"Assalamualaikum Dadi jan (grandma)"  I said my salam after she picked up. "walaikumassalm beta how are you?" and our chat started. We went on, hours about my college and the weather and the upcoming wedding and what we had for dinner last night. I am very much close to my grand parents, being the eldest child of the house i have my benefits....you know... getting to do what you want since you have the back of your ever so lovely grandparent and you're always right :P

The reason for my call was simple. I needed judiciary in this matter. protection from the court and thats exactly what ill get. After hours of discussions i asked her the very important question in my mind. " Dadi jan can i ask you a favour??"

"sure honey what is it?"

"well you know how badly i have wanted what i am trying to ask here"

"how badly?"

"very badly Dadi jan"

"well then tell me "

"You see i really want you to persuade my parents to bring my room back to normal and by normal I mean yellow "

"Haiin?? beta i thought your room was already yellow wasn't it?"

"Yes it was but... then one day the bulb fused and i ended up with a white one". i said with sadness inmy tone.

I knew this was ultimate stupidity calling Dadi for such a trivial matter, but what can I say I had to do it. it just had to be done.

"Sure ill talk to your dad no problem"

"Yaaaaaay, you're the best Dadi jaan." I exclaimed with happiness. "I ll be coming over soon to eat the lovely gur walay parathas" oh how simply I loooooove her parathas they are heart melting and to die for.

"Haha! ok! you take care hunny I need to go now your phupo (aunt) is here for the bazaar (shopping)".

"Allah hafiz."

So! got that solved Alhamdulillah! i so hope my room comes back to me now.

The Next Day

"Hey Maria come here." My father called me.

"Coming". okay i was a tad bit scared what would be my dads reaction will he be angry with me, for being a shikaiti tatto (one who loves reporting about others mistakes) i dont know lets find out!

"Jee abu" i said as i reached his room.

"Maria beta youre grandma told me you want yellow lights in your room??"

"Well yes I sort of do Abu I hate my room like this totally divided in terms of lighting"

"Why didnt you say so then?" whattt??? honestly did no one notice that i was on a hunger strike and I never went to my room unless necessary? Are people of this house this ignorant?

"I dont know I...well....I did mention it but....Im sorry" really Maria thats how you complain about youre problem by admitting that its youre mistake? really brave of you girl.

"Well dont worry i told your mom to bring some more phillips energy savers and we will change it soon."

"yaaay thanks alot" I said and turned around, my face filled with joy my happiness returning to me. I could feel alive again and the world seemed a Happy place!

Four Hours Later..

My mom camer back from doing the grocery and that was a stimulus to which i responded. it made the muscles of my mouth travel upwards ,therefore causing me to smile. GODD this psychology is getting to me. Any ways, without any moments delay i ran and brought the ladder to my room assisted my mom in sorting out the grocery and speedily took the horrible white thing off and got on ladder my self to insert the new beauty into the socket.
