White Car
Those who I don’t like ultimately meet me in the end. I am gossiping heavily but the servant boy said “somebody came and wants to meet you.” If I peek outside I will see someone familiar, but not now. But still with smile face I have to ask what’s up? So how is everything going? Once I was very close to him. Now I have to use eloquent words to keep distance. Bangle has no eloquent words. We can pursue for a long time. Lets count today’s matter. Then hangout is fun. An argue started with bangle words. In that time the servant boy said someone is calling me. When I came outside I saw Sabbir. I said with a smile face. Why outside, come in. He smiled unwillingly, come inside. No its okay. Some of my friends came. We are talking. Lets introduce. I will come another day. What is the problem today? Come inside. Sabbir came inside angrily. I didn’t see someone get so embarrassed. Sweet on nose skin. Inside there is heavy shouting. Aziz asked Fazlu spell dust. Is rosh U or dirghu U. Fazlu was stammering. Spit is coming out continusly. Ugly situation. Sabbir nervously wiped his mouth and said in a calm voice. I will go now and come another day. Please have a seat. We will play poker. Can you play it? No I can’t. I should go now. I have a work today. I showed him the way out. There is white car, a huge white car. A young driver seeing Sabbir jumped like a spring and became statue opening the door, Can’t believe so much arrangement for boys of our age. I with a very envy heart bough a cigarette. Like and morning holiday it doesn’t last much. But it was a matter of long irritating time.
Meeting sabbir was done whole buying parasitamol medicine. When I came outside saw many shops shutters were being closed., heavy busyness around everywhere. Anyone can’t say anything. Everyone is running. Truck drivers clashed against the bus driver. A group of party came with blades. The matter is suspicious. In this age people don’t use blades for action. But safety first. When went inside the side alley, I saw a white boy wearing a Punjabi lied in longitudinal patter. His glasses is far aside. I pulled hime up. He muttered I can’t see without my glasses. My myopia eyes have power 6.00. A glass of my frame dropped down. Wearing one eyed glass he looked weirdly. He clutched my left hand tightly until I left him in his house. Most probably he was feeling afraid. Should I leave him? I believe no man has such face of women, thin lips. When I see his glassless eyes I feel like its wearing eye shadows. Chin like teens. I said what do you do? I study MA in English, really nice. Last year I supposed to attend exam. But didn’t. I have a heart disease. Rhythmic problem. Have you cured? It has no cure. Saying this he smilled fakely. I took out the cigarette. Here take it. I don’t smoke. Nicotine damages the heart. Hardens the fiber. How you know much? My mom is doctor. In front of newescaton where he stopped that house should be recognized as house. It’s a huge matter. When we all got down from rickshaw a huge panic broke out. A women like sabbir’s voice said that. Why you took such step informing no one. When youwere outside why didn’t you take the car. Sabbir in awkward position started smiling. The lady said with anger why you give me pain? You have a weak heart. Anything may happen. Then what? Ok I won’t go anymore. That boy was Sabbir.
I was unable to go out till 8 am from their house. His parents acted like I saved their boys life. They both felt uneasy as they were unable to gift me anything. A man came with me to get me to my house. A small car was called via phone. They escorted me to the house. They said in calm voice. My parents are very busy for me. Only one boy. Are you all. Yes. We have five bros and sis. Now I am only left. Where are the rest one. They are all dead. People don’t survive much in my family. I had an uncle. He also had four children all died before thirty. What you say?? Yes. I also won’t survive. Why you say like that. I am saying the truth. See I have heart disease. All my friends are like me. Everyone got busy in everything, bank, travel agencies, and night college teachers. Only Aziz unable to do anything got admitted to law. We play poker in holidays. Sometimes we see VCR in Porimals uncles house and everyday it ends with a quarrel. Sometime its really bad. But still It’s not that bad. When we meet again we don’t remember the past. Getting before time is very good. When I take sip while sittinf in the tea shop I feel the world very happy. Fazluls renters young daughter’s heartlessness heart us even more. In such awkward unwanted moment Sabbir shows up. There driver calls me from the tea stall. Sabbir feels embarrassed. Everyone was drinking tea. Yes we are hanging out. Please come. No I don’t drink tea. Ok don’t drink. Just hangout. I will come another day. I have work toady. Ok then go. No stands in very awkward way. I feel very angry. Still I showed formalities. What they talk so much about. Is there any less of