I’ll no more trust you
Anik was hurrying to go to the
college. His mom was standing next to him to comb her son’s wet disheveled hair
after he dressed up. Anik was late today for his biology class. As his mom combed
Anik’s hair he shouted, “ please don’t
make me too late mom I am already late today, just let me go now.”
“Oh! Shut up Anik
just let me help and don’t wiggle your head. If I don’t do this then how will people know my son is the most handsome boy in
this world?”
Anik shook his head to get out
from his mother’s adorable daily loving torture and said, “It’s enough, now please let me go. I bet I’ll miss the class today.”
His mom smiled and kissed on Anik’s
forehead and said, “yah! Now you may go
my boy.”
As soon as he had freed
himself from his mother’s hands he ran away with his stylish bag toward the
college.
Every mom loves her child but
his mom was something more than the others. She had nobody in this world except
her son. Anik was the only reason for her to be alive as she had lost her husband
when Anik was only three years old.
When Anik reached the college
the class had already started but he was allwed to attend it. After the class
someone was waiting for him outside. It was Juie, a pretty girl in the college.
He did not know if Juie loved him or not but she was surely everything to Anik.
Juie always wanted to stay with Anik for his sweet demeanor and courteous words.
He cared about her too much and used to try to put a smile on her face.
It was 4 pm, the practical
class had just got over. Juie was talking to her friends while waiting for Anik
to go to the coffee house together. Anik came running and started panting
heavily.
“Oh! Sorry yaar, I was in the library talking to the
professor for my practical notes.” He
spilled out the words pretty fast and pretending to apologize.
“It’s okay Anik, now please let’s go as we are getting late.” she
said and pulled his hand to take a cursory step to go to the coffee house. They
started walking smiling and staring at each other. The people you love to think
about, the company you enjoy so much. She just held his hand and started
laughing continuously.
The coffee house was on the opposite
side so they needed to cross the road to reach it. Continuing with their
conversation, oblivious to the world around them they attempted to cross the
road. A speeding car came from nowhere and hit them. Anik was thrown on his
back while Juie was run over by the car. In a moment, the road was wet with
their blood. A few drops of blood trickled down Anik’s head drenching his
forehead. Juie lay on the road stone cold, her dress wet with blood. Anik tried
to reach her crawling slowly with the last vestiges of strength as he could not
stand up owing to the factured bones.
He cuddled her body slowly
with his bloodied hands and started crying as if the world has come to an end.
Then he slowly laid down on the road holding her head to his chest, passed out.
When Anik came to his senses
he was in the hospital. He asked about Juie and came to know that she was critical.
She was struggling to live. There was no reason to live without her. If she died
then what was the point in living, Anik thought to himself. As he closed his
eyes some memories came floating into his mind. The days they spent together
and the way they walked holding hands he could never forget till his last
breath.
In an insane moment he
thought of donating his heart to Juie. Anik asked the doctor if he could donate
his heart to her. As the doctor had understood his feelings, he decided to do
it. The doctor took them to the operation theater. The operation was done.
The next day Anik opened his
eyes. He was shocked. He asked the doctor “Howam
I alive? Didn’t you give my heart to her? Did she die? Why did you do that
doctor?”
Doctor looked at him and told,
“She is fine, do you want to meet her
now? She is taking rest there.”
“No I want to meet my mom at first. She must be worrying about me. May I
go doctor?” Anik asked.
“No you can’t go now. Your condition is not good enough to go out,” the
doctor answered without looking at him.
Anik requested him many times
to let his mom meet him but they didn’t listen to him. After a few days he was
able to go home. When he reached his home, he started calling out for his mom repeatedly…
“Mom
where are you? Mom can you hear me? I am back. Please come to me.”
But there was no reply. Anik
entered the room which was their temple but could not find her. Then he entered
his bedroom and saw a letter was on his table. He picked it up and unfolded it.
The letter was written to him by his mom.
Dear son,
You are the only reason for me to live. As you know, I’ve
nobody in this world but you. How can I stay alive without you? You wanted to give
your heart to save your love but being a mom how can I see you leaving me? I’ve
given my heart to my son so that I can live in you and my heart can beat for
you always.
My son, please don’t worry. You just breathe and you
will feel your mom is within you.
Anik sat down sobbing on the
floor holding the letter in his hand.
After a few days, Anik went
to college. He asked his friends about Juie. They told him that they had seen her
going toward the music room. He went there to find her. When he reached the music
room he was in shocked. Juie was in a lip lock with Pritom who was Anik’s best
friend.
Now he just mislaid his
existence for a moment from this world. He could not cry anymore but the heart
melted down. He felt the biggest shame and culprit himself in this world. A
girl, just for a girl he mislaid everything. He did try to devote his own life
even he lost his most loving person in this world, his mother only for this
girl. Nevertheless, she was not for him, she loved someone else.
