The afternoon summer sun was glimmering on the ivory haveli that stood proudly in the middle of a large estate. On the right of the three-story house was a cluster of trees while on the left was a small cottage. A long straight driveway ended at the foot of the house and here started the architecturally exquisite palace like building. The ivory beauty had been standing proudly at the outskirts of Alamnagar for more than twenty years. And it still remained the symbol of perfection to the residents of Alamnagar.
The swift breeze found itself halting at one of the windows on the ground floor as it heard the soft clatter of plates and cups. It peeked inside only to find the young ladies of The Shah Gharana preparing the usual snacks.
"Saman can you get the cookies out?" A voice called making Saman look around and nod. It was another quite chaotic afternoon. Saman, Mansha, Sara and Mahi were busy preparing tea and snacks for everyone as it was a daily habit of the people of Shah Gharana.
"Bhabi...is everything ready?" Saman asked, plating the warm cookies. [Sister-in-law]
"Almost. Sara go call Ahad." Mahi spoke, making Sara move out of the kitchen. Carefully lining the delicacies and teas on some trays they took them out in the living room where elder ladies. They entered the room along with Ahad.
"What's up ladies?" He asked nearing them only to stop by the tray of tea that was pushed towards him.
"Devar ji, take this to the front room." Mahi spoke, grinning. Ahad groaned, he didn't like being around the rest of the men of the house as the only thing they discussed was politics. And he hated politics. But as he had no other option, he silently followed his sister-in-law's order.[Brother-in-law]
"I can never understand him and his antics." Munazza spoke, shaking her head, but the hint of adoration in her voice for her youngest son wasn't missed by anyone.
"Ammi... I think none of us can understand him." Mahi said, making the rest of the ladies chuckle.[Mom]
"Girls, Ramadan is going to start soon, and I want all of your Eid's preparation done before the fasting starts." Turning towards the young girls, Munazza begum spoke.
"Hmm, I agree bhabi. It'll be better that way." Nausheen begum said.
"But Tayi Ammi Ramadan is still a month away." Saman spoke.
"As if it will not take you girls less than a month to complete your shopping." Rameesha Begum said, chuckling lightly.
