Asha let him wash his face, feeling bad with the money she spent. While Ronjon scrubbed his face well at the river, reddening it as he rubbed. He heaved a deep breath, feeling refreshed after taking that random paste off his face.Asha tried mixing ashes with water, giving Ronjon goosebumps. Although resisted, Asha had her way. The result, he looked like a paled face dead man in a coffin. "You want me to look like a dead man walking? People will stone me to death for scaring them." He washed his face again.Asha held her belly as she laughed her heart out."It's not funny.” Asha clumped her mouth. Ronjon dried his face with her shawl. She let him, knowing it was her fault."Sorry, what are we going to do with that face?"

He sat between Asha and an old man while his long legs cramped in a small space. Somehow, Asha took the seat by the window, enjoying the passing view.They chose an excellent restaurant to rest in. Asha thought of wearing her Sharee. Ronjon settled to change to a cotton white Panjabi, more relaxing to him.Ronjon finished first and waited for her inside the diner while she was still in the bathroom changing. Out of nowhere, "Ronjon Bhai, long time no see?" The owner of the voice took the opposite chair.Ronjon’s eyes darted up and an enormous smile broke on his face. "Monojit Bhai? Haha never expected to see you here. Why are you here?" Ronjon's mind wondered back in his high school years. Though he was poor, he got a scholarship in a Christian school while juggling with his odd jobs to feed the family. Monojit and he fought for almost every subject for acade

    "I don't believe you. Baba only mentioned that he was planning, but nothing was set in stone." She said with determination. Marriage was not an option for her now. She had to start her own path, become a chef, and show the world her father was truthfully innocent."Why won't you believe me?" Fishal's mind went into a frenzy.

    Arup's temple throbbed with anger, incensed to see Ronjon alive. "All of you have the guts to show up here. I hope you're not wasting my time. Or did you come to be sent to the gallows soon?"Ronjon spoke first. "I could have sent you to the gallows if not for Asha stopping me. Don't try any stupid moves now.

    She cooked the dish as quickly as during the competition. Arup didn't allow anyone to serve aside from her. The children thanked her as she scooped the dish on their plates. Asha promised in her heart, she'll come back and provide a better life for these kids. Her last stop was the table where two plates were waiting for her and Arup. Ronjon, Monojit, Fishal, Arup's family doctor, and his Ma watched at the side, faces masked with anxiety.The delight on the children's faces relieved the spectator's heart, but time was in the essence. If things go awry, it would be the end.

    They've reached the capital with no problems and Monojit brought her to his Aunt's house where he lived. Ronjon had to separate ways, but promised he'll pick her up to bring her to his mentor.The next day, Ronjon drove a borrowed car with Monojit at the front seat and Asha at the back. He drove the long way in the busy streets for Asha's entertainment. She was full of bewilderment. This was her first trip to a big bustling city. Paak was nothing. Her eyes sparkled watching the extensive buildings, pleasant restaurants, large stores, and food carts selling variants of food on the roadside. She would visit those food carts later, she thought.Ronjon stopped the car in front of a decent building within a university. The tag-along Monojit wouldn't dare to be separated from her even for a second. Ronjon led them into a sizeable room filled with different knives, kitchen accessories, and bottles of various sizes. It occupied half of the room. She could tell the owner loved cooking."My ment

    Noontime came. The scenery was mesmerizing, but Rimas mind was not on it because the scorching heat of the sun was like burning coals roasting them alive. He tried lessening the soreness of the sunburns by covering his head with his shawl but held the cloth in his firm grasp, keeping the strong wind from blowing it away. Suddenly, someone yelled at his back. Everyone looked to where the shout came from and saw a woman pointing at a man who fell from the train.

    Unknown to them, Rimas silently sat at a corner at the airport in the capital city.

He absolutely did not recognize this Ayoush's real identity even though they were close before.

    Tarapati went to visit and talked with each of Rimas wives, aside from Sovhona, who he had no inkling of her where to find. The wives were in outrage after learning Rimas sold the house and their properties in secret. They couldn't even accept that he had the nerve to keep all the money to himself.
