Chapter Nine- Domestic Violence

One day, Limon went to the bazaar. It was crowded such that they saw a fight-it was a man who behaved violently with his wife. Everyone even Limon saw it, but as everyone was silent to protest against the chaos, Limon ran near them by protesting it.

"Who the bloody hell are you?" asked the husband.

"I am no one, just a common man like you. Why did you beat a woman with respect?" said Limon.

"She's my wife. I can do anything I want with her. Any doubts?" shouted the husband.

"Yes, you have a little infection in your brain, son" smiled Limon.

"Do you know who am I? I am a chairman of this area" shouted the husband but Limon's slap gave his speech interruption.

"I don't care who you are. You made yourself a chairman because of your wealth. I am Ataur" said Limon in a rude voice.

Limon hit his face much hard. The woman was sighed with relief. He punched the chairman's belly as painful as a dog bark weakly. The blood came out from the chairman's mouth that made him senseless.

"Thank you, brother. You have saved my life" wept the woman kindly.

"No, sister. Thank you, as it is my job to save your life" said Limon.

The woman was wounded that she held hands with Limon gently. After that, she was taken to Mathin's house. Mathin's parents: Daud and Sania saw the woman.

"The chairman's wife, right? What happened, Ataur?" asked Mathin's father.

"I went to the bazaar, I saw that the chairman beating her" said Limon with concern.

"The everyday episode! Thank you that you have stopped that soap opera. Otherwise, we have to tolerate this madcap. He's not really a chairman but a madcap who think of himself as a high position" said Mathin's father.

He kept the woman in Mathin's study room. After that, Limon was coming out from the house while he saw people staring at him; giving a concerned look. But when Limon looked back to the red curtain, the people in clapped him for the bravery.

"Brother, till today, we were bounded for the madcap's deeds by watching these everyday episodes. We used to make fun of her feelings with silence but you-the brave one, saved our lives in such that reminded us of our mother. We are less educated people. We read and write less. I hope, you are from the other world. You have watched the society. We want to know more" said one of the slum people-an old man.

"No, uncle. It's God who supported me to transform myself from nobody to somebody" said Limon.

Everyone wept as they clapped. Some said 'God Bless This Person'.

"This is a rare slum, son. It has unity all over rather than some places I remember" said Daud.

Meanwhile, Mathin and Mohona went to the factory secretly. The office was not yet opened. When she opened the locks, Mohona's mouth was wide opened with surprised.

"Where did you get the keys?" whispered Mohona.

"I duplicated it. It is unexplainable" replied Mathin.

They sneaked inside D.M. Ghani's cabin. They saw that some of the designs were stolen.

"It's my design!" whispered Mathin.

"How do you know?" asked Mohona.

"It's stolen from my cabin. I designed it with hard work and passion but boss can be so cheap that I cannot imagine" whispered angrily Mathin.

"For this reason you came?" asked Mohona.

"Yes, but there are more things about boss" said Mathin.

When they looked up at the board, there were pictures of women who were scratched and half-naked. They became disgusted to see these kinds of pictures.

"So, the everyday episode is this? What a shame of domestic violence! Let us see if he changes" said Mohona.

"The consequences of life may come. Let us hope, he mend ways" said Mathin.

"I am saying the same thing, sister" said Mohona.
