Farin's mother is screaming in remorse, and crying continuously. Neighbor aunties are taking care of her. Her father has become sick, and lying in bed. He could not take the shock.
Farin's groom's family is talking on the second floor, west side room. " Why Allah, why? Can't you allow my son's happiness?" said Turan's mother ." He suffered from childhood in our middle income family, always financial difficulties plaguing our family . He remained underweight throughout his lifetime because of poverty. After struggling for years he became a BCS( Bangladesh Civil Service) Cadre at the age of 26. He loved Farin since childhood but couldn't approach her. At last after getting a suitable job, he was marrying his dream girl. And you, Allah, took my son's happiness! "
Turan is sitting in a corner of the room, his expressions have no trace of life in them. Tears are coming out slowly flowing over his cheek. "Oh, Farin, after a lot of patience I was going to have you as my wife, and this is what happens!" said Turan.
Farin's sister is holding her mother, crying but she knows, if she breaks now, her mother will also lose emotional control. So she needs to be strong no matter what.
Neighbours are gathering around their house. Well decorated with lights and flowers, a festive house for marriage has now become a place of mourning.
Farin's house is just 10 minutes away from the canal near their house. This canal connects with the river from which, her body was found. When the main part of the marriage was about to begin, the Kobul or accepting part, Farin had been missing for half an hour. But it was kept hidden by her parents to save their respect. And they were secretly searching for Farin. There was some commotion/arguing in the distance.
Farin's ex was the last person coming from that way. ....
P.N: In Muslim wedding ceremonies, the bride and groom each say "qabul," which means "I accept," to formally consent to the marriage in the presence of witnesses.
