A Boy With A Secret 1

Part:1-Call him Kushol!

Kushol is a 14-year-old Bangladeshi brown boy who just moved to Dhaka from Chittagong as his stepfather got a big promotion and got transferred here. Kushol isn't happy about it.

-"Mom, I promised Suroz that I would meet him as soon as I get to Dhaka."

Suroz is Kushol's best friend whom he met online and he lives in Dhaka. Kushol was relieved that he had someone whom he could talk to here, 'cuz he had no friends back in Chittagong except his weird cousins.

-"No Kushol! We just got into our new home. You have to help me today to organize. I am sure Suroz will understand. What would you do with that kid anyways, he is like 2 years older than you."

-" So what? It's okay for you to marry an old man and I can't have a friend who is 2 years older than me?" -Kushol stomped off to his room.

Well, Kushol's stepfather, Mr Noman Ahmed was actually quite old, he was 63 and Kushol's mom, Ms Lily Ahmed just turned 42. Kushol was having trouble processing their marriage. Kushol is a great boy who is turning into a typical teenager. So It's pretty normal at his age though. 

Anyways, Kushol enters his room, of course, slamming the door first and then sits on his bed. After a sec, he lays down on his bed. But he wasn't comfortable. So he lays down on the floor. The rays of the afternoon sun fell on his eyes as they entered his bedroom window. He could see the blue sky and a few palm trees through the window. He realized he kinda liked it and says

-" Wow."

There was a study table under the window. There were some books on the table. So he got up, opened the window and sat on his study table's chair. He put his arms on the books and placed his chin, according to his comfort. Suddenly, he saw a boy smoking in a room in another building in front of the building where Kushol was. As the boy saw Kushol looking at him, he showed his middle finger. Kushol found it annoying yet interesting. Suddenly, Kushol's stepfather came into his room and said-

"Kushol, your Nanu(Maternal Grandmother) just had a heart attack"

-"What? Where is mom?"
-"She's getting ready. We are going to Chittagong."

-"Great! I had to hear that from you."As Kushol walks passes his stepfather, Mr Noman grabbed Kushol's arm and told him,

-"Listen, I know you don't like me. But don't be rude to your mother because of me."

Kushol didn't say anything to his stepfather and went to her mother and saw her crying. Kushol didn't say anything, he came from the bedroom door from where he was standing and went to his room. Kushol has a big secret as the title says. But I am not going to tell you his secret unless you know him well first. So stay tuned for the next part.
