Tears in my eyes, but said firmly, I love someone very much! But I don’t know his name. I used to stand at Kurmitola bus stand everyday for him. Maybe we will not go from today.
He said, love him a lot, don’t you? But could you tell him at least once?
I told him, I am an ordinary tea seller. No one will understand the importance of my words.
Suddenly he said, thank you!
I asked, why thanked?
He said again, thank you! So long to take my responsibility! Thank you for following me through the streets in the dead of night and bringing me home safely! Thanks for standing at Kurmitola bus stand every day! Thanks for waiting in the hot sun and rain.
