But observing he was  conscious the doctor broke into genuine smikes, seeing him he realized the life of shame would drown him

Sahir ali was in his early sixties , good looking pleasant person , his beghum was equally good and amiable , old  timers were mistly simple plain people,  they always got along with their life partners  acceptance  readily came , he too had accepted his cicumstances  though he had wished for someone ekse  more beautiful and attractive

Wrong number huma urdu digest

 Wrong number huma urdu digest

 .., one day he  started driving towards his friend s son s wedding , on the turn he was stopped by two policemen on the bike,  he lowered his window , they asked him  the location of sheikh ramzan, the narrator knew sheikh ramzan  lived in his street , he pointed backwards from where he had emerged, but curiousity  made him ask why they wanted  him,  because the man lived all alone and was a very peace loving person, barely sicialized  and spoke  rarely , 


The bike driver was a constable and his back passenger a sub inspector, they could not  have found the end of the row house in the street without his help, 


There was a complaint made by a woman  on telephone , who gave the number address and the name of the man who was harrassing her


Strange the narrator thought because the sheikh lived alone

Hena spoke sharply , i have just seen that man there , its so  bothrring me 

He tiredly asked what was wrong in that , first thing is nobody can see us  besudes not every person around can be an enemy


Nervously she muttered that man was special  close to ahned  he knows us well and  there must be a reason he is here


Salman looked in the direction she had gestured near the blockage he ciuld not see him, perhaps he merged well into the gathered crowd

He tried to  encourage her  morale but it did not boost her spirits at all

Ahmed cant hurt us he finally spoke judgementally perhaps his close assiciate was there by chance 

Hena expressed she was feeling relaxed and happy being there but now it was impossible to relax it was tensing her nerves, tge rascal s presence had stolen her  moments of joy

Gili ankhein

 ...my eyes are tearful

My heart heavy with sorrow

My dreams are  unfulfilled ellussive

My own abandoned 

My heart depths of pain

Your  separation is  real

Desire of your presence 

your smiles and frowns 

Signs of love  show 

Dusk of life has come

Tired gone to sleep 

All poetic moments end


Page 57 huma urdu digest

 ..blossoms    earn love attention to bloom

Some earn respect  attention  to survive

Lovingly  several  speak of their love for attention

Integrity is real love ,make it happen

Nobody listens what others care about 

Make them understand  

Engrossed always in the pleasures  

Give up  your world for others

Heroes appear in dramas and bring so much  positive energy with their performance, but poor girls had not any villain also around their reason for being miserable , picking up momos to her mouth spoke manu scowling

This is real life not a drama  , entry of a dashing goodlooking hero  was not possible in real life situations  ramin was  eating her unhappiness could not stop her from stuffing her mouth with momos , how delicious the momos were ,

On sunday they are going  somewhere , they rang me up explained kishor  that they were reaching now 

You ought to have called  me up  at least i could have rearranged my  household cindition and  appeared more presentable 

Of course i made so many calls all attempts failed , your phone was shut  off

 ...jibran had no problem in getting inside the quarters, he was an old player of his game , he could unlock any type of locks merely with a ladies hairpin  within seconds , using his skills he had entered that quarter , in fact he had locked the locks  too , so whever the residents would return home they wont find any difference   in the licks , as he hid waiting inside for them 

For the past one year there was a visible spike in the local robbery landscape 

The cases were quoted as  salary snatching in isolated spots near the banks , , these incidents  firced jibran to think that he was also one of the underworld robber but why only bank clients were selectively targetted

 ...the three of them had met inside the prison  cell, they had become good friends , they shared  common  , they were all victims of injustice and revenge , they were all sent to prison for similar criminal acts , they personally believed  they were innocent and  accused for crimes they did not commit , society was wrong  in understanding them , each of them had a story  why he turned to crime ,  hurt people hurt others, society  was not supportive when they were harmed 

Nable was not a real electrician but he  could make himself useful  in several ways 

Zahir was unemplyed and absolutely loafer, he belonged nowhere, not invited not acceptable anywhere, he was a useless pawn on the life board of chess

Story of parvez was rather different from nabel s and zahir s , he had no proof of his innocence and sent  to jail, he had suppressed rage to avenge them

 ...they were rovbers who did not rob the banks but the clients of the banks, outside the banjs , very cleverly in a refined sophisticated manner, they  always had extraordinary schemes  that the  victim helplessly  became their prey, , these financial  predators  always emerged victorious 

The three of them were working together as a team , selecting a bank  that would be overcrowded, because in peak rush hours on mondays everyone  focused only on getting his own thing done , the pending work after saturday sunday weekends  was a nice  playground full of  busy  people  nobody bothered to pay attention to what was happening around, , it was healthy atmosphere for their execution of their dishonest schemes, token system provided  enough spare time  to clients to stsy away from the counters

Chengez khan stepoed into the camp at that moment , the maid retraced her steps , he sat down on the cot meant for sherya , it was decorated 

We have decuded to honour your beauty  smiled he maliciously at her

She  spat hatefully  

Did you fail to hear me he demanded  his voice carried the heat of rage 

I heard you , you miserable cruel man , i dont answer to men  such as you, you are idious , ending her sentence quickly she spat turning away 

