6th September: A Very Unknown Mysterious Story by Salman Aziz (novel books to read txt) 📖

Aabrar – “Nothing dad! Just asking! If you had a tour in Cox’s bazar then I will tell you to bring there’s special pickle that only made in there!”

His dad laughed!

Dad – “Ok son! If I have any next tour on Cox’s bazar then I will bring many pickles for you!”

Aabrar – “Thank you dad! (With smiley face)”

Dad – “You welcome son!”

They had as usual evening time together by watching TV shows, taking tea and snacks together and talking on each other’s day.

Aabrar’s mom entered to the room with tea cups and some snacks on a big tray. In that day his mom made some vegetable chops called Pakorah (In Bangla) for snacks. His mom served the snacks first and then the tea cups. They ate the Pakorah and took the tea together.

Aabrar’s mom – “Did you know honey your son argued with me today?”

Aabrar’s dad – “What honey? On which reason he argued with you?”

Aabrar’s mom – “You want to know! Then listen, your loving son doesn’t want to take milk from today. Please say something about it to your beloved son. Cause I am so tired to scream about it. Only few days are remaining for his semester exams, so he needs strength to remember his study. But who hears whose talks!”

Dad – “Is that true Aabrar that you don’t want to take the milk?”

Aabrar – “Yes dad! Because milk’s strange smell really makes me vomit. I refused it to take but after mom’s scream on it, I told her that I will take it.”

Dad said, “Alright!” to his son.

Dad – “Where he did refuse to take the milk, honey? He is telling me that he will take it. (Took the side of Aabrar)”

Aabrar’s mom – “Whatever! Sometime your son argues too much with me. Tell him not to do that.”

Aabrar’s dad – “Ok Aabrar, I don’t want to hear any complaint from your mom again that you’ve argued with her.”

Aabrar – “Ok dad, I won’t! (With silent voice)”

Aabrar sometime argued with his mom for something, which is not liked by him. But from tomorrow his promise will be kept forever. So Aabrar didn’t talk too much. Silently he watched the TV and saw his mom and dad talking to each other. After finishing his tea, he took the cup in the kitchen and washed it. He kept the cup on the table and went back to his room.

It was 6:45 PM! All heard the Magreeb’s Aajan (Calling for prayer) from the Masjid. His father was a religious person. So was his mom. They performed the every day’s five time prayers. Mr. Rahman turned off the TV and went to his room to perform the Namaj (Pray for Allah). Mrs. Celina also went to perform the Namaj to the guest room nearby Aabrar’s room.

Often their relatives from other city came to visit them and stayed in the guest room. Mostly they came when his father was on his office tour. His father told his younger brother and his family to visit when he went for a tour. Cause he didn’t want to leave his family alone with no male guardian. Sometime Aabrar had to share his room with his relatives.

Aabrar hardly performed the five times Namaj in the day but he never missed the Friday’s Jummah’s Namaj in the Masjid. But today he secretly performed the Namaj in his closed room. From today’s night he might not able to perform any Namaj in his life.

He cleaned himself and sat to pray. During performing the Namaj, he cried. He begged forgiveness from almighty Allah for all his sins and also for his today’s sin that he is going to do. Cause in the holy Quran it is clearly written that if anyone kill someone or kill own self then it will be the biggest sin of them all and the sinner must be burnt in hell fire forever. He believed in that but nothing to do! Cause it was very difficult to breathe any longer for him.

With tones of pains buried inside his heart and so many untold things that he had faced in his life. He couldn’t live like a living dead. When he remembered those things, the pains rose in his chest and he couldn’t control himself from self-harm.

His parents were totally unaware about this, because Aabrar never shared anything about those things that hurt him a lot. He was struggling with himself alone to overcome this, but failed! So he had to take this decision to kill himself silently to get away from all the pains that hunted him in every moment.

After finishing the Namaj he wiped his tears and washed his face not to show the red crying eyes in front of his parents. Then he began to read a novel called Hajar Bochhor Dhore by Zahir Raihan. He had read it when he was in class ten. But today his mind wanted to read it again, especially the death sequence of Kashem’s first wife.

Aabrar’s dad was taking little rest in his bedroom and his mom was cooking foods for the dinner.

Aabrar certainly felt that he was so into the character. Kashem’s first wife committed to suicide silently, because she had so many pains buried in her heart. She killed herself to free from his husband’s life, because she couldn’t make her husband happy anymore with a child. When his husband married another woman with the permission of her, at that night while her husband having bridal sweet night with his new wife, she killed herself by eating a poisonous flower. Page after page, Aabrar read the entire chapter.

It was almost 7:30 PM. The sky was already dark with no lights. Some birds and bats were flying outside from one place to another. Aabrar felt that before killing himself he should get himself clean. So he began to pare his toe’s and finger’s nails. Then he went into the bathroom and cleaned his nails with liquid hand wash. The brush was wet with liquid hand wash and he rubbed his nails well with it.

