Atavistic Stigmata

Daine eida dekhte asen chacha? Ei boro eida hoilo giye shada pathor!

I was lying on my hand in hopes of taking a power nap when our indocile elderly guide had made the statement! Such an atrocious vile act! Who dare spoil my slumber, in a comical tone, I uttered!

Hehe, egula ki shob kon chacha, ami ki English bujhi naki. Gail tail to den nai abar?

The sheer tiredness did not allow me to further elongate the conversation! I had already been to this place quite a few years ago! It was a joyful visit, and the memories of that village in the mountain where this boat will dock were still as vivid as the colors of the brownish-yellow leaves of the fall in the afternoons! So again, I drifted back to my slumber!

Trying to sleep in a tiny wooden canoe is almost nearly impossible! But the drowsiness was not seemingly passing away anytime soon! The causality of trekking through three mountains the previous day was taking its toll! The sun, directly hitting my eyes, was almost covered when the boatman, the son of our old guide, stood up, causing his faint silhouette-like umbra to fall over my face! And at that moment, I had found true contentment! Harmony coming from the boat gliding in a swift motion over the streams, chirping of many exotic birds echoing through the mountain range and a slightly cool fresh breeze, ah what more does life has to offer!

In such junctures, I usually daydream! For that instance, I was riding through the mountainous canals of paradise! Looking for Eve to whom I was her adam! As eve was created from a rib of adam, such a woman would be born only for me in those dreams. As the comforts oozing out of that moment sent me deeper and deeper into the realm of fantasies, her face too became exponentially vivid! A thin nose, hazelnut eyes, and luscious orange slice-like lips symbolized untouched chastity! Except for when I woke up, I still had all of my ribs intact! Not even an inch short than as it was before! And the fleeting dopamine high still coursing through my nerves told me, this is all you will get from life, you idiot!

Aisha porsi chacha, ar ghumiayen na, ebar mela rasta haite jaite hobe!

Certainly, I was then well awake! And I was not dreaming anymore. Yet, the girl from my dream stood only a few feet away from me, on the shore! In a hazy prompt, I rubbed my eyes, but it did not work. I even entertained the thought of asking my friend, one of my tourmates, to slap me! But I wasn't asleep! A human being about whom I just dreamt of was standing right there! Right beside the village dock! Except there was something extra in that scene, a minor yet unavoidable detail! This girl was carrying a makeshift backpack on her shoulders! And from that, out popped the head of a toddler! In this dimension, she was a mother!

While washing our face, I had hesitantly confessed to my friend about the dream! I could see a flicker of laughter almost spark in his eyes, yet they burned out instantly! My tone, my choice of syllables gave away my honesty and truth! And so he whispered,

Ei pahare eshe amader sholojonke ki mar khawabi tui? Gono dholai diye pute rakhbe kono ek chipay! Eto kabbik abeg tor poshchate vore rakh chodu!

He stopped on the verge of almost continuing to turn me into a gandu with words alone as he saw the deep ache in my expressions! And so he added by saying, it was better if I would just forget it!

After a lengthy supply check, seeing the group's excitement, the old guide suggested that we take the more cynic route for our destination, as it should offer more chances at adventure! Hearing that, some of the over-enthusiastic ones in our group even gasped in an exhilarating adrenaline rush! And so it was done! An added day more trek in our already two days and night tour!

While repacking our stuff, I felt a heated glance in my back! My sixth sense spiked out of proportions like how it does for spidey! And so I turned back, only to see my friend looking at me in a very suspicious fashion! Oh well, I should have kept my mouth shut, only a regretful thought all that was by then!

Tor na, jabar dorkar nei!

As we started our trek, my friend stopped me, pulled me back, and faced me. And then, I could see only a brotherly affection, an empathetic stare that needed not to say more! A pat on my back, a hug later, he advised me not to do anything foolish!

The group had already walked away quite far, and so he ran after them. But not before using that tone of voice a person uses in a satirical manner, to affirm the fact of doing a favor for another person, to say,

Janto feort jaoa chai dhakae bhai amar! Janto jete hobe!
