Posted by Saba Shiekh on March 04, 2016 with 8 comments
Recap:" Faraz's father got know about the incident of his and Umeed. Umeed told Romana to tell everything to her father but she told the only lie"

"Ro..maa..naa" her name came out from her mouth in broken pieces.

She looked her unbelievably... Her younger sister whom she loved her, the one whom she always gave priority to her every desire but she did this to her.

But she had always hope that she gave so much love to her family, they won't believe on Romana because they knew Romana was the layer. They would definitely support her.

She went to her father immediately and held his arm.

"Daddy! She's lying, she called Faraz and I didn't know about her plan or anything else..."

Before she completed her sentence, daddy raised her hands to stop.

"I don't want any explanation Umeed"

Umeed smiled, yes! He believed in her.

"I believed on my daughter, I believe in my own blood Umeed.." He said in arctic tone, the coldness of his tone is frozen her heart.

Yes! It was the matter of blood, she was not his own blood, how could he believe on her instead of his own daughter.

She looked him with unbelievable expression and the tear broke the cage of her eyelashes.

Her hands fell from the grip around his arm and she stepped back.

"am I not your blood daddy? Or should I say Mamu?" This time, her tone changed at once.

This is the family whom she loved and made every effort to win their heart. For their sake, she didn't participate in any activity, she chose the commerce instead of her interest, she sacrificed her love, she sacrificed her only friend.

She put great effort on herself because her father wanted to see her perfect. She became perfect but alas! Nothing was changed because she was not his own blood.

Her daddy said nothing, her mummy, as usual, stayed neutral as it was the show in which she never had any interest. But the evil smile came on the face of Romana which she clearly noticed.

"oh! You all don't have answer, then I would also not give any explanation because if you judge me on the base either I'm your blood or not then there's no use of explanation.." She said in low but strong voice but there was a clear pain could be felt in her voice.

His daddy looked Umeed, then Romana. He gasped and said  "Umeed! There is no any matter of blood, Romana liked Shayan, it was clear in front of us because we're her parents, she told us everything but you didn't tell us anything because you don't consider us your parents.  There's evilness in your blood that's why you did this"

The last hope also had broken loudly in her heart and she slowly turned towards the entrance. Before leaving door, daddy again called her "Umeed.."

She turned.

"called your boyfriend to come with his family tomorrow and we would fix your alliance, I don't want to face any shameless scene again in my house" his voice was harsh and rude.

She could feel clear scratches on her heart through his words.

A victorious smile came on the face of Romana and she said to daddy "it's ok daddy, Umeed aapi was hesitated to tell you anything, you should forgive her, I also forgive her because of her.."

"forgiveness my foot Romana" Umeed cut her words before completing her.

This time, mummy saw her with surprise, daddy, and Romana in deep shocked. But she left the room without watching their shocked faces.

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

She opened the door of her window but she couldn't find her best friend. Moon was on its early dates, that's why she couldn't see it.

After few minutes when she disappointed to find the moon in the sky, she gasped and put her head on the frame of the window. Her hairs touched the outside wall, tears were flowing silently from her eyes and falling on the wood of window's frame.

She was sitting on the floor and her flowy frock was scattered on the floor.

"why did it happen with me?" She questioned to space, the question to the stars, the question to the window on which she was flowing tear, she questioned to the wind which caressed her hairs. But at the end, she questioned to the God who was looking her from the sky but the one who was close to her more than her breath.

"to make you strong" someone whispered in her ear.

She uplifted her head from the window "wasn't I strong?" Always question born other question.

"to make you more strong and..."

"and?" She asked.

"and show the real face of someone.."

"real face.." She murmured. "whose face?" She asked confusingly.

But this time, no one answered her. She stood up with courage because she cried enough.

She got ablution and prayed to Allah to give her more and more courage.

At the end, she joined the dots how Romana planned everything and lied at the last moment.

She gasped and went to her laptop. "please Allah Pak! Forgive me for interrupting in the personal stuff of others, but I've to collect the proof"

She did some work on laptop and called Romana. She attended the call "oh aapi! Don't start again, I helped you only and you tried to spoil my reputation"

"it's ok honey, forget everything... I can understand your situation...well! I sent you one email, please check this is urgent" she said in flat tone.

