....who  are you  , come forward or I shoot, sge screamed at once,  her tone filled with rage and also  annoyance,  he quickly thought of something  and stretching his hands up 8n the air  emerged  to stand  before her 

Who are you sge fumed looking at him furious, her  black eyes shone with ruthless  mirth and surprise 

He faltered  pleading  not to be  shot down,  he invented  an excuse  he was a lost traveler,  he was hiding  because he was scared of that crocodile, he faked a scary  look 

Why didn't you  save my partner 

 She was very intently  watching him , she came four steps closer to him  , her rifle was pointed towards him 

I just told you I was frightened,  he  spoke falsely  trying to sound  truthful  , I had never before seen a crocodile that size 

Are you alone 

Yes

What's your name 

Pritam

 He answered  untruthfully

Get out from the boat and get lost quickly 

 You are a coward

...exiting the airport  heart of saharsh started  thumping  fast , as if using all it's strength to pump  up,  it was impossible to control  her heart,  apparently she sat peacefully   in the back seat  but she was disturbed  mentally,  the driver was driving  in silence,  the glasses of the windows were closed and no sound  was heard from outside,   the scenes  were  changing  quickly before her sight,  for the first time  she felt her heart wasn't hers anymore,  it all happened  all of a sudden,  three days ago  this was the way  , the company driver drove her to the airport,  she was confident to get many  business deals  abroad for her company  , then she wasn't aware  on her return she won't be her natural self 

 Three days ago she was sent to Dubai  to sttend  a business meeting    , , she held  an  important position in the marketing section  , amazing Ahmed also was present in this meeting,  she had only heard of him a lot in the  business community but seeing him for the first time,  he turned out to be a  quite  a handsome person,  all of them were accommodated in the same hotel,  all the  members  were freely  mixing with each other discussing  business matters 

On her return  she met him at the airport  in the lounge,  faces were familiar now  , he stood up smiling,   unwillingly  she  walked towards him

Which room is she in

First room on the right your excellency 

Aster took off his gloves ahat and handed them to the maid

Exactly then  the door of the first room on the right opened

....meal was over , he gathered the empty dishes,  shut the kitchen door,  passing  from  abba jan  s room  door he heard him coughing,  perhaps he was still awake,  abba jan  he softly called gently knocking on the door 

Wali come on in 

He stepped inside,   you aren't asleep,  are you well  he asked worriedly 

Yes  I am well  did you speak to the munshi

Yes , today I spoke with him  some customers are interested  but  they are not giving full amount 

I want to sell the piece of land  as soon as possible  to use the amount  to buy chaudhary ashfaq s  house,  it's a nice place  his tone was  stressful 

Don't you worry abba ,  selling   the land will fetch  enough to buy that house,  I have spoken to his secretary  , for the time being  chaudhary is in the uk  to see his son,  we are ready  to pay him the advance token money on his return  and God willing  the rest of it will also be arranged

...his income wasn't much but  because he was single  free from  family responsibilities  life was good,  he spent more than seventy thousand  within  minutes  to show off , Latifah was to have a wonderful  month  and he was to drag  on, if only he wasn't reckless , who was that woman,  was it really important to know anything about her,  what if he would have   found  out all about her  , what  use that information would be  to anyone else  and him 

 Reckless curiosity is born  like  unwanted love , love doesn't let one lead his life  properly,  curiosity also keeps  one  restless 

His mind was completely obsessed by that unholy  idea  and all night  he found himself  thinking only of  her

He had he   carefully pondered over this new point  not leaving any  point  untouched,  his doubts were  becoming stronger about sakya  because  he knew  Rashid s wife was rather  fat and heavy

... he enjoys the nights,   because nights are enjoyable,  he usually tells him friends  there is no substitute to  nighttime , dark silence  moonlight highlights  the the moon and  dimly shimmering  distant stars , dozing sleepy trees  vacant streets,  empty roads,  drowsy  homes  and all remains undisturbed by the rail passing  somewhere along   sonorous whistling snoringly , rhythm of iron wheels  grinding the metalic tracks,  besides all this  somewhere else  nearby or in distance  vehicles  noisily   growling  engines grilling   sounds so enjoyable only at night  but the same  sounds  give tension during the daytime,  perhaps  nighttime is the special time to find beauty in life and surroundings,  unimaginable  creative ideas crop up at night mind becomes clear and sees life from different new angles  that you can never  think of during stressful daytime,  unbelievable but true people  find themselves buried under  heavy work during the daytime  but nighttime has wonderful    experiences to offer  they are not aware of,  such sights  unfold during the charasnatic nighttime  and very few care to observe them  , many people  die without knowing it that all the troubles of life they have worked on during daytime  had their antidotes  in the peaceful atmosphere of nighttime

