I was quite startled when I came to teach a student and found my own photo hanging on the wall of her house. This is my first day at this house. I don’t think they’ve ever seen me before. So how did my photo end up on the wall of this house? It seems very strange. I’ve been sitting here for a long time now. But I haven’t seen my student or anyone else in the house yet! Could I have come to the wrong address? A thousand questions were swirling in my mind.
Asif, new to this city, doesn’t know much about it. Through a friend, he arranged for a tutoring job so he could at least cover his own study expenses. But something strange happened to him here. This is his first time at this house. He had spoken to a lady on the phone. The address was indeed this one. So where did everyone disappear to?
Asif has been sitting on the sofa for a long time. This house also looks very strange. Most of all wondering how his picture came to this house? Is it Ado’s picture or someone else who looks exactly like him? When these questions are swirling in Asif’s mind, a woman comes in front of Asif. Asif noticed the woman and stood up from his seat and saluted. The woman received salam and asked Asif to sit.
– When did you become a father?
— Ji Aunty it’s been a long time. I did not see anyone at home. I thought you didn’t exist.
— Actually I was doing a job. Well you sit down I will go and bring Nijhum.
Saying this, the lady left. It seems strange to Asif. This woman did not react at all when she saw Asif. But the picture of Asif in this house! What is happening here? Is there an unknown secret hidden in it?
After a while the lady brought along a girl. Asif saw the girl and stood up. Such a beautiful girl! Asif can’t take his eyes off anything.
— Father and I have only one daughter, Nijhum. This is Inter Fast Year. Why are you standing?
Asif sat down. Lady and Nijhum also sit.
— Hey, I’ve been talking to you since when, but I don’t know your name. what is your name
— Ji Aunty my name is Asif.
Asif looked at the girl and saw a smile on her face. The girl looks more beautiful because of this smile.
– Will father teach today or not?
— No, aunty, I came to see if the address is correct. Well, aunty, I will get up today. I will come tomorrow.
– Go eat tea!
— Not today. I will not trouble you today. Get up today! See you tomorrow.
— Okay, be careful.
When Asif steps forward, he remembers that picture. So far he forgot to ask about the film. When he looks back to ask about the picture, he finds no one there. Asif became thoughtful. In a short time they went to their room? Make up your mind and ask tomorrow. So he glanced at the picture and went out of the house towards his house. While walking along the road, suddenly a sound of crying came to his ears. He glanced around once. But he doesn’t notice anything around. So it started moving forward again. Suddenly hearing the sound of Asif’s phone ringing, he put his hand in his pocket and took out the phone. And looking at the phone, Asif’s friend Niloy called.
— Say yes Niloy.
– Why was your phone off for so long?
— Where the phone was not off. It seems there was a network problem.
— oh well ok. So you went there?
— Yes, returning home now. You should come home quickly, I had to say something to you.
— I am at home, you go.
Then Asif hung up the phone and went home. Asif reached home in no time. Asif went to his room and saw Niloy sitting. Asif went and sat next to Niloy. He was a bit tired from walking for so long. Seeing Asif’s tired face, Niloy offered a glass of water to Asif and asked him to drink. Asif finished drinking a glass of water without saying a word.
– Kire Asif what happened to you? Why do you look like that?
— Actually feeling restless because of walking in the sun. Well listen, I want to tell you something.
— Say yes.
Now Asif told the events that happened there. After listening to Asif’s words, Niloy remained silent for a while and said,
— I heard that there are 7 people with the same appearance in the world. Maybe that’s it.
— But there is one thing that worries me. I didn’t see anything in them reacting the way they were supposed to react to me. They were supposed to be as surprised as I was. But I didn’t notice anything between them. They were talking to me very calmly. I noticed one more thing.
Asif’s friend is listening with great interest. After listening to Asif, he said with interest,
— What thing?
— I saw a strange smile on the girl’s face. But the girl is strangely beautiful. I was like, the first time I saw it.
– Well, I understand. You go there tomorrow and ask them about this picture. Then maybe I will find the answer.
–Okay.
Then Niloy got up and left. Asif lay down from sitting on the bed. Then he got a call from home.
– Hello, mother, how are you?
– I’m fine, father, how are you?
— I’m fine too.
Mother and son talk for a while. After talking, Asif cut the call. Looks like it’s night. Asif had dinner and slept in his bed. Asif fell asleep in no time. Asif suddenly woke up in the middle of the night feeling something heavy on his chest. Asif opened his eyes and saw that the whole house was dark. He can’t see anything in front of his eyes. Then he tried to get up. But for some reason he can’t get up. Asif was very scared. He suddenly sat down with a scream.
– What happened to you?
Asif looked past and saw his friend Niloy. Asif realizes that he had a bad dream. No answer is known as to why these things are suddenly happening to him. Asif fell asleep in no time. Asif wakes up in the morning and gets ready to go to university. The varsity is not far so he walks. As he was about to enter through the gates of the university, his eyes narrowed on a girl. The girl is none other than Nijhum. Asif is surprised to see Nijhum now. Asif sees that Nijhum is standing alone. So Asif goes to Nijhum.
— Hey Nijhum are you here?
– My same question sir! you now?
— I am newly enrolled in this university. But what are you doing now without going to college?
— I have come to work now. And sir you tell me what you do.
— Okay, no problem.
Asif suddenly felt the touch of someone’s hand on Asif’s shoulder and looked back. Asif sees his friend Niloy. Niloy said to Asif,
— What are you doing standing here?
– Didn’t I tell you yesterday about my student? talking to him
— What? are you crazy
— Why be mad? Let me introduce her.
Where did this girl suddenly go? Was it here for so long? Strange!
— What happened?
— I don’t understand anything, Nijhum was here for so long. Where did this girl suddenly disappear?
— Understood friend, you are in love with your student. So you can see him everywhere. Come now or you won’t be allowed to enter the class.
Saying this, Niloy started taking Asif. Asif was speechless. How does he see such a big mistake? Nijhum talks to him. It is really wrong in his mind! Or something else?
In a while, the two went to class. After finishing the class like today, Asif left for that house. He reached that house in no time. Asif was stunned when he entered the house.
