His mother reassures him it was just a dream and urges him to get ready for school. Rajib then inquires about his resemblance to his grandfather, specifically his facial features. Upon arriving at school, Rajib feels an overwhelming urge to turn back. He returns home and spends the entire day confined to his room, feigning illness to his mother. In the evening, he seeks solace on the terrace as the sun sets, experiencing a sensation of drowning and holding his breath. The narrative suggests Rajib's avoidance of school and his internal struggles are linked to his appearance and perhaps the stories or perceptions surrounding his grandfather, leading to isolation and distress. The story hints at deeper psychological issues Rajib is grappling with, possibly related to self-identity and societal pressures.","The Absent Boy Bina Theeng  \ndidibahini  \n“Rajib!
