...the moment she stepped into the drawing room  she could smell the  fulness of stress pervading the entire house,  she could feel it and sense it, abbu s face  looked  serious to a dangerous extent,  jahangir  s forehead creased  many times  and  ready to  explode in the fire of fury, and phuphu  who was a woman  had no real reason to show kindness,  her face  was  a perfect  specimen of neon sign flashing  sparks, ready to  humiliate the  visitors,  khala in a defeated voice greeted them and silently placed the tray she clutched on the central table  after all  etiquette are  also  something to remember  , she began  pouring the  sweet soft drink  sherbet and served them 

Thank you dear  softly said  aziz s mother when she offered her the glass of sherbet,  she too sat down  beside them  , the  air was heavy with  gloom and silence,  the heaviness  hung over them and its weight was felt,  it was  next to impossible to speak up for all of them 

Bhaisab it is unbelievable  but true that we too were not aware of that 

All right,  agreed you weren't aware of the facts  , perhaps  the presence of child escaped your knowledge but what about the paper marriage,  why did was this  kept a secret asked jahangir  in a sharp cutting tone from aziz s mother

To some extent madam,  you know well  master  gives only command and  so many like him  follow  him 

That is absolutely correct Jones,  now what is your next step 

He replied in a noncommittal manner  there were so many matters to be seen,  effort was taken to make things possible 

Ok, sonia  wrapped up the conversation and punched Ibrahim  s number 

Hello , Maryam responded a male voice in a baritone,  , a frown appeared on sonia  s forehead 

Hello dad,  I just called you to tell you something and ask about something,  her tone was  icy 

Speak up 

Do you want my presence in this project here 

Apparently that's why you are sent there so you could help speed up the process and    spread fear 

Then  why am I not included in  the  executive level,  do you know I took up a task at the harbor and next day  look what all happened 

This is our  mutual understanding,  listen Maryam  it is a great  project that can not be  managed just by a couple of people

There was a new wave of  terrorism expected in town,  the danger was lurking  and they had to stay alert  , no new development insignificant it might look should be ignored,  vigilance could  improve  with   cctv camera systems installed in more delicate areas,  they were getting  an extra grant for it because  it was indispensable for the security and control anti social elements

It was him  the first winner of the race and third winner in the training,  the officer heard him and picked up a file kept on the table  turning the  pages  he said all that was fine now tell me why were you suspended by your senior 

Sir  with due respect kindly explain if a constable is a private domestic servant 

Why do you ask this question he asked a question in  his response 

Sir,  my main responsibility  was to pick up the skills h o s children from school to drop them home and buy groceries  in addition  as bonus all he got was rebukes from the lady of the house,

....there is a famous saying  there is a woman behind every  successful man,  how far is that right  , he himself was  somewhat  with some changes  a perfect example of it, his name was asfand, depth director  narcotics ,  but how he reached there  is a long story  and today he  picked up his pen just to  narrate  it

He was born in a poverty stricken family,  his father worked  in a government job as a helper , his salary wasn't  adequate enough to cover the  cost of entire family life,  perhaps  that was the reason mother  took out her sewing machine  given her in her dowry  to raise more money,  she stitched clothes of the neighbors on order,  asfand  had two elder sisters who had dropped out from school to help mother,  ever since  the two sisters  joined mother  their financial  condition  improved and all eyes  turned their focus on asfand  when he would complete his matric  and abba would  take him to office and he would become one more  financial asset 

Since he wasn't interested in studies yet he was regular at school but he spent more time   in body building  at a gym,  it was  very costly at unaffordable price so he  joined a wrestling ring in the colony and before he reached the threshold of youth  he had  acquired a most  handsome  body

...dear friend,  it was really fantastic to spend someone  who is a miser s money said leni doing  wholehearted justice with the ice cream,  the four of them sat in  a restaurant having lunch and later  on mahpara  s suggestion  came to a fun park and to enjoy  the weather  mahpara  gave them a treat of an ice-cream each 

Well I am thinking of making a video of you having ice-cream and send it to your father,  the lecture a doctor father gives  is much more enjoyable and double the  fun time,  mahpara  chewed her words and the others laughed,  it was purely unforgettable  outing 

She argued it was her  nicety that  she agreed to pay for them all  though she did nothing wrong but  to keep them silent she  paid  or how long would they have   displayed their  idiocracy  dragging her along with them  

Uruj  in a mock affectionate tone expressed  her  gratitude 

But  he still hadn't  confessed  though he was guilty,  he claimed it was a trap set for him , he was innocent and  didn't know how  a stranger  mobile  was discovered in his office  and who made  videos in the restaurant secretly  of him

...what is the program for winter vacation 

Don't you  even think of camping and joining camps,  twice already we have experienced it and on both times  it proved a disaster,  ammi has in advance  alerted  them strictly  that they must not  plan such  activities and intend on  because  in such  dangerous  outings  it won't be possible for her  to go with them,  leni quickly replied to mahpara s queries,  Last time she  actually got herself in a most precious situation,  it was simply her good luck she got out alive and lived to tell about it,  her parents  specially her mother was possessive about her because it's natural to be extra sensitive about your only child,  anyway  she too had no plans to carry out plans  to repeat her bad experience  a   clear mistake,  like  any other  routine  studying routine is always  considered a boring task,  a handful of holidays  and who wants to balance the heavy burden of daily responsibilities,  she better stay relatively relaxed,  wrinkling her upturned nose  declared decidedly  roshni  commenting on leni s mummy and then  disclosing her  own plans 

