Calling bell er awoaaje, Dola uthlo. Tatokhone aamar bra o khule phelechilo Dola. Aamar dudu duto phule uthechilo Dolar tepa tipite. Mai er bota gulo sokto hoye daariye chilo.

Kichu khon pore dekhi duti chele eseche. Dola ekti cheleke jorie dhore chumu khete laglo. Cheletio Dolar dhaasa mai dutoke chotkate laaglo. Onnyo cheletio Dolake pechon theke joriye or saara sorir er upor haath bolaate laaglo. Dujone miley Dolar salwar kameej khule phello. Bra aar panty pora abosthey Dola chele dutoke thaamte bollo.