He wasn't satisfied with life,  it was a hand to mouth   life  fir him and his family,  there was no scope of progress,  he wanted  better and financially more successful lifestyle but frugal salary was strangulating hus dreams and desires,  he also noticed  the conditions  worse than his of people around  , he would  gratefully  accept his  small salaried job that was providing him and his family  his daily food,  fifteen years later he happened to meet javed,  javed had a most turbulent life  full of challenges  and now was back , he gad given up his higher studies  in the city , to earn money he had become a salesman  and  remained a petty part time worker  all these years

....sultanpur was  situated in  the northern  hilly area of the country,   slopes were entirely covered with evergreen  trees  presenting a most  wonderful sight,  hotel mountain view stood by the  road  in this hilly terrai,  the hotel was surrounded   with trees ànd cosily nestled amidst natural forests  giving   a comfortable boarding lodging  to the passing  travelers 

Right next to the hotel was a narrow lane  leading to the city some two hundred miles away  ending  in the valley  on the disappearing hilltops,  because  it was not easily accessible  the natives gad moved out to live in the city 

Sultan pur consisted  of  valleys  full of life  a compact market  a few hotels,  mobile network was good

That afternoon  most of the mountain view hotel  tables were  vacant,  an elderly man at the reception was dozing,  a few customers occupied a couple of tables,  the air was filled with cigarette smoke and  soft whispers

....I have a daughter  I want  her to get married  and settle down   before my life ends,  nobody is more suitable than you,  he explained 

  He has never before seen roshni in this  light , in fact he couldn't even remember her face  how did she look  

  This is a statement of your decency  chacha said  because I know you so well I brought my daughter with me,  he gestured to wasif  who stood up to walk towards the inner rooms  as the chosen groom waited 

Few minutes later wasif  entered the drawing room with a rather tall and dark girl,  the ordinary looking girl had nothing  in her personality to draw attention  specially of any man 

Come on inside  chacha spoke inviting wasif and the girl 

The groom was selected  he tried to  decline the proposal  but  chacha was a shrewd man of the world and waved off his  refual saying it was sharia law, chacha left with wasif leaving the two  alone together in the drawing room 

He for the first time lifted his eyes to look at the girl 

She was  certainly dark but very attractive,  her big etes were beautiful and prominent 

Say something he started  the conversation 

She was playing with the hem  of her dupatta  her etes lowered 

What about, sge looked up

Anything  about yourself or as something about me  any doubts about future  Anything  his voice was very low

I know so much about you  that even you don't know about yourself

Dada kept on changing parties during every election,  father was totally different from grandfather and was a loyalist to hus party , he was pressed to change his loyalty but he knew better  his own father wasn't respected  for  his  not staying  with one party , father  was ashamed of grandfather for losing credibility,  father was labeled  the son of  unstable  container 

Dada  s argument was he joined the ruling parties because he wanted to serve  the people,   power was priority 

Father's  priority was   the working people   who were the real wealth  of the nation, to distribute a small percentage  amongst them

Malik sahib had already noticed   it and the constable confirmed it,  he had himself  dragged them to the police station,  Rashid on his way to the police station  witnessed the brawl and  brought them  with him m he intervened  and the villagers helped him  ,  much damage was done  to both,

He got down from the roof top of the super store and entered the store,  there wasn't much rush inside the store,  suddenly a cashier happened to glance at the horrifying figure entering the store,  the poor cashier froze terrified,  the woman  at the counter  making bills standing before him followed his gaze  , scared  to death she began screaming,  hearing her screaming  others  were drawn to look in her direction  and were lead to  see the  horrifying presence  of unidentifiable figure,  every one was stunned and  hysterical  running to exit  from where  Joshua type creatures were  pouring into the store

my story

morning tea

Morning  tea with cyber  I sit watching  outdoors,  I saw someone  throwing  biscuits to my labrador in the patio,  I quickly put my empty cup down  on the small tray and rushed to confront the culprit who was an elderly man  scattering grain to the chirpy birds on the entry wall of tbe society lawn on the other side of the parked cars , I folded my hands in polite namaste,  introducing myself as resident  jyotsna Pathania single aging live alone , I asked him his name and failed to catch it, he argued marie biscuits  are not sweet enough he had three Rottweilers he knew better,  he noticed my dog always sitting there by the gate so he pitied him, I explained he is waiting for someone to walk him

