Yaaram Ep 14

Derik was student of art and he made two minutes documentary for the local channel and asked Amraha for 

dubbing. Amraha knew that he was still guilty. So that he was helping her as much as he could. She got good 

amount and good information by the help of camera, she made documentary and made good amount. Derik 

showed her his old documentaries and she liked those, specially she liked the effort of Derik. 

After thinking of few days, she discussed it with Derik. She wanted to make documentary about Manchester 

university,  to update Pakistani students. Derik told her that she had to write script for documentary first. Firstly 

write script on it. He gave her his script. After reading those scripts, she wrote script of five minutes. Derik 

proofread it and she made good video of admission. Derik dubbed it in English and Amraha in urdu. She sent the 

video to some Pakistani channels and waited for their feedback. 

It took few time and she got answer. They were wanting to buy the video but they were purchasing video in less 

money. She wanted to sell them video but Derik stopped her:" Shouldn't be so hasty in making decisions dear! 

Sometimes it might not harm us but it would definitely less the profit. My first documentary was keeping with me 

for a year but no one was ready to purchase it. I gave it to journalist for a trail and he posted it on his blog. Then 

please don't ask because that time, every channel eagerly ready to take rights of my video. Look! There are two 

types of peoples in our world, one who wants to get a good things and other who wants to purchase good things 

which gives them profit also... If first person refuse you then go to second one" 

Derik and she did research for it and they sent this video to some Pakistani companies which worked on student 

visa. They got answer from second level company and they answered them yes because they were giving good 

amount to Amraha. This company was also ordered her to make two more videos for the information of 

Manchester university which they could show to their students. Amraha and Derik was also working on it, Amraha 

got good profit and she was hopeful that if she was progressing like that then she would definitely clear her 

liability.

****************

Her graph of frugality was increasing day by day and she completely avoided overspending. It was winter and she 

only purchased coats for her because those coats which she brought from Pakistan, were useless for the coldness 

of Manchester. 

One night, she got the call of dada and she thought that he was very tensed.

Dada said:" Amraha! Don't be worry but listen to me carefully, your Baba is admitted in hospital, fire burned in the 

market and he faced huge lost, that's why he couldn't handle himself and the situation" 

"what happened Dada?" She shouted. 

Dada:" He's fine now, he felt pain in chest" 

Amraha:" Give him phone... I wanna talk to him" 

Dada:" He's unconscious now, you just pray for him" 

She came out from the room under the open sky, she felt exhausted like everything was pressurising her and this 

pressure would kill her. Sadhna followed her:" Is everything ok Amraha?" 

"My baba is admitted in hospital.." She said hardly. 

She looked her silently:" He would be fine.." 

She lifted her face to look Sadhna. 

Sadhna:" Why are you worrying so much... You were telling me before two days that you're young tigress" 

Amraha:" Don't know why, my heart is feeling restless" 

Sadhna:" It's not restlessness, it's despair and when person disappointed, he feels like same. And this feelings 

haunted us when we feel disappointed otherwise you didn't come from your room. You should do your worship 

instead of crying you should pray now, handle yourself and talk to your family" 

She shocked to see Sadhna and rushed inside. She called to her home and consoled amma and dadi:" Don't worry, 

he would be alright" she said in firm voice. 

"if something happens to him?" Amma was crying. 

"I don't have answer of your despairs" she said and talked to dada and doctors of Baba. He got conscious after 

three hours and discharge after three days. 

Shop was burned-out and he got loss of 25 lacs so how was this possible that Baba didn't feel pain in his chest 

because he was almost bankrupt. 

Everyone was very tensed that what would happen now?  And she was busy in seeking solution of this problem. 

She was also worry but wasn't disappointed. 

"Wajid is taking loan on usury" dada said. 

"usury..?" She shocked to listen it. 

Dada:" Yes! He's not listening me and he can't get the loan without it" 

She felt sad to listen it:" It's forbidden dada!" 

Dada:" I remember but also remind him too but he's saying it's just interest of loan" dada got teary eyes by saying 

this." Either he would sell house or take loan from bank. 

Amraha:" I will do something, stop Baba to taking loan" 

"what will you do?" Dada was surprised. 

"why? I can do many things if any difficulty comes, then its solution would also here. We just need to search it. I'm 

also seeking the solution" 

She transferred her saving and the amount which she was earned from her documentaries work. It was few lacs 

rupees of Pakistan. It was enough that time but then she thought again and went to lady Mahar for discussion of 

this problem. 

Lady Mahar gave her cheque silently and Amraha starred her with amused. She thought that she would advice her 

that what should should now. 

" it's only loan" lady Mahar said..

"yup.." She nodded. 

Lady Mahar:" You know Amraha! I can afford to keep you and the girls like you there without any rent but I don't 

do this because I don't want to make you useless. My one son is living in this city but he doesn't live with me 

because I taught him to do effort and struggling. He can't sleep on the soft mattress of my house. I want to see my 

children as successful persons of society. But they have to lead hard life instead of luxurious for this purpose. 

They've to become cipher because they can put any number ahead of this cipher. My father was farmer and he 

had farmhouse in the Scotland and he said like that "residential of palaces are unfortunate  people of this world 

because they're useless" and he said by putting soil in his hands "we're fortunate because we're useful, life is 

breathing in us and the heartbeat is living in us"  I can give you this money but I give you as loan because you've to 

make yourself useful to return it...ok?" 

Amraha:" Ok...!" 

She also transferred this amount to Baba's account too. 

Baba called her:" How do you get this big amount of money?" 

Amraha:" My landlady gave me money without usury and some of them was my saving" 

"how do you save this?" No one knew that she was working except dada. 

Amraha:" I'm doing job Baba" 

Baba:" Job? You never did job Amraha, no even minor one" 

Amraha:" It was my mistake and now I'm doing job that's why I'm happy... Everyone is doing job there" 

Baba got teary eyed and first time for her:" Amraha! When have you grown up Amraha? Ali and Hamad are still 

busy in playing and you sent me millions of rupees and I didn't give you one rupee for going there" 

Amraha:" Ali and Hamad are like that because you made them like that. You should be strict to them. If they don't 

want to study then you should teach them something else. We made our children like that itself, we made them 

useless" 

Baba listened her carefully:" Dada said you, you're studying in senior class and I'm sure now you've grown up now. 

Now tell me what should I do now?" 

Her heartbeat was fasten to listen it and she was become happy to listen it. 

"firstly, you should save money now. Say to Ali and Hamad to wake up early. Say to Daniya to  do some job and 

don't take pressure on your head. It was our benefits hidden in this loss. Sometimes little loss saves us big loss. We 

didn't face any lost of our love ones. Now you've to do effort to start your work and It's my desire you bring orphan 

kids to your shop and feed them dinner." 

Baba:" I bring them to myself and feed them... Something else?" 

She got teary eyed but couldn't say to baba that it's parents who can make their children a nice part of car which 

can easily fit in the mechanism of life. But they can also make them useless part which can stop the life. 

"take care yourself baba and don't be worried about anything" 

Baba:" After gaining profit from my shop then I would return your money" 

Amraha:" I don't need this baba! I've enough money for my need" 

Baba:" But you get tired" 

Amraha:" Nope baba! I feel happy  to do so"
