SYLHET BURNER CELL 1

Saturday 9th November 2024. I arrived at Sylhet Airport with mum. I am British Bangladeshi born in 1987. I have travelled to Bangladesh twelve times from 1991 – 2024. In November 2024, I have lived in England 1 City for 14 years. The departure date from Sylhet was Friday 31st January 2025. This was the vacation I had the objective to achieve the Sylhet Associate title. The single 37 years old British Bangladeshi and not married. I found myself in the situation as the Foreigner in Sylhet. My objective  was to secretly meet the 26 year old girl. I have known this girl for five years. The story dates back to one dark evening on November 2019. 

The Names will be Categorised as Shwapno1, Plan B, Plan A, Plan A Sister, Monument1, Plan B older sister, Plan B brother in law, Plan A Rikibazaar. The reason is to avoid exposing real names of the person who I am aware off. I am not familiar with Plan B older sister name and Plan B brother in law name. I know the names of the other characters. Sylhet has reputation for the audiece being Conservative minded is the reason the characters real names been hidden and are  categorised. Trust me this will be a legendary story. The readers interested on the real life situations taken place at Sylhet.

November 2019, Winter time arrived in Location 1 and the humid heat in Sylhet helped me burn excess calories. I arrived in Sylhet for the second time in the 2019 calendar at age 32. The second visit I travelled with Emirates. This was the first time I was travelling to Bangladesh alone. I transformed Monument to the Athletics Tracks when I made me presence. I was the regular customer at Shwapno. The first girl I met at Shwapno categorised as Shwapno1. Shwapno1 works at the cosmetic department. The regular visit at Shwapno resulted me to get known from the workforce. The time I arrived in Sylhet I had the Associates title. I was achieving recognition faster than the Express Train. I was at the age to settle down and get married. My age was 32 and I had the skills to adapt in Sylhet considering I survived the Hardship Lesson in England 2 City in 2010, Hardship Lessons in England 1 City in 2017. The second visit to Sylhet is when I met Plan B. 

Plan B was the member of Shwapno workforce on the shop floor. She was student at MC College. My first conversation with Plan B was telling her I know Shwapno1. Shwapno1 was the first girl I met at Shwapno in March 2019. My communication with Shwapno1 progressed from March 2019 to October 2019. As time went passed the communication levels with Shwapno1 became distant. I began taking the interest in Plan B alternative when Plan A failed. At the first three weeks, the Plan A alternative failed. When the first Plan A failed, there was a new Plan A candidate. I managed to get the substitute Plan A number on Tuesday 12th November 2019. I had two Sylheti born female age 22 – 25 numbers saved on my phone. The number arrived at the Sylhet Burner Cell and transferred to the home Andriod phone. I had one Plan A option resulted me to chose the supermarket worker as Plan B. In order to forget about the Plan A option I needed to secure the Plan B number. 

Friday 22nd November 2019. I spent the Friday visiting relatives house distance away via rickshaw, evening meal at Arcadia Shopping Mall and then the walk back to the local area. The walk took me from Arcadia Shopping mall to the Monument. I entered the Monument, I recognised the  couple chilling at the Monument. 

The couple and the girl are sitting down at the Monument. Friday 15th November 2019 run, I decided to use Friday as my social. My Friday evening runs at the first three weeks resulted to recognise familiar faces at the location. From the couple, my eyes paid attention to the women who had her eyes on me while I completed the runs. I had seen them previous week. Friday 22nd November 2019 I approached the couple and then I recognised the Plan B who works at Shwapno. I said her name. The man said how did you recognise her in the dark? I replied I visit Shwapno on regular basis to know who she is. The conversation started, the Plan B introduced the couple as her older sister and her brother in law. The married couple were from United Kingdom and they were on holiday. Plan B older sister was few years younger than me and Plan B brother in law was few years older than me. I was to be part of their inner circle conversation. They Plan B older sister and Plan B brother in law were familiar with who I am. They said they seen me on regular basis at the Monument. 

At the stairwell, there was audience at least 20 people witnessing me making the move. The person shouts my name, I replied in loud voice can you not see I am having a private conversation. The people on the stairway laughed. The Plan B and her older sister laughed. You know Plan B brother in law was encouraging me to cause violence. Who was the person the person calling me from the stairwell? He is the vital character as the story develops. 

