Shifa signs Zaeem to get up, but Zaeem grinned and shook his head in a big no.
Then she pressed her lips in thin line and pick up some clay from the ground.
She glares him with some determination in her face and when she was about to throw clay on him, he quickly got up, bobbing once.
The clay falls on one of her sculpture, she groaned loudly and Zaeem stifles his laugh.
She glared at him and narrowed her eyes then Zaeem raised his hand in defeat, and laughed out loud.
"Zaeem" Someone called out for him.
They gazed at that person, and next second a big smile crept on his face.
"Ammi" he shouted like a small boy, and runs to her, and stopped in front of her.
Zubaira was just looking him with shock on her face, she didn't believe that her son is back.
She looked at his smiling face, reading him, trying to figure out if it is Zaeem.
Seeing her reaction Zaeem grinned and nodded his head.
Then Zubaira cried loudly and hugged him.
She started sobbing is his embrace "Zaeem, you..."
"Zaeem hugged her more tightly not wanting to leave his mother's warmth, he said "Yes ammi...."
She breaks the embrace and started showering kisses on his forehead "Mera baccha, kahan chla gya tha tu, ammi ko cchor ke, ammi ki yaad bilkul bhi nhi aayi? Haan? Bta?" she demanded him. (My child, where were you, leaving your mother alone, didn't you remembered your ammi, yes? Tell me?)
Zaeem again hugged her "Mujhe maaf kar de ammi, pta nhi nahi kaise raha main aapke bagair" He glance at Shifa, who was smiling and tears felling from her eyes seeing them, "Bahut yaad aayi, bahut, itna ki bta nhi skta, dur jaa ke pata chla ki, kitni jruri ho aap mere liye, sans lena duswar ho gya tha mera, mgr phir bhi jeene ki koshish kr rha tha aapke bagair, pr nahi ho paya, thak haar ke wapis aana hi pada, aur ab kabhi bhi wapis nhi jaunga, promise." He break the embrace and smiled at his sobbing ammi. (Forgive me mother, don't know how I lived without you) (I remembered you very much, very much, even I don't know how much, after going away from you I realized that, how much you are important to me, I can't even breath, but still I tried to live without you, but I couldn't, I have to came back, and I will never go back again.)
Zubaira wiped her tears and glances at Shifa "Khala ki jaan , dekha maine kaha tha na ki Zaeem wapis aa jayega," she said enthusiastically. (Dear, see I told you Zaeem will come back)
Shifa nodded her head and smiled then her smiled faltered her face become neutral and after some time she raised her eyebrows as if she was reminding something to Zubaira.
Zubaira narrowed her eyes then, pressed her lips and nodded at her.
She walked slowly toward verandah and picks the broom, and turned to Zaeem.
Zaeem opens his mouth and next second, both of them started running marathon.
And Shifa laughed loudly.
And for next 15 minutes Zubaira was running behind Zaeem with broom in her hand.
Then Zaeem stops behind Shifa and hold her with her waist, her back touching his front and Zaeem yelled "Ammi, I'm sorry na, please."
"Oh, your sorry will never work, I need you to teach some lesson, leave Shifa."
"Ammi" he whined.
"Ok" she throws broom away and Shifa freed herself from him.
And looks here and there embarrassingly.
"Shifa, dear go now and get ready, and yes check all the dishes if it is all right, he never liked disoriented things." She said to her.
Shifa ran away from there.
Zaeem looked at them confusingly "who ammi, I'm okay with disoriented things, you know right, and how do know that I....."
But Zubaira cuts his bumbling words in between and said "who is talking about you idiot, Danish is coming, that for him."
"Danish..." he tried to remember the name, then it clicked his mind and he said out aloud "Chacha jaan"
"Yes your chacha jaan" Zubaira said with smile.
Zaeem frowned "Why, after 24 year he remember us, and we don't have any relation with them, remember, when my so called abba divorced you for that vile women, no one from his family supported us, they throw us out........"
"And your khala, Shifa's mother gave us a roof to live. I remember, more than you and you also left us for......." Zubaira retorted but Zaeem cuts her "It's different thing ammi."
Zubaira raised her hand to stop and said "Behave when they will come and if you don't want to then pack yourself in your room, please, it's important for Shifa." Zubaira said her final words and leave from there, leaving a fuming Zaeem behind, he huffed loudly then his face become confused....
Why it is important for Shifa?
