It was past midnight when Zaim Hussain entered his house. The house was silent, indicating everyone is long gone inside their respective rooms.

Taking steps toward stairs, his shoes made noise in the silence

"Mamma! Aap yaha kyu so rahi hain?" He took his steps back which were about to climb stairs and went to Nimra

(Why are you sleeping here?)

"Kaha the?"

(Where were you?)

"Woh office mein kaam zyada tha," Lie. He left office on usual time. He just didn't wanted to come here where she is. But not his

(Mamma I'm hungry, please! serve food,)
