sannaton ka rajmahal--

she was sitting up ready alone in the room, the absolute silence around prevailed, she lifted her hand to brush her tresses falling on her forehead, the bangles on her arm made a clinking noisy musical note, cutting the thickness of silence, she turned to look at the wall clock that showed the time was eleven almost mid day, in her own parental home the day was the same, the time also same, there must be the same cheerfulness , her two brothers, fahad and asad, her two sisters sadya and nazli, her father must have returned from offering his eid namaz, all would be the same except her presence, her mother must be serving them all sheir khorma, over the table fahad who hated dry nuts in the sheirkhorma must be arguing why they were added , asad who loved his sheirkhorma would be challenging him , why eat sheirkhorma at all if dry fruit is not added so wholesomely, her sisters must be happy wearing new clothes of their choice, a smile came to samya's lips
