When Mirza Azim died a year ago, Tuktuk was only two and a half years old. She had just started talking like a sweet bird. She used to call Aziz 'babai' from the beginning due to his close resemblance to her father. It was Aziz who freed her from the insecurity that was working in her little mind due to his father's untimely departure. Babai* is so dear to her that she often cries for Babai in her sleep. When Aziz wakes up most mornings when he's home, Tuktuk is always sleeping on his back.
A few days ago, Tuktuk started going to school. However, she did not go to school today because her babai would come back. On seeing Aziz, a white cotton doll with shaggy hair jumped up and down shouting 'babai' and came to his lap. Aziz also forgot all about Miss Julekha Khatun for the time being by getting Tuktuk in his chest. He sniffed Tuktuk's head and said,
"I missed you so much, Ammizan*!"
It is very true. Although Aziz has love for everyone, he is very careful that no one gets the slightest glimpse of that love, he makes sure that no emotion is left behind. He has made himself so hard and hardened that he has no other purpose in life except career, success, business and money making. Due to some incident in his childhood, he has burnt his mind day by day and turned it into a hard crusty rock. No one knows exactly how deep in this mind the internal flow called love flows, its exact location.
But even in this stony mind a piece of soft fluffy cloud floats when Tuktuk comes to his lap. In this one place he has not yet become strong, perhaps never will.
Most of the year he is out of the country on business, rarely at home. He has no desire to return home, those roots have been uprooted long ago. Only when Tuktuk say,
"Babai, when will you come home?"
then it seems that somewhere in this huge world, a very small soul is waiting for him with unlimited love and affection. He has not yet mastered the power not to respond to this call. Tuktuk wrapped his hands around his neck and said,
"Babai, have you brought me chocolate?"
Aziz rubbed Tuktuk's nose with his nose and said,
"Of course I brought ,Ammijan. Have breakfast, then I'll give it to you. But why didn't you go to school today! It's not good to miss school."
At Aziz's words, Tuktuk hugged his neck a little tighter and said,
"I didn't go because you came home . Why are you so late to come now? I won't let you go anymore, babai"
At Tuktuk's words, Aziz squinted at his father and let out a furtive sigh. He did not want to go outside the house. He was forcibly sent out of the house. So why are they so desperate to arrest him now? Even through a trap like Miss Julekha Khatun.
Mirza Aziz is not the kind of person to fall into this nonsense trap so easily. He smiled in his heart. Father knows him well. He has sky-high contempt, anger and stubbornness towards his father and also has an ocean-like love, loyalty and obedience. Just as the sky and the sea are never one, this dual feeling for the father is never confronted. But Aziz wants these feelings to come face to face one day, to fight pride with love, anger with loyalty and stubbornness with obedience. Then either the sky or the sea wins with the clamor of their feelings. Then let those colorful feelings color your life.
But it doesn't actually happen. He respects his father a lot and obeys his orders no matter how difficult it is. But this time it is not happening anymore
He had no interest or desire for marriage. Marriage was to him a simple matter like the fulfilment of all other biological needs, only a means of procreation. So there was no dream about this. Without knowing without seeing, he did the marriage over the phone, relying only on his father. But he didn't think that his father would hang Miss Zoo around his neck. He looked at her with a venomous look and saw that Miss Julekha Khatun was staring at him and Tuktuk. 'how funny!', whenever you see this girl, the background music is like cow-goat-poultry humba, bann, pak pak or cokcorok coo. How did his father think that he would accept the owner of this owner of Black lengal goats as his wife.
Tuktuk's mother came up and wanted to take her from his lap. "Give her to me, Aziz. You eat breakfast, I'll be feeding her."
With this, Tuktuk shouted like a shrill whistle,
"I will eat with Babai."
Tuktuk is the only child of this house, everyone loves her, because his father died, everyone keeps all her needs in mind. Aziz told Jasmine,
"You sit down, vabi*. I'll feed her."
