A story of a cute little baby boy named Abir who was the apple of his parents eyes and also to the other members of his family. He was so nice, gentle, caring, loving and we used to think God has given him all the good qualities as a blessing. His parents also used to think he is an extra-ordinary child because he has the ability to know everything about everything. Once he was having a conversation with someone he did not know personally and then, all of a sudden, he asked that lady why she was sad. And that lady was completely speechless because it was true that she was sad since she had a breakup with her boyfriend a few days ago.
So, Yes, he was like that. And only his father knew about his abilities. And so, his father used to keep the baby boy with him most of the time so that no one can hurt him or harm him. He too loved his father more than anyone else.
Days, months, years passed. And he was growing up with extra-ordinary talents and exceptionally handsome features. Also he was an artist, an amateur singer and also a poet. And also he knew more than one language like Bengali, English, Hindi, Russian and Spanish. He used to write poems in different languages in almost every occasions, functions during his school years and he was always the one who got prizes every time he participated.
One of his poems, titled as 'Kabhi Alvida Na Kehena' in Hindi and in English it will be 'Never Say Good bye' was selected as the best poem in one of a writing competition, when he was only 13.
His parents and teachers were very proud of him. And also he had a lot of female admirers. But he never looked at them the way they expected him to do. He was a really very family oriented boy who had no time to date anyone or to engage in a relationship. One more thing was behind it, and it was that he was so introverted and shy to involve in matters like love, affairs and relationships, mostly he was shy in matters related to Girls.
He used to treat every girl as a sister. And believe me when I say that he is actually so cute. Because I have seen him growing up in front of my eyes.
Things were perfect until one day, he realized he was suffering from a disease. He at first, told his father about it but his father told him,
"It was okay. It will be alright. No need to be worried of it."
Days passed but he didn't cure. So, he told his father again about his illness. But instead of giving him assurance that he will get proper treatment, his father told him that it was all his fault for whatever happened. And he will not get proper treatment as his punishment. His world shattered. He never thought or imagined his father will treat him like that. Because he thought no matter what happens, his father will always be with him. But what happened?
He cried every night thinking about what his fault was and from that time, he used to blame himself for whatever happens to anyone.
And then when he turned 16, he started thinking it was never his fault but he got punishment from his father. His heart was filled with hatred that time for his father and everyone. He too started neglecting his family members and closed ones, he even started living somewhere else and stopped contacting his family members. The only person he used to communicate with was me. And he started hurting people because he wanted to take revenge for whatever happened with him, neglecting the fact that, those people had nothing to do with whatever the reason behind his sufferings. He continued to break people's heart and became such an evil that people started to hate him. But he did not care at all. I was thinking too that what he was, and now what he has become.
Life really teaches us so many life lessons but it's up to us that how we will receive it and how we will utilize it. And sometimes, we take too much time to understand what life is trying to teach us. Same here with Abir. Because when he realized his faults, it was already too late. He could not even say goodbye to his father and could not even say Sorry for neglecting them either, before his father left the world.
His mother, however, was in great shock after losing her husband and she started acting like a crazy woman and after a few days, she abandoned him. Abir only had a little sister who was so attached with him. He loves her so much. But later on, he found out that the sister of him will leave him very soon because she has a heart disease. So, he has no one in his life. He took care of his little sister just like a mother takes care of her children. But he knew, he has to lose his sister someday. And he was feeling so guilty for what he did to his family members all those days.

So, he decided to sacrifice his own happiness and to help others so that he could find a little bit of relief in his heart. He even stopped writing poetry and stopped singing. But he chose to inspire others to write. He continued to help others but he was still wounded inside. He was laughing with people but inside his heart was still bleeding. His broken heart was not healed properly. And when his sister asks him,
"Bro, what will happen when I die? Why will I die?? I didn't do anything to anyone then why will I die???"
He felt like he was being stabbed directly pointed at his heart by a sharp knife. He remains unbothered in front of his sister and he just ignores her by laughing at what she says but inside he was crying his soul out. But what can he do about it? It was all fated. Nobody has the power to change it.
So, This is the story of Abir. He is still broken from the inside and still suffering in pains of losing his loved ones. And trust me when I say; it is the one pathetic story that I never even got to read in any story books or anywhere because I know what he has gone through, I have witnessed it in my own eyes. And living with pains in your heart can keep you alive but it can kill you from the inside and more painful is this that nobody ever gets to know about it...
