 ..sahir ali  felt  pain pangs shooting up in his body, , he had regained consciousness and opened his eyes very slowly bit by bit  looking around, he was in a hospital  room, , on his left side of the bed towards his pillow was a  screen showing  lines  going up and down , his face was swollen , he was breathing through the oxygen mask on his face, for a few moments he could not understand his situation , but as he  recalled his  memory the death wish became intense , he desparately prayed to god at that moment to end his life tgere and then 

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


Meantime the fallen debris on the road was remived the blickage was cleared up, shaban ali drove forward , the windiws of the car were black , nearing  the spot  salman looked out through tge dark glass there stood a man gkaring back

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

 .. on the other hand manu was completely  disheartened,  it was unbelievable someone actually had rejected her

Both were on the terrace  to exchange their notes , the air was not cold  but quite pleasant , both of them were seated in chairs arranged there under the shade , between   them was  a small table  placed on it was eateries to remive their unhappiness , chips momos and doughnuts , they had not eaten the night before  their dinner , this was their helpline to stay alive 

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

It was manu  who always  depletes the battery down , she was extremely annoyed at her daughter

Ringing up her husband beghum maliha instructed to get  snacks from the market, manu was scolded to quickly appear in her  proper condition  and she herself  entered the drawingroom

 ...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

Dedh ser huma urdu digest

 ...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

 ...that was a dark ominous night , sherya was trying hard to sleep unsuccessfully , a heavy weight wiman entered the room , she announced   the emperor was arriving and looked at the young girl pitifully , sherya remained unmoved , the maid looked surprised at her reaction  of no panuc 

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
