ma jaya

...she looked  nervously around,  the university grounds  looked so  secluded,   fir some unknown reason  tge can also didn't  show up, , all the students had left, 
She  thought of ringing up her brother,  tge screen displayed her brother's  name  faran bhai  , she immediately cut off the line,  there was no benefit,  he would unnecessarily get disturbed,  ever since faran bhai got married  ge became  only  his wife's,  he simply forgot his mother and sister who  once upon a time  were his world  and he doted  upon them,  now  every time  he scowled on  them and blooded,  suddenly  they had become  irrelevant and  heavy burden to him 
Anita who was  his life before he got married  was   now just discarded  and  completely  ignored,  he was totally indifferent to them,  , he was answerable only to his  wife and children  and married life,  he shirked his responsibilities   and was  no longer concerned with mother and sister,  the focal point of importance  had shifted  ,

...one blessed Friday  they were married off in  a simple  nikah  ceremony,  kabur was clad in off white suut  with sky blue j waist coat,  the handsome couple  was  an eye catching sight , after the  meal  every one  enjoyed gossiping  happily  over  their  kehva  , kabir  without getting noticed   reached  a ayat s room,  he congratulated her oh their marriage,  he sat down in the sofa close to her 
She responded her congratulates to him,  they promised to be happy together for life,  he held her hand between his both hands 
How  successfully  everything worked out,  now I don't  believe in unhappy ending to love stories anymore,  love is nature and easy to get,  love is a beautiful  sentiment  that   silently  descends  on you  and  catches you  not so impossible as is said,  , our love story is one liner
Absolutely true   but only if  the bride is phuphu s daughter  the groom mamu  s son  and  both be in love

....I am dead,  what life are you talking about, I died when my wife and daughter did,  you just go away,  I don't need any favors from you,  shut the door after you 
They will kill you  within a couple of days 
Life and death is only in the hands of God,  the powerful  don't have that power  or half of the world would be wiped out  by now,  I shall live  if it's destiny 
For  some more time  zartaj and  abdal kept  their verbal tug of war, abdal  was  in  such a state of mind  that he wasn't ready to listen and agree  with zartaj  but  suddenly he saw something behind  zartaj  that  abdal  gave up  his refusal

The woman  was constantly screaming  inside her boundaries of the house,  abdal was the  chieftain of the area and responsible  member of the clan  , he was only  twenty eight,  , he had to find out what was happening,  almost running out of the small car he  stepped inside the half open door  of the house,  his younger brother akhlaq followed him,  ,  the sight of a group of four men and women  wrestling  with a tall young woman  drew their immediate attention,  the girl had long black hair  hiding her  long neck and  golden complexion,  in her hands she clutched a sharp  axe with a small handle,  the first impression abdal had was  she was going to  attack someone,  , then he realized she wasn't going to attack anyone but was  injuring herself,  she had made a couple of deep cuts on her own  beautiful face , the cuts  bled long lines  down her neck 
What's happening  roared abdal

Some naive girls looked quite confused and  one of them asked nazli,  baji what is the job and it's requirements 
Nazli   smiled wickedly  , weren't they  informed already  and she wasn't  baji but madam 
The  confused girl  nodded in bewilderment  
Nazli appointed  shabby to   give them  doos and don't,    girls could consult  shabbu  for their doubts  
The faces of the girls  turned deathly  now

....Kiran ended her talk and shut the phone,  she had  decided to take the extreme step to find her missing sister , her sister  was  unknowingly trapped  in an unseen  web , now Kiran was  planning to get herself  entangled into the same web, she had  always   rightly  doubted it was saif who had  ensnared her sister,  she  had never liked him  but her sister Anam was  crazy about him in love,  saifi had unknown  contact  circle  and he had shown  Anam  dreams of becoming a model,  she  got lost  chasing her dreams,  what were the consequences,  it was not certain  , , Kiran was  looking for answers,  , she became friends with saifi,   saifi  began showing her the same dreams of becoming a model,  he offered her a modeling job,   who was  fooling and who preying  tge  time  only could  tell,  Kiran  for her sister's sake was coming to Karachi from Lahore,  mahim was her strength 
Karachi is a   big city  area wise and  population wise , all types of  people  are settled there,  therefore all types of criminals are found there,  amazingly wide range of crimes  are seen there,  everywhere  a different level of  crime , the black sheep inside the police department  give them full power,  protectors  are partners of criminals 
When Kiran  started her journey from Lahore  this was the situation

