biisat

... sayyad sahib picked up the wazir and  put it before the badshah  and declared it was checkmate
Mushtaq sahib  inspected the chessbiard pieces  thoroughly  , the  escape route was completely blocked  , pondering thoughtfully on every possible move he finally accepted defeat, it was their second game, the first game was won by mushtaq, second was  sayyad s 
Now the sunlight was crossing  the  space around them, the tin shed was getting  heated up and it became  difficult to breathe properly in that heat, this shed was built two years ago for  shazya s potted plants , in the middle sayyad sahib had put a wooden cot and a quick makeshift sitting arrangement for him was created, though shazya did nit like the idea of him spending all his free time amidst her potted garden under the  tin shed, she took revenge and stole his mobile sim , sayyad sahib called his servant who was putting laundry into the machine  in the yard, he could not hear his roar, helpless as he was sayyad sahib was forced to walk out from the shed to the stairs, this time  he added choicest of dirtuest abuses as starters and calked the servant again

...he nervously looked around  but there was not a soul around , as far as he could see the road was vacant , he turned to see another clean patch of  isolated road , ruby escalated the speed of the four wheel
Who can it be he demanded   whispering 
The same oldie who else or someone like him definitely  ruby chewed on her words, he was startled  just for a moment  but the next moment he rejected the idea completely , logically not possible, why would he  start firing on us when we were going back
No ruby its not possible  he spoke confidently 
Then it must be ghosts and spirits firing on us she expressed herself irritably
He turned to look back  he could not understand the reason and purpose of this firing

..hello sabiha  spoke  ambar
When did you come back from the village asked sabiha
Yes dear  i am back just a couple of days ago  , where have you disappeared  complained sabiha
Nowhere , just home   , same daily domestic routine to follow  , you tell me all about your village tour experience, both got to share their thoughts and even got ready to go out shopping together
Both sabiha and ambar were close friends and cousins , as luck would have it both were married into the same family  and they remained good friends even after their marriages
Next day when saba reached  ambar s place to go out shopping the door was opened by a ten year old , saba was taken aback by sheer surprise, the boy  had the look of a villager

...he was woken up by the morning alarm, he quickly took a shower,  briskly shaved  swiftly dressed up, he felt whatever he was thinking jaqulin had the same thoughts on her mind
Putting on his ciat he looked into her eyes and asked  do people of this house also go to work
Certainly eddie , they are all humans after all like us who need to go to work
For example what kind of work he asked showing deep interest
Perhaps they painted ceremaic pottery she explained
They peeped inside mr richards room 
No sound was heard from the cotton quilt, morning sun shone bright from the window outside, a vehicle passed on the road 
Eddie reached out to remive the cover from the cage, the toy house if mr ricgard stood  there in complete silence, one window currain was raised up , the other curtains were down , he drew himself cliser to the cage  to have a better look insude the cage through the metal frame, curtains flapoed  inside the rooms  with the blowing winds, suddenly a dangerous eye looked back at him from within
