Love you sis ,for the sake of Allah<3
A pleasant,cheerful morning was once again made welcome by the bustling city
of Mumbai.It was the beginning of another monotonous day & each poor soul
was compelled to step out of the confines of its safe abode & set to its assigned
task!! There were goals to achieve,responsibilities to shoulder & wishes to be fulfilled..!!
The latter part was however the last thing to turn to,if one was fortunate enough to
spare some time after the accomplishment of the first two priorities!! Mostly however...
wishes remained wishes....dumped & buried in the corner of a struggling heart...!!!!
The folks who were by now used to this harsh reality resumed their day with
equal enthusiasm & spirits! Some preferred to conceal the extent of their hardships
behind a forced smile,others chose to portray their heartfelt emotions on their
outward appearance!!!
Anyhow life went on.....!!!!!
Mr.Hussain Bakhtiyar just like the other folks of the city had left for work early
as usual. The two remaining members of his house ,however,were in a hyper active
morning mode.....!!!!!
His indolent son Danish,who as usual had awoken "as early as the rooster" &
was now excavating the room to find his "ever lost" belongings.......
& his dutiful daughter Nawal,who fortunately had come for a stay was helping
her irritated ,annoyed brother while simultaneously preparing his King like breakfast!!!
Shirin & Zohaib had left just yesterday & the house was in a clear mess...!!!
"Here Dany,I found your physics journal." Nawal announced,entering the room,
journal in one hand,& frying spoon in another!!!
Danish who had spilled half of his wardrobe contents on the floor,frantically
turned to her,relief washing over his worried features as his eyes took in the
lost object...!!!
"May Allah bless you Nawwu!Where did you find that?" He questioned as he
took the said object from her.
"In my room...it was kept on the edge of the table in such a way that
it could fall with the slightest push...", His sister nonchalantly stated before
returning to the kitchen.
" I knew it",Dany yelled in exasperation as he placed it in his bag & looked
for other stuff."Shirin di must have kept it there!!!!"
"Fine then", Nawal yelled back from the kitchen ," I ask her why she did that
when she calls."
"Are you planning to get me killed? " Danish instantly blurted pausing in his
hurried tasks, "She will catch the first flight back to India and powder me to pulp
first thing on her arrival!!! And by the way,I just meant to tell Shirin di must have
" accidentally " kept it there! A responsible person like her will never do it
deliberately! " He added the last sentence in a sheepish manner like a frightened
little kitten with its tail between its legs!!!
Nawal stifled a laugh at his sudden tone change and continued to do her work.
After a lot of hustle & bustle ,& finally getting ready,Danish Bakhtiyar stepped
out of his room in his indolent glory,& entered the kitchen where his beloved sister
was rushing around frantically.
"Dany go,sit in your room,I'll just bring your bre...." Nawal stopped midsentence
as her brother stuffed a few bites in his mouth hurriedly planning to leave
without eating it all.
