Addicted to You
Episode : 3
Tanisha Sultana

Ahona has become the mother of a baby girl. Atia Begum is staring at the phone screen. Her little daughter. The one who always used to run around holding her mother's hand. That girl has become a mother. A baby as cute as the moon, she is playing with her hands and feet. Ahona, a piece of Atia Begum's liver, is lying tiredly next to her.
It has been many years since the girl was seen from the front. She is not hugged and cherished. As soon as she entered college, she got involved with a boy from Switzerland. She decided to get married. Neither Hafizur Chowdhury nor Atiya accepted her decision. As soon as she turned eighteen, she moved to Switzerland with that boy. She forgot her mother and grandfather.
Atia Begum's two children are many miles away from her. Sometimes they talk on the phone a little bit. She also wants to live under one roof with her children. She wakes up to see her children's faces. She hears her mother calling. Two drops of water drip down the phone screen. She does not forget to pray for her daughter and granddaughter with all her heart. At that moment, Atia Begum's phone rings.
As soon as I received the call and picked it up, I heard the son's serious voice.
"Mom, I sent the ticket. Your flight is tomorrow at six in the morning. I don't want to hear anything else."
Atia took a deep breath. She wiped the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand and said in a dirty voice.
"I can't leave the orphan girl behind. Wait three months. Let Adri's father come home. I will explain the girl to him and then go to you."
"F***ing sympathy," Abrar said, "and
"I sent two tickets."
Atia Begum was a little surprised. Her son sent two tickets? Did I hear that right? Abrar wants to take Adri to him?
"If Adri doesn't want to go,
"They will pull you by the ears."
The bass call is disconnected. Atia Begum smiles softly. Finally, Adri and Abra will face each other.
___
Adri is sitting with three girlfriends and a friend on the university grounds. She is not feeling well at all. Adri, who always has a smile on her lips, has a dirty face today. The queen of chatter has a frown on her face.
Shuvo has already poked Adri several times. He is tired of asking "What happened?" Still Adrita does not open her mouth. She looks at Annie playing on the grass in the distance with her head on her knees. She takes Annie with her wherever she goes. No one in the Chowdhury family likes her that much. She looks for an opportunity to throw her away.
"Hey Adri, look, your Asif Adnan is coming towards us."
He quickly raised his head. He kept looking around. Seeing a tall young man entering the university gate, a smile appeared at the corner of his dirty lips. He put his hand in his hair and straightened it. He swallowed hard and said, "Masha'Allah."
Adrita loves this young man. A little too much.
In her dreams, she only has this man. Needless to say, she skips classes to sit in the field to see this man. But she has never had the courage to stand in front of him. She has never been able to look him in the eye and tell him about her love. She has thought many times that she will propose today, but she has not been able to muster the courage.
Memories come back to haunt me.
"Adri, this is your chance to tell him what's on your mind today."
Adrita wets her lips with her tongue. She looks away from Asif's cup. She closes her eyes and thinks about something. She immediately opens her eyes and looks at Asif's cup again. He comes to Annie and stops. He kneels down and raises his right hand and lifts Annie into his lap. Now he holds her close to his chest and kisses her lips. Adrita's throat goes dry. It's as if the kiss isn't Annie's but her cheek. Her ears get hot with embarrassment. She stands up panting. Seeing Adrita standing, the others also stand up. Esha says
"What's wrong, Adrita? What are you thinking?"
Adrita doesn't answer. Shubh frowns and says
"Why are you blushing, Adu? Did you go to Cox's Bazar with Asif Adnan in your dream?"
The others laughed. Adri rolled her eyes at Shuvo. Just then, a beautiful, smiling voice came out.
" Adrita
Is the cat yours?
Memories pricked Adrita. Asif slowly looked at Adnan's face. Her chest was trembling. The man's body was filled with the scent of gents' perfume. She felt so drunk. She wanted to dip her nose in the white panjabi and absorb all the scent.
Asif, not getting a response from Adri, plays the turi in front of her face. Adrita is startled.
Memories are said
"Ekchueli, brother. He loves you. That's why he's getting nervous."
Asif frowns. Adrita closes her eyes and frowns. Is this how you say it to her face? Which way will Adrita run now? Which way will she run?
Asif immediately laughed.
