"Several narratives represent reality, whereas reality cannot be encapsulated in stories."
"|Chinno kore bolo re kuheli Sathi tomar lagi Hariye Jabo stay Path bhule pran jaye Jodi na shore rakho more Tumi niye jabe akashe|"
[Oh, cuckoo, mark it and say For your companion I'll lose my way Forget the path, lose myself If you don't hold me You will take me to the sky]
Upon reaching the infamous Sonagachi, they began their quest without wasting time. The people of Sonagachi were staring at them, but when they entered a dilapidated house, they found a Trans-woman, who was the head of that dilapidated house.
They inquired her by showing Oorja's photo and Purvang's photo. The lady asked with an erotic vibe, "What will you give me if I tell you?" Prayambad placed his hand inside his fragile bag and took out a book titled "Who is the Real Woman" with some Thousand rupees.
The Trans-woman laughed and threw the book in front of him and said, "Kya re, Hum agar padh hote toh yeh Karte aur wese bhi humara pesha aisa hi hai ki koi humare Aasttawa ka bhi nahin sochta..." ["What, if we were educated then we would have done this and anyway, our profession is such that no one even thinks about our existence..."]
Prayambad raised his eyebrows and said "Agar aurat Aapne aap ko pehchan le toh, Sonagachi kya hai, puri duniya aapke qadmoo mein ghuk jaye... Aur hai yeh 'Tape recorder' shayad aapko aapke aasttawa ko pehchane mein madad kare"[If a woman recognizes themselves, then what is Sonagachi, the whole world falls at your feet... And this 'Tape recorder' may help you in recognizing your true self."] and he starts moving his presence toward the door by whispering, not in a hushed tone "Yeh duniya toh chatti hai ki Kabhi bhi Aurat aapne Aap ko na pehchane chahe Wo Trans-woman hi kyu na ho" [This world insists that a woman should never recognize her inner resilience, even if she is a trans-woman] The head Trans-woman called him from his behind, he stopped and smirked to his self. The Trans-woman narrated the story [because the head was touched by his word as he acknowledged her as a woman and this was rare].
[Yes, I remember when Mr Bakshi used to come not for his self-entertainment but for us. I still remember how Kami Bai used to treat us; she injected intoxicating sustenance or pills and threw us in front of the human-covered monsters.
When Oorja was ten years old, she came to this hell and I still remember her heartfelt request. On that day, Mr Bakshi ran after the echoing sound of the gun, but we were there. We saw Kami Bai was immersed in blood and dead, they forcefully took some girls but I fled Oorja, After some time a boy came hastily and asked about Oorja but unfortunately, I was clueless about her [I asked him if he found anything regarding her please inform me but I forgot to ask him about his self
he never came back but sent a letter which Sarla read [other prostitution]. The letter states that he found her Address.
The rest of the story is still behind the curtain]
They were about to leave the place but that woman asked for the book Prayambad gave her.
Meanwhile, Neel [Prayambad's friend] was still in bewilderment when he asked, "How did you do this? How did you convince her?" Prayambad said with confidence, "Every woman born with a golden heart is either a Prostitute or a normal woman but we have to understand...And don't forget we are writers we must know how to entangle a person"
Once more, he found himself immersed in the realm of words, pondering over the term 'Trans-woman.' The sentence, "When Oorja was ten years old, she came to this hell," lingered in his mind. He contemplated the discrepancy between the apparent age in the photograph, where she appeared mature, and her age as described in the narrative, being only ten years old.
So, he decided to go back to his dwell and find out the further concealed Truth.
In MadIyapure
The terror was pouring in the form of rain, the silence occupied the atmosphere of the local area, and the dolour grasped the state of affairs of Talukdars, the materfamilias were beating their chests in grief because the real perpetrator was dead.
This news fell into the lap of both investigators Rasool Abide and Ohit De. Upon questioning, Rasool found the same story which he heard from some locals. He slightly turned himself and said, "That's why I wanted to be on a Secret Mission"
Ohit decided to find out about the incident without any barriers, and Rasool also decided the same, but Rasool's wife became a barrier for him. When his wife Rasha heard about the fabrication of the Night witch who killed Man every night. So, she became concerned about her husband and this was odd for Rasool as his relationship with his wife was egregious.●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●
