearted.He decided that in every rainyday he ordered Paresh to cook hotchpotch with egg.He has not addicted any smoking. After all, he eats two betal leaves.He brought cigrate by Paresh.He smokes cigrate with delighted mind.
The bed is fitted on the shop mattress.He went to bed with sleepy eyes.The rain drops on the canister shed.It is of a heavy pattering sound.It’s a happiness wind blow.Aziz Mia thinks he is one of the  happiest persons of this world.
Paresh said to Aziz Mia thathe wants to wink his head.Aziz Mia said no need, no need.You may sleep.  Paresh said I want to turn your head and then you may sleep.It will be comfortable.Paresh gives his hand into Aziz Mia’s head.Aziz Mia feels comfortable and feels sleep.But he tries to awake.He thinks if he sleeps,he can’t feel this type of comfort.
Paresh.
Yes, uncle?
Where do you train this types of head wink.Only barbares can do such types of head wink.Was there any barbar in your race?
No uncle.
I will try to increase your salary.It is need.I can’t do this becausethere is no earning.
Uncle,it is not necessary.
It’s you who say it’s not necessary.Because you are so good boy.I will must marry you with Paribanu if you are not a follower of tartle eater religion.Paribanu is not bad looking.What do you say?But her dosposition is not well.Her dosposition is like her mother.Female dosposition is not well for a family.
Paresh doesn’t reply anything.He winks the hair only.Aziz Mia was lying flat on the back.Now he is reping his side.Relaxation is increased when he is reping his side.Now Paresh is winking his shoulder.This winking increased his pleasure so much.Aziz Mia willtry to awake for sometimes.Everything will be lost if he will sleep.
Paresh said Aziz Mia.
 Yes uncle said Paresh.
Don’t stop.Tell something.Tell some story said Aziz Mia.
What kind of story shall I tell?said Paresh.
As your wish.Insteed of head winking what kind of knowledge you have?I think you know many things.
Yes, uncle said Paresh.
Tell it one by one.Do you know any musical sound?
I don’t know any musical sound.But I can see everything in my front and back.
What kind say it Paresh.Everyperson can see front and side.We can see front again when we moved our shoulder we see our back.
My term is not like it.
Which type it is?
Suppose,I can see what will the condition of the earth after ten lakh years in future .Good very good. Once a person give me a yellow tablet and I ate it.I have seen from then,said Paresh.
Which tablet?
Yellow tablet.
Aziz Mia went a full of sleep.His consciousness goes on down. He hears Paresh’s speak.But he can’t understand fulfill sometimes he talks himself.But he has no any idea what he will say.
Paresh says,I can see everything.
Aziz Mia replies,to see everything is well.It is not well to see some or nothing.
Paresh says in the sky there is a moon but it may not stay.It will fall on the earth.
Do it.It will fall with a vapour sound.It’s moon which is not staying is well.It’s moonlight when moon is staying in the sky.There are many sin works occurred in moonlight.I did myself a sin work in the field said Aziz Mia.It’s not right to stay there is any jute field in the village.Understand?
I understand uncle.What will the sun’s condition do you hear it? said Paresh.
Tell you said Aziz Mia.
The sun will pull everything upon itself.It will turn with fire.After then it will become small as like as bindu.
What do you say – Bindu?said Aziz Mia.
Yes uncle,Bindu.said Paresh.
I had a sister whose name was Bindu.She was married.Her husband worksin Saudi.He has a lot of money.
In the earth everything will become dark understand uncle.There will no star in the sky.Everything will go out.Then after sometimes a resounding will hear,said Paresh to Aziz Mia.
It’s thunder’s sound.The thunder will fall in stormy and rainy time.Clame wind is blowing.Give me a bedsheet on my body,said Aziz Mia.
Paresh gives the bedsheet on his uncle’s body and says who gave me the yellow tablet do you want to hear the matter?said Paresh.It was an interesting event.
Did you buy the tablet by any paisa?said Aziz Mia.
No.It gave me without any price.
Aziz Mia tells with a big youwn there is no any work obtained by begging medicine.When you will buy any medionie must give one paisa for honourable.Will you mind it?
Yes,shall I now tell the matter?
What is the matter?
The matter those person gave me the yellow tablet.It was an interesting event.
Leave it.It’s good knowing to hear any subject as short.My eye is closing down for as sleep.Now I will sleep.
Ok,sleep said Paresh.
Isn’t it waving?
No,it doesn’t start now.But it will prolixity wave at last night.It is so powerful strom.
Who says?
I tell you,I know everything after I had eaten the yellow tablet.I also know far and nearest things.
It’s ok.It’s good to know.It’s not bad to know the nearest thing.
Aziz Mia is going to sleep to speak it.He is importuniling in his sleep.
Paresh is scratching to seat inclose his head.He doesn’t go to bed for sleep.Because today is an alarming night.It is not so alarming for todat’s strom.It is alarming because strom Paribanu gets burning oil and burn.
Paresh knows everything when he had eaten the yellow tablet.He also knows there is no way to obstrucines the firing.He obstrucines it if there will any way to remove it.The yellow tablet is learnd to him everything has occurred in the world from birth to death.Anything will not change by anyway.Man ‘s work is going on only seeing.
