Lily came home and went straight to her room. Lily’s husband is an industrialist. Her husband, Rubel, is a very good husband. He has taken great care of Lily. He has never lacked anything. He always takes care of Lily’s well-being. Lily’s days were going well after marrying Rubel. She forgot about Niloy completely. She couldn’t think of Niloy as anything more than a coward. She never once thought about why the man who was so humane had suddenly changed. Why did Niloy refuse to accept Lily as his father had? Now she thinks that maybe her father did something that forced Niloy to reject Lily. He had returned Lily but had also ended his own life. Thinking about this, Lily cried loudly. She forgot that she was a mother. She took a fruit knife from the bedside table and started cutting her hand. The bed was filled with blood. Seeing the blood, Lily lost consciousness.
“Hello, sister-in-law, how are you?” Tania calls to ask.
“I’m fine. How are you all?”
“We are fine. How is Mom, sister-in-law?”
“Mom’s doing fine. You know, I met Lily today. She’s married to the guy her father chose. She was at the doctor’s for her pregnancy checkup.”
“Really? What a fool her brother was. He died for this girl. He never thought about us or Mom once. I don’t think she’ll ever be happy. You’ll see.”
“She seemed pretty happy to me. Anyway, may Allah keep everyone well. He will surely ease our sorrow. Okay, Tania, I’ll hang up now. I need to give Mom her medicine.”
“Take care of yourself, sister,” Tania said before ending the call.
“Nitu took the medicine to her mother-in-law. She fed her the medicine and sat with her for a while. The doctor said she needs to be accompanied more. She’s recovering very slowly with everyone’s care.”
When the maid entered the room and saw Lily’s condition, she screamed. Immediately, she called Rubel and informed him. As per Rubel’s instructions, everyone at home quickly took Lily to the hospital. Rubel came straight to the hospital from the office. She had lost a lot of blood. The baby’s heartbeat was very low, and Lily’s condition was also bad. Four bags of blood were immediately given. They asked for more blood. Rubel couldn’t understand why Lily had suddenly done this. Lily’s father, mother, everyone came to the hospital and was distraught. Rubel devoted all his time to Lily. He sat holding Lily’s hand all the time, forgetting to eat or drink. When Lily regained consciousness, she saw Rubel sitting holding her hand. Looking at Rubel’s face, Lily felt very sad. Lily realized that Rubel loved her very much. She had wronged Rubel by doing what she did. She hadn’t had the sense to consider the consequences at that time, but now, thinking about the baby, she touched her stomach. At Lily’s movement, Rubel woke up. Actually, the tired Rubel had fallen asleep holding Lily’s hand.
“What do you need? Tell me.”
Lily didn’t answer but turned away and closed her eyes. Only one thought was going through Lily’s mind, and that was that her father had done something that made Niloy refuse to accept her. She had to find out about that matter no matter what.
“Why did you do this, Lily? Don’t you know I can’t live without you?”
“You’ll live. You won’t die. You’ll live, and after a while, you’ll get married too, but you won’t die.”
“What are you saying?”
“I’m saying the right thing. If I’m not there, you won’t die. After a while, you’ll forget. You’ll get married again and start a family.”
Rubel was stunned to hear Lily’s words. He felt very lost. He didn’t say anything more. Today he would be discharging Lily from the hospital. His business. So, the responsibility is more. But he doesn’t care about that. He has strictly told all the office employees to work properly in his absence. If anything goes wrong, he will be fired directly.
Coming home, Lily lies down quietly. Rubel pays full attention to her. He wants to know why Lily did this. He thinks to himself that he didn’t take Lily to the doctor, so she didn’t get angry and do such a thing. He had said he would come in the evening. He explained that he had urgent work. At that time, she said there was no problem, so what happened? Suddenly, Rubel thinks he needs to talk to the driver. If he talks to the driver about why Lily did this, maybe he will find some clues.
“Rubel went downstairs and called the driver, Matin Mia.
‘Assalamualaikum, sir. Did you call me?’
‘Matin Mia, where else did your sister go after the doctor’s appointment that day?’
‘Yes, sir. My sister went to a house in Muhammadiya Housing but didn’t go inside. She only spoke to the house’s caretaker and then came back. After talking to the caretaker, my sister got into the car and kept her eyes closed as if she was dead.’
‘What did you hear them talking about?’
‘No, sir, I didn’t hear anything.’
‘Alright, come on. You take me to that house.’
‘Okay, sir. I’m starting the car. You come.’
Rubel came to Mubin’s house and learned from the gatekeeper the name of the landlord, how many boys and girls, etc. The younger son of the house also comes to know about Niloy’s death. He also knows that Niloy’s mother became mentally ill after her son’s death. In fact, housekeepers, janitors, drivers know everything about the house and like to increase their self-importance by flaunting that knowledge to others.
Rubel is a smart boy. He doesn’t understand that Lily had an affair with Niloy and that Lily did this for Niloy. Rubel was very angry at this thought. She had an affair with another boy before marriage and cheated on her without telling her about it. Now her child’s life is in danger again. He will not leave Lily and her father in his heart. They will be punished for this crime. I’ll wait until I have a baby then I’ll know who you’ve fooled.
-Listen Matin Mia, you will not tell anyone that I brought you here. Understand the meaning of someone? I don’t mean anyone, I remember that. Now go to the office.
– Yes, sir, I will remember. I will not tell anyone.
Suddenly everyone is surprised to see Rubel in the office. Enter the room and call the manager and ask him to give all the files. When the manager passes the file, the ruble sinks into the file.
