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.
