‘-A slim body like me is stuck in the handcuffs of such a strong body. It seems that someone has put clothes in the sun to dry them on the rope. If you fall, you will be crushed. It is certain that your bones and waist will not be strong. ‘

Moumi closed her eyes tightly, covering her words in her mind. Seeing Moumi in such a state, Meherab looked at her with narrow eyes. Then he said,
‘-Shall I throw it away? Or will you stand up straight?’

Moumi stood up straight, trembling at the difficult question in Meherab’s serious voice. She did not trust this man. Because, when he said, he did what he said. It turned out that he really threw her away! Meherab took a small breath, passed by Moumi, went up two stairs and stopped. Then he turned back and said to Moumi,

‘-Don’t play twelve songs by singing such a distorted song. Later, people will say that she has jaundice. And you are the main culprit of that jaundice. ‘

After saying these words, Meherab took a short breath and went to his room without standing for a moment. On the other hand, Meherjan Moumi stood there like a fool after hearing what Meherab said.

‘-Come here instead of standing there like a fool. ‘

Moumi quickly came towards her after hearing Anika’s words. Then, with a big smile, she sat down next to her and said,

‘-Oh, big mother. Am I really causing jaundice of music? ‘

Anika Subhan laughed out loud at Moumi’s words. In such a midday, Ayman Khan came out of the room to the sound of his wife Anika’s laughter. Sultana and Anamika came out of the kitchen with him. On the other hand, Ayman came to the drawing room and sat on the sofa in front of Anika and Moumi. Then he said to his wife and niece,

‘-Why are you laughing so loudly in this midday? What is the reason? Did the jinn come and haunt you? What are you laughing about? I heard you say that. ‘

Anika Subhan, overcome with laughter, cannot answer Ayman Khan’s words. She just keeps laughing. On the other hand, Sultana and Anamika are also silent. Both of them just keep smiling with their hands on their faces. On the other hand, Ayman Khan is still sitting with his face puffed up with folded hands. Ayman Khan says again,

‘-What is it, Ayman? What happened to you? Why are you sitting like this with a heavy face? And why can’t your elder mother even talk because of laughter? What happened? Tell me a little.’

By this time, Ayman opened her mouth. She started saying with a dirty face,

‘-Look, elder father. I was singing such a beautiful song. But, in the middle, Meherab Bhaiya made my mood swing. ‘

‘-What did he say? Where did he get the courage to swing my mother’s mood? What did Meherab say? Tell me.’

‘-I was singing a song. After listening to that song, your Damra son Meherab Khan said that I was making the song jaundice by singing the lyrics upside down. ‘

‘-Does the song also get jaundice? Alas, alas, I didn’t know that before. Well, you should listen to the song first. ‘

Anika somehow managed to hold back her laughter and said to Moumi,

‘-Yes, yes Moumi! Let your elder father listen to the song a little.’

Saying this, Anka tried to hold back her laughter by covering her face with her hand. On the other hand, Moumi Anika’s lyrics are in the song,

‘You didn’t say it
I didn’t understand
So I didn’t even dream of it
I’m arrogant
Oooooooooo
I’m arrogant
Your arrogance’ …..

Now, hearing Moumi’s song, Ayman Khan himself laughed along with his wife. Seeing Ayman Khan laughing too, Moumi looked at him with narrowed eyes and said,

‘-Surprise! Big Daddy, are you laughing too? You are all rotten, no one is good, no one. ‘

When Moumi was about to get up from her seat after saying these words, Anika held her hand and said,

‘- My sweetheart is angry. Okay, I won’t laugh anymore. I’ll shut up. ‘

After saying these words to Moumi, Anika Subhan said to her husband,

‘-Okay, you won’t laugh anymore. Okay. ‘

Ayman Khan immediately pressed his finger to his mouth and said,

‘-Okay, I’ll shut up and not laugh anymore. ‘

Anika Subhan now said to Moumi,

‘-Wash your hands and face and come. It’s almost noon and the afternoon is approaching. There’s no need to eat or drink! ‘

Moumi got up from her seat like a obedient girl at the words of Anika Subhan and went to her room. On the other hand, Anika got up and got busy setting the table with Anamika and Sultana. One by one, everyone came and sat at the dining table. On weekends, everyone in the Khan family sits together for lunch. Otherwise, no one eats together except for dinner.

Sultan and Ahsan Khan are sitting on either side of elder brother Ayman. Mizan is sitting next to Sultan Khan and Shukhan is sitting next to Ahsan Khan on the opposite side of him. Sultana is sitting next to Shukhan. Anamika is sitting on the chair next to Mizan. One of the remaining three chairs is the mehrab. Her mother Anika Subhan is sitting on one of the two chairs on either side of the mehrab, while Moumi is standing in front of the chair kept near the mehrab on the opposite side. Seeing Moumi standing like this, Mehrab frowns at her.
