Holiday trip silences them forever

Staff Correspondent
For the last few months, they all had been planning, scheduling, rescheduling, and discussing how school and university holidays could be complimented with leaves from work so that they could have quality time together at their village home.
Finally, everything fell into place and all was set. The nine of a family with their three house helps set out for Shariatpur from Indira Road in the capital early yesterday to avert traffic congestion.
Little did they know, they would never get there.
As they reached Kadampur in Keraniganj, a bus collided head on with their microbus killing all in the car except one house help. Nine of the 13 on board the microbus were family members of Zakir Hossain Sardar, chairman of Arshinagar Union Parishad in Vedarganj upazila of Shariatpur, three were domestic helps and the driver.
Zubair Shams Ribin, son of Zakir, rushed to Sir Salimullah Medical College morgue hearing the news. He tried to see his mother Shahnaz Parvin's and sister Lumaisa Lubab's bodies but relatives and police prevented him. They were concerned that Ribin would not be able to take it as the impact severely mutilated the bodies.
"There is my mother, lying down; my sister is sleeping. Let me see them, please," he kept saying lying down on the morgue yard. He passed out moments later only to regain consciousness and utter the
same words again.
Rozina Begum was Zakir's sister. She, her husband Rezaul Amin Lenin, their seven-year-old son Eash and nine-month-old daughter Ishra died in the accident.
Delawar Hossain Milon brother-in-law of Lenin said Eash's kindergarten-2 exams finished on Tuesday and he was really keen to visit their grandparent's home. He had to miss out on the trip last year as his mother was pregnant with his sister Ishra.
His insistence led to Lenin applying for leave at his office and going to Shariatpur with his family.
The lone survivor of the tragic accident was Kohinur Akhter, 15. She worked as a domestic help at Rozina and Lenin's home. She was fighting for her life in Dhaka Medical College Hospital with
injuries to her head.
Witness to the accident Babul Dewan said, "Everyone in the microbus was scattered, like lumps of flesh. No one seemed alive. Suddenly we noticed a girl on the back seat drenched in blood.
"She was slighdy moving her hand. We took her out and rushed to a local hospital and then to Dhaka Medical College Hospital."
Doctors at the neurosurgery department of DMCH said the girl sustained serious injuries in the head. Her condition was critical.
Rozina's sister Mina Begum and her university student son Sayem Hasan Babu also perished in the accident. Their bodies were kept at Combined Military Hospital. Their funerals would be held after Mina's son returns from a UN peacekeeping mission.