After that she quietly sat on his babai's lap and started eating breakfast. She eats what Aziz eats. Aziz was feeding her little by little and also eating himself. He has impossible control over himself, so he did not look ahead even for a blink, but even without looking, he could understand that Miss Julekha Khatun's eyes were on him.
"Disgusting," he repeated to himself.
Mirza Ghulam Ali has been suffering from high blood sugar and cholesterol for several years. So his diet and lifestyle are very well controlled. Eating at the right time throughout the day and exercising regularly keeps him healthy and fresh. As a very strict dieter, he eats two red flour flat loaves in the morning, along with a bowl of boiled vegetables and the whites of two half-boiled eggs. Then drink a cup of black coffee and go to office.
Today there is some understanding with his younger son. So after finishing breakfast, he said to his wife,
"Send my coffee to the library." Then he looked at his son and said. "Aziz, come to the study when you have finished eating, there is something important to talk about with you. "
Aziz didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement.As Father went and mother also got up.
Elder brother Alim teaches in a college. As it was time for his college, he also got up and left. Bhabhi looked at Aziz and Julekha's faces and smiled and said to Tuktuk, "Come on, let Babai eat now. Then he will play with you."
Tuktuk reluctantly went to her mother's lap. Aziz's breakfast is still not over, so he was eating.
Aziz, who has been burned by difficult experiences knows that if there is no food in the stomach, the growth of the head or the strength of the bodu nare of then will be properly supported ,so no matter what happens, he never compromises on food.
Julekha had been sitting and playing quietly for so long, but now everyone was leaving one by one, now she was feeling awkward. It seemed to her that a much easier task to sit with a python by the neck than to sit before the cold gaze of Mirza Aziz. Jasmin smiled and said,
" Julekha, you should sit with Aziz. He hasn't finished eating."
Julekha felt that it would have been better and asked her to jump into the well but she was not a girl to go to back out of fear. People say that her inteligence and courage are both very high. So she tried to be brave in front of Mirza Aziz.
When Bhabhi left, Aziz concentrated in eating and watching Zulekha. While eating, he started looking at Julekha. What is so special is this girl that his father made this Miss Julekha Khatun his wife. Julekha was also noticed that Aziz never looked at her even once before and now he is not even blinking. she also looked back equally excited. Let's see, whose mind is stronger.
Julekha noticed that Aziz's eyes were slowly changing. A mischievous smile appeared on the corner of the face and a strange mysterious look in the eyes. Disgust, anger, hatred, contempt... what else is in that look, Julekha did not understand. However, she understood that there was no sweet, beautiful feeling anywhere in this gaze.
Aziz looked into Julekha's eyes and said, "Why did you introduce yourself as Miss Julekha Khatun'? You should have introduced yourself as 'Mrs Mirza Aziz."
When talking about giving her reply, Julekha's one and only. Since she had to stay silent for so long, she was very uncomfortable. Before the question was finished, she replied,
"One does not change from 'Miss' to 'Mrs' with just a piece of paper."
Aziz's lips curled up a little at the answer, then he raised his right eyebrow and said with an expressionless face,
"Very impressive. The owner of the Black Bengal goat is smarter than the city girls. So you want to go to bed with me now? That's what you think marriage is done and you become truly a Mrs."
At first Julekha had a hard time believing what she heard. But the next moment Julekha's eyes flashed with fire, "Shh! I thought you were a gentleman when I saw your outfits. But I didn't know you were so shameless and uncivilized."
Aziz said calmly, "As far as I know your father-in-law, he is supposed to send you before me with all the information and instructions about me to prepare you to win the war. Did your father-in-law not tell you about my impudence and rudeness? Did he not tell you that I had a bad disease?" Yes, the disease of winning? I don't like to lose. As much as I have to be rude, shameless and rude to win I don't hesitate at all."
Julekha felt that a big mistake had been made. What looked like a taming a cow from outside, was actually a mountain wild goat. The responsibility given to her to subjugate these people who look one way on the outside and another on the inside is not only difficult but also impossible.
