ONE DAY BUNK

Today I came to Mirpur after about six months. Haven't come here due to work pressure. Sitting on the window seat in the bus, watching the scenery outside and thinking how ten years of life have passed. Suddenly, I smiled unconsciously when I saw something. "My school!" Where I spent 10 years. How many memories I made in this school! How many times have I walked around with my friends? We don't know how many times we have been suspended for disturbing the class. Besides running away from extra classes, bringing phones in school, what else did I do but the most joy I got was giving school bunks. The first time the school bunked, it was such a memorable day for me. The day is still floating in my eyes.

Wednesday, April 6, 2022. On the night of the 5th, Ahna sent a message and said, "Sina, are you sure you will come tomorrow?" I was also informed that I will come tomorrow at any cost. Then jina sent a message in the group and said, "Tomorrow then we will give the school bunk finally." I did not ask any more questions. Because this is the opportunity. what if we didn't get the chance later! I am very happy to be able to spend time with friends after almost two weeks tomorrow. But afraid of being caught. The next day is the most important and special for us. I get up at 7:10 and freshen up quickly. I usually wake up at 7:30. At 8:15 Ahna and I leave for school. But today I got up very early. Although I wasn't able to sleep that much because of excitement. However, I got ready and called Ahna to be sure if Jina would come today or is there any chance of planning a cancellation? She said that everything has been set. No reason to worry. The plan will not be cancelled. We didn't make any plans though. Just walk far away from the school in school uniform. We leave around 8:20. We see jina in front of the restaurant in the alley behind the school. Ahna and I go to her. Then we started walking. Jina and I kept walking together. Ahna followed us from behind. She and I have a different relationship. Not a friend, not a best friend, not even a girlfriend. Can't find the name of our relationship. Just nameless. we wait for the bus in the bus stand. We didn't get on some buses after seeing the crowd. Not exactly us, jina didn't allow us to get on. She knows a lot about buses. And that was my and Ahna's first bus journey. After a few minutes, we found an empty bus. Even though the bus was empty, the 3 of us stood and swayed on the seats of the bus. After many hesitations, finally, when the bus stopped at No.10, the water came back in heart. Later got down from the bus and climbed over the bridge and got down to Girls Ideal School Road. We go to B Block through the back lane of the school. There was a long empty space between the two roads. There were many trees in that place. And next to the tree, there was a bench to sit on. We sat there. Since we were fasting, we did not have much energy to walk. So we sat down and read fan fiction written by Ahna. Ahna and I sat on a bench and started talking. And Jina sat on the bench next to us and started reading Ahna's story in silence and screamed after some time. I started reading after reading her. Then Ahna sits and talks with jina. Nature was silent. In other words, it is a perfect environment for reading books or stories. But I could not enjoy the environment for long due to mosquito bites. But reading Ahna's story, I forgot for a while that I was bitten by mosquitoes. Reading every line felt like I was watching a drama. So beautiful! Can't express in words! As her first story, the story is very beautiful! After reading, we went out for a walk. I kept walking in the streets behind the B block. Again and again we were reaching the same place. Jina was soon upset. She was suffering more than us by fasting. Repeatedly said, when will I go to school? When will I go home? But we didn't let her go. Go to different places. There was no problem in walking around the streets as ahna was with us. Otherwise we would have lost our way and started crying.

After walking we went in front of a fake Shaheed Minar. There was also seating and lots of people. Sit for a while in an empty space behind the Shaheed Minar. It was 10:30. I did not even notice the time that passed while walking. We sat there and talked. Some girls from other schools were also present there. It seems like they also banked at school like us. Jina said, "Who builds such a martyr minaret? Where there is no red circle!" After listening to her, I really understood that there is no red circle between the minarets. We laugh about it too. Finally got up at 10:50 to go to school. It will take time to go. I have to pick up my younger sister from school again. Later we stopped at the main road to catch a rickshaw. The month of fasting, so the rickshaws were charging a bit more. Some 60, some 70. But the actual rent is 40 BDT. No one wanted to go even for 45. Finally I increased 5 to 50 BDT. I sit on Ahna's lap. My bag on my lap. Ahna's bag is on Jina's lap. She is carrying the weight of the bag, and Ahna is carrying my weight. I was still afraid. We quickly got into the rickshaw, what if we reached before the school ended! What will happen then! Later Jina said that there will be traffic on the road. That's exactly what happened. There was traffic for about 5-7 minutes. As a result we arrived on time. Instead of going down the front of the school, we get off in front of the back gate alley. We slowly walked like a thief after giving the rent. Later, when we went to the 2nd gate of the school, many students had already left. Later I entered the school and came out with my sister. Ahna Jina was waiting outside and walked together later. I and Ahna go to one side and Jina to the other.

It was a good day. There was nothing to be afraid of. I also saw two girls from our class on the street. It seems that they also gave the school bank like us. I like the bus journey. I never imagined that my first bus journey would be that exciting. It seems that Jina's relationship with me is a little closer.
"Sister!! Where will you get off?" The bus contractor woke me up. I saw that I had arrived In 12 numbers. I got off the bus and kept looking around for a while. Couldn't even realize when I fell asleep. Today, I miss Ahna and Jina very much. My chest is crying for them. Today we are in different places. Ahna, Jina, wherever you are, stay well! The physical distance has increased but the mental distance will never increase. It'll stay the same. We will meet again soon, INN SHA' ALLAH!
