Chapter 2: Chapter:02
5th April of 1984
District Government Hospital, Gazipur
"Ouch, my head is burning." inside a reddish dark hospital room, a 10 year old male children whose whole body was heavily bandaged with traces of heavy blood and canola in both hands suddenly woke up.
"Damn. I thought although I was not a practicing religious person, after getting tormented in my last life and died brutally, at least I would go to heaven. But why it is looking like I'm in hell. Is retribution for my last life's wrong doing?" the child was growling.
While the child who just woke up was blabbering, he suddenly heard, "Head Nurse, Plasse call the duty doctor. The patient of bed number 2 of Emergency Accident Ward woke up." As the child heard, he was startled, 'What Nurse? What Doctor? What Cabin Number? Didn't I died? Where am I?'
Just as he was thinking, the child saw one middle aged women wearing nurses clothes coming towards him. The child become startled and his body moved. Seeing this, the middle aged women said, "Don't move child. You're have 4 broken bone on chest and your also bleed a lot from head. The doctor will come in a few minutes to check up on you and the other child".
Hearing that, the child suddenly jolted. The child is none other Shamsur Rahman Shams, who just died miserably and though he went to hell. Shams suddenly closed his eyes and starts thinking, 'Didn't I died? How am I in a hospital with broken chest bone & head? Why did the women called me child when I'm easily older than her? Huh, broken chest bone & head? Wasn't I also in similar condition after the car accident in my last life? Did I travelled back in time?'
Just as he was thinking wildly, he heard a male voice, "You're a lucky person young man. In such a big accident and you only have 4 broken bone on chest & a broken head. You should consider yourself lucky.". Shams open his eyes and saw the same person, who 40 years back unrevealed the news of his parents death news.
Now Shams was sure that he did travel back in time, to the exact moment his worlds felt apart for the first time. But rather than feeling pain causing by his injury, he felt nostalgic. 'Hurrah. Good. So I have another chance to change my life.' But while reminiscing his life and new chance, suddenly he thought about Nazmul, his so called brother who ruined his life his face become distorted. But before he could think more, he heard the doctor's voice. "Hello young men. Are you okay? Are you feeling any pain or discomfort?"
Hearing this Shams halted his trains of thought and came back to the reality he is currently right now and replied, "Just a little breathing problem and headache".
Hearing this, the doctor replied with smile, "The symptoms are aligning for the situation you are right in now. So it seems okay to me. Now young men, I want to ask some questions from you as the police has handed over the task to me in case you wake up before they come next day and you wake up before. Is it okay?"
Although he was mostly failure in his previous life in terms of pursuing his dream life, he was a successful businessman who revived a almost dead business to success, so he had developed a composed and calm mindset which helped him now as he knows now is most crucial moment in his life, which will help him take his revenge.
In the last life, after the accident, although he was he was less seriously injured than Nazmul, it took him 7 days to wake up while Nazmul, who was although seriously injured in head, luckily wake up in the 5th day and give information to doctor and police which lead to the entry of his grandpa and the later events. But this time god knows why he wake up the same day of the accident.
Although Nazmul, in this life, at least till now didn't harm him, he couldn't let that snake have good life. He wouldn't kill him outright but make his life miserable as much as he can. If people say he is narrow minded or petty, he will gladly ask those people to experience 69 stabs and slit the throat first before giving any advice. After he mentally sorted out all the things inside his mind, he replied, "Ok. But can I know about my mom & dad first? Can I meet them?" although he knew they died, he need to act now to make his later story believable.
The doctor with a saddened face replied back, "Sorry. Both of them died. It's actually miracle for you to be alive and the other child. Oh. Who is the other child? You brother?"
"Huh. What? They died." Shams started his acting and cried out and continued, "The other child? Oh. Are you talking about Mofiz? No. He is not my brother."
[Mofiz is a slang name to call someone stupid or retarted in Bangladesh. And it's also believed in Bangladeshi Culture that meaning of name certainly effects a person's future and impression on others]
Hearing this the doctor replied, "Oh. Do you know anything about him? You know, it will help us locate his family and contact them. Also do you have any relative whom we can contact."
"His full name is Mofiz Ali. He is actually an orphan. His father was a Compounder, working in the hospital where my parents were working. As for his mother, as much as I know, she died while giving birth to him. Two years ago his father died. He only has his maternal grandparents who is living alone in Comilla, where we were going as we go there every year so that he can meet them. My parents took care of him out of sympathy but now that they are dead, god knows what will happen."
Shams knew from his previous life that his maternal uncle had extra marital affair with Nazmul's mother who was a widow which led to the birth of Nazmul. After they got caught, they were banished from the village and his maternal grandparents loath him as they were humiliated by the whole village for this incident which even led to big fight causing death of Nazmul's maternal uncle at the hand of his mother's late husband's relatives.
So he wants to start extracting his revenge on him. And due to lack of Birth Certificate and other documents in current situation in Bangladesh, which can prove Nazmul is related to him through his maternal side, have wrong names which is different for Shams's mother and maternal uncle. Thus it creates the best window for Shams's to maneuver by slowly sending Nazmul to hell's road.
"Oh. Then it's a pity but what about you boy? You don't have any relatives whom we can contact? You didn't mention" replied the doctor.
Hearing this, Shams again started reminiscing about his grandpa. Actually he was not a cold person told by his dad. Their relationship only deteriorated only when Shams's father ditch his fiancé, who was also his grandpa's friend's daughter and their marriage was settled way back in their childhood. And Shams's grandpa couldn't tolerate this humiliation and also his grandma died of stroke due to mental trauma thus creating the rift between father and son.
But the old men for whatever reason, after Shams's parent died, took care of him and spoiled him to much. Maybe he didn't want to loose last of his family member due to his face saving issues like he did with his son decade back. Also during his time, political turmoil was on the peak in Bangladesh, but yet he maintained his business in good shape and left considerable amount of wealth to Shams which helped later. Although Shams decided to hug the thigh of this huge named Mr. Mahbubur Rahman - millionaire businessman who is by the way is also his very own grandpa.
So Shams replied "I have relative – my grandpa. His telephone number I couldn't remember but his name is Mahbubur Rahman and address is Rahman Villa in Gulshan-2, Dhaka."
Hearing the name, the doctor was quite startled as the person the child in front of him called as his grandpa is a renowned millionaire businessman. He is also very influential person in the business sector of Bangladesh. Not only that, but it is also rumored that Mr. Mahbubur Rahman is a close associate of current military dictator, the President of Bangladesh - Hussain Muhammad Ershad and spend weekend with him regularly in Kurmitola Golf Gulf. So one can clearly see how much power this person carry, specially inside Bangladesh.
So the doctor again asked for clarify as he didn't want to fall into bad situation by calling this bigshot without any valid reason and waste reason, "Are you talking about Mr. Mahbubur Rahman? The Owner of Rahman Group?".
Shams replied with childish crying voice "Yes. I can't remember his phone number but can you please contact him. I am not feeling well and I'm afraid."
After confirming again the doctor replied, "Okay young man. You take rest now. I will contact your grandpa now. Hopefully when you will wake up again, you will find your grandpa here." After that, the doctor didn't wait long and went outside the ward.
Seeing that, Shams went back to sleep. Now he needs to fully rests as dying horribly by family members and later travel back into time does take toll on one's body and mind.
