Title: Take Ajo Bhulte Parini (তাকে আজও ভুলতে পারিনি)
Rahul aar Piyali—dujon ek shohorer noy, kintu ek golper. Gram Saradana'r chhoto ekta nodir dhare oder prothom dekha. Shoroter dupur, akashe komol alo, aar nodir jol dhire dhire boye jacchilo. Rahul shekhane bose chhilo, chokh bhora shopno niye. Tokhon Piyali ese daralo, haate ekta boi, chokhe ekta nishshobdo proshno.
"Eikhane boshe ki korcho?" – Piyali proshno korlo.
Rahul hashe bollo, "Shopno dekhi."
Sei din thekei oder kotha bola shuru. Prothome chhoto chhoto kotha—boi, porashona, gram, shopno. Tarpor dhire dhire sei kothagulo hoye uthlo bondhutto, aar bondhutto theke ekta obak rokomer anubhab—bhalobasha.
Piyali chhilo shanto, kom kotha bola meye. Rahul chhilo ulto—hasi, golpo, swapno diye bhora. Kintu dujoner majhe ekta jinish chhilo ekdom ek—tara dujonei chhilo shotti.
Din bodlate laglo. Protidin nodir dhare dekha, golpo, hasi, aar chhoto chhoto shopno. Rahul bolto, "Ekdin ami boro kichu korbo, aar tomake niye chole jabo ekta notun jaygay."
Piyali shudhu hashto—sei hasite chhilo bishwas, aar ekto bhoy.
Kintu shob golpo to shoja hoy na.
Ekdin Piyali asheni. Tarpor arekdin. Tarpor puro ek shapta. Rahul protidin nodir dhare boshe thakto, chokh rastae, mon bhanga proshne bhora. Kothao kono khobor nei.
Seshe ekdin Rahul jante parlo—Piyali'r biye fix hoye geche. Tar poribar onno jaygay niye jacche oke. Konodin fire ashbena.
Sei khobor shune Rahul nishshobdo hoye gelo. Moner moddhe jeno keu shob alo nibhe dilo. Se bujhlo—bhalobasha shob somoy pawa hoy na, kichu bhalobasha shudhu mone rekhe dite hoy.
Biye'r aager din, sesh barer moto Piyali elo nodir dhare. Dupur belar alo tokhon aste aste sondhye hoye jacchhilo.
"Rahul…" – tar kotha kompe uthlo.
Rahul kichu bolte parlo na. Shudhu takiye thaklo.
Piyali bollo, "Ami jachchi… amar kichu korar chhilo na."
Rahul dhire bollo, "Jani."
Dujoner moddhe onek kotha chhilo, kintu kono kothai ber holo na. Shudhu chokher moddhe shob kotha chhilo.
Seshe Piyali bollo, "Amake bhule jabe?"
Rahul ekto hashar cheshta kore bollo, "Cheshta korbo."
Kintu shei hashi chhilo shudhu mukher, moner noy.
Piyali chole gelo. Aar fire ashlo na.
Bochor kete gelo. Rahul ekhon ekta boro shahore thake, kaj kore, lokjon ache, byasto jibon. Kintu majhe majhe raat hole, jokhon shob shanto hoye jay, tokhon shei nodir kotha mone pore. Shei dupur, shei hasi, aar shei meye—Piyali.
Se nijeke onek bar jiggesh kore—"Keno bhulte parlam na?"
Hoyto karon, prothom bhalobasha shob somoy shesh hoy na. Sheta thake—mone, smritite, aar moner ekta gopon jaygay.
Ekdin Rahul abar gram e fire gelo—onek bochor por. Saradana'r nodi ekhono ache, jol ekhono boye jacche. Kintu shob kichu bodle geche.
Se nodir dhare boshe chhilo, ekdom shei purono jaygay. Batash e ekta purono gondho chhilo—mone holo jeno Piyali ekhono kothao ache.
Rahul chokh bondho kore mone mone bollo—
"Take ajo bhulte parini."
Batash jeno uttor dilo na, kintu nodir jol jeno bujhlo.
Rahul ar konodin Piyali ke dekheni. Kintu she bujhe gelo—kichu manush amader jibon e ashe, shudhu thakar jonno noy, amader bodle deyar jonno.
Piyali chole geche, kintu tar chhaya, tar hasi, tar kotha—shob kichu aaj o Rahul er moddhe beche ache.
Sei jonnoi, shob kichur poreo, ekta kotha shotti—
Take ajo bhulte parini.

Bhalobasha shob somoy pawa jay na, kintu haraleo sheta shesh hoy na. Amader jibon e kichu manush ashe, jara amader shikhie jay ki holo shotti bhalobasha, ki holo opekkha, aar ki holo haranor betha.
Ei golpo shudhu Rahul aar Piyali'r noy—eta prottek manusher golpo, je kokhono na kokhono karo jonno mon theke bhalobesheche, kintu shei manush ke peye o harieche.
Ami mone kori, prothom bhalobasha konodin purapuri bhola jay na. Sheta hoyto amader sathe thake na, kintu amader moddhe thake. Sheta amader ke shikhay kibhabe bhalobashte hoy, aar kibhabe harate hoy.
"Take ajo bhulte parini" mane holo—bhule jawa noy, mone rekheo shantite thaka. Smriti ke bojha na baniye, take ekta golpo baniye niye chola.
Jibon cholbe, notun manush ashbe, notun golpo hobe. Kintu kichu purono golpo thakbe—moner ekta nishshobdo jaygay.
Shei jaygay thake Rahul aar Piyali'r moto onek golpo. Aar shei shob golper moddhe amra nijeder ekta angsho khuje pai.
