Scene One: Morning in Atgram, Bogura
In a quiet village called Atgram in Bogura, lived Priya and PK.
Priya was a government primary school teacher—simple, kind, and dedicated. Every morning, she dressed neatly and walked to school with her books and chalks, while evenings were spent cooking and tending their home.
PK—known only by those two letters—was a farmer by heart and soul. No one really knew his full name, but everyone in the village respected his integrity, simplicity, and ever-smiling face. His hands were rough, his days were long, but his heart was generous.
Their home was modest—a tin-roofed house with marigold flowers blooming in the yard, and an old pond beside it. There was no luxury, but there was plenty of peace.
A Home Built on Love
Every evening, when Priya returned from school and PK from the fields, they would sit together sipping tea—hot and fragrant from red clay cups.
"Did you have a hard day?" Priya would ask gently.
PK would smile and reply, "Seeing your face makes all the tiredness disappear."
Their love was quiet, unassuming, yet strong—woven into everyday gestures, shared laughter, and silent understanding.
They had no arguments, no ego battles. What they had was mutual respect and warmth, like a soft fire in winter.
The Couple Everyone Adored
In Atgram, people often said: "Priya and PK—they are the soul of our village."
They weren’t just a couple; they were caretakers of the community.
When Hannan Kaka’s son fell seriously ill, Priya stayed up all night nursing him, while PK took over Hannan’s farm work the next day without a word.
Everyone noticed. Quietly, their actions became lessons in humanity.
The Storm Arrives
One afternoon in the field, PK collapsed. His fellow farmers rushed him to the local clinic, and then to the district hospital in Bogura.
The doctors diagnosed a severe blood infection—treatment was possible, but expensive.
Priya sold her jewelry, withdrew her savings, and took an advance from her school salary.
“Why are you doing all this?” PK asked weakly.
Priya replied, holding his hand tightly, “If you live, I live. This life is ours—together.”
Recovery and a New Resolve
After two difficult weeks, PK returned home—frail but smiling.
Villagers brought fruits, eggs, or just came to sit by his side. Their presence was love.
That day, PK said, “I want to live not just for myself or you, but for this village.”
Inspired, PK and Priya started a cooperative for local farmers, helping them get better prices and training.
Priya also began a weekend learning circle for village girls—where they learned not only academics but life skills and the courage to dream.
An Award of Happiness
A year later, the Bogura District Administration honored them with the "Happy Family Award"—recognizing their simple life filled with purpose.
On stage, Priya said:
“Happiness isn’t about wealth. It’s about having someone who stands by you in sickness, in fatigue, in joy. It’s about building a home where love is louder than anything else.”
The audience stood up and clapped. Not out of politeness, but from the heart.
The End is a Beginning
Today, Priya and PK still live in their little home in Atgram.
The house hasn’t changed. Their lives remain humble.
But they’ve changed others. Through kindness, they taught a village that happiness is not in money or status—
Happiness lies in love, respect, empathy, and shared dreams.