"ok.." Romana shrugged and after checking the email, she disconnected the call.

After some steps of process, she was succeeded to hack the facebook account of Romana. She was not sure about the material, which she would get from her account but this is her first step to fine any proof but after the failure of this step, she would hack her laptop.

She opened her account and started to read her messages. As she started to read, her eyes widened with shock plus astonishment. Because it was not only proof, it was bundle of proves.

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

Faraz was restless after that incident because he was much worried about Umeed. He knew very well, how much she was concern about her reputation and once again he spoilt everything.

He looked his cellphone and wanted to make her call but he remembered last incidents which he made after their butterfly caught incidents.

He didn't want to throw her in any trouble again.

But his love was making him restless, suddenly he got the idea and he called Romana. But Romana cut his call, this was worried part for him.

"oh Allah save her, please... I know I'm bad fellow, I did many mistakes but don't do anything wrong with her please Allah! I promise, I would neither friendship with any girl nor smoke or disobey agha Jan and mama... Just give me chance to correct everything in her life... Give me Chance to give her back her happiness"

He was walking here and there because of tension and praying in his heart.

After few minutes later, his mobile rang. He checked the phone, he was happy but confuse to see the name of Umeed on the screen of his mobile.

He received the call and said immediately "Umeed. Are you ok?"

"do you really love me?." The flat voice of Umeed came from his phone.

He got confused but answered immediately "yes offcourse"

The slow voice of her breathing, he could sense clearly.

"can you do anything for me?" She asked.

"yes I can do.." He said immediately again because he wanted to weigh her condition as soon as possible.

"sure..?" She asked again.

"you can test" this time, he said with calm voice.

"hmm.."

"what do you want?" He asked.

"revenge" she said in dangerously cold voice.

Recap:" Amraha got know about the adoption of Aliyan by lady Mahar"

Next day, door bell was ringing whole day. Lady Mahar received the gifts and birthday cards from her children from different corner of the world. Her time spent while listening phone calls. Moreover her every child made her live call through skype and she cut the cake in front of camera. Almost, she cut the ten cakes and Amraha enjoyed so much because of eating cakes. Because of crowd of so many gifts, she was envious from her. She got the love from the children whom were not her in reality. There was  huge difference of nation, culture or religion. But there was no any difference of love which she spreads everyone without any misery moreover her children were also the same.

At night, when she got her last gift, then they all disclosed the gifts while sitting near the fire place. Lady Mahar opened each gift and touched it for few minutes, no doubt,  these were very precious gifts because these were bought by love. She got so much love although she was barren, but she got more love than those who have their own children. It was become possible because they gave priority to humanity without any difference of color and nation.

She opened each gift and told them about the giver of that gift.

"look at this Morgan! She gave me so much expensive watch, I don't need this watch but if I'll tell her she'll become angry  on me. She sends me gift more expensive gift than last year. She does part time job and whenever she came home, she jointed her ear to my ear and said that she wanna listen those words which I think in my mind moreover she told she listened all my dreams..." Lady Mahar completed her words while wiping  her tears.

After hearing all this, Amraha thought, not only her country but her world was also changed. Is there any woman in this world like lady Mahar?

"this is made by Denis" she showed the handmade frame of wood in which a picture placed. In the picture, a woman was sitting with circle of angel and ten children were sitting around her, starring her with the eyes of love.

"see what Denis made me? Nowadays he's in Germany and doing his own business moreover working with NGO too. He was twelve years old when he came to me and came near my bed in the midnight. He was starring me, don't know how much time, when I awaked and found him near my bed ... I envied on myself that is there any fortunate woman in the world like me? whose children starred her while sleeping"

She talked about her children for hours then Amraha took her to her room. There was a photo frame on the

side table which was not there before.

"it was given by Aliyan" lady Mahar kissed the photo frame which was made by Aliyan  in which he wanted to show how lady Mahar was looked in her young age.

