...children loved him too , he was always surrounded with them , several girls looked at him admiringly, i had mixed feelings for the two brothers, i had taught them in classes, i found them quite likeable and attractive, , they were quite sensitive, specially tristan  was most adorable , but the crime that they had committed was unpardonable

Tristan sighed, the police officer looked at me and pressed the button on the door, two nurses rushed in, within minutes his bed was surrounded with technicians and nurses,  tristan lay there with his eyes shut, he opened his eyes fluttering and glanced about the room  as if searching for something , he spoke  in a heavy  and hard raspy voice surprising everyone  , for he had not spoken for over a week at all, , he asked for a lawyer and then shut his eyes back  again

Kevin  i thought looked more aged than before, he still had an attractive appearance, he had not shaven for a day, brown eyes brown hair  with touches of white , looking at me his eyebrows shot up happily surprised, miss its you

...sorrows in the present evoke  memories of the psst

Life waill pass like an accidental happening

.

Dont call me back from any point in time  dear

life will settle down by itself on this point

.

The world watches carefully your unhappy face

Nobody looks at my situation any more

.

Your suggestion of discarding faithfulness 

Life is not just a night that casually was passed

.

.if your constant chain of memories broke

Life will slip off from my sight that i behold

.

Wasim keeps going in this one hope

Perhaps some day we will cross each others paths once more

..amma , tea container is emoty,  get more tea leaves, the moment hamida beghum had stepped into the kitchen elder bahu had informed her in complaining mode, holding the empty container she approached her mother in law

Gosh, what are you saying, this month three tea packets were  included in the groceries , month is not over and all the tea packets are finished, both of  you  have  nothing better to do than drink tea all the time, seeing the empty tea box hamida beghum flared up quickly

Amma , you are speaking as if  only we two bahus drink tea ,  by the grace of god ours is a large wholesome joint family, elders and youngers both are fond of having tea frequently,  but the blame is shifted only on us women , banging the empty box back on the shelf  she moaned 

It was the senior woman s experienced  trick if anything went wrong  against her wishes she shifted the weight of  all the blame on her bahus accusing them for doing it wrong

All right then, if we are so much problem we give up drinking tea, what else has this household to offer us except a simple cup of tea , that  pleasure also we give up for your sake
