Husband's Love

Love is the profound connection that makes life's journey worthwhile.

Nishi didn't agree to the marriage proposal. The tall man with a sure wit had been rejected by Nishi multiple times. Every time her grandmother tried to explain to her father who she wanted to marry, her grandmother would humorously reveal her teeth and say, "Are you in a new relationship?, my dear"

Nishi's father, overhearing the word "line," assumed it was a beautiful, historically significant word and decided to marry her off. Nishi assured her mother that she didn't want to get married like her.

Her father asked, "Halima, have I ever asked you to know your daughter's decisions?" Nishi got married two months ago. A fortune teller came to Nishi's house to read her future. She was dressed in a broken sari, and her fortune-telling tools were unconventional. Still, she wondered why her elder sister, Sharmin, could understand why Nishi might not be happy.

"How are you, Apa?" Nishi asked. "I'm okay," Sharmin replied. "Tell me, Nishi, how are you?" Nishi couldn't say, "I'm fine, Apa, and I don't understand why you're interested in my affairs. You have so much jewelry, a car, and a house." Sharmin responded, "You have never been neglected by your husband, so you don't understand, what is happiness??"

In the evening, Arman returned home, and Nishi had a meal. "Did you eat in the afternoon?" Arman asked. Nishi replied, "Yes, there's rice on the table, but I didn't eat." Arman asked, "Nishi, don't you like anything I bring for you? Why are you saying such things?"

For the past two months, Nishi hadn't spoken openly about her feelings or relationships with anyone else. Arman asked her to speak up. Nishi finally said, "Where did you give time to love?" Arman was puzzled by the unfamiliar phrase.

Later, at home, Arman handed Nishi a bag containing important office documents. However, today he didn't bring her anything special, not even a single item. Nishi was disappointed by this lack of attention, and it showed on her face. But seeing these small things, Nishi felt very upset. Nishi feels emptiness in her heart. Today he did not even say whether she ate lunch or not. Arman didn't even ask if she had eaten her lunch.

Concerned, she went to Armaan & asked, "Is something wrong with your health ?" No, don't worry. Shall I make tea? nothing will be needed.

Nishi's world is falling apart, but why he doesn't understand. Is sister Sharmin just saying the right thing? Her husband's indifference is driving her crazy. Why is her husband neglecting her? She can't find any answers. He could bring a brick lying on the street and say "This is your Nishi".

Armaan woke up around eight o'clock in the night. Called Nishi to her, gave her a packet of Septipin and said that she could not handle the saree that day. Wear a red saree today. And listen to two cups of tea, a light snack and come to the balcony.

The pocket of safety pins seemed like a valuable asset to her, and she wanted to hold it close to her heart for a long time.

A huge moon is bound in a pitcher of water for you, Nishi. How beautifully the moon is reflected in the clear water of the pitcher! There's a small cake on the tiny table, with a garland of jasmine flowers spread all around. It's a marvelous, intoxicating atmosphere.

Nishi: Why were you upset? Arman: Didn't answer the question. Today is your birthday, Nishi. Nishi: No one has ever thought about this day like this. Arman: I'm your poor husband. Maybe if I were a rich man like your cousin, I could have given you a big party and expensive jewelry as a gift. But I couldn't afford to buy you any expensive jewelry on this birthday, Nishi, other than a small nose pin.

Nishi: You captured such a big moon for me, what could be more precious than that. I was sure that, your our wits are on your knees. Arman started laughing out loud and hugged his wife, saying, "You crazy woman." Tears welled up in Nishi's eyes.

On the day of the wedding, my father hugged me like this and said, my dear love you cannot stay angry with your father. I didn't give you a partner to adorn, I gave you a partner to be proud of.
