page 17

....Mrs waqar sat leaning her back on the couch,  with her left hand sge turned on  and off the table lamp, a black  pencil held in her right hand   she drew  lines on a  piece of paper  , the lap top screen shone  before her near the lamp..yours faithfully 
Shaheer Salman 
 Two options  gleamed  of reject or accept 
On her face  a minute tear drop rolled down  , sighing heavily she pressed the reject button   before  leaning back on the couch,  she had finally shut the table lamp off , a procession of   bitter memories   began sawing her peace of mind,  in her  unhappy mind  rose the image of shaheer Salman,  his  eyes, his high forehead  his high cheekbones,  well groomed bearded  and neat moustaches , his  shoulders ,  broad chest ,  his manly  swagger,  majestic like Alexander the great,  his manner so  courteous    that impressed  everyone,  in Mrs waqar  s study room    it was complete darkness  and  the memories were not illuminating  but  looming 
.
.are you ready  asked alya emerging from the washroom 
Yes, let's go, what time is the class  she spoke  hanging her bag on her shoulder 
What do you mean,  aren't you getting ready  surprised  Alta looked at her appearance from her head to toe 
But this is how I get ready  
No way , like this  wrapped up in a sheet,  get dressed properly  trendy