The audience, the person who approached me is categorised as Monument1. He approaches me, acknowledges me and goes back to his group. He is from area close to Monument. While I use to complete my runs at Monument, him and associates use to chill there. The time arrived where I did not stay in one place. I avoided the local by running to various locations in Central Sylhet. This resulted me to get the attention from the ladies who work at Shwapno. 

The convention developed where the Plan B brother in law was trying to get intel on me. He was aware I travelled with Emirates. When he seen my phone, he replied you leave the Andriod phone at home and walk out the house with low budget phone. He sensed I was street smart. He then gave me intel he worked in a restaurant in Brighton. The Plan B brother in law pointed at the the alleyway close to the monument  and advised me to stay away from its dangerous. I did not take his advice by I ignored him with silence in front of his wife and the Plan B. From the conversation I was familiar with few girls names who work at Shwapno. My body language was like, I do my shopping there on regular basis. I am gonna pay attention to details when I am interacting with Shwapno female employees.

While Plan B brother in law was getting intel on me, the Plan B older sister was asking me questions like who do I prefer Plan B or Shwapno1? I did not have an answer. As time went by, I got interrogated. I decided to leave the location and I said good bye to all three of them. This was the last time I seen her in Monument and I lost my chance to get Plan B number. I stood up walked on stop lighted up a cigarette looked towards Plan B direction for the final time. The Plan B brother in law did not look, Plan B did not look. Plan B older sister locked eye contact fully focussed on me before I walked towards the exit of the Monument while her husband failed to intimidate me. 

I did continue going to Shwapno, the Plan B was working as Horlicks representative. She was earning commission on sales plus the basic on top. Before leaving the premises, I approached her and bought the horlicks product for her. As time went by, I would ask about Plan B older sister and Plan B brother in law. There was one point she told me her brother in law and older sister  visited the store. Did I see Plan B brother in law and Plan B older sister after the night at Monument? Yes I seen them twice. 

The next day after I seen the couple with socialising with someone else at Monument. I walked passed in the afternoon before my running session. The reason I was in area was because I was getting breakfast to takeaway. I seen the couple at the Monument. While Plan B brother in law sat silenty, the Plan B older sister was trying to get intel if I am local. I replied yes I am local. Second time I seen them was weeks later on the busy Zindabazaar area. The Plan B older sister was with her mate going to meet her husband. While I continued running the Plan B older sister was impressed smiling at me as I departed and Plan B brother in law said be careful. This was the last time I seen them. 

The visits to Shwapno attracted me to Plan B in many ways. Her warm smile made me want to propose to her for marriage. I was a single 32 year old developing marathon status in Sylhet. I climbed up the hierarchy from Apprentice to Associate when I arrived in October 2019. The first time, I visited Shwapno I got to know Shwapno1. I was the Apprentice in Sylhet when Shwapno1 seen me approach her. The second visit I was promoted as the Associate making moves to the Plan B and Shwapno1 was the witness watching from the cosmetic department. The target was to get Plan B number before I departed from Bangladesh on Thursday 19th December 2019. 

Tuesday 17th December 2019, my social media publicity on Monday 16th December 2019 became public news. I presented the Freedom Fighter the framed Freedom Fighter Document on Bangladesh 48 years Victory Day. My publicity attracted the Bangladeshi Market in Sylhet, London, Paris, Dubai and New York. The final tour around Sylhet, I decided to visit Shwapno one more time. I was going to see the Plan B and say good bye. While I was talking to her, I was talking to a couple from Michigan, USA. It was not long when the female security guard looked for plots to end the conversation.

The security guard was present, you know why? The reason is because I avoided Shwapno1 and focussed on the Plan B I was talking to. I said to the security guard is there any issue with me? The female security guard responded the reason I approached you two to speak to her for work reasons. I said good bye to Plan B and I did not get her number. From the girls in Sylhet, I must have developed good communication with four girls. I only got 2 numbers. The focus was to get home on schedule as the sunset approached. Thursday 19th December 2019 I had the Director title in Sylhet at age 32. 

