Rikta called me crying. I could not give him any solution. Because I didn't want a girl to run away from her parents. I couldn't imagine that my beloved person would become someone else for the rest of my life. I thought I would speak directly to Rikta's father. But before that Rikta told her father and he did not directly.
Rikta's number was off for a whole day and night. I did not know the full address of Rikta's house. But I knew the name of the district upazila and union. And since his father was the running chairman at that time, it is easy to find his house
normal
After leaving Chennai and approaching the Ganga river, a call came from an unknown number. But the Ganga Bridge was not built then. All vehicles used to cross by ferry or launch.
I heard Rikta's voice while receiving the call. The gist of what Rikta said in a shaky and tearful voice was,
" Angry with her father. Rikta attempted suicide due to her father's pressure. Then she was admitted to a hospital in Kolkata. Rikta recovered a little from the hospital and ran away from the hospital. The number she called was the number of her girlfriend. That girlfriend also studies together with Rikta. Rikta once went to their house in Kolkata. The girl's name is Surma, Surma herself was in Kolkata at that time due to vacation. So Rikta went to Surma's house and called me."