"he loves me so much" she signed her Amraha to sit with her. She told her about her every child then how could it possible, she didn't tell her about him too.

"when he was got his 18th year of life and left the orphan house, I took him at home, he was younger in my all children and he cried a lot in his childhood. Whenever he came to me for one night, organization manger told me how did he remained restless after visiting me. When he got adultery then I've decided to keep him with me. He came home and he was so much happy. He starred the walls of house for hours, napped against the fire place or watched action movies in whole night. I thought, he was new And became normal after some time. I awaited that might he would changed himself and showed some wisdom that he should took step for his career but he was disappointing me. Once it was snowing outside, I put some clothes in the bag and banished him from the house with the few pounds and said to him "first become human being then come home otherwise I wouldn't allow you in my house"

Amraha shocked to listen her that how much lady Mahar strict to her children.

"I didn't get any news of him after one year, I knew he was so much stubborn but I didn't know he got angry on me and I felt sorrow to think, why I took work with so much strictness. But what should I did? Comfort of my house was ruining his personality and career, I could see the fire in my house instead of spoiling my children"

Amraha became silent while sitting with lady Mahar on couch. Her both brothers were failing in their exams continuously but except scolding, they didn't get any punishment. Baba stopped giving them pocket money but amma gave them money silently, otherwise dadi also did the same. In every new day, they got new bike and rode whole night on it. They were always busy on computer or mobile. They did everything in the eyes on baba and amma but they didn't do anything to give them lesson. If they were sleeping and dada was trying to wake them up then dadi and amma started to fight with him that why was he waking them and they were children only etc.

"are they children? It's 2 pm of day and working people earned half of their earning, I lifted my responsibility in this age too" dada said.

"this was old time" amma offences.

"that was good time, my father hit me with shoes while sleeping, if I didn't got up for fajar (prayer of morning). Amam of mosque devided duties to every young child of town to make them habitual of waking up at fajar time. They all were wise people, they upbringing their children with wisdom. When my mother made rotie in the furnace, my father told me to sit with her then I would know how much she tolerated heat because of feeding me. Moreover, my mother told me to  fill bucket for bathing of my father then I would know how much he suffered because of me and I should know the importance of him. If my parents, made me fondling then I fell before walking. "

"enough..." Dadi offended to listen his lecture.

Now Amraha was got know the real depth of dada's words.

"then what was happened?" Amraha asked  excitedly.

"I was ensured that he was safe but I was also afraid and my heart missed the beat on the  every ring of phone. One year passed, one day, I was sleeping on my bed and someone lifted my quilt and enlightened the candle on the small almond cake. It was Aliyan and he came from window to surprise me.

"oh then this is tradition" she said.

"yes!" Lady Mahar smiled. " but now I always changed my room in that night and he jumped on every window to seek me. Well! That night he showed me the student card of Manchester university and said "I become human being now" he told proudly because university gave him scholarship" lady Mahar wiped the moisture of corner of her eye. "he never disappoint me. When I adopted those children, that time I promised myself that I would make them best human being of society. I would not hesitate to take Any step for it. When child comes in the lap of woman then she has the responsibility like prophets.  There's no place of mistake in this responsibility. When God give upbringing responsibility to any person then he gave bridle of humanity in the hands of that person. Now it's on us either we made him like satan to ruin the humanity or make him good human being who scattered the light around his surrounding. All peoples are good in their birth Amraha! It's cradle of their nourishment which made them in other shape. These were flowers and these were us who squeezed them and thrown them in the mire.

Behind the Mist Ep 1

Posted by Saba Shiekh on March 04, 2016 with 2 comments
The door knocks and a man of notable personality steps into the room. She raises her head and displays a smile on her face that adds more innocence in her face. He is with a newspaper in his hands that he puts in front of her on the table and sits down in the armchair opposite to her table and start gazing her face as if he wants to know what next she's going to do.

 "Is there's something special in today's newspaper ?", She asks without turning a single page of a newspaper.


