Identity

Mr. Abhishek Das and Mr. Bikash Pattanaik were two friends. They had been working in the same department for 15 years. They both had retired last two years. But Mr. Abhishek Pattanaik has no address for the last 6 months. When Mr. Bikash babu was going to puri, he saw the Abhishek babu. Now, Abhishek told his story to his dear friend. 

I was sitting on the bed in the middle of the house because of poor health. The eldest son came and said, "Father, go home to that ladder." Leave the house inside. There is a bed in the house. I fell into a ditch. I didn't understand.

I was forced to leave the house and go to the house near the stairs. There is a thin abandoned bed. Light mattress. The bedsheet is spread out on top. The ceiling fan is above the head. The tube lights are burning on the wall.

Why did the son ask to stay in this house in the evening? I was embarrassed for a while, and after much thought, I realized that it would be two days before I realized that I had a cold and that the children probably suspected I was affected by Corona. 

So the eldest son on behalf of the family asked me to stay in this outhouse. I was worried. I was embarrassed for an hour.

The family's behavior made me feel sad and depressed because I was not afraid of coronary artery disease. As if the ground had collapsed under my feet.

I was very lonely. The children did not come to me. Granddaughter, younger son, younger daughter-in-law, elder son, elder daughter-in-law, and my wife none, no one came. Everything seemed like a quiet atmosphere. I looked around the house with all the walls and doors and windows. Tommy, my pet dog, lived in that house. Tommy found me like a friend.

Tommy. A stray dog ​​on the street. I was picked up by Tommy and treated at home. This dog is very loyal. Always with me. We both go out in the morning or in the evening on walking. This is Tommy's home for the night. Tommy was overjoyed to find me. I'm happy to watch.

Then I lost my mind. I have been living in this city since I got a government job. I was holding the child, leaving my parents in the village. I will live in the city with a better lifestyle. What's in the village? The children of this city were born. Grew up and gave them an education I made a house. In one of the best places in the city.

I built a small house next to the stairs. Servant Quarter. This is the house where I spend the night at the behest of the children.

I couldn't sleep all night. How many times have I repeated my life? In the interest of living happily ever after, the village ignored my parents and siblings and lived happily ever after with my wife and children, so I settled in the city. After all, these are their own. These are mine and I am theirs.

Today, just two years after retiring, I am still in the throes of a heart attack. False relation is no one in the world. The night began to rise. Made a silent house. At eleven o'clock in the morning, his wife came with a loaf of bread, opened the door slightly, pushed him into the house, and left. Not wants to look me in the eye once. Instead, his wife, Shanti, quickly walked away with a cloth on her face. A bottle of water was left to drink with a plate of bread.

I couldn't understand why something had happened that the whole world was after me. I didn't want to eat anything. I couldn't sleep. I was saddened by the memory of many old relationships and people who felt more helpless than I did. How many of them have passed away. Blood relations are not everything. All of these relatives are found in the village. Not in the city. Not even his own in the city.

The night fell without sleep. Tommy didn't even sleep at night. At six o'clock in the morning, an ambulance from a nearby hospital was parked in front of my house. When the ambulance staff asked me, I introduced myself. They said you had symptoms of corona so your son called us and said you have to come with us for the test. I was surprised. I was helpless. The hospital staff was in a hurry. Didn't give me time to think.

Turning to the house, I saw the youngest son-in-law, granddaughter, grandson, opening the door and looking at me. From the bottom of the house, the eldest son, the eldest daughter-in-law, and the wife, Shanti, and the granddaughter are all looking out the window through the window of the house. Only Tommy had stood with me.

I felt guilty. Looking at everyone, I sat in the ambulance and the car drove away. The hospital is two hundred meters away. Tommy chases after the car.

I was taken to the hospital. I was in a quarantine room in an isolated bed. Tested. In a strange environment, the lifestyle changed. It seemed like a storm had come last night. It was as if everyone had left me alone and gone their own way.

I am a self-confident person. I also considered it the struggle of life. Do your own thing as much as possible. Don't rely too much on anyone. Shanti is happy with her son-in-law. I never objected. Didn't disturb others. I do my job myself. Wife Shanti is involved with children. I feel lonely after retirement. Peace talks on the day or when you need money. How do you do all this cool stuff? Otherwise, he spends time with the children. I get forty thousand a month for a pension. Neither do I need the child's money nor do I ever take the child's money but the children sometimes take money from me by saying that I need something. My money is in the bank and I need to get the money out.

The day was spent in the hospital. I was in the distance with the doctor and the nurse, expressing my feelings. I was feeling kinship. I was reading a book. I was exercising. I was weighing the meaning of life.

Who owns For whom is all this? Who turned a blind eye? Earnings for a lifetime. For me. I am for myself. 

It's all mine today. Human beings continue to loot without throwing justice and injustice. I have mine. So why is this crazy? I've been through a lot of madness in my career, in my busy life. I need a big house. My children will study well and get good jobs. Will be fine Eat well. Never let anyone get in the way, so much so that it burns their happiness to fulfill everyone's wishes. But what was the result? There were so many questions in the hospital. Proudly. In tears Day by day, I was strengthening myself at the hospital. OK. I learned the truth while I was alive.

After death, a living human photo disappears. Once a year, photos are cleared every year, and flowers are planted. 

Three days later, the youngest son's phone rang. At first, I thought I wouldn't pick up the phone. But why didn't anyone pay attention? I picked up the phone.

How are you, dad?

I could not answer.

Again the son asked what was found in the doctor's report? I've been trying to stay in touch with the doctor for two days. . But no one picks up my phone. Said the younger son.

So kindly tell me about the report.

Son, I didn't even know what was in the report because I didn't try to find out," I replied. I am no longer afraid of death. But yes, I'm fine with this. No one needs to worry. I kept my phone.

No more grief. No more tears in my eyes. The truth of the matter was revealed in the Corona disaster. The world of false magic. No one else, baby. All Maya are blind puppets. "She is OK.

Marriage, my wife Shanti, and my children. A world bound by love. He passed away in one fell swoop. I forgot my contribution to them.

I was drowning in emotion. As I was thinking, I was walking around thinking that I had a gun. Sometimes I thought Tommy. Did he really lie down in front of the hospital without eating or did he go home? No one in my family can understand this animal without me.

I was wondering if my ward doctor came. You told me with a smile that your report was negative. You can go home.

I had nothing to be happy about. Within eight days, I was all right. I signed.

Said the doctor. I have informed your family. They will be coming. Be prepared to go home.

Thanks to the doctor, I rushed out of the hospital. Before the kids came I ..... With that in mind, Tommy noticed. Similarly, under a tree, the face is dry. Seeing me, I was overjoyed. I went to Tommy a lot.

We both walked opposite the house. We walked back and forth.

We both lived in a rented house, strangers and strangers. Still living I am very happy. The children had returned from the hospital that day. I changed my mobile SIM. I hid my identity for the rest of my life to be happy.
