teen andey

...Suzy after a long time finally decided to clean up the house  thoroughly,  during the past twenty years of her married life a  huge pile of unwanted things was stored under her bed,  she moved her bed and  found a square clean box,  surprised she looked at the rather clean box not covered in layers of dust, , curious she opened the box to find  thre eggs and  ten thousand dollars 
In the evening on her husband's return sge discussed about the box , he rather apologetically  explained every time he  cheated on her he put an egg in the box , Suzy thought  just three times  in a period of twenty years is forgivable,  her next question was about the dollars 
Honest husband  truthfully explained  the box was too small so he would sell the eggs and kept the dollars there

...problems were  aggressively  growing,  no good news  was received,  one day coming back from the factory  her head began spinning badly,  she sat down on the ground clutching her head,  shopkeepers  gave her water to drink , she gathered herself and dragged herself back home,  later in the evening she visited the clinic in the neighborhood,  the lady doctor checked her condition,  her sugar level had increased drastically,  , she could either take insulin shots or insulin pills,  uncaring  she returned home,  she had sufficient amount   but she didn't want to use it on herself,  she was keeping it for her children,  Ada enquired  about her visit to the clinic,  she  explained  untruthfully  it was weakness  and she was sick she was advised to take rest , Asa then informed her wasim spends whole day lurking around,  he says nothing but his  attitude is threatening,  perhaps  fuda and  he might start another brawl,  Mrs jafry defeated dejected slumped on her bed, , rawa rushed to get her some water

....he finished his night  namaz before coming outside into the yard , suddenly he had a fleeting glimpse of definitely her  veil,  she was going upstairs once again but after a very long lapse he wondered what took her upstairs this odd hour,  several suspicions rose inside him,  her dubious activities must have drawn others attention , certainly  she was caught  , whether she was innocent or guilty he had no idea  but such  behavior made her doubtful character 
He decided to follow her upstairs silently,  she sat in a corner of the terrace  without any mat doing yoga exercises,  completely focused on her deep breathing and   she looked relaxed and comfortable  filled with inner happiness,  he  never had seen her so radiant before 
Murtaza was ashamed of his low thinking,  how wrong he was  , she was after all a human being and needed  fresh air , it must be extremely boring and tiring staying indoors all the time

...when  he arrived a week ago  in this house after ages  at night  he immediately kept his luggage in the drawing room cum guest room,  freshened up and emerged in clean pair of clothes  before sitting down to eat dinner with others  in the hall,  traditional dastarkhwan was spread out on the floor,  there wasn't any table,  just a medium sized table to complete the sofa set , it couldn't be  practically used for dining,  the food wasn't quite  formal,  meal consisted of chana pulao, raita salad kheema alu but for him it was equal to a grand feast, home cooked food is always  tastefully  served,  he had learned to appreciate home cooked food  within the first week of his stay in the hostel,  bad spicy stale  mess meals quickly spoiled his digestion,  he had  come to live in this house only, naturally  formality is quickly dropped  and one is expected to feel free  and comfortable  while eating,  he was a simple  person and didn't fuss about food , he happily  accepted  whatever was  cooked 
What about others  aren't they joining us for the meal just need baji and ali bhai were present at the dastarkhwan with him

....it was  an unknown  hour of the night,  there was a knock  on the door,  Mrs jafry was a light sleeper  , her eyes flew open instantly,  She glanced at the wall clock,  it was turning one past midnight,  who could that be this hour,  perhaps Tahir sahib had brought police,  flustered she got out of bed,  both Rawat and Ada were fast asleep  in their beds by her bedside,  fuda was inside  the other room,  the door was once again knocking,  putting on her slippers she reached the door,  once again the door was knocked,  she  worriedly asked who was there 
A male voice was heard  saying he was jalaluldin , a friend of jafry sahib,  I have something the matter to discuss with you,  open the door 
She was doubtful  whether to open the door or not,  anything could happen  at this unexpected time  specially in a house where the number of women were more 
The male stranger's voice rose  he had some years ago taken loan from jafry sahib and he wanted to return it , next morning he had his flight to Canada  therefore he arrived this unusual hour 
As far as she remembered  the factory was  in loss , jafry sahib practically couldn't have given any loan to anyone
