  Doomsday to Doomsday  
    Zane Alam Tuheen  
 

Oh! A strong wind just passed their small wooden house, which is surrounded by lots of fruit trees and bamboos. May be this is the way Allah is saving the poor people. Amina came back to reality and took Rina and Rahima to the Chowdhury Villa; she knows Mina will take care of her house. The villa was already been crowded; it’s not been allowed to get into the Villa. So Amina choose a corner with her two bare footed daughters. Actually, they were doing fine and they had nothing but happiness in their life but a bad storm came and took the ecstasy from her life. Kalim MIA was fired from his job because he wasn’t regular in his job. It was a doomsday for this family. Amina knows that Allah is giving her a hard time to examine her patience, and she has to prove her endurance. After all these happenings on her life, Amina was strong in mind. She asked Kalim MIA to go to the town and find another job without loosing heart and Kalim Mia went to the town and that was the last time Amina saw Kalim.

Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh is not a big one comparing to other capitals of Asia but it’s one of the crowded one and no one can say it’s not challenging to cope up with the system here in Dhaka. Kalim was sleeping in his room; he took this room with a rent of 200 Taka. Kalim was thinking of his life, his past, every dream was coming out of his mind. The day when he came here in this town and the day he came here without a job were too different. He had 50 Taka in his pocket; he was looking for a job. He didn’t find anything although he tried heart and soul. In the afternoon he went to a restaurant, which was beside the Gulistan road, he took a plate of rice and an egg. He ate all the rice voraciously without watching the dust coming out from the road. Hunger is the best sauce was true for Kalim at that moment. Kalim started to move again. He was passing by the sahabag road, suddenly two guy appeared in a rush and beat him mercilessly and snatched rest of the money from him, they kept beating him and asked him to gave them more money. Kalim was crying and asking them, “ Please let me go, I don’t have any money; I am a poor guy.” But who is going to listen to this simple Kalim. He had no power to save himself. Kalim was surprised to see a policeman standing right next to the scene; he was chewing something and concentrating on cleaning his ear. Kalim was bleeding; he was almost out of his normal sense. He couldn’t remember anything except a sweet voice. That was Joynab, wife of Kasem. Kasem saw Kalim lying on the walking street and took him to the government hospital. There he gave some money to a man for his admission, otherwise nobody cares for a patient.

“How do you feel now”, asked Joynab? Kalim was thinking of this place and the person talking to him. Is he dead? Is he in Heaven? Kalim saw a beautiful lady standing in front of her; she must be an angel, Kalim assumed. Joynab was smiling to see Kalim’s surprising face. Kalim was going to stand up at once to show his respect to an angel, Joynab restricted him to do that. “You are not yet ready to stand on your feet, you need rest”. Thank God you are safe, you were almost dead. My husband saved you. Now Kalim realized that he is still alive. “Sukur al-hamdulillah”, said Kalim in a whispering voice. Kalim asked Joynab with a shameful voice, “Can I go to the bathroom, it’s emergency”. Joynab burst out laughing, Kalim thought in him, only an angel can laugh like that; he couldn’t move his eyes from her. Joynab asked a girl to give Kalim a bedpan and she gave him privacy for his natural work. Kalim was still thinking why did she laugh? Kalim was feeling free. He called Joynab again. Now he wants to know everything, Joynab described how did he come here. Kalim said, “Where is your husband, I want to say my Thanks to him. How can I repay what he has did to me?” What a fortune, Kalim got a room in Kasem’s house, and also he got a job with Kasem as a partner. Kasem taught him driving and he learned to drive quickly. Soon he began to earn money and he started pay the rent every month. He was thinking of sending money to Amina but he was also thinking of making a lot of money to buy his own taxi. Days were going on smoothly, but joy doesn’t want to be steady in a place. One morning Kasem found out that his car’s parts has been stolen. Kasem didn’t get upset because he knew who is the thief; he has been living in this area for 7 yeears. So everybody knows him as a good man and he knows everybody here. H went to the nearest club and asked Kana Babul about the stolen car. Kana Babul was the top terrorists on that area. Kana Babul told Kasem not to show up his face in this club again. He threatened him not to talk about it anymore or he will kill him. Kasem went to the police station to ask for justice. The police inspector was taking his breakfast; he said with a careless voice, “ How do you know Kana Babul did this.” Kasem said, “ He is the only culprit who is terrorizing in this area, you know that as much as others do and he threatened me when I accused him.” The police inspector said, “O.K Police will do their job, now go home. It’s my breakfast time.” That evening police went to the club and broke some glasses, Kana Babul escaped before police came. Police arrested some innocent young boys who were playing cricket in the street. Kalim wasn’t home; he came home in the afternoon to take his launch. Kasem told him everything, Kalim said, “I don’t think you did the right job here, informing the police because the police will do nothing and Kana Babul will be angry on you and he will try to harm you later on.” Kasem said, “ I am not afraid of Kana Babul, I want justice.” Kalim knows Kasem very well; he is a simple honest man. Now Kalim is more experienced than Kasem about this city. He wasn’t happy with Kasem’s word, he knew something was going to happen soon.
