On 10th July 2007 I had an invitation to one of my Cadet friend’s Marriage Ceremony. Grand and colorful as it was supposed to be, the Center Hall was full of esteem guests and beautiful ladies from Dhaka. I entered there at 9 PM, blaming my half died car all the way, took a seat among my friends from Cadet College. By now, most of them got married and only a few poor souls like me are left behind, so the gathering becomes more of a introduction to the spouses (to be) of our friends.
Since I was not in Buet, and most of my friends actually were, so apparently I am the last person in getting to know the wives and Girlfriends of my friends. Any occasions that I take part, I see new faces. The never ending flow of the better halves makes me wonder that where was I when everybody else has grown up so much and advanced in family formation. I look up my forehead for head covering hairs, and they are revolting too!Back to the topic, I went there and met my old friends, old vabis (hmm..why I am using this term old vabi?), new vabis, new born polapans, new upcoming vabis, yet to be materialized polapans and a new vabi to be. Why this special mention for the last one? She is none other that one of my closest friends Shahriar’s life partner. In cadet college he was one whom I really used to like and who actually did not dislike me (I bet, among very very few), and we were of same house. The moment I saw his wife (Her name is Nobonita) my mind filled up with appreciation and gratitude. She is definitely the most beautiful girl I have seen in this year, and probably the most beautiful girl I have seen in my whole life, with matching personality, behavior and voice. Who does not like seeing his one of the best friend getting what he deserves?
In my life I always believed that if you are a good man (or woman, lets say) you will definitely get same kind of person as your wife or husband. In years I saw many of these good guys suffered in finding good job, exposure or education (which are unfortunately benchmarks of good prospective husband) but finally blessed with the best gift in their conjugal life. I knew two very good person in my house- Razib and Shahriar (well.. three, another is Ehsanul) and Alhamdulillah, Razib already has been blessed with a very good life partner, different from everyone and extra-ordinary. Now my friend Shahriar reinforced my belief about marriage further, Allah knows very well whom to award with perfect wife like Nobonita.
I will say it again, Allah matches accordingly in a marriage, a good with a good, and a bad with a worse.
