EK KHOKAR KAHINI

Ek j chilo khoka. Chotto khoka. Khoka thakto ekta barite. Maa baba aaro kara kara jeno chilo sathe.

Takhn saal ta 1942 ki 43. Athobe 44 o hote pare. Sakal ta suru hoyechilo anyano diner matan e. Shanto sakal, cha kheye bazaar e berono hobe. Hothat ei samay siren er awaj e charidik kNepe uthhlo. Sabai bheeto santrasto hoye uthlo. Oe boma felte eseche Japani ra. Samle newar agei start holo bombing. . Sakal bela tei neme elo raatrir andhar. Khanik pore all clear siren beje uthlo.

Tatokhone sab sesh. Maa baba aaro kara kara chilo na sab sesh hoye geche. Bomar aghate baritao r nei bollei chole. Sei khoka deke deke maa baba k ghum theke othatei parlo na. tarpor dekhlo kara jeno ese dhangso stup theke maa baba aro sabai k niye ekta garite suiye niye chole gelo. Khokar dike fireo chailo naa. Se kato daklo, kato knadlo keo e fere o takalo naa.

Se knadte knadte barir samner restate bose porlo. Thik sei samay sekhan diye jachhilen ek school teacher, choto bachha k knadte dekhe ashpash er lok k jigasa kore sab jante parlen. Sabai k jigesh korlen eitukun dudher shishu er dayitto k nichho? Keo raji holo na bollo amader e nun ante panta furoy aamra ki kore arekti pet er dayitto nebo bolun. Dirghoswash fele uni khoka k kole tule nilen r ascharjo byapar seo bina protibaad e tar sathe jete raji holo.

Khoka pelo natun bari. Natun maa, baba, bhai bon. Dheere dheere se ei barir baro chhele hoye uthlo.

Ei barir padobi Moitro e  se grahon korechilo.

Din jay raat jay anek bachor periye sei chootto khoka aaj ek supurush juba. Ghor er bnadhon tar bhalo lage na. Mon chute chole desh deshante. Sara prithbi bhraman ere k adomya ichha. Porashonay jathesto bhalo chilo.

Se ek samay jahaj er captain hoy.  Tar swapno er hoy suru. Kato desh ghore se. Barir jonye niye aasey kato bhalo bhalo upohar. Maa udgrib hoye thake kobe chhele ghore firbe. Barite anek bhai bon. Chhoto choto bhai bon haan kore Bimal dadar samudra jatrar galpo sone. Sunte sunte tader o chokhe bhese othe uttal samudre jhor er sathe mokabila korar drishyo. Ei bhabei kete jay besh kichu din.

Hothat Bimal ek din bari asey , sathe niye ek dana kata pori. Barite hurohuri pore jay , kothay bosabe ki khawabe notun bou bole katha. Sudhu maa’r mone ektu abhiman er megh. Barir baro chhele, taar biye eibhabe holo. Chheler barir keo kichhui janlo na. Ekkebare bou niye asa holo.

Tao, take ei niye keo kichu bole ni. Hazar hok, barir baro chele bole katha. Sabai khushi monei bou k baron korlo. Dudin theke sostrik se bari theke berolo. Abar ekta samudra jatra royeche samne.

Hay re, k janto sei hobe sesh jatra.

Jahaj chharlo r Bimal er kono khabor pawa gelo na. Bari theke anek khojakhuji holo, jahaj dube geche kina, kintu jahaj dobe ni, kintu Captain hariye geche. Bou er barir thikana nea chhilo na, tayi se khane keo jgajog korte parlo na. Knede knede maa er chokh er jol shukolo.

Kintu Khoka r firlo na. Ei bisal prithibi te se hariye gelo.
