It epitomizes the entire life of Javed, the principal character of the story, making progression in life in the midst of frequent fragmented turn of his journey but still making significant strides in life even though burdened by social and traditional impositions. Diametrically opposite to Javed's sober and steady approach to life was his high school headmaster, Mr. Hamid Ullah, a brilliant student of his time of the Bangladesh prime university who however lacked balance between emotions and reality. In that journey process and at that phase of life, he, notwithstanding brilliance and capacity otherwise, finally ended up by choice as a teacher of a community high school in a remote area. He was successful in making that school a prominent one, but that was nothing compared to his intellect and ability. Contrarily, a half-educated but wise and pragmatic rural lady, Tahera Khala, made a major mark in shaping Javed's progression, whereas a smart and outgoing very rich metropolitan housewife, Lady Khadija, lost everything due to a mismatch between pursuing social fame and standing with the concept open family and liberal attitude. Javed's real exposure to affluence and high-stake living was when, being requested by one of his academic well-wishers, started tutoring the only daughter of Lady Khadija. Here he fell victim to sudden indulgence of life without plan or premonition, the probable outcome of which haunted him all through life. Being unbound by the victim of the first but unintended incident, he pursued his life's journey with the only daughter he had in a regular married life. The intriguing climax of that saga culminating the end starts there.
