Friends, I hope everyone is well, but I am sharing new stories with you every day. Your comments and likes are encouraging me to write more stories. I really like it when I see your nice comments about the story. I think my writing has been selfish. I'm trying to read your gossip and get new ideas from there. I am also trying to improve the quality of my writing. I hope you like today's story. But today's story is about a sad life, where dreams are shattered by river erosion.

The beginning of the story
Every human being has a dream in his life, with it comes the desire to fulfill that dream. In fact, people live with those dreams, to fulfill those dreams. No matter what we do, there is a motivation or interest behind every action, and this motivation or interest is built around our dreams. The illusion of life works because we have dreams, the effort is effective because we have a purpose in life. See those who are frustrated then they find no interest in any work.
But those who dream and those whose dreams of life are awake, never give up, but try to keep themselves effective in various ways and keep trying to fulfill their goals. At the end of the day each person imagines their dreams, they evaluate the progress. You and I all try to keep life moving with the hope of living our dreams.
Anis, a boatman from this village. He has nothing to say on his own, except for a boat, which he bought with a loan from a village moneylender. At the end of the day, a part of his income goes to the pocket of the moneylender. In fact, the poorest people in the village thus become more and more destitute and the people at the top make way for more upliftment. There are many people in our society like Anis, who are constantly working hard, but are filled with all the emptiness in the receipt book.
There is no such thing as a place for Anis to live, so in the area on the banks of the river, which is literally government land, there is no house to build a hut. He has a wife at home and an elderly mother. Anis has no children, so Anis does not regret it. Rather, I am very happy in my mind because if I have a child, where will the cost of feeding and reading come from? In fact, there is no such thing as a hobby of the poor, it is like Anis. Because hobby means cost, which is not possible for Anis.
Anis wakes up early every morning, then drinks a glass of water and takes a boat to the river. One day he got a trip somewhere far away and another day he tried to fish in the river without getting any trip. Because he has to earn some money every day, otherwise how to pay the debts of the moneylender? Besides, there are elderly mothers and wives in the house, and Anis has to take care of their food. Anis sometimes sinks into despair but still does not stop. Because he has a dream to own a piece of land and a house.

Anis does not know if that dream will come true one day? But Anis is not a person to be discouraged, she knows she will have a chance to fulfill her dream as long as she can keep herself effective. But from the day he stops, his dreams will start to get lost. So no matter what the storm or the rain or the hot sun, Anis doesn't stay at home but ignores everything and Anis goes out with the boat and spends the whole day in search of work. Anis knows she should not return home empty-handed, so everyone should not eat.
But Anis's dream is shattered or lost in the dark, the day the village chairman announces to build a bridge over the river. The sky falls on Anis's head, because Anis knows that if there is a bridge, the boat will not be appreciated, if there is a bridge, his house will not be on the river bank, he will be evicted. The river bank will be vacated. Anis does not know where he will go next? Where is his next destination? Anis can't find the answer to any question, she just sees darkness all around.
There are many more like Anis who used to run their families by boat, they will all become unemployed. Moreover, as the pollution of the river is increasing day by day, the number of fish is also decreasing. What will happen to Anis now? Everyone in the society plans for development, thinks of development but no one thinks about the Anis who are deprived of the benefits of the society? No one cares about their livelihood being ruined, this society and the people of this society are really strange. Those who are always busy with themselves.
Anis goes to the high people of the society, holds their hands and feet, they should not evict Anis's house, they should not build any bridge over the river. But Anis is a very insignificant person in the society, his words have no value, his demands are not evaluated. There is no one in this society to listen to Anis, everyone is busy only with their own interests. Anis doesn't see any light of hope even after trying a lot, Anis doesn't know what will happen to her? What will be the address of his wife and elderly mother?

Anis woke up very late that night and started walking towards the river - his wife called him from behind.
Wife: Where are you going all night?
Anis- to see your workplace for the last time
Wife- look like last time? What are you saying?
Anis- I didn't tell you, our work is over, there will be a bridge over this river
Wife- then what shall we eat? Where to go?
Anis- I don't know wife, I only know that we have no place in this society.
Wife- After breaking down in tears, oh God what will happen to us?
Anis's body was returned home the next morning. Because Anis doesn't want to lose her pain and her last home. Anis knows that no one in this society will listen to her while she is alive. No one will listen to his demands. The next day, pictures of Anis were published in all the national newspapers and the words of her claim were published. The government sympathized with his demand and he was given a piece of land officially free of cost. The place of Anis's house has been fixed but not while Anis is alive, but after her death.
The last word
This is happening all the time in our society, where hundreds of people like Anis do not hesitate to sacrifice their lives. Because they know that their lives are of no value to others, after their suicide perhaps the upper class people of the society do something for impunity. And it is in this hope that the Anis are forced to choose the path of self-sacrifice to advance their own demands from generation to generation.
But I don't know what evaluation can be done after life is gone. Yet it is good that Anis's wife has found a permanent place to live. But we may not know what their future holds, or we may not even try to know the story of their next life. But now people like Anis are freeing themselves from a life of pain.
Thank you.
