The scene was done, people walked away.

By the night of the alleyway, people were hanging out with the sultry workers. The neon lights were glittering on the billboards as some went fused. It was rainy and the vintage cars from the 70s were stored in the parking lot of the bar. The alley walls were crimson red as bricks as it looked like a world class wine inn. It was only a one storied building but huge than the houses of the American neighborhoods. Those bars were rare to find in Bangladesh during 2008.

A film-noir-esque feel was coming to the field. Antara- this time, alone was walking into the bar. The bespectacled man was drinking red wine in the bar table. His body was warmed up. Antara was on the chair opposite to him but did not notice. Contrary, the man noticed Antara.

"Aminah!" called the man who was reminded of his own lover but she continued to ignore him.

Until, the insane amount of calling her, she responded

"Excuse me, are you talking to me?" asked Antara. "Or are you flirting with me?"

"I have seen you somewhere, you have reminded me of her" said the man.

"I see" said Antara. "By the way, I am Antara"

"Shezan" said the man.

"Seems like, I know you. Would you like to spend some night with me?" whispered Antara.

To Shezan's shock, he felt that love was back to him. On the other hand, he was nervous due to her psychotic behavior. His past with Aminah was unbearable and understandable.

Then Antara grabbed his hand tight and took him through the stairs to the room. The room had only pink lamps and red curtains with brown wallpapers. On the center, there was a huge double bed. She gently pushed him to the bed with a sultry smile on her face. Shezan was also smiling. When she was about to jump on to his body, he tried to avoid but still, Antara was trying to grab him.

"Please, have make love with me. I am hungry over you. Roar!" whispered Antara.

Shezan tried to roll away from her body.

"Please!" continued Antara.

"Please, have 100 taka or thousand! NOOOOOO!" cried Shezan.

After she forced Shezan into love-making, his 'little thing' got up. The rest was history. They slept. The morning rose. Shezan's sleep was so deep that Antara/Aminah woke up and saw herself half nude with shirt. She was shocked with fear that she even lost her memory. There were cigarettes on the ash tray beside her. She even saw that her side on the bed was wet. It was so shocking and terrifying even that she never thought of that result.

"Where am I?" exclaimed Aminah.

She looked at Shezan.

"What the hell are you doing, Shezan?" screamed Aminah.

Shezan woke up. He was almost full naked. But, after love he wore the underwear. He was nervous again.

"I didn't do anything! You did, Antara!" said Shezan in a low tone.

"What?! Who the hell is Antara?" shouted Aminah.

"Oh! God! Don't you remember? You even forced me to make love!" screamed Shezan.

Aminah was surprised. But as Shezan realized the consequence, he ran out with the underwear-naked.

"Oh God! Why the hell am I with Shezan!" said Aminah in a lower tone.

The day after that, Aminah rushed to meet Dr. Jehangir at the cabin.

Dr. Jehangir was so shocked that he stood up from his cabin desk.

"What's wrong, dear?" exclaimed Jehangir.

"Could I have a glass of water, please?" asked Aminah.

Aminah sat down on the chair.

The cabin was filled with files that were kept on the long tables. The large windows were such that there were coconut trees surrounding it. In the center, there was an antique desk where the British used to sit for the East India Company. The couch was of the kings where they play chess. The wallpapers looked like the wallpaper of a cabin log. She felt mesmerized by the renovation of the cabin which previously was dark, grey, modern, dull and cloudy or else, a regular psychiatric office while they were at their first appointment. In the walls, there were certificates and pictures of the doctor's previous achievements. Compare to that, the renovation looked wacky and colorful but elegant and classy.

As she drank water, she clearly saw the room.

"It's a beautiful room, uncle" surprised Aminah.

"It is and it's the special one. Shall we start? What are you feeling today?" said Jehangir with a smirk on his face.

Her body language was simple and straight but turned herself into an erotic gesture by seating relaxingly on the seat and had the sultriest smile. She was also holding a grape from the basket.

"I am feeling sensual!" moaned Aminah.

"Aminah, is that you?" asked Jehangir.

"Why do you guys ask about Aminah? Isn't she weak? Anyway, allow me to introduce myself-I am Antara" said Aminah in a clumsy voice.

She even raised her hand straight that she could offer a hand kiss from the doctor. But the doctor shook her hand instead that made her a little uncomfortable and a little relaxing.

"Pleasure to meet you" said Jehangir.

"You too, sir" said Aminah.

"So, you are Antara. What do you think about Aminah?" asked Jehangir.

"Aminah. She's weak and very complaining. Whenever she gets late at home or do anything wrong, I always break the glass and yes, the only person who stops me is Amelia" said Aminah/ Antara.

"So, why do you press your lips all the time?" asked Jehangir.

"I do it because, I love make-up" said Aminah/Antara.

"Hmm...How many of you are here at home?" asked Jehangir.

"There are three of us" said Antara.

"Do they know each other?" asked Jehangir.

"No, she knows only about Amelia who thought of her, being a child twin in a separate body. I came to be here later on and I became the protector of her body because she is frail, feeble and never had the guts to be brave" said Antara.

"Why didn't you show up on the day when people got Aminah out of the house?" asked Jehangir.

"I was watching and laughing at the incident because of not only Aminah's doings but also Amelia's" said Antara.

Suddenly, Antara became paranoid. Her body transformed into straight and simple. But Dr. Jehangir was surprised of her change of body and her confident voice turned low.

"Are you okay, doctor uncle?" asked Aminah.

Dr. Jehangir quickly changed his expression into a regular one.

"Aah! Yes, I am okay" gasped Jehangir.

After Aminah left the cabin, he took out his laptop and started to shift the voices of Aminah and Antara from his cell phone. Then he started his video on his laptop webcam-

Hello,

This is Dr. Jehangir Ahmed. This is my first vlog video on one of my special patients, Aminah Marcia Khan. This is to be confirmed that she is suffering from dissociative identity disorder. In which means, the switch of identities, characters and voices. Her alters-Antara and Amelia are the problems of her life. As the first appointment was held on 15th December 2007, the second appointment was today- 5th January 2008. I first absorbed her when I went out to meet my old friend and he introduced me to her. This is only the beginning of my active treatment to the disorder and this is the first time, she reminded me of someone personal, like a daughter...I will get back into that to the later vlog videos. But yes, it is to inform you all that, I Dr. Jehangir Ahmed is absorbing her first that I could treat her. And I have a feeling that she has childhood trauma. Therefore, I would like to repeat, that it is the beginning of the mental surgery.

Dr. Jehangir went to his house and saw Shezan who was lying under the bed blanket.

"What happened, son?" inquired Jehangir.

"Love really bites! I haven't showered for a day and still naked!" said Shezan in high pitch.

Dr. Jehangir chuckled.

"You are such a kid! Go and shower!" said Jehangir.

"Okay, poppa!" said Shezan continuously on high pitch.