topic. Politics, girls, cinema,love. Come and listen. If you don’t wanna listen than say. What will I say? Experience of love. Sabbir said in shy way I have zero experience about women. I never talked with a girl face to face. What? It’s true. I stay alone. My mom doesn’t like that. I have heart disease. So what. Littlebit of exictment makes my heart weak. It can also be severe. I wanna be budenless. Okay now today. Its sunny. Sabbir still doesn’t leave. Stand around. Littlebit is the young driver.very disgusting matter. This girly boy has no similiarties with my happiness and sadness. I don’t like talking nice with him. I do everything to avoid him. Staying in the house I send him away. Don’t know when even will come back. Sometimes I go for myself and say I will go by myself. I had to visit a friend in hospital. I cant talk today. Lets drop in the hospital. Which hospital? No I don’t need it. I wont feel any problem. Please come. A matter of irritation. When I see a white car I feel white sabbir wearing a Punjabi will come out. I cant my feeling to someone who is always covering his eyes with glasses. Act if I cant even be angry also cant bear. When I am outside there is an hesitation. Like I will meet him now. It feels most embaressing when Nilu is with me. But nilu doesn’t understand anything. She says irritatingly why you act like this? What happndes if I meet him. I want to see a gentleman. Once accidental meeting happened. I was coming to green road by foot. Suddenly saw the white car I stopped. Inside the car Sabbir was looking shockingly. I pretend not see him. Getting a rickshaw quckly I got up with Nilu. I was feeling afraid as now he will stop with the car. He said shyly hwere you wanna go? Nothing happened likethat. Nilu said why did take a rickshaw. How much time I said I hate rickshaws. Why you dony like it. Cover up. I feel suffocated. Does it work if don’t cover up. Dude if I don’t cover up would I get in the rickshaw with an unmarried man.
The eveining was wonderful. We had a great time. In the eveing we went inside a Chinese restaurant. Nilu said all the time everyone is worrying. But still she didn’t want to go. When I lieft nilu in shaymoili I saw Sabbir waiting for me in the house. I was amazed said what up? No matter I just dropped by. I cant find you when I come in day. Any special reason or random matter. No I just dropped. He wiped his forehead sweat with a hanker chip. I said have tea. Should I call for tea. No , not pleas. I will leave now. Mom is worrying. I never stayed that late. Buy why today? I saw you two today, felt very good. Just to say that. Sabbir felt very shy. You saw me with Nilu. Yes. It felt very good. I wanted say where you wanna go. Tell me. Why think I dint go? I smoked a cigar silently. Sabbir said in a calm voice I went with you guys behind. Really? Yes. I told the driver follow the rickshaw from far. Yes till Shahabag. Then I was unable to follow the rickshaw nor the driver. Are you angry. No I am not. I thought I would not say it to you. But you two were looking very beautiful. Very happy. I thoughy you wont be angry. I said in a calm voice no I didn’t. its late. You should go now. Or your mom will be angry. Yes. You are right. Sabbir left but I had great irritation. Is the guy fool? I thought a small doubt. If it happends again. Unbearable matter. That also happned. Seven later Sabbir said. Were you guys were eating Fuchka in front of childrens park? I don’t remember. You were wearing a check shit. Your girlfriend was wearing a red sari. A fiber bag in your hand. Remember. Yes I do. I followed you guys for I hour after that event. Really? Yes I was feeling very good. I told the driver pursue as they cant follow us. You guys at least looked back once. But didn’t understand anytting. I said with a deeo breath when I am with Nilu I am always unware. Sabbir said with a great interest what were you doing there. I didn’t reply that rather lets introduce you with Nilu. No need of that. I like seeing you together. A vey peaceful happy fave. You know I told mom about you gyus. Very good. Do hate when I follow you. I didn’t rather somked a cigar. I hate when white car follows us all the time. Sabbir is sitting in front. I his teen face is very exiciting. Again sweat in face. The eye is tearful. It looks like he may cry. He leaned very closely and said why people are so happy? That was my lasy meeying with Sabbir. He never came to me. Maybe he is very sick. Maybe cant come outside. Or maybe abroad. Or maybe something else. I also don’t wanna find out. Sabbir never came. But still his white car follows us. When Nilu said something else or I wann touch her hand I feel the white car is around. I have no escape form it. I didt get married to Nilu ultimately. My wife is not like Nilu. But still I feel heavy live for him. When Lights go out in a stormy night I touch her with love. That time I feel the white car nearby. Glassed man thinks in eyebrow all the time why people are so happy?
THE END
