Shabnam Has a Story to
Reveal
Rosina S Khan
Shabnam was born into a wealthy family in a modern home. Her mother has been released from the hospital. And both the daughter and mother were put on bed at home until they fell into sleep again.
Her father was overexcited having a brand new daughter and went outside to bring fruits and sweets.
Soon he was back home watching TV after he checked in on with his wife and daughter. Then it was time for her father to assemble food items, a quick mix of vegetables and meat by opening the cans and stirring in a bowl and then warmed it. He also cooked rice.
He made his wife eat his prepared meals. And the baby clung to her.
Days passed by. Shabnam‟s father was a reputable doctor and he kept checking with his wife and daughter.
While the father kept flourishing all over in the medical center he worked, her daughter was also growing up to a teenager. Daughter and father were especially close and spent time together walking, locked hands towards the sweets shop and bought packets that were enough for family and guests.
Shabnam had to go to school and learn stuff. A tutor was provided to help her with studies.
A son was born into the family. More wishes and blessings were poured into the family.
Both son and daughter were schooling when their father got a promotion and he had therefore more incoming wealth.
The daughter‟s time to appear in O-level and A-level exams under University of London came and went. She really had a hard time preparing for these exams and she lost health.
After giving her A-level exams, she went to London with her family and settled down.
After to and fro from London to Dhaka and vice versa, the girl started to fall in love with a guy named as Rafat she previously studied with in another school. She even took him abroad to their mansion.
Her father had in mind another colleague‟s son to marry Shabnam. When Shabnam heard the news, she broke down and said she already loved someone and would like to marry him.
Her father was extremely agitated but became compliant with her daughter‟s choice.
The family returned to Dhaka where the great wedding ceremony took place. She invited all her close friends and they partied happily with Shabnam and her bridegroom. They were finally married after a Kazi came and both said „Kabul‟.
The party came to a pleasant halt until Shabnam reached her brand new hubby‟s home.
Days passed by when Shabnam and her hubby spent good times with each other. They were very memorable ones.
As time went on, Shabnam took cooking and singing lessons. Her hubby spent the savings he earned from his home office, keeping some of it in the bank.
As time further passed on, Shabnam had a daughter. When her daughter was about a year old, Rafat started having arguments about finally settling in Dhaka but Shabnam liked life in London better. After many heated arguments and squabbles, they decided to split and have a divorce.
Having done that, Shabnam was miserable for days and journeyed back to London.
Nothing could cheer her up when her young cousin brother started to play pranks on her and her daughter and the trio had fun. Soon the cousin,
Yasser started to fall in love with Shabnam. Shabnam, on her side, felt for Yasser very much.
So in this way, Shabnam got a good hubby and daughter as family. It was a good ending for the family but time doesn‟t stop. It goes on and on when the daughter blooms and has her own dreams and achievements to
achieve.
I leave you here, dear reader allowing you to visualize what kind of story Shabnam‟s daughter will reveal some day.