....some  people  were gathered  at a random  spot  on a secluded road in the city,  , the focus of the group  was a dead  girl  laying by the road side   tree, , a deep gash on her forehead suggested  she was shot dead , her clothes were  soaked in her own blood  ,  it was a morbid blood puddle,  the  gathered around   murmured   collectively    rising  excited voices    were heard in snatches,  
Who could she be 
It seems sge was  hit by a bullet 
Someone call the police and the ambulance 
Everyone  get aside  a rough voice  announced the arrival of police,  an  a s I and a constable  cutting across the crowd reached the body, seeing the body a color passed  on shehzad  s face,  he vent down to check  her pulse,  Murad was by his side,  his expression  was  of bewilderment  trying to  place her identity,  he was about to blurt out something  but his senior  silently  gestured him to stay secretive  and straightened up,  shehzad began giving out instructions,   first to take her pictures,  then  send the body on ambulance  ,  remove the crowd,  only  who were to give  statements could  remain standing there,  shehroz  the s h o was contacted 
Wali Murad wanted to say something  but  shehzad  ordered him to keep his mouth tightly shut and  say nothing  at all, it was  more of a threat  than command

...I say let's play video games,, now from where to get ludo partners,  without partners  no fun,  spoke kabir  sitting  before inayat with the remote 
I don't like video games,  ,  they kill me 
You are afraid of defeat 
Not from defeat but the anticipation of defeat  scares me 
Aren't you crazy,  our mothers endless chatterings 
or they could have proved our game partners 
inayat turned to look at the ladies  who were gossiping as they peeled the vegetables 
Don't you have any children in your neighborhood 
The  neighborhood is packed with children but their mothers won't  send them outside in this  summer afternoon,  
Then let us  sit down to drawing  pictures,  suggested another option  inayat 
Our we members of play group  scowled kabir,  you know inayat when I grow up I shall get married and have lots of kids a dozen or so 
What kind of  weird thoughts you think  , inayat spoke with a tinge of surprise,  dirty thoughts 
What is dirty about it, don't you want to  be surrounded by lots of cousins and have a good time together

The three selected were given  tests and training to obey the command,  they were to keep themselves devoid of emotions and  kill the target on order  or they were rejected,  they must not  ask why and how 
On the final day of their training their spouses were  hidden in  rooms and the  selected killers were sent in to kill their spouse
The first man refused  and became sentimental,  how could he,  but he was not to ask  hiw and why
The second man went in and some time later the couple emerged  emotional  and  tearful 
It was the turn of the woman  she went in with her pistol and  shots were heard , then screaming  followed by thumping and stamping and other strange  noises,  the woman emerged  wounded bleeding  , she explained the bullets were fake she had to kill him with a knife

....it was  his   another visit to the barber shop after two weeks,   it was  one of the most  famous barbershop in Toronto  , amazing and satisfying experience one  got of his haircut and  the atmosphere,  the smiling  beautiful attractive   Angela was polite 
Can you please play the music 
Of course why not 
She was  ready to start  stopped on his request of the change of the music,  now in the Canadian air-conditioned room  Canadian music  was playing,  he was overwhelmed and became nostalgic  remembering someone special  , what a  soulful  tune it was 
Unfortunately, who could be there at this time,  all the fun was  destroyed,  tge mobile  ringtone distracted his attention , wrong timing  phone calls were  maliciously disturbing 
Hearing the mobile  Angelina stopped again but he  commanded  her to go on working on him,  his neat tidy look was  obviously more important than answering the phone,  but  the fiddle music in the background kept him   engaged,  the mobile constantly  showed  numbers and  the fiddle music was  paused,  Angelina  stood aside  he had to pick up the phone 
Benjamin  you do know it how important the deal is for you,  it is hoped you shall not  disappoint  us

..the unmarried man knows more about women  or he would be married

A newly wedded couple smiles and every one knows why,  but a couple ten years married smiles and every one wonders why 
..

The moment  car turned towards johar town  the little girl  looked at it in sheer disbelief 
Mama  aren't we going to the hospital 
 She  shook her head helplessly, 
You lied to me,  you had said we were going to see baba 
Of course after the check up in the hospital  we are going to see baba 
Just the check up, no needles, rasil demonstrated   by pressing her right fist into the side of her left arm 
Dear you are so brave,  you aren't afraid of needles, she   tried to  encourage herself  instead of the  child 
Not so brave mama that you  so frequently  get the needles stick into me, rail s  voice  now sounded annoyed

I know it they are coming tomorrow,  the  rude progeny of our  rude progeny  Fernandez was  roaring  with suppressed anger 
Look dear, now that they have been invited  here  keep your  temper under tight control  reminded Gloria 
You remember that you have invited them not me 
, I don't care at all  whether they stay here or flee   from my intolerable attitude,  his tone  fantastically dry and rude 
Gloria put on her  glasses  and  got herself into  it, Fernandez was constantly grumbling  but she  totally ignored him , having lived  years with husband  she had got used to him and his  weird habits