The year 2020 arrived, I was relying on one her colleagues to get her number for me. I recruited him to get her number. Instead I got the chance to talk to Plan B on video call on his phone. Then the pandemic happened and I got the attention of Plan A candidate. Plan A potential bride resulted on me lose focus on Plan B. Time went by my potential was recognised by potential stakeholders. There was one organisation I approached to maximise my potential it turns out the director ghosted me. In September 2021, I realised the funds I transferred to Plan A bride accumulated to £5000 – £5900. Sunday 12th October 2021 I arrived in Sylhet as the broken man. Who was the Plan A candidate? The story will be shared. 

Tuesday 12th November 2019, it was at the final round of my night shift. I entered Police Line exiting District Stadium turning right. My speed was reduced after good run around Central Sylhet. I turned right and seen two girls in the rickshaw. One of them got my attention as I watched them socialise with smiles and laughter. I showed eye contact and I got her attention. The moment I got her attention my running speed maximised racing the riskshaw. As my speed increased their laughter maximised. The end result was I defeated their riskshaw sixty seconds head start approaching end of the road. I  reduced my speed and my route was towards Dorgah Moholla. I turned around and noticed their rickshaw stopped at the end of the road. Her Riskshaw stopped near Farmis Garden Hotel. The first week in Sylhet Plan A contract was cancelled. Making my approach will mean there will be new Plan A candidate. I decided to run back and approach the her.  

Running back towards her direction, I entered the Express Road. I approached the two girls. I started the conversation with where introduced myself and she introduced her self as Plan A. The person with her was her sister Plan A sister. Plan A asked me which part of England 1 am I from? I replied East England 1 to keep my tracks covered. I asked Plan A is she is a student? Plan A replied she was a Political Science student at Madan Mahan College in Sylhet. 

Madan Mahan College, that is where Shwapno retail worker Shwapno1 attends University. Shwapno1 studied Economics at Madan Mahan College. Shwapno1 was the first girl I approached in Shwapno back in March 2019. I asked Plan A if she knows a girl name Shwapno1 who works at Shwapno? She replied No. My interactions with Plan A on the Express Road captured the witnesses attention. Plan A even acted funny telling me to visit her house and meet her family. As I was walking down the road, I realised I was distance away from the main road and I was approaching the silent part of the road. Distance away from the main road I started to have fear and I did not want to show her my fear. I said I have to go back on the main road and continue my road. Can you provide your asked for her number? Plan A replied give me your phone I will enter my number. 

Plan A said me give me your phone I will enter my number. In Bangladesh I have two phones. Android phone stays at home and Sylhet Burner Cell is when I am out the house. My moments silence, she said I am not going to steal your phone. I gave her my phone, she entered her number. Plan A gave back the phone and I saved her number as Plan A. It was the last and only time I seen her. I Insisted on shaking hands, she replied in Bangladesh we say Assalamu Alaikum. When I arrived home, I entered saved her name as Plan A Rikibazaar on my android phone. The number secured, she was the Plan A candidate. Strategy was not to phone her I sent her message on WhatsApp the day after, I messaged her every couple of days and I messaged her before the Emirates flight departured. While I was in Sylhet I regreted not meeting her in person. When I got back to Location 1 I messaged her on regular basis. Time went by she trusted me telling me about her family. March 2020 the pandemic started and the world was in crisis. The messages I sent her were not romantics. The messages I sent were related to the Sylhet Development, Infrastructure and the Pandemic. The night on Wednesday 1st April 2020 at 22:45 GMT she called me on WhatsApp. This one phone call was the game changer to forget about the Plan B and focus on her.

The phone call lasted for more than one hour. Plan A declared I was her choice. She wanted me to be her husband. She asked me if I had any feelings her? I replied yes and I regretted not meeting her while I was in Sylhet because I was afraid she was going to reject me. She said my messages related to Pandemic, Sylhet development was getting her bored. She was attracted to me and I impressed her running on the streets of Sylhet. We talked about life, movies, Madras Cafe Movie, I said she reminded of Nargis Fakhri and I even gave her romantic compliments resulted in her laughter. You know what Plan A use to say? Plan A use to say do not try to Impress. I knew I impressed her with my romantic compliments. My approach to Plan B on my last Shwapno got the female security guard to intervine. I departed from Sylhet with the Director title on Thursday 19th December 2019. Plan A as my partner in crime I was hoping to defend the Director title on my next visit. The call ended. 

