I was childless for 10 years after marriage. Doctor said I will never be a mother. I gave up hope. My relationship with my husband was also not going well. I understood that he wanted children by any means but he could not tell me that way openly. Because, he works under my elder brother. I prepared myself to tell him, you get married for 2nd time. But, I would never be able to do it. My chest would become heavy with difficulty. This is how I was living a life without humor like a robot. Suddenly, 1 day I felt maternity symptoms visible in me. Test result also came positive. I was so happy. My husband was more happy than me. Soon we got 1 son. In the operation theater I could faintly hear the doctors and nurses saying, why is the baby's body temperature so high? I couldn't listen to them for a long time. I fell asleep listening to the baby's cry. After a while, when I saw him with my own eyes, I was surprised. The mother of such a beautiful baby. I.... His eyes are dark green in color. Looking at it for a long time makes the eyes blur. Still, I keep looking. Indeed, his body was very hot. I felt like my hands were burning. Still, I wasn't leaving him. I was holding him in my chest. I named him Aayan. After Aayan came to our life, all the problems between my husband and me ended. I felt very happy. But, as Aayan grew older, I found him unusual. His body temperature was higher than normal, anyone would touch him and say, Emma! The child's body is burning with fever. Also Aayan didn't mix with other kids. He used to sit alone in front of the mirror and talk by waving his hands. I didn't mind that though. Because, kids will talk alone. But, even after growing up a bit, his mirror disease did not go away. However, now he does not talk alone, but looks at the mirror. My mother used to joke that my grandson is crazy in his own handsomeness. But I didn't like it. He slept mostly during the day. He was very quiet, spoke very little. Also, he didn't like his father at all. He didn't even call him Dad. He seems to be the only child who left his mother's lap since he was 5 years old. He wanted to sleep in a separate room. I gave him a separate room in 6 years. I thought he would come to me scared at night. But, he didn't come. I scared him of the ghost. I said, if you sleep alone, ghosts will come to you. He said, "I am not afraid of ghosts, mother. " Even if I went to his room in the middle of the night, I would see him awake. Standing in front of the mirror. I scolded him. He went to bed to sleep. But, I used to think he was pretending. He doesn't really sleep. I used to get very annoyed with his behavior. I was most annoyed by his words. I told him. One day, his father is late to return home. The phone is also switched off. I am worried. And he is smiling in front of the mirror. He is 13 years old at that time... 13 year old boy is not so young that his father is not coming back and he is not worried about it. I asked him, "Hello, aren't you worried about your father?" He said, "No! It's for you." I was surprised and asked why. He said, "If I tell you, you will be angry with me. But listen to one thing today your husband will bring you a rainbow cake but don't eat it." I was very angry after hearing Aayan's words."Your husband? " What kind of language is this? Can't he say Father? I asked him back, "Who is telling you that your father will bring rainbow cake?" "I know," he said. "I'm used to such spiritual talk from him. So, I didn't ask him how he knew... because, even if I asked him, he wouldn't answer." I sighed and said, "If your father brings cake, I won't eat it." Why? If you don't tell me why, I'll eat it." Aayan said nonchalantly, "Poison is mixed in the cake to kill you." I gritted my teeth and asked, "Why would he kill me?" Aayan thoughtlessly said as before, "Because he has a love relationship with a girl named Rimi. He will get you out of the way and marry her.'' I could not control myself anymore. I said, "Don't talk nonsense again. Rainbow cake is not available in this town. It's twelve o'clock at night." Aayan said nothing. He stared at the empty mirror. After a while the calling bell rang. I opened the door and saw that Aayan's father had come. I asked, why did you return so late? And why didn't you pick up the phone? He said, I went to my colleague Asad's house. Today was his wedding anniversary. You don't even go anywhere. That's why I didn't tell you. And, the phone was hanging. It was fixed a while back. I was near home so I didn't call you. So he took off his shirt and went to wash his hands and face. Then, his phone in his shirt chest pocket rang. I answered, a girl's voice was heard on the other side. I said, who are you? She said, "I am Rimi. Did Brother Dayan return home properly?" I was too stunned to speak. Aayan also spoke of someone named Rimi. By that time, Aayan's father came in front of me. He took the phone and told her that he returned properly. He said, Rimi is the wife of my colleague Asad. I managed myself. Shame on me, What am I thinking? Then suddenly, Dayan said, Oh well, I forgot to show you the rainbow cake I brought for you. Look in my bag........