So you won't tell anything  frankly  the man on the phone   was threatening,  perhaps you aren't aware of David sir and his  power  or you are playing a fool 
  Mustering courage  gafar daud said he wanted to speak directly to David sir 
The caller on the line  said whatever it was  gafar must  talk it out with him because  David sir was listening to the cellular conversation

The senior   pondered  , he could hear   raised voices  talking  in the background,  a woman's voice was excitedly  screaming    heavily 
Tge senior  expressed  his thoughts it seemed a domestic problem  , such matters get resolved  he must stay calm and not take stress 
Chachu it is a matter of concern and tension m it's a newly wedded couple,  the mother of the  bride is also present here,  her condition is pathetic,  nobody from inside is answering the phone  nor the  door is opening,  some  screaming of the girl can be heard

....in middle age   hard exercise   is quite tiring, but he had  learned to work out regularly i consistently  in less time  and developed a spectacular muscular physique,  but this time he emerged from his  home gym exhausted,  he realized it wasn't the workouts,  it was  mental  tiredness,  mental fatigue  makes one  dull and very tired, , this  mental   state was related to Imran junior,  his   young  nephew,  strong full of life carefree  yet  extremely sober and   incredibly  thoughtful  
he came to settle down  straight away in Lahore and spending his days and nights as he wished,  his main hobby was to be useful to others,  he enjoyed helping out otgers and solve  their problems,  but the senior  was suspecting   unexpected unseen  things fearing  something  unwanted  might happen to the junior,   something  like  a disaster  that could damage the life of the junior,  the senior simply wanted him to come back and be near him and around  familiar  people,  the more he tried to shake the worries off the more  solid  they became 
In  the evening the senior  was driving around in his  small car  exiting from his  cottage  to drive into the area junior lived , he had become  very popular within a few months in his neighborhood

....reaching home he reflected on the  matter  carefully,  he had already taken a step  if he backed off it was dangerous,   apparently he had  made someone  his secret partner  by sharing  his plans,  , he was somewhat frightened  and also  satisfied,  he decided  he would never  annoy  naghat again 
Next day again he met jahanzeb,  he began giving him instructions  to him , to reach that  level one needed  patience and  a ground,  jahanzeb was quite sarcastic 
Jabar was listening 
What an amazing  advice dada gave,  telling  Jabar nit to annoy his wife   , to live peacefully and respect her , to take her along with him to friends  places and  to hotels  if Jabar wanted to lead a happy married life,  at least he could give it a try fir some time in the beginning 
Jabar promised he would follow the advice 
Naghat was so happy poor woman  that her husband was  reforming  and ready to rectify his mistakes,  what she didn't know was it  was for  himself  he had readily accepted to change his strategy 
For a few days Jabar did everything right

...the reality was so that all of a sudden  Jabar s heart was broken  when  unexpectedly Zarin refused to get married to him ,  the manner in she behaved with him and the way he treated her it was  absolutely certain they couldn't   reject each other,  both were overwhelmingly  sincere and  friendly,  because of their close  warm relationship he had  mastered  courage to propose to her  hoping sge would quickly accept  it
Zarin not just refused to marry him  but she got immensely annoyed at the proposal 
Jabar was  though already married ten years  but he and naghat were  incompatible like two opposite sides of a river,  together they exist but  remain  separate,  with  passing time  their hatred and bitterness for each other  kept on increasing 
They never liked each other  this is what he believed not naghat,   she had always tried to save her marriage  she  was a good caretaker homemaker and  a wife but he just didn't want her  simply because he didn't find her attractive,  she wasn't young any more,  her figure  was out of shape,  Zarin was an intelligent woman  and quite understanding  but the more intelligent she was the more boring he found her,  he just wouldn't appreciate her skills  and   never admired her virtues

Loafers don't have responsibilities and nor do they carry children and families with them,  he will be happy here  left behind with his father,  we need freedom,  we need each other,  he won't fit in anywhere  in New life  with us,   it took   a rush  just ten days to bring Walter and Adam s life to  ruins
One night  Linda  silently on the quiet  packed up her things  and left with him,  with her also was  Walter's  cash,  it was a huge amount,  Walter was left mad with rage,  he left Adam with trusted  known contact and Walter  started  his chase to find Linda

There is a ditch here you idiot 
Liar, how can there be  a ditch here,  don't we cross this  place everyday,  but he stopped and   approached him 
See it for yourself,  David was breathlessly panting 
Donald  followed  his direction and began to look  and really there was a pit in which  David  got his foot  twisted and fell 
It was a freshly dug pit , the soil was still   fresh and smelled  of  wet  mud , he too sat down beside his brother
