Chapter 2
Asad mumbled as he moved ahead, ignoring the girl. On his way, he stopped near the central neem tree where the elderly of village were sitting in group.
"Asalam Walekum!" he wished everyone.
"Walekum Asalam Asad miyan! Kya haal chaal hai?" one of them asked.
"Aapki duayein hai chacha. aap sunaye, Shehroz miyan ki tabiyat durust hai ki nahi?" Asad replied politely.
"Allah ka reham, Shehroz kaafi behtar hai. Tumhara bahout shukriya beta, pata nahi kya karta main tumhare begair!"
"Mujhe sharminda na kare..yeh meri khushsnubi hai ki main aapke kaam aa saka!" Asad replied. "Achha ab ijaazat dein! khuda hafiz!" he added.
"Khuda hafiz!" the old man wished him back. "Bahout salekemand bacha
hai!"
"Ek yeh hai aur ek iska Bhai, ek no. ka awaara badmaash, Khudaya Khair!" other old man exclaimed as he glanced the retreating figure of Asad.
Few mins later,
Asad reached their fields where few help hands of theirs were working. Asad wished everyone as he went ahead to freshen up where he saw his brother Aman still sleeping under the mango tree.
"Yaa Allah! yeh aman Bhai bhi na!" Asad exclaimed as he slapped his forehead. Asad shook up Aman, "Aman Bhai! uth jaye.. suraj sar chad aaya hai!"
"Uff kya masla hai tumhara Asad... chain se sone do mujhe!"
"Aman Bhai, agar dada jaan yaa abba aa gaye toh qayamat aa jayegi!"
"Kuch nahi hoga! Khuda ke liye mujhe baksh do.. warna..warna main apne pir sahib se puchh kar tumpe koi tabeez kar dunga!" Aman exclaimed irritated.
"Kya hoga aapka?! Sote rahein!" Asad said.
"Koi nahi bachu...ek baar mera vilayat ka VISA lag jaye... ek sade hue gaon ko mudke bhi nahi dekhunga!" Aman mumbled as he tossed on the other side.

Heer rushed downstairs to the kitchen as she had to finish the breakfast preparations. After this she had to leave for her morning university. Don't be surprised... she is an aspiring MBA students. She works hard in university and then, does a part time job in nearby Indian restaurant for her fees. So, she mashed boiled potatoes for Firdous's parathas, buttered Isra's bread and when she was done, she called everyone downstairs for breakfast. Ami too came down in a decent pair of jeans and t-shirt.
"Achha Heer Gudiya, jaate waqt zara phonebook mein se Pakistan ka number nikal jana.. bade din hue baat nahi ki!" Firdous said.
"Jee Baba, Nikal dungi !" Heer replied while eating her bread. Isra and Amirah looked at each other hopelessly.
~~~~~~
It was around, 12:30 in afternoon when Firdous decided to call... he dialed the number. After 2-3 rings, an elderly voice answered it, "Hellooo!"
"Hello bauji!" Firdous said.
"Hellooo! Kaun hai Bhai? Awaaz nahi aa rahi!" Karim said in high volume.
"Bauji main Firdous!"
"Kirlous!? Kaun Kirlous?"
"Uff... Kirlous nahi bauji! Firdous! Fir..d..o..us!" he said emphasizing on each and every alphabet.
"Achha Firdous! Kaise ho beta?" Karim asked.
"Asalam Walekum bauji! Allah ki meherbaani... main te ekdum changa, tussi dasso... ki haal chal hai tuwade?" Firdous asked, literally shouting on phone.
"Walekum Asalam! Main bhi thik thak..! Tum sunao...!"
"Hum bhi thik hai !" Firdous replied, and he got engaged in talking with Karim. Isra who was sitting nearby, Yeh toh gaye kaam se ! abb do ghante tak phone par chipke rahenge aur phir chilayenge, haaye main mar gaya... haye mera kaan dard kar raha hai! haaye mere gale mein kharash ho gayi! muttered under her breath as fined her nails.
And she was right! That only happened, after talking for nearly about 2 hrs, Firdous began his act. When Heer returned home, both Isra and Ami were running here there.
"Kya hua Baba?" heer asked worried.
"Hona kya hai?! Wahi har baar ka drama... pehle chilla kar baatien karo aur phir gale mein kharash!" Isra blabbered in anger.
"Ohhoo...! Kya Baba.. aap bhi na ! Koi baat nahi... main aapke liye adrak wali chai banati hu.. abhi aapka gala thik ho jayega!" Heer said.
