Ch 2: Introducing Me

Hey! I am back again :D :D

My holidays are just about to end so, I thought I needed to gear up and update as much as I can because Monday ke baad mera kya hoga, even I don't know. LOL

Oh by the way, if I don't end up updating before Eid,

Eid Mubarak to all of you in advance!! =D

HappyReading

~~~HUSSAIN's POV~~~

"And this area is just amazing. I have been living here for about three months and I love the people," Jabir uncle smiled warmly at me as he showed me around the neighbourhood.

"Of course uncle," I smiled back and he knelt down to pick up the morning newspaper.

"Oh wait!" I stopped Him and bent down, "main utha deta hoon."

"Thank you," he patted my back and I lifted my hand to my chest, bowing down a little.

"How can you not know your seven times table?" I raised my eyes to spot Madiha on the far corner. About six children sat in front of her and one was standing, with their book in Madiha's hand.

Subha subha iska daant ka kota shuru.

"Kal toh ki thi? Kahaan hai book? Show it to me!" She scolded the little girl and she quickly pulled out another book.

"Yeh aap hi ki beti hai?" I blurted out of nowhere and my eyes widened.

Shit! Yeh kya pooch liya uncle se?

"N-nahi woh a-aap aur aunty itne sweet hein and she is always getting angry," I stuttered, backing up my stupid question.

Uncle chuckled and shook his head, "issi se toh ab meri aur Ateefa ki zindagi hai. She is strict at times but, her heart is like pure gold."

I nodded, still staring at her and uncle sighed, "yeah, somewhere down the line, she has forgotten how to smile... Hamari wajah se khud ke liye jeena bhool gayi hai. Life is never fair but, it has been extra cruel to her."

I frowned at his words and looked down, "Ji? Main samjha nahi?"

"Arey suniyein!" Aunty's voice interrupted our mini conversation, "market se dhoodh le aayein zara!"

"Abhi laya," uncle yelled back and turned to me, "I'll be back soon!"

"Why? You wait here and I'll get it," I insisted but he shook his head. "No I need my morning walk anyway."

I nodded and he left. I turned my attention to Madiha. Yesterday she gave tuitions to three batches and now she even has morning classes. Iske paas saans lene ka time bhi hota hai kya?

"I need neat handwriting tomorrow! Ok?" She now had her paws around another student's neck and I rolled my eye.

"Bache hein, subha subha saans toh lene do!" I chuckled and all the eyes turned to me. The kids stared at me in amusement while Madiha narrowed her eyes at me.

I blinked at the kids and smiled, "aaj chutti!"

Within a blink, they grabbed their bags and raced out of the garden. I watched them disappear and then I realised what I had just done.

"How dare you?!" Madiha growled, marching towards me and I backed off.

"Wow! Easy woman! You needed a break anyway. Ek class se kya farak parta hai?" I shrugged, holding my hands up in the air.

Small crinkles formed between her eyebrows as she blew air out of her mouth. Maybe trying to cool herself down.

"You won't understand how much each class means to them ... and to me," she replied lowly, blinking at the floor, "This was equivalent to one student missing out on one whole week."
