"Last Meeting . . . And Me" By Sabbir Ahmed

2008-10-04T02:23:00.004+06:00

Me, Odhora, don’t know why he wanted to meet me in spite of saying the last meeting. May be he would be off from my marriage. I know he won’t be there. And why he? He still loves me. I asked him many times to forget me but he said, “Loved me, so loved you & I’ll anyway.” Never he thought of my position even for a single moment! I don’t love him anymore. And may be I didn’t.

Tomorrow is my wedding. Now how I can consider that I love him?! Or I loved him once?! Now I am not for him. Then why he wanna meet me? Why doesn’t he forget me? And why doesn’t he let me go on my way?

Riksha-wala: Sister. Here we go 27 no. Where you will get down?

Me: Just over there to Shwarma’s gate. Here’s your fair!

4 O’clock. For the first time I reached on time and he missed the train. May be he went for a farewell gift. This is his 2^nd ‘Last’ meeting in three months and gave me many gifts. Whereas it’s hard to forget, he is overloading me with his gift! But thanks God, most of the times he brought chocolates and I be safe by eating those. Anyway, but gift can’t be the reason for his being late.

It is 4pm now. He is still not here. The boy who’d come 30 minutes before even if knowing that I’d be 30 minutes late. Today he’s getting late? Oh! How many times I told him not to come walking. “Aren’t there any rickshaw near your varsity?” But he wanna stay fit only for me. But he never gets late even he comes on foot. May be he is walking slowly. Oh shit! These days he so often gets out of mind. I hope he doesn’t meet any accident. May be I should ring. Should I? If I? What then? Ok forget it. I guess he’d be here in any minute.

It’s getting 4:25. I can’t wait anymore. And why would I? What the need? Did I ask him to come? Neither had I told him to accept my love nor to cry. I didn’t ask his last meeting. Even I didn’t tell him to come on foot and bring gifts for me either. All these he did on his own accord.

Oh no! 4.30 Now! Time has crossed the limit. I should start walking. If he comes he will see me. Is someone calling me? But it doesn’t sound him. It sounds like a cry and he never do so. Even on the last meeting he was laughing at himself. Sometimes he seems to be utter mad and me as well. Oh God! I’ve come a long way! I got to walk back home.

Me: Oy Rickshaw! Will you go? Just over there.

Rickshawala: I will. But do you see the jam.Apa? Someone has died.

Me: How?

Rickshwala: A boy was coming to meet his girlfriend. The bus with full speed hit him from the side. He was shouting “Odhora” “Odhora” before dying. Death made him stop.

Upor wala (Allah) amar arame rikshay kore basay jabar ichchha tuku noshto korlen majh pothe brishtir begh briddhi kore. Ami riksha stand e pouchhar agei ta onekta khali hoe jay, ar jara chhilo, tara abar nondo-dulal (Aram Prio). Brishti te vejar manush na. Nijer rikshar sit e nijei boshe chhilo arame.

Tai abar vablam, ai prososto rastay hatteo hoyto valoi lagbe. Tai abar hata dhorlam. Rastar ek paser footpath die age barte laglam. Hothat chokh porlo rastar opor pasher lal-nil rong er dike ja prothome shudhu rong mone holeo ochirei bujhlam ta amar motoi manush abong ekti meye lal-nil kapore. Haat e chhata chhilo na kintu tar hatar dhoron dekhe mone hochchhilona tar chhatar kono proyojon ba ichchha ache. Brishtir shokol fota ja tar upor porchhilo ta se nij ichchhay abong anonde grohon korchhilo. Ashe pasher manush ki vabbe, eta vebe se moteo bibroto noy. Boroncho se brishti kei beso gurutto dichhilo.