I was street smart in Sylhet due to using none andriod phone while I out of the house. None Andriod Phone known as the Sylhet Burner Cell. Plan A was also Street smart aswell. The reason she got off the Rickshaw from Farmis Garden was because she did not trust riskshaw drivers to drop her off outside the house. She would depart from Farmis Garden and walk halfway Express Road to enter her home. My first site of Express Road was nervous. Before I departed from Sylhet my confidence was limitless to enter Express Road to save time on travel to another territory. 

Thursday 26th April 2020, I was determined to start my own company due to the skills I have gained from England 1, England 2 and Sylhet. This was the date the World Remit Transfer started. Funds were transferred monthly like clock work. We felt like corporate partners rather than a couple. It was my Director title I earned in Sylhet gave me confidence to from international partnership. Her Political Background in Bangladesh and my street experience in Sylhet, England 1 and England 2. This was a lethal combination to form a coalition. 

There were developments taken place I was aware of. My Sylhet knowledge started from the Monument and I entered number of territories. The whole of Sylhet 3100 postcode was mine and everything in it. I was determined to start my own established to manage projects at various locations whether it was Sylhet and England 1. When September 2020 approached, the funds transfered were over limits. There was one day I needed to put the stop to the project. There was no transfers made in August 2021. 

The financial transfers to Plan A accumulated to between £5000 – £5900 by August 2021. I had to accept the fact I been outsmarted by the girl from Express Road. I wanted to meet her in person. My corporate project did not get the green light from stakeholders in England 1 resulted me to look for work at the established organisation. What happened when I approached the organisation? The Director of the establishment ghosted me on purpose. Sunday 12th October 2021, the Bangladesh Biman flight departed from Heathrow Airport Terminal Four. The moment I arrived at Sylhet Airport I found out my commitment to community development work had zero value. I was age 34 and witnessed my social status downgraded.

The moment I arrived in Sylhet, I messaged Plan A and told her I am in Sylhet. She replied with couple of message asking when I arrived? I did not inform her I arrived. I called her and she did not answer my calls and avoided meeting me. I found out from sources she was married. I had to accept I was defeated. Plan A resulted me to be classed as a Rickshaw Driver status the moment I arrived at Sylhet Airport. In the Sylhet environment, I climbed the hierarachy moving from Apprentice, Associate and Director in nine months at the age of 32 in December 2019. Monday 13th October 2021, my title Director declined to Riskshaw Driver title the moment the Biman Flight landed at Sylhet Airport. 

The Plan A failed resulted me to go through break down and financial crisis. My eyes were focussed on the Plan B bride. I visited Shwapno and I found out Plan B does not work there anymore. I needed to track Plan B down. November 2021, the supermarket crowded at full capacity. I approached Shwapno1 at the cosmetic department. Without anyone noticing I asked Shwapno1 for location of the Plan B. She replied Pachim. I got rickshaw from Shwapno and I went to the Pachim. I walked up and down Pachim. 

I seen a rickskaw travelling passed. I asked the girls do you know the Plan B by saying her name. One of the girl replied No her face covered. I realised the girl in the rickshaw had the same features as Shwapno1. She gave me her location, then she can hear news I caused a scene at her area. This was Shwapno1 revenge for avoiding her in December 2019. The rickshaw travelled passed. I was defeated and the rickshaw passed with two girls laughing. 

The search was not over. I knew she studied university course at MC College, Tilaghor. I got the CNG to Tilaghor and I walked to MC College. I accessed the entrance and avoided the security guards. I walked around the MC College building. The tour around MC College and departed folllowing the exit sign. I was keeping me low profile as I was leaving the building. There was one student recognised me. The last time he seen me was at Gym back in April 2019. I did not talk for long acted civilised and departed from MC College without security noticing I entered the premises. In terms of the Plan B, I tracked her down in good time. It did not take me long before I made the trip back to the Shwapno location. 

There was one evening, I went back to the Shwapno location. I entered the restaurant on the first floor. The last time I seen her was on Tuesday 17th December 2019. In her eyes back I was the person who created epic storylines during the eight weeks she seen me. In November 2021, she was at a work meeting. I was introduced to her work colleagues. I watched her socialise and I realised she was the one for me. The heartbreak from Plan A made me realise why I did not chose her as Plan A and classed her as Plan B. She communicated with me at minimum level. She did ask me if I seen her older sister and her brother in law in the United Kingdom? I replied No. 

