Episode 1

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........