Dekhe abar vablam, ki ami pagoler moto ei darun brishti te chhata nie hatchhi! Se dekhle ki vabbe! Tar por o onno kichhu na vebe ami chhata nie tar kachhe pouchhe gelam chhata dear jonno. Kintu ta chhilo amar bokami. Karon eta noy, je se amar chhatar offer mane ni, karon holo se amar khub purono bandhobi jar shathe onek bochhor dekha nai. Kintu jed ektuo kome ni. Amar kach theke chhata nie bondho kore dilo abong eto din por dekha hoar shashti shorup vijte bollo. Amio vijlam abong onek kothai bollam. Kichhutei se amar chharlona, amon ki amake tar shonge tader basa porjonto jete hoto. Kichhu khoner modhdhei se otitheotar ek hulustul kando kore fello. Ar akhon theke abar tar shathe jogajog rakhar protigga die obosheshe tar kachhe chhara pelam.

Raat akhon 1:16. Shomoy onek agei hoyechhe amar ghumer. Kintu ami ghumate pachhina tar akta proshner jonno. Ami take onek valobashi abong eta se khub valo vabei jane. Tar por o amon akta proshno korle jar uttore ami tokhon shudhu hashi dite perechhilam, odvut hashi. Ar kivabei ba boli je “Tomar ageo ami kauke pochhondo kortam”.

Kintu akhon vabchhi take Janie dei “Aliha” er kotha. Aliha amar prothom pochhondo jar shathe amar dekha class 4e. kintu durvaggo boshoto ami se class e matro 4mash porechhilam. Ar vaggo boshoto ami take sesh din bolechhilam “Jodi vagge thake tahole abar dekha hobe & tokhon tomake akta kotha bollo”. That’s all.

But na, asole kotha holo tar proshner kichhu din por aj ami shada kapore akti meye dekhte pelam. Dekhe mone holo, Allah shudhu shudhui tar proshner uttor deata amar jonno jotil korar cheshta korchhen. Ami jani, ami nijeke kotha diechhilam, abar dekha hole Aliha ke amar moner kotha bolbo.

Kintu akhon to shomoy poriborton hoechhe. Akhoni hoyto tar miscall asbe kotha bolar jonno. Aha! Ai jontro ta jodi 10 bochhor age atota procholito thakto tahole hoyto ato kichhu hotoi na. Ami hoyto akhon Aliha’r miscall er opekkha kortam. Thak!!! hoyto akhane ato vabar kichhui nai. Se hoyto vulei gechhe proshno ta je korechhilo. Ba hoyto ar kono din ai proshno nai korte pare. Ar korleo, meye ti Aliha nao hote pare ar jodi hoy o tar shathe amar dekha hoar shomvabona nai bollei chole. Asha rakhi Allah shudhu ak diie amar shathe aktu dushtami korlen. Ar korben na.

Aj ami take bolei dilam. Na, se amake proshnota ar kore nai, kintu amar mon onek proshno korchhilo tai bolte holo. Ar mojar bepar holo, se amar kotha sune shudhu haslo ar bollo “Amon kichhu hobe na. ar holeo tumi tomar kotha bole golpo shekhanei shesh kore diba. Tumi to ar take LOVE koro na! Tar kotha ses. We are happy with each other”.

Kintu kotha to ato shohoj chhilo na. Meye ti ke to ami abar dekhlam ak café te, amon ki se amar pasher sit ei boshe chhilo tokhon. Ar akhane ja valo holo, ta holo 2min por se amni biday nilo shekhan theke abong amio na jani kar voye druto shekhan theke chole gelam. Akhon mone hochchhe, Allah chan je ami Aliha, orthath se meye tir shathe kotha boli. Vabchhi, jodi meye ti Aliha na hoy? Ar jodi hoy? Ki hole ki korbo? Kar shathe kivabe darabo? Bolle Aliha’r kachhe abong tar kachhe kivabe darabo? Ar na bolle Allah’r kachhe abong nijer kachhe kivabe darabo? Allah keno amon kore? Na, amra keno valobashi, keno promise kori? Prithibe keno ashi ar kenoi ba to kichhu kori?

Akhon aishob proshno abong aro onek proshno amar mathay golpak khachchhe. Valoto kotha gulo amar na. Jar chhilo, se ar akhon likhte pare na. Aato kotha mone ar ato chinta mathay thakle, manush kivabe shushtho thakte pare ai prithibite!