I decided to leave the restaurant. Before I departed from the restaurant I asked for her number. She gave me not one but two numbers. I saved the number on the Sylhet Burner Cell and departed from the restaurant. I messaged the number via WhatsApp on the andriod phone. The  response was I got misscalls. I was classed to a Rickshaw Driver status I decided not to meet her. Friday 10th December 2021, I departed from Bangladesh being classed to the Rickshaw Driver status with broken heart scattered in various directions. The departure resulted me to not attend the 50 years Victory Day anniversary in Sylhet. Hardship Lesson in England 2 in 2010. Hardship Lesson in England 1 in 2017 and it was Hardship Lesson in Sylhet in 2021.

Was this the last time I had conversation with her via phone? The answer was No. September 2022, I got in contact with her via WhatsApp. By the end of 2022, World Remit Transfers accumulated to £390.02 from two transfers. Lessons learned from the Plan A project, do not go over limits when sending funds to the Plan B. From September 2022 to September 2023 I realised she was not after my money. The reason was because the funds transferred to Plan B did not result in four figures. She could be the one for me. The plan to visit Bangladesh was on 15th October 2023. The main plan is to meet her in person while I was in Sylhet for ten week. 

Monday 16th October 2023, I arrived at Sylhet with mum. The direct flight from London Heathrow was on schedule. I got in contact with the Plan B she was interested to meet. Wednesday 18th October 2023, I met her at Restaurant in Monument. I went there ahead of schedule. I done well keeping a low profile before entering the restaurant. It was not long until she made her entrance. Table for 2 at the far end close to the window. The food was ordered. Mine was oven baked pasta and her food order was biryani. The date ended it was time to leave the restaurant.

It was time to leave Monument, I did not want to get the rickshaw. The reason was because I would be seen by the public. I got the CNG vehicle and departed from the Monument area in the humid afternoon. As we sat on the back seat she made the first move. I got the green light  to have my arms around her and I comforted her. She was definitely satisfied with my hospitality. The date with Plan B went well and she was attracted to me for various reasons. She departed from the CNG at the Zindabazaar location and I went home. During the date, I found out the couple who was with her at Monument on Friday 22nd November 2022 were not her brother in law and older sister. It turns out they allowed her to be in their inner circle while they visited Bangladesh. They were classed as Plan B Associate 1 and Plan B Associate 2.

The date with Plan B was good start and I managed to keep a low profile. Keeping row profile helped me keep my tracks covered. I was soon to find out my low profile tactics leaving the restaurant in the CNG where me and Plan B messaged arrived home. It was afternoon time, I was determined to me Plan B for second date. The timeframe was 24 hours after the date my mum asked me which girl was you at the local restaurant? My mum said do you really think people in the area will not recognise you? This is when mum said someone in the local area informed the family. I admitted I was on a date with Plan B I known from 2019. In the current day I was a single 36 years old, there was no potential wife in the United Kingdom. I got the green light to invite Plan B at the family house to meet my family.

I invited Plan B to visit the house to meet my family. The day finally arrived the potential bride visits the family home. It started with her calling me to meet her on the main road. She told me to bring between BDT500 – BDT1000. She will give me the reason when she meets me on the main road. I departed from the house and met her on the main road. Her rickshaw arrived and I gave her the money. She went to Supermarker and bought shopping for my family house. We walked from the main road into the residential road. 

The locals in the main road did not notice me with the girl. Few neighbours realised I was walking with Plan B. I only said hello to the local resident and carried on walking to the house. She entered the house to meet my family. I was in my bedroom watching TV while she socialised with my family. My mum asked Plan B to provide her mother contact number. The family were satisfied with my potential bride. My mum wanted to speak to Plan B mum and invite her family to the house. The time was approaching sunset and it was time for her to leave the house. Plan B said good bye to my family. Plan B departed from the house and I decided to leave the house. My excuse was I am going to my friends grocery shop to socialise. 

The permission to leave the house granted and I leave the house with Plan B. The CNG vehicle leaves the house and the local area residence did not notice. CNG travelled towards Arcadia Shopping Mall. Journey ended close to Police Line near the Farmis Hotel. She departed from the vehicle and I stayed. I informed her of my departure date and we should meet before I leave Bangladesh. While I was at the location I had memories of the Plan A candidate when I approached her in the dark night on Tuesday 12th November 2019.

