Asjad opened the door and entered his mother's room.
̳Ami, I need to discuss something important with you.'
̳Yes...what is it?'
Asjad sat down on the sofa. ̳Have you been to Hashim Uncle's lately?'
̳No...is there anything special?'
̳Imama is over for this weekend.'
̳Very well, we'll go this evening. Have you been there?' Shakeela smiled
at him.
̳Yes...'
̳How is she? She's come home after a long time,' Shakeela remarked.
̳Yes, after two months.'
Shakeela sensed Asjad was upset. ̳Is there a problem?'
̳Ami, I find Imama a little changed,' Asjad said with a sigh.
̳Changed? What do you mean?' I cannot explain what I mean. It's just that her attitude towards me israther strange.' Asjad shrugged his shoulders. ̳Today she took offence
to something quite minor. She's not the way she was before. I am not
able to figure out the reason for this change.'
̳It's your imagination, Asjad. Why would her attitude change? You are
thinking too emotionally.'
̳No, Ami. Initially, I thought I was being oversensitive, but after today I
don't think I am imagining things. She treats me in a very offhand
manner.'
̳What do you think is the reason for this change in her attitude?' she
asked as she put the brush back on the table.
̳I have no idea...'
̳Did you ask her?'
̳Not just once, but several times.'
̳And?'
̳Like you, she always says that I am mistaken.' He shrugged again.
̳Sometimes, she says it's because of her studies, sometimes, she says it is
because she has matured now...'
̳It's not so far-fetched; perhaps, that is the reason,' Shakeela replied
pensively.
̳Ami, it's not a question of her becoming serious! I think she's moving
away from me,' said Asjad.
̳You're being silly, Asjad. I don't believe there's any such issue. You
have both known each other since childhood. You know your
temperaments.'
Shakeela felt her son's fears were meaningless. ̳Obviously, changes do
take place as the years pass: you're no longer children. Stop worrying
over trivialities,' she tried to reason with her son. ̳In any case, Hashim
Bhai wants the two of you to get married next year. Imama can continue
and complete her education afterwards. He wants to fulfill his
responsibility,' Shakeela revealed.
̳When did he say this?' Shakeela was taken by surprise.
̳Many times. In fact, I think they may have started the preparations.'
Asjad breathed a sigh of relief.
̳Maybe that is why Imama is agitated.'
̳Yes, possibly. The wedding should take place next year,' Asjad replied
with some satisfaction.
