A 7-seven year old girl wrapping a messy blanket around her was sleeping on a plastic mat under a tree inside Suhrawardy Udyan.Her maternal grandmother Rupjan Begum with the best affection was trying to wake the girl up. But she gave little response.It was then that she woke up when her grandmother said, “If you wake up late, when will you sell flowers and if you can’t sell flowers, how will you buy a piece of land?”On hearing this, this reporter went to talk with them and came to know this seven years old girl has become owner of a piece of land.Rupjan said that they slept at night under a shed inside the Udyan.Sumayia was unable to open her eyes as they did not have a sound sleep at night for mosquitoes.One the other hand, some people came for physical exercise to the Udyan in the early morning and this forced them to go under the tree.Rupjan said that Sumayia’s father had passed away several years ago and left behind two sons and two daughters.The girl’s mother Hanufa Begum got married again and she is now living with her husband and two children with him at Aagamasi Lane in Old Dhaka. Symayia has been living with her grandmother since very early age.Every day Sumayia’s mother Hanufa buys flowers and gives Sumayia to sell. The profit she makes by selling flowers is saved to her grandmother.As she is selling flowers at this early age of her life, many Dhaka University students and the visitors at the Udyan buy flowers from her and sometimes they pay more money than actual price.Sumayia saved all the money and bought a piece of land at Tk. 52,000 at her village. “Sumayia’s father isn’t alive and the mother is busy with her family. So I have to make her future safe,” her grandmother Rupjan Begum said.When asked whether she is the owner of a land, Sumayia replied with a smile: “I don’t know, grandma knows.”(The article originally published in Bangla edition of Jagonews24.com is written in English by Zahidul Islam)
