Its a short story on Bangladesh's freedom fight.
Maumita, come home.
I'm coming mom.
Maumita is giving water to the plants planted in the tub on the roof.
His mind was not good. What can be done during the war, no one can be good. He had to sit at home all day. School was closed. He was supposed to give the secondary examination in the year ahead. It has been two days since the country became independent. He doesn't know whether his Madhyamik exam will be given or not. But now he is very happy because his father is coming back tomorrow after the war. His grandfather received news from the market that the freedom fighters will return tomorrow.
He was very upset when his father went to war. But his father explained to him that it is very necessary to go to war. It is very necessary to make the country independent. His father is very brave. He also wants to be like his father. He makes many arrangements for his father. He has many things to say to his father. He hears many war stories from his father. He is very happy that now they can move around normally. For so long he was imprisoned in a cage.
Now he is free.
The people of this country are free.
But Maumita's independence will be fulfilled after her father comes.
She asks her mother to cook her father's favorite dishes. At night, Maumita can't sleep. What will she do when her father comes?
Moumita woke up in the morning and started preparing vigorously.
He has decorated the room beautifully.
Her mother is busy cooking. 11 o'clock or twelve o'clock.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door. Mamata's mother went to open it.
At first Moumita was startled to hear the sound, but thought that if the freedom fighters come back, the whole area will be hollered.
will fall.
Still, he follows his mother.
Mom opened the door.
Who do you want?
yes, I am Russell Me and Monir's brother fought together.
Hearing Moni's name, everyone felt a stir.
So or not! So where is the mind?
-Can I come in? Then I tell the whole story.
sorry I forgot to talk about coming home.
come on come on
Russell entered the room. He saw Maumita standing in front of the inner door.
You are Maumita, right?
Yes, Maumita nodded gently
Monir's brother spoke highly of you.
So! A wide smile on Maumita's face.
Where is the father? Father did not come?
Where is your grandfather?

Dadu came. Russell was sitting on a chair talking to Maumita's mother. Dadu actually stood up and greeted Russell

Uncle sat down.
Are you Monir's friend?
yes uncle Not just a friend, but a brother.
Your son is incredibly brave.
Today I am standing with you only for Monir's brother. Monir's brother is on the verge of death brought back from
So where is Munir? You didn't say that, father. Grandpa's forehead is a fold of thought.
Actually... I don't know how to say it.
Do not understand means!
Instantly everyone's face hardened.
I mean.I mean, Monir's brother is no more. Russell said softly with a sigh.
The whole house is silent. Everyone turned to stone.
A storm is raging inside everyone. but
That storm can't stop them at all.
Only tears are falling from their eyes.
Reading continuously.
It is as if the dam of thousands of years has been freed today.
The echo of the cries makes the surroundings sad. Moumita's grandfather tries to console Moumita and her mother. Dad's eyes are also teary. He had to hear the news of his son's death with his own ears. But she should not be broken. Maumita and her mother are now no one. He has to keep them. Moumita hugs her mother and cries. There is no sign of stopping. His mother tries to comfort him but he keeps crying himself.
Russell put his hand on Maumita's head. Don't cry mother. Your father is a martyr. So much pride. Your father did not cry when he died. you
why are you crying You have to be patient.
Russell pulled out a bag containing a flag. took out the flag and extended it to Maumita. Your father asked to give this flag to you.
Maumita took the flag. As soon as it was taken, her tears increased.
His father said that after the country is independent, they will put the flag together on the roof of the house. It didn't happen anymore. The red part of the flag got wet with Mamta's tears. The red blood turned crimson. Its blood is the blood of its father.
He could see his father's reflection in the red part of that flag.
His father says-
Maumita why are you crying? You are my brave girl.
This is my gift to you. A free country and a free flag.
You promise me you won't be sad for me anymore. The gift I give cares
will keep.
I gave you my country, this flag, and my dreams. To make the country of the future
responsibility is yours I believe you will build a beautiful country.
Your mother and your grandfather will listen. Take care of them.
Moumita stared at the flag. Her crying stopped. A soft and gentle smile on the face. the flag
He hugged her in his chest.
