ঘুমে বিঘ্ন

By -
যথারীতি আজ আমি বিলম্ব করে ঘুমোতে গিয়েছিলাম। ভোর পাঁচটার দিকে সম্ভবত। সকাল দশটার দিকে আচমকা কলিং বেল বেজে উঠলো। অসময়ে ঘুমে বিঘ্ন ঘটানোয় আমি কিঞ্চিত বিরক্ত। উল্লেখ্য আমার ঘরটা  দোতলায় অবস্থিত আর সদর দরজা নিচতলায়। তবে, কেউ কলিং বেল চাপলে আমাকে নীচতলায় না গেলেও চলে। কারণ- দোতলায় সুইচ লাগানো আছে, তাই আমি সুইচ চাপার সঙ্গে সঙ্গে নীচতলার সদর দরজা খুলে যায়। আর সুইচের পাশে একটা ফোন লাগানো আছে, যা দিয়ে দর্শন প্রাথীর সাথে যোগাযোগ করা যায়, তাই গেট না খুলে আগে জিজ্ঞাসা করলাম ''কে ?''
ওপাশ থেকে অজ্ঞাত এক নারী কন্ঠে জবাব এলো ''আমি একটা প্রচারনায় এসেছি, আপনার সাথে কথা বলতে চাই।''
আমি জিজ্ঞাসা করলাম, ''কি বিষয়ে ?''
ওপাশ থেকে উত্তর এলো, ''আমি যিশু খ্রিস্টের বিষয়ে কথা বলতে চাই, আপনি কি যিশু খ্রিস্টের পৃথিবীতে আগমনের কারণ সম্পর্কে জানতে আগ্রহী ?''
আমি হাই তুলতে তুলতে জবাব দিলাম, ''জী না, ধন্যবাদ।''
বিছানায় ফিরে গেলাম, কিন্তু ঘুম ততক্ষণে বিদায় নিয়েছে। তাই কম্পিউটার নিয়ে বসে পরলাম।