routine

My routine  is watching the world go by  , the view from my  lobby  shows me  people walking  on the street  , bikers  noisily  driving past, scooters, three wheelers, cars of every unimaginable shape and size  silently  at great speed  whizzing past, for a few  consecutive days  an electric  slim vehicle  new upgrade version of three wheeler constantly  would stop at my gate , nobody was seen getting in nobody got out,  one evening  I was watering my potted plants  and this electric vehicle stopped and the driver walked out to  reach  a neighbor   several houses away,  I was still busy pruning when he came back  to noiselesly drive away,  I asked what were his charges,  he was a supplier  didn't take passengers 

A few days later I ordered home delivery fruit from a shop and this electric vehicle delivered me the fruit  , there are mostly two options of payment  , online or cash on delivery,  online again is prepaid or post paid

I handed him the cash  , for the fruit  and for balance he was short of money  , he had bigger denominations  

Two months  passed  again  I was busy in my potted garden  the electric carrier stopped the man  made eye contact  , graciously he offered me his telephone number  , he dictated it as I keep my mobile on me I obediently punched his number  gratefully,  he didn't return my leftover balance  but it was good to see another familiar stranger  again

...Andrew and Sophia were dropped before Sophia's flat , she quickly  climbed up the stairs,  he was with her,  Andrew was trying to tell her something but sge gestured him to remain silent,  reaching her flat sge checked all rooms  and picking up one bag sge carried it to her bedroom 

    Will you explain where have you been  and what's going on,  I thought you were  seeing  Harry,  even your parents didn't know of your  activities  and where is Harry,  he hasn't been to his apartment for two years  and what's the  army connection with all, this,  Andrew   shot a round of   questions 

   First of all  promise  me you will keep it secret , she spoke  unzipping the bag , she was now packing up her cameras and other recording equipment 

  What are you doing,  why don't you explain Andrew plucked a camera from her hands 

   Alright then listen carefully,  our government is working on a special mutant gene formula  , the experiment went wrong,  the vaccine  was given to the army   and it is gone out of control  now antidote  to it is   being  researched,  she explained  briefly 

   Oh so the situation is quite dangerous and impossible,  why aren't they  all killed,  where are you taking this bag of equipment,  he was irritated by her noisy hustle  

  They can't be killed  because  weapons are not working on them  and I am not going alone you are coming along

... eyes of the  s h o were shut,  cigarette   pressed between lips and legs stretched out,  his fingers of both hands tapping  on the table,  his chair  was pushed a bit backwards to accommodate his paunch,  there was a bottle without label under the table,  a wine glass resting next to the unlabeled  drink,  the bottle contained  red liquid half filled,  perhaps  it was honey,  because it was a police station it was certainly honey and nothing else 

Suddenly the phone bell rang shrilly  in a parrot  s sound,  the attitude  of fun from the  s h o jamshed s style  quickly changed,  that  air and mood of fun was the result of the honey and  nothing to do in office,  constantly shrieking phone  was disturbing,  scowls appeared on his face,  cigarette was crushed into the ashtray,  he glared at the  noisy phone  and a few undesirable undescribable words escaped from his lips,  modify swinging his hand he picked up the phone,   within one minute tge he shut down the call,  he was stripped of his  enjoyment and the fun mood , he was  blabbering 

He called out roughly   hey you  chaprassi sitting there outside 

Yes sir,  the peon stood before him 

Where is inspector shakil

In his room 

Send him here

A few minutes later  shakil was there  

Who is Ronald

Are you aware that she entered the  industry through someone in the underworld 

Everyone knows that 

Actually now it is important for every female worker in this industry to keep  a weapon to protect herself,  you too ought to,  I think  maybe many others are armed  , 

You are saying that because of kamran  got murdered 

Right,  these days  self defense is the only safest security factor,  shoiba has personal contacts in the underworld,  that is certain,  probably shoiba herself has  illegal weapons on her unlawfully , , you can ask her to provide you with one unlicensed revolver,  don't worry about its price at all because I shall pay  for it 

As you please 

When you receive the revolver I will be present,  you will introduce me to that person    , give my fake identity,  I shall  appear  with a face mask  , he won't know me as shaima

I am leaving anyway

Yes of course that's why I will never like to see you   embracing  unknown male strangers,  or getting close to men and cling and dance or tolerate  the makeup man  touch you,  will you let others come close to you  will you like that  and remember it I have seen many a heroines  packing up after just one film, all the girls are dumped and forgotten forever  nobody cares  , you aren't just my wife but also a descendent  of a cultured family,  you are definitely decent and nice,  you are expected to retain the respect and reputation of us all

