You refer to her as Bristy. What name does she generally go by? Nahida or Bristy? I just want to respect who she is.
She goes by Bristy to family and friends.

In our culture, names don’t always follow the first name/last name structure. The last part isn’t necessarily a family name. More often than not, it’s the name the person actually goes by.

Edited to add: Bristy in Bangla means Rain.

Thank you. That's really helpful.
I will be thinking about Bristy and hope that she is found safe!

ETA: so what name would Zamil Limon have gone by? Limon? Did you know him? (I absolutely hate using past tense for him. He seems like a bright light taken from us much too soon.)

Wow, so much to catch up on!

So sad to hear about the developments, but glad that the alleged perp is in custody.

I see a couple of options here:

1- HA had an altercation with ZL, and during that altercation (which ended up resulting in his death) ZL managed to call/text NB to come and help. She unfortunately showed up and was confronted by HA.

2- HA killed ZL and then lured NB in with an excuse. This scenario is particularly ominous to me, because NB was not part of the situation, she wasn't involved, could have gone about her day and wouldn't have been the wiser, but he decided to drag her into it on purpose.

I'm hoping I'm wrong and NB is safe somewhere, but I'm not positive.
:(

I did not know Zamil personally. I’m friends with a couple of his friends and they refer to him as Zamil.

I know it might seem like it contradicts what I said about name structure, but there really isn’t a single rule. It mostly comes down to each person’s preference.

আজ থেকে ১৫ বছর আগে আমিও বৃষ্টির মত মাস্টার্সে এডমিশন নিয়ে এসেছিলাম। নিউজ টা দেখে আজ সারাদিন কোন কাজ করতে পারিনি। এভাবে এত অল্প বয়সে একটি তরুণ প্রাণ ঝরে যাবে এটা অমানবিক।
সবাই একটু সাবধানে থাকবেন। আমেরিকা অনেক উন্নত দেশ, কিন্তু বিপদ কপালে থাকলে লোহার দেয়াল ভেদ করে চলে আসবে।
Sorry for the foreign language yall, some emotions cannot be expressed in English.
