Seeing the wives of the tenants living nearby, she went to earn money and asked if
"Where do you work? I want to work too."
Her husband, who started working in the doll factory, was in a hurry to earn a doll and eat it sitting. He quit his job as a watchman, citing his handling of the children.
Gudiya was left feeling sad, she thought that if both of them earn, then it will be easy to run the household expenses.
"What an irony that her husband made her a weapon of earning money"
Now she started grinding between two poles, job and housework. Slowly the children started growing up. Earnings started declining. After quarreling with her husband, she started asking her husband to go along with her. If he refused, the doll would abuse him. There was no strength in his body, but in compulsion he had to go to earn.
The education of the children was also left half-finished. Due to lack of money, neither he was able to get books properly nor could he feel like studying. Perhaps her children had the same fate as Gudiya. The children had grown up. He had started earning a little, but his husband still believed in eating while sitting at home. He was not helping in running his household expenses. Gudiya's daughter had become fit for marriage. Without money, Gudiya could not even think of marrying her because her husband was not bothered about this.
Due to excessive worry, the daughter also started looking old before time and a tension started showing on her face too. She also started going to the factory with her mother and started helping her mother. If someone had told a boy for her, then Gudiya would have refused by giving some excuse. Gudiya knew that she does not have the bread of June 2 to fill her stomach, so how will she get married?
The father-in-law had died in the in-laws' house. Gudiya had stopped going there too. Nand Devar was all married, but due to poverty, no one had a relationship with Gudiya and her family and she also did not try to relate with anyone. The marriages of sisters and brothers were done with great pomp in Pehar Paksha, but even there she was not invited and no relation was kept with her. Brother had reached a high position, earned well, had a lot of name too. Sisters also got married in a good house, but Gudiya's fate was the worst.
She was just 50 years old but due to not getting enough bread and growing worries, she started looking old prematurely. His eyes had become weak. There was no life in his hands and feet. One day she was lying on the bed remembering her past. Tears were flowing from his eyes. Today she did not want to have any relation with anyone. He was disillusioned with life. Now he had no hope left in life. She was unable to differentiate between her aunt Munia and herself. He had heard a lot about his aunt. Munia was killed by being pushed into the well and she was forced to die by this cruel society.
She started filling the sobs with her mouth pressed into the pillow and did not know at which time of the night she said goodbye to this world just like Munia.