He just nods in affirmation and turns the page which he wants to show her.
She casts her eyes on a news, "Abdul Aziz sentenced to death" she feels like something caught her heart so tightly that she can't breathe. She closes her eyes and opens again and looks at the man sitting before her. He is still looking at her in the same manner. She moves and puts her back on the back of the chair she's sitting in, starts starring the ceiling. A tear appears in one of her eye followed by another in the second. he immediately stands up and comes near her and cups his hands around her face and starts wiping her tears. He says, " I've vowed you that I would never let a single tear come out of your eyes except the ones of happiness".

She looks at her and smiles, holds his hands and says," I don't know because of what these are in my eyes, for grief or for happiness, but it's the only reaction that I can give upon something like this."

" I know.", he whispers.

 " I'm grateful to him for whatever he did for me but it's really sad that I can't do something to save him.",she says while weeping quietly.

  "I know Sara, and you don't need to be guilty.He is a nobleman for you but he's getting the result of his deeds now that were not beneficial for anyone. And the thing is that he also thinks it the best for his repentance and redemption of his past. Don't you think so?", he says. Sara nodes her head in assertion and takes out a tissue from the tissue box and wipes her face that makes her face look red and she start starring the table now.

 He says, " We're going to meet him tomorrow after 2 O'Clock to bid him good bye, you must be ready".

She looks at him as she wants to ask him if he really meant so but before she utters a word he again says,"yes I mean it.", and taps her cheeks and leaves.

She is still starring the door that closed after he left. After a few moments, she tries to start doing her office work but she can't, she soon realizes that the knock  was not on the door of her office but on the doors of the closed chambers of her past. She picks her handbag and intercoms her secretary for further controlling that she's unable to do right now.

~~~~~~~~

Every single moment of her past kept whirling in her mind throughout the whole drive to her home but she didn't weep again.

Entering her bedroom she puts her handbag on the dressing table and looks herself in the mirror of dressing table for a while and turns towards the bed  throwing herself on it.

 Her hair is spread around her head and shoulders and hands widely spread too. Eyes are moist but there's something not letting her precious tears shed again. Her eyes are fixed on the ceiling and seem that they can see the whole story of Sara's past in the form of a movie. In the meantime, she finds herself 6 years aback. She can clearly see now everything apart from the fog created by the moisture in her eyes.

~~~~~~~

" I'm so proud today my dear ward", says Mr. Hashim tapping her back with a style showing immense pride.

"It's just because of you baba, you and your support brought me where I'm right now, it's a dream of everyone today in our city to get admission in  this institute and I'm really very thankful to God who bestowed me this honor that I did it and came on merit list. It's really you baba, it's really you.",she speaks all in a single breath.

 Mrs Hashim comes in with a box of sweets in her hands and makes them eat the sweets. All are so happy that every one of them wants the moment  to pass never.

 "Ok now mama and baba we're gonna celebrate this tonight by having an outing together.", says she in full excitement and both Mr. and Mrs. Hashim nod there head in a self-convincing manner.

~~~~~~~~~

Sara is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hashim Ahmad, belonging to the elite class of society and a renowned businessman. Sara, being born with a silver spoon in her mouth, never has been proudly or like other elite youngsters. Simplicity, austereness, sharp minded, and something different from all others contribute to her prominence and attractiveness. She is quite selective when it comes to friendship but is cautious a lot when it comes to fall in love.

She considers this passion as being useless and meaningless, her rationality does not let her to believe in timely emotions and that she would never be under the spell of the same. She is the girl possessing a chaste mind, soul and body.

After returning home she comes directly to her room and locks the door has a glimpse on thewall clock which is striking 10 of night. She sighs in contention and lies on bad. She wants to sleep early so that she could wake up early in the next morning because morrow is going to be her first day at Saint Peter Business School from where she aspires to be an MBA. The time passes and she's now in the lap of a sound sleep.

~~~~~~

Sun is shining brightly with all it's might and the sweet fragrance of spring flora has perfumed the whole garden area of the varsity. She steps forward keeping her eyes straight to the building where her classroom is supposed to be. Suddenly someone holds her from waist leaving her shuddered.