My mum phoned the number she provided, Plan B answered the phone. I asked my family members to provide me the paper where Plan B written her mum mother. I looked at the number written. The number Plan B provided was not her mum number. The number provided was her second number. I have two phones, Andriod phone stays home and the Sylhet Burner Cell when I am outside. The Plan B has two numbers means one for personal and the second as her burner cell. The only difference was her burner cell was android and my burner cell was non andriod. 

I called her and asked her why did she not provide her mum number. Plan B replied it was cause argument at her house. After that meeting I decided to avoid her.  My family members said there was no chance I will get married Plan B. I agreed to meet her on my final day in Bangladesh. Saturday 23rd December 2023, I decided to meet her at Monument Restaurant. I took my 35 year old cousin brother. He sat in table distance away from me and her. The reason I took him with me was because if I was to leave the house alone they would suspect I went to see Plan B. I met Plan B and we had meal together and we said final farewell. Sunset approached her transport departed while I walked away. All I had to do was prepare to leave Bangladesh. 

Sunday 24th December 2023, I departed from Bangladesh with the Apprentice title after being classed as the Rickshaw Driver title for 801 days. The moment after arriving at England 1 Airport, news spreaded to the England 1 family. They all said red flag when they herd the story. I got advised to forget the Plan B and move on. I was still in contact with her. After the red flags, I got sent the message to forget her. Everyone in my family said reject Plan B. Saturday 9th November 2024 I arrived in Bangladesh with mum. The moment I arrived in Sylhet I had intentions to meet Plan B. The first meeting got cancelled because she had work conference. I avoided Plan B and decided to spend social times with my cousin brothers. 

December 2024 arrived and I met her on two occasions. The first meeting happened around evening time. The meeting was during dark in Sylhet evening after 7pm. We met near Monument area, walked up and down the silent road near Alleyway 1. The silent road I was familiar with when I visited Bangladesh in 2019 on two occasions. We leave the Alleyway and get the CNG from Monument. It was the CNG journey from Monument to Amberkhana Point. October 2023 when I met her I was seen by the public in the afternoon. December 2024, I was not seen by the public and I escaped the location.

The arrival at Amberkhana Point in dark evening. We changed the transport from CNG Vehicle to Rickshaw. The Rickshaw started leave Amberkhana Point. I noticed one local resident Monument1 was crossing the road walking towards Restaurant.  The Monument1 character in 2019 was calling me loudly from the stairs of Monument on Friday 22nd November 2019. December 2024 calender, Monument1 has realised I was on the rickshaw with Plan B at Amberkhana Point. I looked at Monument1 and I put the rickshaw hood down. Rickshaw travelled down the Airport Road and using the access road. The rickshaw arrived at Housing Estate. She departed near Arcadia Shopping Centre. The last thing Plan B said to me was we will spend quality time next time we meet. 

In Bangladesh I had two phones. The android phone I leave at home using WhatsApp getting signal from the house  internet infrastructure. When I leave the house, I have the Sylhet Burner Cell which is not a andriod phone. The purpose of my Sylhet Burner Cell is for family members to track my movements in Sylhet when I am away from the house. Sylhet Burner Cell is used for two reasons. First reason is to make emergency phones. Second reason the Sylhet Burner Cell accept incoming calls when I am away from the house. 

The second meeting finally arrived. I wanted to spend time with Plan B at the secure Monument area or Housing Estate area. I got the phone call to leave the house and meet her at Main Road. It was dark night on Sylhet evening. The android phone left at home and the Sylhet Burner Cell was taken with me as I departed from the house. I met her at Main Road. I was close to home. I was thinking I be meeting her at secure Monument area. I suggested to stay in the local area. Then she had other plans and said we will go Shahjalal University market area. Plan B said we go Shahjalal University because I will explore new location to explore. I went along with her evening plan.  

The next task was to get a rickshaw and we was close my home. People in the location know me. She said walk behind and follow me. We walked down the busy road and turned into a side road in Sylnet Road. The Electric rickshaw arrived. She said to the driver we want to go Shahjalal University area. As the electric rickshaw departed, there was three people standing on Sylnet Road. The three people know me and my family. From the three people, Sylnet1 recognised me. I put the rickshaw hood down to keep a low profile as me and Plan B escaped in the electric rickshaw. I knew the Sylnet Road back roads because that was my route to enter the new territory. Plan B did not know I was familiar with the background.