I was really shocked to see the rainbow cake. It was as if someone had stopped my breathing. I stared fixedly at Dayan. Dayan said, "what happened? Why are you doing this? Eat the cake." I couldn't handle myself anymore. "I am in such a hurry to eat cake? Why notThe sooner I die, the better for you. Will you make me eat poisoned cake and marry Rimi?"
Dayan said, "what are you talking like crazy? And where did Rimi come from? I saw Rimi for the first time in my life today. Why would anyone have poison?"
I could not believe any of the words of Dayan. Shaking with anger, I said, "I will immediately complain to the police."
Maybe I really should have called the police that day. But, before that, Dayan himself ate the rainbow cake in front of me. He said, "where is the poison? Did something happen to me?"
Then I got my senses back. Dayan called his friend Asad. Said, to give to Rimi. Then he told Rimi everything openly. Hearing this, Rimi cried. Asad also got angry for slandering his wife like that. Dayan asked me in an angry voice, "who told you this? That brat Ayan?
I refused. Because Aayan had been punished by Dayan for saying such strange things before So, I don't want to put him in danger today. I will punish him later. I apologized to Dayan. I cried. I didn't let the matter escalate.
The next day I went to Ayan's room to interrogate him. I saw the door closed. I kept listening and what is he doing in the room... I saw him crying a lot. Like lamentation. And, what is he saying.Even if I don't understand everything, what I understand is that he is asking someone for another chance. Crying and saying, give me one last chance.
(Who are you talking about?)He doesn't even have a phone. I brought the duplicate key to his room and slowly opened the door. I saw him sitting in front of the big mirror in his room, pretending to apologize and cryingIy called him, "why are you doing this?"
Ayan was shocked to see me like a ghost.
Since that day, his mirror disease has been cured. And, he does not sit in front of the mirror. He goes to school every day. He comes home and does his homework. And he is like a 5-year-old child. But he is always very sad.
After spending six months like this, I forced him to see a psychiatrist. He is a very famous doctor. I went and saw several other patients waiting like us. The doctor wanted to talk to Ayan alone. So, I sat in the waiting zone. I also had a little conversation with the lady sitting next to me. She said that she came for her daughter. Her name is Crystal. The girl has been crying a lot lately. But, if you ask why, she say, "I don't know." Crying a lot but don't know why. Denies and crying later.
The lady pointed to me and showed me a girl standing on the balcony of the clinic. She is standing and eating ice cream. She looks completely normal. In the meantime, Ayan left the doctor's cabin. Suddenly, Ayan looked at the balcony and ran towards the girl named Crystal. Crystal's mother and I went back and forth. Ayan went and held Crystal's hand. He said, "do you recognize me?" Crystal was scared of such a sudden incident. She said, "No I don't know you. Let go." But, Ayan kept shouting the same thing over and over again that the girl should recognize him. By that time, 2 employees of the clinic came and tried to free Ayan's hand. But, 2 adults were not able to deal with him. He pushed them and threw them away. Meanwhile, Crystal started crying in fear. At that time, Dr. Fatema herself came out of the cabin and said to Ayan, "Ayan, let go of her hand. She is not running away anymore. How do you know her first? your friend read in your class?" Crystal's mother said, "No, my daughter is studying in a girls' school." Ayan said, "I really know her."
