from previous

..he opened his eyes in the morning  , rukhsar was  offering her namaz, he got out of his bed did his walk and  recited his namaz,  rukhsar said it was  so silent upstairs nobody was   heard walking around,   
He explained upstairs had no kids who would jump around  and  it was so early  five thirty only  perhaps  they got up late,  rukhsar felt embarrassed  for he was right  , she had  in fact  taken two rounds outside in the hope of seeing the upstairs family 
He laughed at her curiosity and the concern   so maternal  her instinct was   , would she like to have tea he would make it for her 
She used to like him  for making tea for her,  they both became rather nostalgic,  she relaxed before the television  and he went to the kitchen to make tea 
The window was open,  soft cool breeze  blew in , both  began  having their  freshly made hot tea, , she began talking about sarmad  s childhood,  how  shy he used to be and now  what an amazing   success  he had got, 
Naturally  they prided in their  son s feats taking  credit for being his parents  and his accomplishments 
They slept of exhaustion of the previous day  his sleep  was  disrupted  by  screaming,  mahin was screaming  incessantly,  papa come quickly,  her voice frightened,  they ran out , from the  door was coming in Ahmed  followed by Mahmud,  their faces white  followed by mahin , they all couldn't speak and their eyes were wide open with horror,  she  shakily pointed towards  something and collapsed on to the ground,  she was  saved from banging her head  and sat on the  sofa,  then  another scream was heard,  this time it was  rukhsar,  he ran outside,  the door leading upstairs was left open and rukhsar stood   staring  in a state of shock  in that direction,  her eyes  rolling  spinning like a wheel 
Unable to take it anymore he looked around,  the floor was covered with dust and the hall was empty with nobody seen around,  he rushed towards sarmad s room