The rickshaw travelled the back roads entering Housing Estate. The areas were all familiar. It all changed, the electric rickshaw travelled the diverted route from Housing Estate. Plan B directed the driver to travel back routes I was able to sense danger. I realised Plan B was using facebook. In our previous meetings Plan B denied she had facebook.  The journey via secretive roads, she said if her brother sees her it will cause problems. I was not scared of her brother. 

The back roads of Sylhet left me clueless. It was not long when she pointed out the newly developed Mount Adora Hospital. I was aware the rickshaw had passed Modina Market. The roads was like a countryside. There was a secret I hidden from her. The secret was I became familiar with Modina Market and the Shahjalal University area when I visited Bangladesh in 2019 during day light hours while she was doing stock control at Shwapno. 

During the journey Plan B said relax I am with you. We will spend quality time together. There are nice restaurant and we have privacy. She was flirting with me while I sensed dangers as the electric rickshaw took the silent roads of Sylhet to avoid being seen by the public at the dark night. The Plan B who was concerned with security normally be scared to travel via alleyways and silent roads in the dark. The man are usually the one who provides security at dangerous situations. Plan B telling me to relax showed she had associates waiting to make moves against me. The foreigner like me should be at secure areas. I seen myself taken away from the secure zones and lured into deserted areas. 

The electric rickshaw arrived at Shahjalal University market area. It was passed 8pm. Plan B wanted to spend time until late for 2 hours. I looked at the area. The area was less crowded compared to Central Sylhet. Empty land surrounding the prestige university land and there were restaurants near by. I gave her around BDT400 while seated on a electric rickshaw when the rickshaw was half way to Shahjalal University. I realised this could be a honeytrap situation.

The moment arrived, we both get off the rickshaw. I paid the BDT100 bill for the journey fare. Plan B asked for the rickshaw driver name. I stood at the Shahjalal University market place location. She was hoping to spend quality time with me. I had suspicions this was a honeytrap. I would have been the gentleman and spend the romantic evening with her. I had insticts I was to be the victim of a honeytrap. My history with the women from Sylhet Plan A four figures Pound Sterling withdrawn from me in 2021. In November 2024, there was the attempt for me to fall into her trap.

There needed to be the exit strategy. In England 1, I am secure with the support network of family and friends. In Sylhet, I have to think fast. I had sixty seconds to think fast. The exit strategy was completed and all I had to do was execute the strategy. I gave her BDT500 taka and told her I am leaving. I said to the electric rickshaw driver wait for me I will be leaving the area. I got back on the electric rickshaw, used that same rickshaw driver to escape. Strategy executed resulted in Plan B to be left alone in the deserted land and I made my exit. The exit strategy executed. 

The electric rickshaw journey for one person travelling the safe and secure area. I cleared Shahjalal University market area zone. All the electric rickshaw needs to do was clear the Modina Market area to clear the danger zone. She was able to sense I had the rickshaw journey that cost BDT100. This rickshaw was Electric not manual. Electric rickshaw are faster than manual rickshaw. The fact she was taking back roads and alleys to clear there were chances this electric rickshaw was going to break down. I might have escaped Shahjalal University I was still on the deserted land.

The silent night while the electric rickshaw travelled. I reflected on my family gave me the message Plan B was red flag. Based on what I witnessed from Plan B, I knew something was not right. While I was reflecting the electic rickshaw broke down. I knew there was no chance I would get home as the time was approaching 9pm in Sylhet evening. I had to think of Plan B immediately. I realised there was market stalls in the area where my electric rickshaw broke down. What Plan B did not know was I had around BDT200 in my left pocket. This was emergency money. As the broken down electric rickshaw approached the market stall, I seen a line of CNG drivers. I deserted the broken down electric rickshaw and paid him the money which was in my right pocket. The emergency money was transferred from my left pocket to my right pocket. There was no time to debate with the rickshaw driver about his broke down electric rickshaw.  

