               B :   We called the police as soon as it happened and the police was

               Sambodhan   :  I  heard  some  loud  noises  in

                                  your locality yesterday. What
                                  was that?

               Swaviman         :  You  don’t  know?  Samip’s
                                  father passed away, last night.

               Sambodhan   :  Alas! That’s tragic. How did it
                                  happen?

               Swaviman         :  He  had  been  on  bed  for  the
                                  last  three  weeks.  They  say,

                                  “He had a bone cancer.”
               Sambodhan   :  Wasn’t he taken to the hospital?

               Swaviman         :  He was but the doctor said that the
                                  condition  was  fatal.  So  they  didn’t

                                  like  to  waste  the  money.  Instead
                                  they tried to keep him happy in his

                                  final days.