First of all I have to tell atrat something  but what 

Just tell him  husna wants to marry him,  too cool, how easily you have said that,  atrat is a  man with  a solid background,  he won't even notice  us

Why not 

In good families  girls are disciplined  unlike you they will never speak up their mind  specially  about their choice of groom 

I think he is a decent cultured man so I will  go with him,  let's see what happens 

Alright as you please 

Alamara spoke to her husband  ,  he replied  ask your sister  she will jump up three foot high 

But why 

Because both are not equals,  age wise  shah Murad is  quite old and   his looks are may God bless his soul 

But it's his decency,   that day the poor man didn't even  glance once  at any woman 

Definitely  his decency is unsurpassed

...shah Murad  and husn Ara were branded odd couple,  both  were   nit equal  nit compatible  not  made for each other,  husn Ara was exceptionally beautiful  and shah Murad  exactly  opposite  of what good looking means,  she was well dressed well groomed  and  properly presentable  , he was uncaring of his appearance,  she believed   their wealth and status  influenced others,  his belief was their brains intellect and qualities  attracted others,  sge was liberal  he was conservative  therefore  both  were  absolutely different from each other in all aspects,   yet they were life partners and  parents of four,  though  their thinking and vision  were not same 

Shah Murad was a highly educated  and aristocratic person  most courteous and decent,  find of movies from his childhood,  his father was a strict man,  he tried to stop him from   going into that line of glamor,  he would  even  physically  slap and box his ears, shah Murad rebelled and reached  the city of movies  and  sighed , he began doing small petty jobs,  he then turned his attention towards the directors m hardwork and his intelligence   made him a director  , his luck was  with him  , his first movie  became a super hit,   movies for his direction  started pouring in  , in a few years ge was an established famous director  sought-after and rich

Depressing  frightening  dusky evenings  were like  hooded reptiles ready to  attack,  posing dangers but quietly rolled up , these evenings  were  heavily  etched on her mind  as scary,  sge couldn't remember if she had ever  laughed out openly  after that 

Who is going with me,  husnara was asking vaguely looking at the four of them,  shah Murad  cursed his fate and showed  annoyance on her ugliness,  he rebelled by screaming and shouting,  husnara decided to leave him home alone and go out by herself

So what  the colonel also looks ugly  laughed  Bob 

But he is a confident man  but just by this one  gesture he can easily stand out in a crowd 

You really mean he is a confident  fraud   he us a confidence trickster  and ribbed someone  of his  diamonds worth billions asked Elia

...this is the world of internet  spoke Irfan,  whatever amount I have  earned you can easily  check it out in  the royal courts  of Google  the emperor of internet if I am wrong   you may behead  the culprit  in me 

I don't doubt your intentions  sir, replied  ejaz quickly  I have already checked  out everything before  reaching here 

Irfan asked then what is troubling you,  your fees is nit too high  three thousand  Durham  equals to simply  ninety thousand rupees 

Your  calculations are absolutely correct  Irfan  explained  slightly shaking his head,  when foreign currency is exchanged to local  rupees  it becomes a huge amount in pkr, right now  Durham is  defined  but just imagine  instead of Durham  dollars  euros and crypto currency  are involved

....after  a long  time he was putting his foot on the ground of his motherland,  so many  changes  had taken place   on illuminations,  it was a city of lights,  eight years is a long time,  unfortunately he had spent these eight years in a jail in emirates,   though he was absolutely innocent and nit guilty 

When ejaz was sent to prison he was thirty,  now he was thirty eight,  but he looked fifty,  prison life had  completely broken him down physically  mentally  and  in spirit too, his positivity and spirituality were negatively affected  ,  it was Irfan siddiqui  was behind  all this happening 

Thinking of  Irfan  his throat  choked on something bitter , he was  virtually   set on fire of hatred  his mind  sent sparks of  revenge,  he would never forgive him  never,  how could he after all  Irfan was the person  who stole his vest time of life from him , his precious youth  , it was a  devilishly  dishonest  trap

 He quickly controlled himself m this wasn't the right moment ejaz to  become furious,   he thought to himself , he must  keep his mind and  emotions   in restraint,  to  teach  Irfan a lesson he must  be patient  so that  Irfan will never again break anyone's trust by fraud and learn and remember the lesson to the end of his life
