Chapter 6

"Zain, chalo Khana lag chukka hai" Chand Jaan said as she entered my room. "Chand Bibi Baas yeh ek Admi ko Katal karna hai, tau ata hoon" I said pressing the buttons on my wireless xbox pad. I loved grand theft auto. "Ya ALLAH, Zain yeh kiya keh rahe ho, kis ka katal?" Chand Jaan said shocked. "Jaan relax, yeh game khel raha hoon, isi ka murder" I laughed and saved the game. I stood up from my bean bag and looked in the full length mirror. I loved Chand Jaan, she was so cute. "Chalo janeman" I winked at her. "Badmaash" she replied.

Mom, Imani, Hadi bhai and Nafeesa aapi were seated on the table. Mum was talking to Imani about something. "Clothes what else, yeh larkiyan bhi" I shook my head. "Dad kaha hai, bhai" I asked sitting next to him. "Gone with Mamu to 13" Bhai answer indicated that there were at the hotel. "Who Ralph Lauren's new winter collection is amazing" Imani continued. "He has used so many earthy colours, brown, orange etc." "Yes and his handbag from last collection was sold out in India" Mum replied. "Aunty let's eat na, I'm hungry" Imani complained. "We wait for everyone to come to the table before we start" I said "everyone is here Zaeen" she said stressing my name. "Dadu is not, he will finish Namaz after 8:15, and so we still have 10 minutes left" I informed her. "Aunty I cannot wait" She looked at mum and said. "Acha lets start then" Mum said. "But mum, hamre ghar ka rule hai, sab milkar khate hai" I said looking at mum. "Baat tau sahi hai, Zain is right, rules are rules" Hadi bhai agreed. "But Zain, she is our guest, and we honour our guests" Mum said and picked up the salad bowl.

"India main log abhi bhi aise hai, they need to advance, and I would eat in my room in front of the TV watching anything from CW" Imani said looking at me. "It's shocking that people in India are still following tradition strictly" she continued. "I think people should eat whenever they like, so what if Dadu is not here, he will join us anyway, America main aisa hi hota hai".

"Hota hoga, likin yeh India hai, we believe that elderly people need to be shown respect through our actions. And about tradition and religion, then we are Muslims and proud of our traditions and religion and our religion and culture tells use to show respect to elders" I said to her. "Enough Zain, let's eat now" mum said looking at me. "Likin mum, tehzeeb is important, children today are becoming rebellious, ghar ke procedures aur apni tehzeeb aaj kal ke bachay follow nahi karte" I quoted mums liner from earlier on today.

Hadi bhai laughed and looked at me. "Look Dadu bhi agaye" He said and smiled at me. "waise Zain, when did your brain started working? He asked me. "Nafeesa begum, lagta hai Zain is growing up" he said and we both looked at Nafeesa Aapi. "Exactly my thoughts" she said and smile at me. "Nafeesa, keep your thoghts to yourself, Zain is not acting wise but badtameez, say sorry, now zain" Mum said sternly.

"Kya huwa bhai Suraiya, Bachay ko kyun dant rahe ho" Dadu said sitting in his chair. "He is being rude" Mum said to Dadu. "Zain, aisa hai then you should apologize, but mera Zain is anything but rude" he said looking at me and smiled. "Dadu I just stated my opinion but mum and Imani didn't like it, Nafeesa Aapi, this biryani is amazing" I said looking at her and winking. "And you know Dadu, if I am guilty I apologise, but I'm not, so I won't mum" I said digging into my food.

"Tau theek hai, I want you to take Imani out tomorrow and show her around, I have also booked you a table at Rouge at 8:00" Mum said. Was she talking to me? "Mum, I have an Important" "Nothing Zain, you are being very rude and wayward and what I said will be done, Chand Jaan dessert kahan hai" mum said sternly. Chal beta Zain kahan phas gaye, I thought to myself. "Kuch Karna parega, nahi tau" I said to myself.

"Zain, you parents are weird and strange sometimes. They show you love in different ways. I want you to stop talking back to your mum in a rude tone, she may think you do not respect her, and some other people may get that vibe. I know my son is not like that, so Kya pareshani hai" Dadu said as looked at me. "Nothing, just sometimes ho jata hai, I will talk to mum tomorrow" I said as I sat on the floor with my legs folded up and my arms on my knees. "I know there is something" Dadu said and sat on his bed.

"I'm a little scared, Dad is coming to see me, for the first time I don't want to mess it up tomorrow" I confessed. "I don't know what to do" I said looking down at the carpet. "I am really good, but but what if tomorrow" "Nothing will happen. I was cut off by Dadu. "Ayat al kursi parhna fly karne se pehle, dekhna, you will be amazing" Dadu said to me said motioned me to leave. "Shab-bakhair" Dadu said and lay down. I loved talking to Dadu, he was the most amazing person I have met and known in my life, he helped me when I had that nasty problem was going on. "If he wasn't around maybe I would still be" I said to myself and took my shirt off. I needed to sleep.

"Rizwan Pleaseee, yaar, itni bhi buri nai hai, you have to do this to me" I pleaded to Rizwan as we sat beside the pool. "Fine, but you have to tell me where you are going" Rizwan asked again. "Can't, but will soon. I promise" I said to him whilst drying my hair.

5 Hours later

"I'm so happy that I went to see you Zain, you are wonderful" Dad said as we walked up the stairs and into the living room. "Thank you dad, I'm happy that you got to see me flying, it makes me more confident" I said as dad up his arm around my shoulder. "I'm happy that after a long time, you have made me feel proud of something, but you kept this hidden from me for two years Zain and your mom" "No dad please abhi mom ko mat batana you kno she will ban me and, she wants me to start a business etc, I can't not just yet anyway" I said cutting my dad off. "Acha we will talk about this later" Dad said.

"Talk about what" Mum said walking towards us from the kitchen. "Nothing important Suaiya Begum, Yeh bataye kal jane ke liye sab tiyari hogai? Dad asked mum. "Haan Usman Sahib, sab theek hai" Mum said. "Zain, kahan the tum aaj? Mum Asked me sitting down. "Mum I was busy" I said to her. I hated lying to her but karna parta hai.

"Haan I know you were busy, but where. You know I told you specifically to take Imani but you deliberately disobeyed me, and instead you sent Rizwan to have dinner with her" Mum said standing up. "that was so impolite, I asked you in front of Imani and you obliged, phir kyun kiya aisa?" Mum asked. Oops what shall I say? I cant tell her why.

"Theek hai, agar aap aise behave karinge tau main bhi aap ki maa hoon, na hi aap, Bangkok ja rahe hai. Aur na hi Bhopal" Mum said looking directly at me. What, No please mum, I have to go to Bhopal.
