Savar and the father of Nadia, was trapped under the wreckage in the early hours of Monday while working on the third floor of Spectrum Sweaters Limited. He is feared to be among hundreds of people buried alive under the rubble.
"Ma (Nadia) is growing up by the day, I can't keep her with me for long. She will leave us once she gets married. We will go around the fair on Pahela Baishakh after drawing my salary on Wednesday," Shahera Begum, the mother, quoted Nazrul as saying before leaving for work at 7:30pm last Sunday.
"My girl and I went to the police station and hospitals in Savar several times but could not get his body or any information about him as yet. Could we not see him one last time?" Shahera asked.
Shahera and her daughter are one of hundreds of families now wandering desperately from tent to tent where the dead and wounded lay, carrying with them photographs to find out whether the rescuers have retrieved the bodies of their near and dear ones.
"Khoda (God) give my nephew back, it does not matter if he is paralysed," said a bawling Shilpi Begum, who came here Tuesday from Shibpur of Pabna seeing the news on TV channels.
"I will wipe away all your sorrow. Give me sometime to establish," Russell, 14, a knitting section employee of the collapsed factory, had told his aunt last February, referring to his uncle who is addicted to heroin, during what would prove to be their final meeting.
"Did I bring him here only to die," Shilpi wailed. She had kept Russell with her since her sister
died when he was only five months old.
"Russell had asked for a day's leave on that night but the supervisor turned him down. Had the supervisor allowed him to go on leave, Russell might not have died," said a wailing Parul, Russell's cousin and an employee on the day shift of the same factory, as she knelt by a coffin prepared to carry bodies from the site.
