অন্য কেউ
১৮ বছর ধরে নিখোঁজ
না নিখোঁজ ঠিক নয়
কিন্তু আঠারো বছর পর ফিরে গেলে, মানুষ কি নিজের পুরোনো জীবনটাই ফিরে পায়? নাকি সেখানে তার জায়গায় দাঁড়িয়ে থাকে অন্য কেউ?

Until Five in the Evening
For twenty-eight years, a father has watched his son live a life in which he does not exist.
Now, sitting beside him on a bus to a government office, he has been asked for one small favour: Don't be my father until five in the evening.
What follows is an ordinary day of paperwork, polite lies, and everything two people cannot bring themselves to say.
Because sometimes, the cruelest thing a father can do is pretend he isn't one.
Until Five in the Evening — a short story about the unbearable weight of a love that has no place on paper.
