once  zeba  bhabi  was   triggered  off  her   talking became  never  ending, she   began  telling  rather  in a  upset  manner  to  her   only  friend  shamim ara  tha  bindiya"s  brother   owned  a  shed  for  a  tea  stall, during  summers  it was  not  paying  but  in winters  also  thought   bindiya  it  was  not  like  a  five  star  hotel  business,  meager  profit  margin kept  them  going

from previous--

bindiya overheard  her  guest  of  the  day  staying  for  luch  as  ever  , cutting  the  onions  she  knew  the  title  poor  was  meant  for  her,  she  did  not  like  being  discussed, her  life  was  her  matter, unconcerned  people  who  never   stand  by  or  contribute  to  their  life   have  no  right  to  discuss  people's  way  of   spending  their  life,  

from previous--

zeba  bhabhi  and  shamim ara  were  soul mates,  it  was  the  day  when shamim ara   came  to  see  them, bindiya  was  cleaning  the  house  ,  shamim ara  had  placed  the  jug  of   sweet  cold  sherbet  ruh  afza  in her  lap  and  swallowed  ate  least  three glasses  of  sherbet, gossip  and  scndal mongering  is  tonic  to  many  idle  women,  throwing  her  broom  bindiya  became  hyper,  because  she  could  not  hit  back  she  threw  her  chappals  on the  pet  favourite   rooster  of  her  bhabhi  zeba , 

bechari--

bindiya  was  sweeping   dusting  mopping  and cleaning  the  place  as  she  did  on routine, when shamim ara  the  closest  and  the  only  friend  of  her  bhabhi--sister in law  arrived,  directing  her  question  in  her   angle  if  she  was  still  there  and  not  married

emotions  are  caught  and  trapped

how  deep  the  hearts  are

how  can i  close  my  eyes

images  are   sunk  in them

tears  are  mute  and  deaf

hear  no  sound or  silence

some  day  they  will   agree

to  my  golden  dreams  of  joy

sadaf  --steal  all the  time  of  life

today  they  are  saying  something to  you

gazala   turned  statue  in her  place, , for  quite  some  time  waited   some  action to happen, then gathering herself  , picking  up the  fallen letter  from zargham she  decided  to  go  to  the  police  station, she  kept  on  moving  forward,  kept  on going, she  noticed  a  revolver  with a  silencer  attached  to  it  on the  road, she  picked  it  up  curiously, a  male  voice  jus  close  to her  ear  said  now  on it  were  her  fingerprints   pressed, she  turned  to  see  an  ugly  dangerous  looking   man  standing   there, 

from previous--

gazal  screamed  her  father  was  dead,  snatching the  letter  from her  hands  taimur  also  read  it, he  was  shocked  as  much  as  she,  he  decided  to  leave  that  sunk in gloom  place  quickly, he  reached  the  door  and  turned  round, gazala  saw  him bleeding, he  was  shot  and  there  was  no  sound,  he  fell  down  dead, now  she  was  in a  precarious  position, someone  already  was  there  and  knew  of  their  presence , he  was  ready  with  silencers  to  silence  them
