Life in the midst of light and darkness

avatar

Today is a special day in my life. Many years ago I myself confronted this situation which is what my little son is feeling today. It is a common phenomenon that everyone sees himself in his child, I see myself similarly. Today my son was circumcised. This is a religious provision according to Islamic law. The boy is crying in pain, I am also having the discomfort inside for some unknown reason. All parents might have this feeling for their feeble child. This is perhaps the law of nature. This unwritten rule has been in practice for long and will go for ages.

The main content of my writing today is not my son’s circumcise rather a different topics. But the anecdote I was about to tell would not have been known if I had not gone to the hospital with my son today.

My car reached at the gate of the hospital. The concierge was opening the gate and we were waiting to enter. Suddenly, I noticed someone whacking in the window of my car. Turning to the right, I saw a young man with a full of unexpected hair in his head and the face full of beard and mustache looking at me. Before I could open the car window, the car entered through the gate and went inside. It is a common sight in Dhaka city to knock on car windows for money at any traffic signal by the panhandler. But for some unknown reason I couldn't forget this guy. The look in his big eyes was driving me away.

While studying at Intermediate these two years many friends are made and most are lost. Because many take admission in different places to study for Honors and many of them are never seen again in later life. But Sachin's case was different. Yes, I am talking about Sachin with whom I met unexpectedly at the gate of the hospital today. We all used to taunt Sachin saying that his eyes were mistakenly given to him by the creator instead of a girl. I could recognize him today because of those eyes. This is quite impossible for someone not to recognizing such an eye once seen.

Sachin was born and raised in a very aristocratic family in the Hindu community. We have heard stories that Sachin has never been second in exams in school life. His father was the principal of our college. That is why Sachin was admitted to our college. In his first year of college, he maintained the continuation of good result of his school life. But in the second year, a group of intemperate friends misled him and got derailed. Sachin, who was derailed that day, was so intoxicated that it was beyond my imagination. I couldn't believe my own eyes after so many years.

It was too late for the doctor to come, we arrived at the hospital a little earlier. I came out to meet that friend of mine. When I came out of the gate, I saw Sachin standing in front of a gentleman and begging to him. I called him from behind. Sachin turned around and looked at me and stared blankly for a while. His eyes were twinkling with intoxication. He doesn't have time to know me anymore. Every drop of blood on his body is urging him to beg to get the next drug. This is a strange life between light and darkness where there is no place for relatives and friends.

Rightly said brother. We don’t know our destiny. No, I didn’t help him because I never support drugs addiction. Good night bro.