It came as a startle because nobody dare speak to him like this flippantly, it was gard to swallow his wounded pride , because she was helpless and  left at her mercy , she could be beheaded at his  slight  gesture

Your mental balance is  disturbed but your beauty is an attraction  , you are forgiven 

You liar, killer  how can you forgive anyone , to defy you is a crime  but your men have killed harmless innocent silent people , they were as innocent as me who were sleepung in their village  camps  satusfued with life

Girl, we are aware of it  you hate cruelty but lands belong to the powerful, the weak have no right to life

 ... it was an ordinary two storey buiding of a house ,  the outside walls were draped in pink flowering climbers, the wall  profusely  civered with flowers and green foluage  stood by a blue gate , the gate lead to the stairs on the right , there was a  small space near the stairs  where potted flowering plants were arranged carefully  but looked sickly because they were kept dry 

By the neatly kept rows of potted plants  was a wooden door that opened into a  medium sized lounge , sofas and  dining table were  set amidst  untidy chaos 

The simple plain reason of untidiness was the domestic maid did not turn up to clean up the mess for two days

The door on the right was wide open , the room  had  built in cupboards , a single bed on a side with a dressing table next to it , a two seater sofa ,  some one dozen pictyres  pasted on the wall behind the dressing table , the room belonged to manti alias manu , pictures  showing him in his infancy to childhood to teenage to youth  , that implied  the latest  stage of his life was here in his youth

 ....tolerating harrassment is supporting the tirmentor

Silence is acceptance

During   the era of yore the chinese courts  allowed  nomadic tribes to  inhabit their lands, though these tribes main livelihood was robbery  and   other petty crimes, every tribe owned a separste area ,  their life depended entirely on their  beasts , they rode them everywhere , consumed their milk and meat , from the dead beasts ropes from their hair were braided  for tents and  other uses, from their dead skins leather garments were made, shoes and   wraps , bones were  made into  tools and weapons , the fat of the beast was used as a body massage to give them energy 

Milk was preserved fermented  in leather bags  for later use for children  as tonic , trade was centered around the beasts and all the fights for domain and dominance  were woven around them

 Its not probable imran would prove wise all the time 

But there was no other option besides

Instead of choosing to come here we could have followed  them , i wonder where is the steamer gone 

Hopefully it should be within our transmeter  radius, very soon we must be able to get connected to it, though it seems impossible for now

 ...i dont understand  sakina why for farhat you are looking for a suitable match outside your house when the real  groom is present in the family clan , having already what you want and searching elsewhere for it is truly stupid

Nasrin had a fertile imaginative  active mind that produced suggestions with examples for others whether they needed or not was absolutely another matter

Sitting beside sakina her sister in law she quickly explained her practical point of view

What do you mean by looking for a match here and there, when girls become marriageable one has to ask others around to find someone  suitably decent match  and who is this hidden treasure you speak of,  sakina was not sharp and aggressive like her elder sister in law, their husbands were brothers, she was rather meek and simple , therefore she had to  be  explained in detail the simple plain thing also 

Farhat  her daughter was  getting over age  sakina was stressed and worried , she became frantic  hunter  for a groom for her daughter by speaking to everyone she met to find a groom

He laughed  out loud a cruel laugh , the staff maid passing by was startled and turned to stare at them  and then  walked tiwards the clay oven where  flat bread rotis were being prepared

Salha like a lost soul spoke   what are you suggesting is not the solution to my problems at all , it can never be , this marriage will have the same result as the previous one , marriage is for only the complete person , i am broken  shattered , i am not whole emotionally anymore

No woman accepts divided husband , she would run away even before hayat did

Fazal looked pitiably at him  and sighed  , its not certain every time it will happen the same way , i never gave my consent for your first marriage, because you and haya were very young and naive then,

Akhri safar

 When  it was time to get rid of her husband nikole started  looking for answers online like she would buy a pet  for  herself, it was not really a big task but it was not easy either, she despararely scanned sites for the person she needed, naturally finding a killer  and getting his services is a very delicate matter, more delicate than keeping a personal shopper

First of all getting her husband killed was unlawful , for such unlawful criminal activities caution and secrecy was imperative  even when using the dark web to advertise  it , she had read about the dark web on elin s paperback book  when he was gone for his medical check up , she was there waiting for him in the car , elin was always frantic  worried  about his health , a casual sneeze would make him scared , he would rush to see a doctor  imagining serious problems like cancer or brain tumour to return to tell nikole the doctor says it was just seasonal , nikole lost all hope of his being dead  of any  disease

Tanhaìi

 ...deep was the  sorrow of isolation

I was river  river river  alone

Unable to control singke tide

I played with the deadly storms

Tiny iota of isolation

That stuck along 

Left was i alone by friends and known

Only loneliness accompanied

Dried up the brancges of happiness

Blossomed sorrow  s bloom

Prayers filled  isolation complete

Fear of gid alone existed

Surrendering my soul to the ultimate

It was river of  absolute patience

Defeated was isolation

Transformed was isolation to blessing

Divine settled inside my heart

That i was looking fir outside

That loneliness was my paradise

I am  alone absolutely alone
