bhed bhari

.... it was nearly ten at night,  the room was dimly  lit , there was a medium sized mirror  fixed on the wall,  a foot away from the  from the mirror sat Catherine comfortably in a sofa,  she was staring at tge mirror fir the past half hour,  suddenly  ger reflection in the mirror began   vibrating  , gradually  it disappeared completely,  leaving the mirror  absolutely clear,  , the color of the mirror  started to change to white,  the whole mirror  turned to stark white of a  shroud,  she was still staring  at the mirror  , few moments passed and  the sides of the mirror  turned  black like an overcast sky the mirror was now completely  covered with  darkness,  there was no sign of change  showing in her condition,  her gaze still  fixed on the mirror,  the darkness  began to shrink  to the size of a ball before vanishing 
Catherine's etes brightened up , she was  inaudibly mumbling something  the mirror responded  with some  kind of activity to produce  images  finally to reveal a reflection of an old man,    the image in the beginning wasn't clear but some time later it was visible  with clarity and  great  detail,  his lips moved to utter softly   ,  congratulations dear daughter  on your success

from previous

....party was arranged in the  dance club,  first round of dance was  going on,  mukhtyar was drinking  with his four friends,  an ultra modern  extremely attractive  girl was sipping her sherry  on the  side table,  mukhtyar didn't drink  at all and going home drunk  meat  experiencing  father's  wrath  and  beiing tossed  out of the house,  he would  wait for tge double peg impact to recede 
What an exciting  item she is   , shaukat gestured  glancing at her ,  
What made her sit near us
 Spoke Salim
,  she was  requested  a dance on the first round  by a young handsome man  but she declined  annoyed 
Embarrassed  he turned away  and disappeared somewhere 
She us arrogant 
Then why is she here  yaqub remarked

 The auction began,   , forty lakh was the opening  amount,  Rashid bid sixty,  another voice kept on increasing  , finally  Rashid bid   one crore and the three bangs sealed the deal, , some of the  bidders  congratulated  him , one  cynically   smiling  remarked  it was  Rashid  s loss , the  factory was worth  ninety  lakh  , Rashid genuinely smiled back  explaining, he himself  had   floated it , the factory was  worth much  more,  many onlookers cheered Rashid,  when Rashid left the auction house he was in a hurry to reach his father kanal  Rao,   to share the news of his accomplishment  , but first things first he had to go to his office 
There was a road section  with hardly any traffic  and  few people,  he saw some boys  engaged in a brawl,  usually  he ignored and avoided  such  street fights, , but his cousin  mukhtyar was amongst them and he had to   stop his car , he moved towards them,  mukhtyar was one alone  against  the other four,  his one eye was injured ,  
Stop  it all of you  screamed  Rashid  from a distance,  , or I call the police,  three  of them fled hearing  the threat,  the fourth could not escape because  mukhtyar had caught him  by his collar

fataha ansu

..family Rao belonged to  middle class strata community,  he had too many hopes from his son , who emerged as a hero to the  roaming useless youngsters,  all hopes of fazil Rao  were shattered,  both father and son remained  to each other completely strangers,  mukhtyar was the heartthrob of mother,  her name was rajya , family correctly believed  mukhtyar was  completely spoiled  only because of her wrong training 
You always blame me  one fine morning  rajya  erupted at the breakfast table  ,  why ever did you not  help him  understand  better 
He never was present  to communicate with me explained  family helplessly  now he has overgrown  that stage  he is twenty  not ready to listen,  he us just an educated fool

khwab dareechey aur umeed

....reaching the hospital corridor she sat the little girl on the floor,  , the  piece of paper  held in her left hand slid into her other hand,  then she pulled the  wide shawl from over her head to reset it neatly back  , her swollen jaw and  bruises entirely forgotten 
This is exactly what happens,  mother always forgets herself  her own predicament  to protect her progeny,  she had even forgotten that  uncovering her head would  reveal her invisible  bluish bruises  running across her face from her temple to the jaw  openly to others , before sge could  properly  cover herself  a cutting renark  stabbed her, she winced
She was  lost in a whirlpool of worries  , someone  well dressed  and in polished pair of shoes came to stand before her  from nowhere 
You??

First confirm it , it's you,  what's this marking on your face,  the intensity in his eyes was remarkable  not  moving  transfixed  strongly on her, then the color of his eyes and his face unexpectedly changed many shades 
Does your husband abuse you,  his controlled tone carried  hushed rage 
Without answering she lowered herself to pick up her girl

....the mobile   that was used in their  development of friendship was never mentioned again,  in fact she had completely forgotten about it,  all that she remembered was  Balaji loved her adored her sincerely 
She  would go back home Kate,  making excuses she was kept late in the lab , her abbu  fully  believed her and never checked her timetable 
Phuphu was quite annoyed with abbu,  she  chose the other phuphu  s daughter fir marriage,  on the other hand  tai  began  picking up meaningless  quarrels  with ammi  because she didn't want  her son to marry zainab  but all her efforts were made futile  when Taya gave green signal to go forward  declaring zahani  alliance  between  zainab and asud
