Kanta is very protective about her books. If her books are little chicken, then she is an angry mother hen. She is ready to beat every possible person, who even looks at her books or thinks to borrow in their mind.

Last time when she let people borrow her books, they might have thought those are useless or something. And, they have treated her books so inhumanely that she could even hear her book's scream. After all, she is a mother. (Only when books are children)

She has wrapped her favourite books with three layer of polythene so that people cannot just pick and treat them badly, in the name of 'having a look.' And, when someone asks for books she replies, "I do not believe people with books."

Though she is not judgy, she judges only those who fold pages saying --- it is a mark! Kanta feels like yelling and wants to say, "There is a thing called bookmark. Buy it."

When her cousin Kabir tears apart one of her book's binding, she slaps him right on his face and said, "I am Kanta Khan, disowning my cousin Kabir Hossen, with my full consciousness." Although Kabir is not a bit bothered about this. 

This is Kanta. She can go limitless, especially when it is about her books. Later this incident, she has anonymously called one of his crushes and said he is an abuser. Come on! He has abused books. So, it is technically right.

Once her two years' niece has drawn something 'aesthetical' on her favourite book Harry Potter. Kanta has to think two days straight what she can do about it and which revenge can suffice her rage. 

Then she understands the fact that it is not her fault. Actually, her parents have never taught her to take care of books.

So, her parents should receive this 'reward' instead of her. She also draws something 'aesthetical' on his father's, Kanta's brother-in-law, note book saying her niece has done that. That day Kanta feels the nefarious pleasure.

If you are reading this piece and somehow you know Kanta, never ask for her books or dare to touch her books. Be aware!
