Dhaka Times Desk Nishad and Ninit had to celebrate Eid for the first time without Humayun Ahmed. These two children like flowers celebrated this Eid as if they were helpless.
On the day of Eid, little Nishad and Ninit used to wake up with the touch of their father's hand. As if two flowers were blooming under the soft light of dawn. Nishad-Ninit was not bothered. He bathed the children with his own hands. Father and son bathed together. Bathing so early in the morning is the joy of children! Humayun Ahmed used to wipe his body with a towel, Kusum, where do you give us the jerseys of the football team!
Wife Meher Afroz Shaon used to bring out Eid clothes for Humayun Ahmed and his two infant sons. The clothes are same color, same design. Crafted and Handworked Punjabi Pajamas. The fashion house used to make special Eid clothes for them. Humayun Ahmed jokingly said that the color and design are the same, the football team's jersey! Humayun's wife Meher Afroz Shaon said these things while reminiscing about the days of Eid. Again and again he recalled the dim memory of father and son praying in the same clothes.
Shaon said that Ninita got her first Eid after birth at the age of four days and Nishad at 9 months. From the time they did not learn to walk, they used to go to Eid prayers with their father. In the beginning, the father used to take his sons in his arms and go to prayer. Later, when they learned to walk, they would hold their father's finger in the Eidgah field.
Going to the Dakhin Hawar flat in Dhanmondi, it can be seen that on the occasion of Eid, same color, same design clothes have been brought for Nuhash, Nishad and Ninit. But he is not the only one who happily wears the same clothes and goes to the Eidgah with his boys!
Eid moon has risen like every time in the white autumn sky. But there is no touch of that happiness and joy in this family. Chhota Nishad and Ninit will wear colorful clothes this time too, but they will not get the touch of father's tender hand, the caress of love, who used to hold his finger in the field.
Humayun Ahmed used to wake up early on the day of Eid. It was still dark outside. He used to walk on the porch for a while. After that he used to wake up his two infant sons Nishad and Ninit by saying Fajr prayer.
Shawon said, this Eid, who will wake them up, who will bathe them! As he spoke the words, he became calm. The voice comes. Tears gather in the corners of the eyes. Wiping his eyes, he said, when Ninit was four days old, clothes were made for Ninit in collaboration with her father. Same Color Pajama-Punjabi. Shawn was sighing as he spoke. Nishad and Ninit are playing with toy cars next to them. Shaun said, Nishad got 11 Eids with her father, Ninit got four. Every Eid, Humayun Ahmed used to take pictures with children. Such clothes were worn.
The last Eid with them was the last Qorbani Eid. They were in New York. There too, similar pajama-Punjabi were sent from the country for them. The Nobel laureate came to their house on the day of Eid. Muhammad Yunus.
Shaon said, Humayun used to sit at the dining table after praying. Polao, roast chicken, beef, beef liver used to occupy a place on the dining table along with semai, sweets and payesh. And white rice with various types of filling. I did all the cooking. He loved my cooking. Polao, roast, beef, beef liver, whatever I cooked, he would enjoy eating it.
Humayun used to go to his younger brother Ahsan Habib's house in Pallavi in the afternoon of Eid. In the evening, he used to go to Gulshan's mother's house. They used to eat together there at night and watch Eid plays. Then he would return to the southern wind at night.
On the day of Eid, Humayun used to touch mother Ayesha Faiz's feet and receive prayers. The mother used to pray for her beloved child with all her heart. Now that child will not return to the mother.
On the morning of Eid, Nishad-Ninita wore blue Punjabi and white churidar pajama, but their beloved man was not there. Their father Humayun Ahmed is sleeping forever in that Lichutala of Nuhash Palli.