Dr. Fatema said, "Well, if you know her, tell me first what her name is?" Now Ayan remained silent. She looked helpless. Letting go of Crystal's hand, he said, "Let's go home, mother."
Dr. Fatema called me to her cabin for 5 minutes. She said, "Don't worry. He has entered the new teenageIt is normal to like someone at this age. This girl's appearance may be similar to the appearance of one of her girlfriends."
I was surprised. I said, "my son is a child. He does not look at any girls. What are you saying?"
The doctor sighed and said, "No one is a baby in 14 years. You better take care of him."
I am returning home by Ayan rickshaw. I will ask him about this but I don't know how to start. Ayan suddenly said, "Well, mother, do you love your husband?"
I sighed and said, "How much will I teach you ,Ayan? Don't address your father like this."
"Will it hurt you too much if he dies, mother?"
I wanted to slap Ayan on the cheek. But, I understood that he is mentally distracted. Ayan said again, "You better leave him mother. He has character problems. I can give you proof."
I couldn't bear it anymore. I slapped him on the cheek. "Shut up, you naughty boy."
.......
Crystal is preparing to sleep in her room. No way she can forget today's incident. This boy must be crazy. Indeed, it is a place for madmen. Why did her mother took her there? Crystal tries to remember that sometimes she cries a lot. She doesn't remember. Crystal fell asleep thinking about this. In the middle of the night Crystal suddenly woke up after hearing a knock on the door. She turned on the light of the room. She saw the door open. Then where did such a strange sound come from? Crystal noticed that someone was making the noise on the glass. The window of her room was made of glass. She got scared. Their house is seven floors. And, there are no houses around. So?How could someone make a noise at the window? Crystal decided to leave the room. But, while going out, she was surprised when she looked at the dressing mirror. There was a boy standing in that mirror. He was trying to say something from inside. But, no sound is coming. So, he knocks loudly on the mirror. (Was this boy who pulled me by the hand in the hospital?)Crystal fainted from fear….
To be continued...
Crystal is sitting. In front of Dr. Fatema. Dr. Fatema heard all the events of last night from Crystal's mother. She said to Crystal, "You saw a boy inside the mirror of your room."
"Was that the boy who disturbed you?"
Crystal nodded yes. She laughed and said, "Listen, that boy suddenly grabbed your hand yesterday, so you were scared. And, when we are too scared, our brain gets distracted. It sees wrong things. You have seen the same. If you get enough sleep and rest, this hallucination will go away." Crystal nodded again.
Her mother came back home with Crystal. Mother is preparing to cook many interesting dishes today. Father is also very happy. Mother told that "Your elder brother will come tomorrow from Florida. So, start decorating the house from now. "
Crystal is listening in surprise because today she heard for the first time that she has an elder brotherThere is nothing in her memory.
..........
Ayan is sitting in front of his father. I told Ayan's father many times that "you go to the office. I will scold the boy." But Dayan did not listen to me. Dayan checked all accounts of Ayan's today. There are no Maths, English, etc. What are the strange things he draw? In all the subjects Ayan has always been a bad student. But, I did not think that he would do that. Ayan's father(Dayan) is looking at Ayan with angry eyes. Ayan is also looking at his father's eyes. Dayan is lowering his eyes again and again. Because, one cannot look at Ayan's eyes for a long time. He said, "I am surprised to see your courage. By spending so much money, I buy you books and notebooks to draw the heads of these umbrellas?"
Dayan bullied Ayan for almost half an hour. But, Ayan didn't answer. Dayan got more angry at this. Ayan's books were burnt. He looked at me and said, "why is he being so rude as my son?"
Ayan said in a cold voice, "I have said before, I am not your son again. And, I am not saying this out of anger. It is true. So, you do not claim yourself as my father again and again, it makes me angry."
Saying these words, Ayan went to his room. Dayan looked at me and said, "He calls you Mother , why don't he call me father?" I looked at Dayan. Is he doubting me?
