Roshni shaik, the elder daughter of the shaik family; is the apple of her father's eye.
She looks very arrogant, but looks can be deceiving. In reality she is sweet, extremely talkative and quite lazy. This side of her is shown only to her family an...
The blaring sounds of azaan woke me up from my deep slumber. I look at my baby who like always, was sleeping on my chest.probably, the trait that she's gotten from her abba. Eeshu mostly resembles me and some of her facial features matches with that person. But her actions and her behaviour are another story. She is a very bubbly girl and definitely not a crybaby. She always laugh at the silly things we do. But stubborn just like him, if they set their mind on something they definitely achieves it. 'enough with your thoughts roshni' i thought to myself and got up but not before placing Eshrat in her crib. I did my routine and wuzu(ablution) to perform my fazr namaz; after my prayer i made dua for the wellbeing of everyone and read QUR'AN for a while, before heading out of the room to greet every one.Abbu was being ready for the office while it was the same with my sister as she is also going to college. I entered the kitchen where ammi was making breakfast and lunch for everyone. "Roshni aren't you going to school? " "Nahi ammi, i took a leave today. Aaj meri friend tabassum ka engagement hai" "Ya allah i forgot about that when is the engagement" asked ammi. "In the Evening" i replied to her. Ammi was packing the lunch boxes when I said what was in my mind for a while. "Ammi...I was thinking of resigning this school as the work burden is more and also the timings are longer which doesn't give me enough time with eeshu." "Then take a break beta. Spend some quality time with your family and eeshu. When you feel like it's time you can start again."ammi said patting my hand. "Yeah,I was thinking the same."
------------------------------------------------- Abbu and ruh left the house for their respective works. Mom was taking rest in her room. Eeshu just woke up and as always fussing about eating her baby food. My baby just likes to drink milk no solid food goes into her stomach unless she likes it. I was breastfeeding Eeshu when ammi knocked at our door. "Yeh kya roshni ab tak tayyar nahi hui ho?" Questioned ammi. "Ammi Eeshu is ready. I already fed her milk.can you please make her sleep, so that I can get ready?" I said handing Eeshu to ammi. "Eeshu, my babyy.. looking so beautiful, Masha'Allah. let's get you to sleep huh?"cooed ammi. Eshrat's outfit:-

After I got ready me, Eeshu along with ammi went to the function hall.i was quite nervous as It's my first time going out to a function after my idda'th completed. We arrived there before the ceremony started i caught up with all my friends and we began to chit-chat. 'Thank Allah' no one brought out about my divorce. They all knew about my ugly past and they were careful enough not to bring my past or ex in our talks. When they announced the ceremony to be begun.We all diverted our attention towards the neatly decorated stage with both the bridegroom and their families waiting with rings. After the ceremony completed we all friends gathered around the stage and congratulated our friend and her fiance. My friend tabassum was a blushing mess as we all teased her.later we all posed for a photo presenting our gifts to them. All the while Eshrat was all smiles and laughing, my friends were looking at her in awe. Eeshu was all fascinated with the numerous amount of people, lights, and decoration. All were giving her special attention which was making my baby all shy and smiles. As it was Eeshu's feeding time, i called my ammi who was busy talking to some woman.ammi asked me to come there as she has bag containing Eeshu's milk formula, bottle etc... I sauntered my way there with Eeshu. There were two ladies with kids. one is of my ammi's age and other one in her late twenties. The children were one beautiful girl and two cute little boys. As I neared them i greeted them . "assalamualaikum" "Valaikum assalam" they all greeted me back. "Roshni do you remember us?"questioned the lady. Now if I look clearly I recognised them."Safiya aunty and Amina api aap". "See Sajida I told you she will recognise me in an instant" aunty told my ammi.safiya aunty is ammi's and badi ammi's friend. They were quite close to us.and Amina api was our distant relative and also daughter in law of safiya aunty.but our connection was lost when they moved to another area after aleem Bhai and Amina api's marriage. "hum dulhe walo ke taraf se hai" replied api."kitne saal ke baad dikh rahi ho, jaise shadi ke baad bhul hi gayi hume".replied safiya aunty sadly. "Tum batao kysi ho? Ye bacchi tho badi cute he Masha'Allah". "Safiya ye meri hi nathi he, roshni ki beti"ammi replied proudly. "Bahut khubsoorat hai,naam kya hai bacchi ka "asked api. "Eshrat" "Ooo Eshrat mere pas aoge see I will give you a chocolate"cooed api. Eshrat was very happy to be taken away from me. Seriously, my kid can do anything for chocolates. "Roshni jamai ji Nazar nahi aa rahe hai?" Asked safiya aunty. At the mere mention of that person brought so many unwanted memories."safiya darasal roshni ka talaq ho chuka hai" conveyed ammi. Api was saying something, But my mind was elsewhere. her soft hug brought me out of my trance. "Inna lillah hi wa inna ilaihi rajiwun Allah apko sabr de beta" blessed aunty. "Ameen"i quietly muttered.seeing the gloomy faces of them especially ammi's made my heart pain.so,i discretely changed the subject."so, api ye bacche?"i asked Amina api.At the mention of kids all the attention diverted to them where they were playing even Eshrat was with them. " Mere badi pothi hai afiah bad me Ariz ye aleem ke bache hai. sab se chota Zain vo Aman ka beta hai"replied aunty proudly. "Masha'Allah bohut khubsoorat bacche hai". replied ammi.indeed the kids are very beautiful. But one particular young one 'Zain' was capturing all my attention.he was so cute with his chubby dimpled cheeks talking gibberish with Eeshu. My attention diverted to the adults when they were discussing how zain's mom left him and his dad, when he was 3 months old due to this they couldn't attend my marriage at that time. And i was shocked to think that this beautiful child who was very happily playing with the other kids has no mother. "Tab se aaj tak sirf aman hi uski dekhbal kartha hai, humne use phir se shadi karne ki bohot koshish ki hai vo Manta hi nahi atleast vo bacche ke bare mein tho soche" they are in the midst of a conversation when we heard a cry.
