The room is adorned with a warm saffron-hued (Gamboge her fav color) blanket, curtains, and bed, creating a cozy atmosphere. And a girl was sleeping peacefully in pitch darkness though it was evening but she likes to keep her room away from rays of sunlight, she hates light. The whole room was a web of fairy lights, it won't be wrong to say that she is obsessed with them. Her mother came and said
Ayera wake up and come downstairs fast!
Ayera was in deep sleep but that was something within her that when her mom called her whether she was sleeping like a dead body,she would wake up instantly.
Otherwise dhool baja lo she won't move an inch.
Ayera: Yes moma lemme just freshen up, i'll be there in a while.In a posh lounge a lady in her late forties was sitting, she was non other than the widow of Shahid Khan. She was married in a very respectable and wealthy family, her life was good, living with her in laws who were extremely polite other than few. But then her husband decided to leave family business and family hawaily, because he always wanted to become a CSP officer and right after he passed the test, he decided to live the life of his dreams. At that time mayera was 8 years old and ayera was 5 years old. The family was angry and upset on his decision, they almost broke all their ties with Shahid Khan and his family but after his demise they mended their relations with his wife.
Mayera entered the lounge and sat with her mother. She said her salam and put her hand in her head. Ayesha: Kia hua beta you good?
Mayera: Yes moma its just really hot, i can't.
Ayesha just grabbed the Ac remote and turned it on.
Meanwhile Ayera and miraal also entered. They sat on the sofa beside ayesha and mayera.
Ayesha: Kids i want to talk about something very important.
Her way of talking made the kids realise that something dangerous is about to happen.
Ayesha: Bacho after your father i did everything possible to give you all the happiness of the world. I always..
Ayera just said in between: Amma hamain pata hai you don't need to hesitate. Ap tamheed na bandhain batayein hua kia hai.
Ayesha: Bata rae hun just listen. I have decided to move back to Lahore, to your dada dadi and your family.
Ayera was traumatised in that thirty seconds. Her mind was not working, she was just thinking that they are not enough, she is not enough. She is not worth anything even after doing everything in her power. Her mother never wanted to leave this house but now she can't trust her anymore thats why she wants to move back,hell does she not trust mayera as well. What they did wrong that their mother even had the thought to get support from someone else other than her daughters.She knew her mom is stubborn if she once make up her mind its very difficult to change her decision.
Ayera: I want you tell me ke hua kia hai ke ap aise achanak ye soch raein hain? Like what happened!?
Ayesha: Achanak nae i have been thinking this since a while. Kids you are always into something or other and you don't notice the surroundings but i do.
Miraal: What to you mean moma?
Ayesha:The man who bought the house beside is alcohol addict, he's not a cultural man. He brings bottles full of haram in it along with men just like him. I also heard that the security now is not like it used to be . There is no check and balance despite multiple complains to the society staff. Our guard Irshaad chacha is also leaving, his wife is not well. I could only trust him.
Ayera: okay okay i get your concerns. I will look for another guard. And about that drunkard, i will make sure that he leaves. And about...
Ayesha interrupted and said: kitna karogi aur kab tak karogi? With tears in her eyes!
Ayesha realized after her husband's demise that not only her kids lost their father but their mother was also gone. Ayera and mayera became Ayesha's parents naturally. Mayera was fifteen back then but she took charge of the entire house. She used to look after cooks, electricity bills, grocery, pension and even bank details. Ayesha was not in her senses for a long but mayera did everything. And Ayera became miraal's center of being. She was twelve but was actually raising eight year kid. When she turned sixteen she began helping mayera. They had a driver but still ayera learnt driving so that their mother never have to wait for a split second outside the car waiting for the driver in any particular situation. Then she also started looking after electricity bills, bank work, pensions. Their father was one wealthy man, he left a posh house where they lived ,bank balance, farms so his family never has to live in poverty.They both did everything in their power to provide luxury to their mom and baby sis even if that meant ayera driving to buy a single grocery item their mother needs in between her cooking, or understanding farm profit and loss. Its not that Ayesha was an irresponsible mother. She had loving parents then she married the man of his dreams. She was raised with love till her forty years of life, she didn't know life. But then suddenly her husband died, she couldn't understand for so long that what even happened. She would never say no to her kids, even if that would mean mayera wanting a new car or ayera secretly looking at the form of doing CIES from europe. Ayera did her pre o-level from foreign school. She fulfilled their wishes, killing hers.Ayera was lazy, she hated house chores. Because they have house help but the whole world knows that if one day her mother has to do any of it then ayera can even become a house cleaner and a cook.
Ayera: Hum nae karaingay tou aur kon karayga?
Ayesha : Pls i did everything according to you guys this time listen to me.
Ayera: I can't understand, when i am ready to solve the problem then why are you adamant. I can't stand illogic. Sorry i can't.Mayera knew all this. Her mother considers her opinion very high, she told her and maturely made her understand that their life belongs there. Their dada dadi want them back. All three of her daughters will have a brighter future over there. And mayera wanted to tell ayera but she had exams and ayera's weird sleeping schedule didn't help.
Ayera was sitting on her jhula thinking how life keeps playing with her all the time and Mayera entered.
Mayera: Tujhe konsa gham hai jo ja nae jaraha!?
Ayera: Bakwas karni hai tou get lost. Mera meter short hai aj.
Mayera: Bat sun meri tu.
Ayera: Tujhe sab pata tha sharam kar you didn't tell me khair i am making myself very clear i will live here mai kisi ke rehmoun karam pr nae rahoungi.
Mayera: Amma was crying the entire night. Have you seen her hair they have turned so white. She has aged twenty years in the last eight years. She keeps thinking the entire day ke meri beetian lagi rehti hain sara din.
Ayera: Then she needs to understand that ye hamara farz hai when we don't complain then why does she.There was thing about Ayera she gets a bit too real and at times it sound heart wrenching!!
Mayera: Unhone hamaray liye ye nae socha tha.
Ayera : Humne bhi apne liye ye nae socha tha. She said with a painful smile.
Mayera: Just think after all three of us get married then what will moma do!?Atleast there she will have a family..
Ayera interrupted wait a sec i thought that i made myself very clear that i'll never leave moma or any of us would. We'll do anything to live together. Whats this crap now?
Maeyra slap herself mentally, she was here to convince her but she made a complete illogical statement. They discussed so many times of keeping their mom with them throughout their lives.
Mayera tried to change the direction of their conversation she said: Jo bhi kia uski wajah se unka dard kam nae hua. Hum nae kar paye kuch she still cries now not for abu but for us.
Ayera got angry. She said: Speak for yourself, we both know we did every possible thing for her betterment. Don't disrespect my emotions and efforts like this and also not yours.
Mayera: i am sorry yk i didn't mean it. We did everything for her till now. Lets just do this one also for her.
That was it, then and there ayera was convinced. Her heart can't see her mother in pain or agony. She thinks with her heart when it comes to her mother and siblings.I hope it was worth reading.
