Azad Rahaman, my dearest
Abbu, left for his eternal abode on May 16, 2020. He was laid to rest on top of his mother s grave at the Azimpur Graveyard in Dhaka.
He passed away on the 22nd day of Ramadan last year, when the world was fighting against the initial waves of the Covid-19 pandemic. He had experienced postoperative complications following a surgery. His children were away in Australia.
As I was finishing my remaining iftar just after the maghrib prayers, I suddenly felt a thud, as if something pushed me. I asked my daughter if she felt anything. She was surprised watching me shake, as there was nothing she could notice.