He tapped Adrita's forehead with two fingers and said,
"If you love someone, you have to tell them." Words accumulate in your mind. They rot.
Everyone said, "Ohhhhh, hooooo." Adrita lowered her head in shame. She felt like she was going to break through the ground and enter.
Asif put Annie down. Then he grabbed Adrita's right hand and lifted it up. He pulled a pen from his memory and wrote his phone number down. And immediately let go of her hand.
Adrita is staring at Asif with wide eyes. Did the man hold her hand?
"Call me."
I will wait.
Then?
Then Asif Adnan went inside the university, leaving behind Adrita and her friends, who were standing stunned.
Is it that easy? Does that mean Asif Adnan also liked Adrita? Hahahaha
___
When she returned home, she saw Atia Begum sitting in the drawing room with two large suitcases packed. She looked very indifferent. Is her older sister driving her out of the house? Her chest trembled. Worried, Adrita took Annie off her lap and ran to sit next to Atia Begum. She hugged her with both hands and rested her head on her shoulder.
"Mom, where are you going? Why didn't you tell me? I'd go and come back a little later, so would you leave me alone?"
Atia Begum smiles and places her hand on Adrita's.
"I'm sitting here for you. I'll take you."
"Where?"
"In Switzerland"
Adrita's forehead creased. She let go of Atia.
"Why? To your son?"
"Look at that baby.
"How long will I stay?"
"Ten to fifteen days."
"Really?"
"Hmm, now hurry up and change your clothes."
"Hmmm"
Adrita stood up. As she took a few steps forward, she remembered Annie. If she left, who would she leave Annie with? She turned around and asked in an instant.
"Mom Annie?
"He's going with us too."
Who else is Adrita happy to see? She dances to the room. She writes down her number on the notepad and then looks at the bed and sees her clothes kept there.
Sometimes Adrita doesn't even feel like giving Atia Begum a few kisses. Why is this man so good?
This is the one who has even arranged the clothes for Adrita to wear.
He entered the washroom, saying "I love you, mother, a thousand times" in his mind. It took him about ten minutes to get ready. And he got Annie ready too.
___
The calling bell kept ringing. Abrar frowned in annoyance. An English movie was playing on the monitor. He was enjoying the movie with great attention.
He paused the movie on the monitor and got off the bed. He straightened his messy hair with strong hands and left the room. By then, Siam had opened the door. Four men entered one by one, they were Abrar's friends. Nihan, Aman, Ivan, Ahad.
They are not silent at all when they enter. First, they hold Siam by the hand. And they keep asking him questions one after another. Basically, if he does not get the correct answer to the question, he will not be let down.
Siam screamed and said
"I like Abrar's sister. And Abrar is bringing his sister to Switzerland just for me. She'll be landing in two hours."
They made Siam lie down on the sofa.
A few hours ago, Siam said in their chat group, "Guys Abrar loves me very much."
This is all. They immediately dropped their work and rushed to Abrar's house to solve the mystery.
Abrar watched all their activities. Immediately, he checked his watch. It was four minutes past three. He had to leave for the airport right away.
_____
Adrita is not used to long journeys. And this is her first time traveling by plane. She was very excited. She thought she would reach Switzerland by the time the clouds rolled in. But she spent the entire journey sleeping. She fell asleep as soon as the plane landed. And she has been regretting it ever since.
After receiving the luggage, Abrar was seen collecting it and moving forward. Atia Begum saw it. Adrita didn't pay attention to it. She was busy showing Annie around the airport.
"Oh, Annie. If only I could have come here with your father, Asif Adnan. Then I could have returned with a new sibling for you."
He said it quite loudly, and immediately after finishing speaking, he collided with something solid.
Adrita frowns in annoyance. Pallab's eyes instantly widen. What is this, brother? How can someone be this tall? And why are you looking at her like this? Is it because you're pushing her? Dad, Dad is looking at her as if he's going to swallow Adrita raw and not even burp her.
It was like a giant. Adrita swallowed hard. Looking to the side, she saw Atia Begum crying, holding the giant's hand. The clever Adrita realized that this was Abrar's Tasneen.
So he tries to smile a little, salutes with one hand and says,
"Assalamu Alaikum, big brother."
Are you okay? I'm okay too. Are you okay? I'm okay too. So let's go.
As he spoke, he passed by Abrar and left. Abrar shouted, "Asif Adnan."
