"I'm looking for the title of the book by humayun ahmed that is a compilation of short stories and one of those short stories goes like this: it starts with the story of a guy selling a picture of his wife to a random foreign woman. Then the woman invites him to her house for some tea and food. Then he talks about the past. He used to be very homesick when he was young. When he would get on the train to leave for college I think, he would cry and think, 'Why such trouble? I don't want to leave home. This isn't worth it'- or something similar. Then he grew up and married a beautiful girl. But the girl never really loved him. Rather, one day she wanted to invite one of her past teachers to their house. Through the interaction of the girl and her teacher, the husband realises that she loves her teacher and has always loved him. Seeing this, the man falls sick and day by day, his sickness grows but the girl doesn't pay heed to him. Rather, she is always busy with her teacher. The teacher is kind to the man and suggests him to go on a vacation with his wife. The man gets annoyed and just asks him to leave. Then eventually the time for the teacher to leave comes and the girl bids him farewell with tears in her eyes. Eventually, the husband and wife split up. The man goes abroad and moves from country to country. He earns livelihood by drawing and selling his paintings. He is still reminded of his wife sometimes. It is a beautiful nostalgic story. Kindly let me know the title of this story and the title of the book this story is in."
