A tragic death
The boy with a bright future is gone. He has left all of us and has gone to such a place from where he will never ever come to us. Sayem, a brilliant Dhaka University student of Psychology, was like my younger brother. He passed away on April 8, 2009 after suffering from cancer for almost a year. We met a couple of times and I have always found this boy sober and calm. He was ambitious and was always optimistic. He always looked at the positive sides of life. Even, the last time when I met him at the hospital a couple of weeks ago, he was hopeful and positive that he would recover soon and start attending his classes again. I was shocked when I heard about his death. It was unbearable for me to witness the death of such a young optimistic boy. Now, I can only tell myself, Sayem, my brother, today you are no more with us, but your memories will always be in our hearts and we pray to the Almighty for your eternal peace.