Then what should we do asked mahpara go outing  or a local trip 

How can we go anywhere,  just three days ago   got better from the flu,  daddy   says  I must  stay out of trouble this season and be careful

...jasim  dialed  najya s number.  Just now  he had  cellular talk with David but now  all he got was disappointing frustration,  according to the information given by David  the number of najya was dead,  no longer  available to contact 

As long as jasim  remained  busy speaking to David   gaffar kept  a watch on him,  when jasim  shut off the  phone call  he couldn't refrain from asking  , son who was  on the  phone,  you were saying  najya is disappeared,  tell me where is she,  in what condition 

He gave him his explanation,  he said  najya was  not contactable  because  it was  from her number that he received the call,  she was absolutely fine  but you will have to  wait patiently for  a few days,  on reaching  Istanbul  she will be  handed him  safely 

Gaffer expressed his fears,  he didn't know who was  speaking to jasim  on phone  but  all he understood was  someone wanted  him to work in his  TV reality show and you aren't   willing to work  so  to make you change your mind  he is emotionally arm twisting  you by keeping  her hostage,  is that right

....after a long time  mehtab question had gone  for a morning walk in the posh park of the  locality,  he was  in his sixties  but absolutely  in a fantastic health,  the most important thing  was that he had no stress and second thing  to stay fit was  he himself because he always kept himself occupied in different  tasks,  clad in a track suit , an expensive  frame   to the glasses he wore,  he now  looked around for a bench somewhere to rest before  going back homewards 

Mehrab qureshi was a popular name in the film and television industry,  he had given  several superhit movies during the slump he switched over to the smaller screen,  he established his own  production house  and  became a storm of a success with his first  serial,  overnight his production house became  the most sought after  company,  he  got busy in the industry giving  superhit  after superhit,  a strict disciplinarian he worked hard and  made his  staff  work  to his satisfaction,  simply he was  a perfectionist,  he was thorough in details and maintained a team of best writers and directors always at his   disposal

...before his room was a gallery  that opened into a small terrace and he spent time studying there,  his comfortable sofa  and wood grill  next to which was placed a high stool on which he would  perch to survey the entire  circular street 

There was just one  way to get into the street,  it could be defined as a rough road  not wrongly,  it seemed as if  one was moving upwards  and right in front of you appeared  the marvelous looking haveli ancient  and presented to the  great grandfather  , the ancestral haveli was surrounded with  small and big cottages  to end at the only road  that lead into the street,  mostly the houses belonged to anaar s clan, his ammi used to tell him  that earlier both sides of the old haveli were  vacant  to not allow  clusters of cottages to spoil its looks but amaar s grandfather  later  gave away the  surrounding lands to the clan to settle down there and  very soon  a colony of close relatives   grew up 

The special thing about the circular street was that a high  platform was  built in its middle and an old  banyan oak tree grew in its  center  with  the  soft area round it, come summer and  the cool shade  was cast in all directions   , come rains and  it gave  dry shelter to all  , other times   its coolness  enveloped the  cottages

The  corporator  started the conversation  that he had  heard so much about the other  in the underworld  the reason  he had  decided to call only him for a specific task,  his office was  ultrasound proof besides being bu.let proof  so they could talk freely,  the nodded  and the corporate continued  smiling  , he pulled out a brown envelope from the  drawer of the table  as the other sat quietly watching the corporate s activity  passively,  the corporator extracted a colored picture out from the brown envelope  placing it before the other  tapping it with his  index finger  the corporator said this was the target

.... thinking  the female voice that answered his phone  belonged to  the  wife of the Seth sahib he stammered  politely  he wanted to talk urgently 

The voice asked who was he 

Sehrab , right hand man of the Seth sahib

Wao, right hand man , the voice  changed  to coquettery  , he got confused 

The  naughty voice  continued  sweetly Rustam sehrab sahib,  whatever you want to tell  father  he could tell her,  something flashed in his mind  so that was the daughter of the Seth sahib, he was  still  struggling  with what to say  and without anymore  time wasted she spoke  without any hesitation  what made him so nervous,  first of all his  voice was so low almost inaudible,  in fact  she felt his tonal  quality  underlined his fear and  fright 

It's like this  he explained he was speaking from a p c o in a house  and didn't want anyone to hear him so  would  she just please   he had something of utmost importance to tell her father  and  let him speak to him

... the  man s attitude was  surprising  and rather odd, though both of them had  come together as a couple  the woman   kept on chattering for the past hour  incessantly  but the man sat silently  not uttering a word  , it felt he was  there a show piece   to be seen  and finally the lawyer stopped the woman  respectfully,  anila ji , who is this man with you 

