Sardi ki subha thi aur woh itna kuch pehen ne ke aad bhi thand se kaamp rahi thi. Road pe pari baraf dekh ke woh ek lamhe ko apni raftaar kam karti hui kuch soch ke muskura di.

Ek mahina ho chuka tha use wahan aaye aur wohi jaanti thi ke woh usse kitna miss kar rahi thi. Shadi ke baad 6 mahine tak woh Pakistan me rahi thi Kabir aur phupho ke saath aur apni job offer ko mana kar chuki thi magar us company ne usse wajah jaan ne ke baad intezar karne pe israar kiya aur uske na kehne ke bawajood Kabir ne use manaa hi liya tha.

Aur kafi had tak sach bhi yehi tha ke jis degree ke liye usni itni mehnat ki thi us career me woh kisi had tak experience bhi rakhna chahti thi. Ab ek mahina Amsterdam me wapis aaye use hua tha aur uski wapis aane pe jita uske chachu chachi khush the aur koi ho hi nahi sakta tha.

Lekin woh to apna dil wahin Islamabad ke us ghar me chor aayi thi jahan woh tha.

Aage chalti hui woh pichle ek mahine ki routine join karti hui usi choti si aasmaani rant ki chat aur safaid deewaro wali bakery me dakhil hui jo ke chota sa cafe bhi tha saath me. magar andar sirf kuch kursiyan thi jo chand customers se ziyada ek waqt me na bitha sakti.

Miraal chalti hui andar gayi aur wool ke mote scarf ko apne gale se utara aur samne pari pastries aur cakes ko dekhne lagi tabhi andar se ek larki aayi.

"Good morning Miraal"

Woh naram si muskurahat le ke boli to Miraal ke chehre pe bari si muskurahat aayi.

"Good morning Eyila! Aaj ka special kya he?"

Woh dekhte hui boli to Woh larki jo baalo peeche poni me baande apron pehne hue aage ho ke pastries dekhti boli.

"Chocolate croissant ?"

use chocolate ka sunke Kabir yaad aaya aur woh muskura di.

"Miraal? chocolate croissant nahi to aur kuch dekh lo"

"Nahi actually chocolate ka sunke apne husband ki yaad aa gayi"

Eyila ke chehre pe dheemi muskurahat aayi aur woh use pack karne lagi. Aur roz ki tarah saath me uski coffee bhi daalne lagi.

"Miss karti ho gi apne husband ko haina?"

Us naram mizaaj wali larki ne usse pucha jiska lehja to naram tha magar awaaz me kahin thakawat si thi aur gour se dekha jaata to nazar aata ke woh umar me Miraal se kafi bari thi.

"Woh to karti hun...itni door rahe hain hum lekin shayad doori ki aadat kaabhi nahi hoti"

Eyila ne coffee aur croissant uske samne rakha.

"yeh to sach hai aadat tanhai ki kabhi nahi hoti."

Miraal ne apni coffee aur woh brown pack pakra aur phir use dekhti hui boli.

"Ek mahina ho gaya he mujhe aate hue aur humari choti choti choti conversations ko aapne apne bare me nahi bataya kabhi?"

Miraal ne pucha to woh larki usse paise le ke unhe rakhti hui boli.

"Mere bare me khaas kuch hai hi nahi batane ko kya bataun bas yeh bakery hai aur 2 bachey"

Miraal uske bacho ka sunke muskura di.