I stepped off the electric rickshaw and seen line of CNG vehicles outside the tea stalls. I called over one of the CNG driver and got into the vehicle to escape the danger zone. My objective was to get home as soon as possible before my Sylhet burner cell started ringing asking me where are you? I got the CNG and told the CNG driver I am going to Electric Supply Road. The electric rickshaw driver left stranded and I got the CNG. This transport was much faster comparison to the rickshaw. It was official I escaped the danger zone and there was no chance I be meeting Plan B again. Her words during the rickshaw journey thinking she could convince me to spend time with her. My message to her was do not make me laugh. It was official Plan B was rejected after knowing her for five years. 

The CNG vehicle was on the move and the driver drove the straight road from the market stall between Shahjalal University and Modina Market. This was the secure route. I trusted the CNG driver and I was familiar with the straight route rather than the secretive back routes she took me on in the rickshaw. I had full trust in the CNG location knowledge. I was travelling home safely and alone without the girl dictating orders at me. The vehicle travelled past Modina Market, Subid Bazaar, Arcadia Shopping Mall, and Amberkhana Point. Soon as the CNG arrived at my destination, I paid the transport fare. The CNG driver asked are you from England 1? I replied yes I am from England 1. I was surprised the CNG driver realised I was from England 1. It was time to say farewell to the CNG driver. 

I speed walked home, noticing I have escaped the honeytrap. When I arrived home, I realised there was no phone calls on my Sylhet Burner Cell. All was good and I remained calm. While I was home, I decided to get money and go to the local shop. The money I took out the house, majority of the funds were invested on her. I was calm and relaxed. I watched my family in the house. No one suspected I was in a rickshaw journey at Shahjalal University market area. The red flags from the England  1 family were accurate. England 1 family read the situation like a book, my mum gave me the message not the contact the girl after she did not provide her mum contact number. Imagine if I did fall for her trap at Shahjalal University. The outcome would have been a disaster. I was grateful I abandoned her and escaped. The money at my left pocket saved the evening to return home before 9pm. I was safe and it was time to go to the local shop.

I leave the house in a secure area. The fact I escaped the honeytrap in Sylhet. That was the story of the year. There was no chance I was going to see that girl again. There was no stress because no harm done. I walked into the shop, there was two people. The shop keeper and Sylnet1. Sylnet1 seen me on Sylnet Road when I was travelling in the rickshaw with the girl. I seen him I was laughing. I said to him I had a good journey giving him the hint he seen me with a girl. The shopkeeper asked me where did you go? I laughed and Sylnet 1 said he went sightseeing referring to me. Before I departed from the shop, Sylnet1 was laughing.

I returned home safely and the joke was over with the local shop. This made me think who was the couple that was with her on Friday 22nd November 2019. Wednesday 18th October 2023, she confirmed the couple with her was not her real older sister and he was not her real brother in law. If the couple with her were not related to her there were questions. The couple with her were her associates. That night at Monument, I remembered after I said good bye. The person claiming to her older sister locked eyes with me before I made my exit from the secure monument. This must been a message one day my independent travel would send me into a trap at Shahjalal University location which I successfully escaped. 

Did I see her in public place? The answer is yes. This happened while I was on the evening walk on Hazrat Shahjalal Road. While I was walking the secure area zones of Central Sylhet, her rickshaw was present. I was walking towards Amberkhana, while her rickshaw was travelling towards Zindabazaar. She realised I walking and stopped her rickshaw to say hello. I asked her where was she going? She replied Shibgonj to visit her friend. As her rickshaw travelled passed she smiled and I smiled back. 

The Dark evening in Sylhet she was travelling to Shibgonj after 6pm. From Zindabazaar it takes around 30 minutes to get to Shibgonj via Rickshaw. She would spend around 2 – 3 hours socialising with her friends and then travel back to to Subid Bazaar sides between 9pm to 10pm. Remember I left her completely alone in the Shahjalal University after 8pm. I made my exit resulted me to arrive home just before 9pm. What time did she arrive home on that night? Who did she meet on that night after I left her all alone? Why did she not reactly angrily? When Sylhet women are deserted in Shahjalal University market area. They would normally curse the man. Her reaction was a smile. 

Our final public meeting at Central Sylhet after I deserted her at Shahjalal University Market Area. Plan B towards me showed me one day she will set a trap for me. My smile to Plan B was I know her game plan. I knew that night at Shahjalal University market area was a honeytrap. My smile to Plan B signified this is the last time she will see me. I continued the walk towards Amberkhana.
