Mr. Ahmed has just completed his graduation. He has not got any job yet. Some of his friends serve in Dhaka. So he came to Dhaka with a hope that his friends would help him getting a job.
Ahmed got shelter in one of his friend’s hostel. The name of his friend is M. Moktar Ali. Moktar serves in a small enterprise. He too was trying to acquire a better job. He shared his bed with Ahmed. He has to face several problems with his rural friend. He is not fully aware of the customs of the urban life.
Ahmed told Moktar about the worse situation of his family. He also told that has come to Dhaka in search for living. Ahmed requested his friend to search a job for him. Moktar consoled him saying that he would try his best for his friend. He advised his friend to apply for job where he applies. At this, Ahmed heaved a sigh of relief thinking that he would get a job within a few days.
After a few days, a new hope arose in Ahmed’s mind. He along with his friend had applied for a job in the city. They sent their CV to the institution. The employer institution has called them for interview. It was one kilometer away from their residence. So, being ready, two friends hired a rickshaw to reach their destination. Both of them were hopeful that they will get their desired job. But man proposes God disposes.
Their rickshaw was running through a busy road of the city. Suddenly a micro-bus hit the rickshaw a bit when it was overtaking another car. Moktar was steady in his place but Ahmed fell on road. At the very time, another micro-bus ran over him smashing both his legs. Moktar was entirely perplexed. Many people gathered there within minutes. Moktar took his friend to the nearest hospital with help of local people. Ahmed became handicapped for good. It is the irony of his cruel fate that he wanted to support his family but now he himself has become a burden for his poor family.
