Episode 4 (End)

In winter, cold and fog levels are more intense at night than during the day. Even though it is evening after the afternoon, darkness descends in nature. As the evening approaches, it seems to be late night. And in the late night, the cold fog and darkness combine to create a terrifying atmosphere. It's twelve thirty at night. It is raining heavily with thick fog all around. The light of the torch line in the hand and the light of the head line on the head mixed in the darkness and created a faint yellowish light. Dakhina overcomes the gust of wind and within five minutes Ujjal and his colleagues reach the abandoned sewer.

_____________

After some time passed, but Shahriar was not seen, Rahat said in an annoyed voice,

"Ah, where is Shahriar? And what are you doing so late at night? In this abandoned place!"

Suhas sat on the side of a high mound of earth and said in a quick voice, "Bataye Fazlami kills us? You are not alone. And we are sitting in the dead cold with the smell of sewers in our noses."

Ujjwal took a look around and did not see anything to be seen. However, the yellow light of the torch light shone towards the sewer. It seemed that there was a pile of clothes floating there or something was wrong with his eyes. As the light was turned towards them as a friend called to show a pile of bright sewer clothes, they saw a figure running in the distance. Everyone else was careful to be in their own place at the sound of running. Who is running like this at night! Everyone turned their attention to the road to see it.

As the figure came closer, Ujjwal held the light and said, "Hey Shahriar, where have you been? Since when have you been looking for you. What about you? Hey, don't run so fast."

Without hearing anything from Ujjwal, Shahriar ran to the place next to the drain and started digging the ground quickly.

Seeing Shahriar's actions like this, the five people who were present stood beside Shahriar with great curiosity.

Rahat said to Shahriar, "What are you doing, how stinking and dirty the soil here is, why are you starting to dig?"

Shahriar continued to dig the ground at a fast speed without giving any answer. Before Ujjwal came and grabbed Shahriar's hand, a clenched hand came out of the hole in the ground.

Everyone looked at each other's faces from their hands. Ujjwal continued to watch Shahriar's activities with bright incredulous eyes. After ten minutes of digging to quell everyone's eagerness, Shahriar pulled out a dead body and hugged it to her chest and started crying. Shahriar's screams and shaking from the cold. The hairs on the body of Rahat, Suhas, Syed, Ujjbal and Shamser stood on end. In this way, a lot of time passed in the sound of crying, rain, dewdrops of fog and the intensity of the wind...

Ujjwal placed his hand on Shahriar's shoulder and asked her, "Who is this?"

Shahriar's trembling was corrected by a lifeless voice,

"Your future, Sharat."

Everyone else, including Ujjwal, looked at the dead body with surprised eyes.

Without looking at Ujjal, Shahriar said in a broken voice after a couple of minutes, "After talking to you about Lucy that day, I felt like I was really cheating Sarat. Only Lucy's smiling face came to my mind. Sarat's face never came to my heart. As soon as I went to the quarter, I decided on the street that I will go home and tell Sharat about the divorce. Even if she doesn't want to, I will force her to leave here. But I went to the quarter and saw the room door open. Then I entered the room. I saw how quiet the surroundings were. I went to the bed room without thinking about anything. I saw my old phone from a couple of years ago lying on the side of the room door, and I saw how messy my study table was. Looking around the room, I saw Sarat sitting on the floor on the left side. Suddenly, my heart started to feel scared, but I didn't let it show in my face Autumn must have found out about my relationship with Lucy!”

After saying this, Shahriar stopped and began to caress Sarat's face.

Everyone who was standing beside Shahriar was listening to Shahriar in surprise. They never imagined that a boy like Shahriar would also walk in their path. Although everyone was surprised, he sat on the ground after looking at the bright lifeless eyes and guessed something. He looked at the face of the dead body named Sarat -

No! No! That innocent girl is his future, younger but like his sister! He is not a dead body, he is just useless in Shahriar's chest!

Shaking Sharat's face, Shahriar began to say again - "That day I realized that I had cheated Sharat. But even then, Lucy's charming smile and fit face were shining in my eyes. I turned my attention away from Sharat and coldly told her about the divorce. Sharat is one." Another question plagued me. At one point in his speech, he called me a cheat. I got angry and insulted Sarat I hit one after another. I explained that she is worthless to me without looks and money. The girl cried a lot and said all the things she had not said for so many years. I heard that no good words came to my mind except to insult her. I spoke and he silently accepted it.

Unable to keep patience, she asked Ujjwal Shahriar in an angry voice - "Then why did you kill Sarat? She accepted everything!"

Shahriar hugged Sharat tighter to her chest and said in a sobbing voice, "Believe me, I didn't want to kill her. I left her at home and called her out of the quarters to break Lucy's standards. Lucy spoke to me angrily at first but then calmed down. .”

Lucy in autumn behaviorAfter listening to said,

"That girl accepted everything quietly, Shahriar? Don't you feel angry? I think she is planning something inside! Maybe she is planning to destroy you by finding your job!"

Shahriar then listened carefully to Lucy and said, remembering the doubt, "Areh, no omen girl, not Sarat. Look, it will be gone tomorrow, there will be no problem."

Lucy is not happy with Shahriar's answer but within two hours she has Shahriar trapped in her web of words. Shahriar is able to understand how Sharat is desperate to harm her. That's why she is so quiet!

At first, Shahriar ignores Lucy's words, but later she worries about the matter. Shahriar's mind is broken by the worry of losing her job.

