Next day I go to the train station. Girl comes into town, she’ll be at the bus station, the train station, or the ferry ghat.

All this time I haven’t tried to think about what Megna’s been doing for these ten years. In my dreamworld she was somewhere nice like in garments or a beauty salon. All the other things she could be doing, like begging on the street, I didn’t think about. Still I go to the train station because if she’s a beggar she would definitely be there. Before I go I call Shathi on the mobile. She answers on the first ring, like she’s been holding the phone in her hand. ‘I’m in Chittagong,’ I tell her.

I can hear her breathing on the other side of the phone. ‘Good,’ she says.

‘Are you crying?’

‘No.’

‘What happened, my mother did something?’

‘No. She hasn’t been well, she’s mostly been lying down.’

‘What is it?’

‘I had a dream you were never coming back.’
