Nineteen-year-old Husna Ahmed arrived in New Zealandfrom Bangladesh on her wedding day.Her future husband, Farid, was waiting to meet her.They married a few hours after that,as their families had agreed.Twenty-five years later,the life they had built together was torn apartat the Al Noor mosque in Christchurch.A gunman walked into the buildingand fired on worshippers last Friday as they were praying.Husna came across the gunmanas he was coming out of the mosque.The gunman shot her on the footpath.After she fell, he fired two more shots and killed her.Farid was talking to a friendand was delayed in joining worshippersat his usual place at the front of the mosque.Instead, he prayed in a small side room.Farid was able to escape when he heard the shooting begin.When the gunman left,he returned to find many of his friendsand community members dead.He provided comfort to those who were dying.He found out about his wife's death when a police official he knewcalled another family member as they waited outside the mosque.A total of 50 people were killed in the attackat Al Noor and another mosque in Christchurch.Most victims were migrants or refugeesfrom countries including Pakistan,India, Malaysia, Syria, Turkey, Somalia and Afghanistan.Shafiqur Rahman Bhuiyan is a Bangladeshi diplomat in New Zealand.He told the Reuters news servicethat Husna was one of five members of a growingbut closely connected Bangladeshi community killed.He added that four others were wounded.Members of the Bangladesh cricket team,which was in town for a test match against New Zealand,narrowly avoided harm.They arrived at the Al Noor mosquejust after the shooting took place.Witnesses of the attack told Farid that Husna, instead of hiding,helped other women and children inside the mosque.She also ran to the front of the building to look for Farid.Farid said, "She's such a person who always put other people firstand she was even not afraid to give her life saving other people."People in Christchurch and all over New Zealandare deeply saddened by the attack.Farid said he has forgiven his wife's killer.He said, "I want to give the message to the person who did this,or if he has any friends who also think like this:I still love you. I want to hug you and I want to tell him...that I am talking from my heart.I never hated you, I will never hate you."A few hours after the violence,the front room of Farid's home near Christchurchwas filled with survivors and friends.Many described Husna as being like a mother to them.At the time of Husna's arrival in New Zealand,there were almost no other Bangladeshisin the small city of Nelson, where the couple first lived.But Husna made English-speaking friends,and was able to learn the language in six months.Farid said she spoke Englishwith more of a New Zealand accent than he did.Farid's coworkers at a meat-packing plant agreed to work30 minutes longer on Fridays so he could take time to pray.To thank them, Husna cooked a large meal every week.Four years into their marriage, Farid was partly paralyzedafter being run over by a car outside his house.After that, the couple moved to Christchurchand Husna became his nurse."Our hobby was we used to talk to each other.A lot. And we never felt bored," he said.