______________

Arriving at the quarters about three o'clock in the morning, I started quarreling with Sarat myself, as Lucy had said. Sarat was very sick that day. How pale her body looked. Seeing Sarat's plight, I quarreled for fear of my future. Sarat sat down to pray Tahajjud without saying anything to cut off the quarrel. Meanwhile, I looked at Sarat with anger. Sarat's calm face made me doubt, to save myself from harm and Lucy's words excited me to wrap her neck around her lying on the bed. Sarat then returned the salam and finished the prayer with La ilaha illallahu muhammadur rasulullah (pbuh) and went to lower her hands. Then Sharat looked up and saw me. The girl didn't say a word. The girl smiled gently and closed her eyes even though Sarat did not say anything due to the pressure on her throat. You know for once he didn't beg for salvation. You never told me I love you. I didn't even give you a chance to say anything else. Due to the excessive pressure on the throat, along with the weakness of the body, after a while, Autumn's body fell limply like a chicken and fell to the ground. But a smile on his lips, it seems! He seems to be saying Shahriar, you are a loser!

I was horrified to see Autumn's lifeless body. I quickly called Lucy and told her about the accident. She consoled me on a video call and we both planned how to dispose of the body.

Even after suffocating, Lucy doubts if Autumn will survive, so despite my reluctance to please Lucy, I hit Autumn five times in the stomach with a fruit stick. After confirming Autumn's death, I put it in a polythene bag and bury it next to an abandoned sewer. No one will come here in fear. And because it is dirty, I leave it here thinking that it will be neglected for some time and then the corpse will also rot. Ardhangini's dead body."

Shahriar started crying loudly.

Hearing Shahriar's murder, Rahat, Suhas, Syed and Shamser shed tears in their eyes. They are also guilty. They started hating themselves. Looking at Sarat's face, everyone's heart started storming - thinking, if only their wives were there today!

The tears in Ujjal's eyes broke. He can understand the face of autumn and the pain of his death. He thinks that if his younger sister was there today, what would happen!

Looking at Shahriar, she said in a broken voice, "Your work is done, but why did you come to save her today? You will be married to Lucy. You will be happy. So why did you come here today? Only to regret that Lucy cheated?"

After listening to Ujjwal, Shahriar laid Sarat on the ground with her chest and said, "Sharat was three months pregnant with Ujjwal. I didn't know! This girl didn't tell me."

As soon as Shahriar's words were heard, the livers of all present, including Ujjwal, were filled with tears. This time, tears started to flow at a double speed. No one said a word.

Shahriar again raised her hands in a trembling voice and said, "With these two hands I have killed my child. I myself have put a spear in the heart of my unborn child. I have committed a sin! I have killed my part!"

She cooked for me all day. He wanted to surprise me with this good news after cleaning the house and wearing a saree. But this cruel sinner tyrant, I killed that girl with my own hands and shocked her. Not only that, I killed her because I did not have peace by hurting her. I am a sinner! I am guilty! I'm a tyrant!"

With Shahriar's cries and cries, the temperature of the winter night felt like a hot day on the sand of the desert. Seeing Shahriar's cry, everyone present sat on the ground. He realized that he would never be happy.

_____________

Standing in front of everyone in the hall, a tall old man took off his glasses and wiped his tears. He stood in front of all the soldiers and said in a lifeless voice, "After Sarat's death, we returned to the quarters and arranged for the body to be buried. Everyone knew about the murder. But everyone was told that it was suicide. After hearing the real story of this murder, no wife would have believed her husband. It became silent. I gave Shahriar the second hand bike left by Sharat. That day Shahriar was looking at me in surprise - maybe his eyes were asking, "Why are you giving me the bike?"

I said to Shahriar in a low voice, "Sharat bought this bike with his saved money. He sold his necklace and got the money and told me to keep it a secret. Maybe he was ready to surprise you that day."

That day Shahriar looked at the ground and took the bike key in her hand. After that I never saw her smile. One day I went with the investigation team in an accident case. There.That's how I came to know that a girl named Lucy died brutally in an accident and there was no way to recognize her face. I was sure that it was Shahriar's Lucy. The answer to another question may be flashing in your mind - actually I had sent the personal pictures of Lucy to Shahriar's Facebook Messenger by force. After that my posting was done in Khulna. Shahriar came here once. I went to Sarat's parents with me. I asked them for forgiveness. Sarat's parents were devastated after hearing about Sarat's death and blamed themselves again and again. That was the last time I spoke to Shahriar after returning from Sarat's house. I didn't know that it might be our last meeting. After returning from Khulna, I did not find Shahriar. No one knows where he has gone."

Taking a long breath, the brilliant new recruit said to the soldiers, "Listen to the story and learn from it. Rahat, Suhas, Syed Bhai and Shamser Sahib have changed after Shahriar's life. They have corrected their mistakes. If you ever make such a mistake, you may get out of here. It may not be. Allah will give you as much as He has provided for you. Greed destroys people. This is proved again through Shahriar. Be restrained and engaged in the service of the country and the people. Never take a dangerous path like Shahriar. Happy is he who is content with little."

After finishing his speech, Ujjwal came down from the stage and stood on the bank of a pond in a deserted place, remembering Shahriar and his memories. The hidden truth will be revealed one day or another, but how deeply this revealed truth can hurt is beyond human imagination!
