ছোট হলেও কেমন করে জানি জানতাম যে ক্যান্সার খুব ভয়ঙ্কর একটা কিছু! ড্রয়িংরুমে বসে টিভি দেখছিলাম। ভেজা কিছু উপলব্ধি করে যেইনা বাথরুমে গেলাম, কমোডে বসতেই সাথে সাথে দেখলাম কমোডের পানিসব লাল টকটক হয়ে গেলো। কোনরকমে নিজেকে সামলিয়ে একদৌড়ে চলে গেলাম আব্বুর কাছে। আব্বুর কোলে ঝাঁপিয়ে পড়ে বলতে লাগলাম, ‘আমার তো ক্যান্সার হয়েছে।আমি তো আজকেই মরে যাবো। আব্বু দেখলো জামার পেছনে লালদাগ। আম্মুও বাসায় ছিলেন না।আব্বু হয়তো বুঝতে পারছিলেন না কি বলবেন।কিন্তু আজো তার চোখের চাহনির কথা মনে হলে এক অসহায় বাবার নির্মম চেহারার কথা মনে পড়ে বুকের কোথায় যেন চিনচিন করে।