He took off his t-shirt and made wet his facial hairs with cold water. He put shaving cream on his face and shaved off his beard and mustache. Unfortunately he cut his face by the razor. Blood came out and dribbled on the sink but he didn’t have the feelings. He rubbed liquid Savlon on his face but still he didn’t feel the pain that as usual people got when they put Savlon on injured place. Few times later bleeding stopped. He splashed his face with cold water and came back to his room. He looked so fresh after shaving his facial hairs. As usually he didn’t like to shave his facial hairs but he trimmed it often. He loved the shaggy style. That’s why he maintained the style on his daily routine.

All those ideas before killing own self he got from an Indian biopic movie called The Dirty Picture where the actress Vidya Balan portrayed as Silk who killed herself in the movie. Before attempting to suicide, she cleaned herself and got well dressed. Also she put makeup like an Indian bride before killing herself. The scene was remembered by Aabrar. That’s the reason why he wanted to die like a well-dressed clean guy.

His mom called him from the dinner room, “Aabrar, dinner is ready! Please come as fast as possible.” Aabrar got thrilled when he got the call. Cause he was not in his normal mind.

He looked at the wall clock; it was almost 8:30 PM. He was just amazed and began to think, “How fast the time passes!”

Aabrar replied his mom’s call, “Yes mom! I am coming.” He recalled that he also had few hours to live his last moments.

Before going to the dinner room, Aabrar put on a white t-shirt and went to the dinner room. There he saw that his mom cooked egg curry, white rice and smashed lentil pulse, those were on the dinner table. He could see that the vapor was coming out from the recently cooked foods. He sat on the chair and took a plate. Few moments later his dad came and sat on the master chair where he always sat. His mom served the rice and smashed lentil pulse first. They began to eat. His mom also sat on a chair which nearby to his dad’s seat and took a plate. She also took some rice and smashed pulse too.

Dad – “See Aabrar! Your mom is the best for making the smashed lentil! The aroma of this food is so great and also so tasty.”

Aabrar – “Yes dad! Mom is the best for it!”

Mom – “All right! All right! You people are really making me blush! I learnt it from my mother! My mother is far better than me when she made this food. When we were young, our mother made this on every day’s dinner. Hot white rice with this smashed lentil pulse was so great to eat. I just miss those days and our mom’s cooked foods!”

Aabrar – “Yes mom! I also miss grandma’s cooked foods! I wish if she was as before as healthy and strong!”

Mom – “Everything went wrong if she wasn’t sick and didn’t get any heart attack. Now she is so feeble to move barely from her bed.”

Dad – “I also miss her coconut cake she used to make in every winter! Why you didn’t learn that food from mother? If you learnt it from her then you could make it for us!”

Mom – “Yeah, I should! When I’ll go to meet her next time, I’ll learn it from her. Hey, why you guys are not taking the egg curry?”

Aabrar’s mom served the egg curry to her husband and her son.

Aabrar was faking all the talk and emotions toward his parents. His food hardly went through his throat. He swallowed the food with much pain, because he couldn’t tell that it was his last dinner with them. His tears almost busted from his eyes when he saw them, but he didn’t want it to come out.

Certainly his father noticed his son’s face. He saw that a small cut has placed on his lower chin with little dry blood.

Dad – “What happened with your face son? How did you cut your face?”

Aabrar – “It happened when I was shaving my facial hairs. Unfortunately my hand slipped and I got cut.”

Dad – “Did you put some Savlon on it?”

Aabrar – “Yes dad, I did.”

Dad – “Be careful when you are shaving with razor. Cause you can see the result what can be happened if you get little careless when you are shaving. (Advising voice)”

Aabrar – “Yes dad, I will keep it in my mind!”

Dad – “By the way son, you look so fresh and good! Always do the clean shave, you will look more handsome. I also do the clean shave. (Dad laughs)”

Aabrar’s mom instantly replied, “Ah! Who says my son doesn’t look so handsome? (She attacked her husband by the words) My son is the world most handsome man! And you (She pointed to her husband) don’t need to do the clean shave, you are getting old. So who will see your face! (Mom laughs)”

Dad – “You are really embracing me honey! I do it only for you; at least you can notice me for while! (Dad laughs loudly)”

Mom – “Ok! Ok! You shouldn’t tell it in front of our son. He is grown up! You should at least keep little privacy. As you are getting old, you are just getting out of control.”

Dad – “What have I done now? I just did little fun with you! Shouldn’t I, Aabrar?”

Aabrar – “Yes dad! Come on mom, please stop it now. Dad is getting embraced.”

Mom – “Ok! But he started it first! Whatever! Aabrar! Son, why are you not eating anything? I only can see, you are mixing your foods but not eating. Come on! Eat your meal fast! After