He  is a resident neighbor   she explained,  his name is Muhammad yahoo, ours are very  close family relationship with yahoo bhai  and his family because there wasn't anyone else to accompany her she  had brought him along 

So that's it, the lawyer commented noncommittal and  turned his attention to the male , yahoo  sahib what do you do for a living 

In a most simple manner  yaqoob  informed him he  worked in a shop at a cloth house,  because his speech wasn't clear  anila explained  it was  jamya cloth house  shop he worked  in, 

Again the lawyer  turned to ask yaqoob what kind of things were sold there 

Jamya cloth  is one of the  famous   central  city shop where  besides  clothing other  things are also sold,   surrounded with spicy  chaat shops , the lawyer  crossed the  road daily on his way to and back to the city court

, to make her project a success she had really done her homework well,  she took  careful    effort to details,  every time she was ready to explore and experiment with new ideas,  she would go shopping to the mart sometimes  in the early morning  sometimes in the daytime  and sometimes in the late evenings  and returned with something new and different,  , she was  absolutely attractive in her style and appearance   giving the duty clerk a head spin  every time he saw her,  he would obediently  follow  her instructions  to please her,  just a couple of  hours ago she had selected three cartons of floor tiles  to go back home,  same type of three cartons were also kept in a  trolley  that were to be returned

Along with  her grandmother  s key and they ring  chip was  attached,   turning the key into the main entrance door  Julie was  absolutely  getting crazy  sentimental,  she thought the door would open  and she would  step into the past that was so beautiful  but nothing like that happened,  her first step inside the open house  was  surrounded with the old library books of her grandmother and  that peculiar  cigarette smoke  stale and stuffy 

Bill  could choke on the unpleasant air , he felt Julie  s  dead grandmother was still alive and  her strong presence was  felt,  Julie ignored his remarks completely and walked in, Bill  accompanied her with his tongue wagging all the time  asking her to simply drop the idea of acquiring the junk  inviting her they went back to their life and apartment,  she straightforwardly told him he could go back if he wanted to,  she was there to stay,      she  started to explore the house from the living room  breathing deep,  in her  primary school days  Julie had moved into this house

Gul sahib didn't bother about longer  way to his office  but agha sahib was arrived  stopped him short,  agha sahib had   through the court    got the four  storey  vintage building   and he was the only  owner of it, Gul  sahib  for three months had not  paid him the office rent, taking this side  of flight  of stairs meant big problem,  Gul sahib changed his mind and turned towards the other side but  not before  seeing the dirty tobacco stained teeth  of the electric tea man  resemble a grin  protruding  out of his mouth

junur was  a properly trained   in warfare,  observing how  active the girls were  Shahid also   collected himself  and  recovered his lost courage that he had begun spinning  sob stories to escape  from  there 

Before departure  junur  explained  very nicely that  she won't  be recording  any videos  , the team had arrived in a  strong four-wheel   double cabin  dala, Hamid introduced himself as the team  manager  a young man,  all the eight of them were dressed in  plain simple  dark clothes,  what was really  drawing attention to them was  their  extraordinary swiftness,  the  asim group also  got themselves up in there with them

Why  what happened  he was shocked 

The secret bugs microphones and cameras were discovered accidentally the table got turned over and the microphone became visible,  fauza explained   from the last live recording she  felt gul Malik was  attacked 

Meanwhile  Tariq was making arrangements to pick up these  attackers

Shaukat brought  the bags of feed , his swelling on the face was less horrifying,  he had told about his injuries to rajab and Rashid  the face was swollen after a  fall

Asim whispered into his ear  to run away to live 

Shaukat dropped the feed bag and  stammered what happened 

There wasn't any time to  question answer round  he must quickly disappear from sight and that spot for a few weeks

He was filled with  inner rage and deep compassion for the condition of the tribe  all he could do was  swallow the bitter  gulp of  patience  for the sake of law and  order  , others  had him sentimentally  neutralized

The day started with breakfast  followed by lunch and shopping 8n between,  he attended two meetings  but  when faraz had to wait for  the  train  extra two hours  amaar had to  listen to a variety of  accusing  verbology   at the platform 

What kind of interest  amaar had  traveling in trains, air condition busses were more comfortable,  but  anaar wouldn't be amaar if he agreed  to others viewpoint,  he had mastered the skill of  unhearing and completely  ignoring  pouring bitterness  to stay calm and stressfree, faraz  moaning  groaning growling  mincing  his words stayed there till the train  disappeared in the oblivion  with  anaar

Come on friends   your mamu sahib will be here  in a short time,  patting  shan on the shoulder  faraz asked them to take it easy,  though his own heart was about to burst out , five years is a long time to stay away from your  closest friend 

Finally  a Aaron emerged from the crowd  and Sarah did exactly that she had wanted  absolutely what faraz had expected,  she ran to hug her brother,  when she was satisfied it was really amaar  she reluctantly  stood  by his side, 

Sarah,  since when did you become so sentimental  he laughed 

She again looked at her brother clad in blue jeans and  blue  shirt,  his  hard work and intellect  had changed his  countenance  but his eyes still shone mischief 

He turned to meet the cuties the four year roshni,  faraz opened his arms and  hugged him warmly
