Pher abbo nay

0:00 When I opened my eyes at 2:00 in the night, my father was lying on my mother and the bed was shaking violently. It seemed as if the bed would break any moment. My mother and father were not even aware that I was also sleeping downstairs. Both of them became so engrossed. He was doing his work and continued like this for 15 minutes. Now this had become a daily routine. I used to wake up daily at 2:00 in the night and watch my mom and dad. One night, father had gone to Lahore. Mother was alone at home. At 2:00 in the night, I am with my mother. My name is Shamsher. I am 20 years old. We used to live in Lahore.

0:47 My father had a tailor shop in Karachi. My mother's name is Salma and father 's name is Irshad. My mother got married at a young age. My mother will be about 40 years old. But the beauty that my mother had at the age of 40 was not there even at the age of 16. Everyone used to say, Salma, you are becoming younger day by day. what are you eating? And my mother would laugh and pass it across. My mother's balloons and bags were very big. Because of which any man who saw her, would just keep looking at her. Abbu left us here in Lahore and went to Karachi and for many years he would only send money to us. After two years, we used to come home for a month

1:35 but now father's shop had started doing well so he called us also to Karachi. Abbu had rented the house above the shop. My father's shop was downstairs and the owner's family also lived next to it. In his family, the landlord had a daughter whose name was Sumera. She was also 17 years old because I lived in Lahore. I came to Karachi for the first time. I did n't know that much about Karachi. So that's why I used to ask that girl. She also used to visit our house. Our house consisted of two rooms and a small kitchen. At night, there was light on in the kitchen due to which there was a dim light in the entire room.

2:24 Sumera, the daughter of the landlord, kept smiling at me. I had also decided in my heart that I would definitely complete this work. In the initial days, I used to stay at home. But later my father told me to come and sit at the shop and learn the work. Then father put me to work in the shop. But I did not like sitting at the shop. Sumaira used to go to college at 8:00 in the morning and return back at 2:00 in the afternoon. I came to know his timing and now I used to open the shop even in the morning. Even while leaving in the morning, Sumera used to smile seeing me and even while coming back in the afternoon, my mother used to remain alone at home the whole day. My father had got a TV installed for my mother

3:10 and also got cable installed. So my mother used to watch dramas the whole day. My father was now earning good money. I kept fulfilling my mother's demands. Sometimes he would bring biryani home. Sometimes fruit, sometimes something else, sometimes something else. In this way, now a month had passed since we had come to Karachi. Initially, I did not like Karachi. But now slowly I started enjoying Karachi. We used to sleep in the same family. We were not many people. There were three men. Mom and Dad used to sleep on the bed. I used to sleep downstairs with them. I woke up around 2:00 in the night. I saw the bed was shaking. At first I did not understand what was happening. As soon as I started getting up. I saw that

3:56 my father was lying on my mother and he had a cloth covered over him. A small light was burning in the kitchen. Because of which light also came into the room. I could see it faintly. I did not wake up and continued to look at them while sleeping. The same thing happened again the next night. At 2:00 in the night it started again on Abbu Amma. Today he played the match for half an hour. Now I wake up every night at 2:00 am. I kept looking at mom and dad. Because of which my perspective regarding Amma started changing. Now, whenever I got a chance, I would come home and look at my mother and think how lucky my father is that he gets to spend time with my mother at night. I repeatedly stopped my mind from thinking about my mother.

4:43 But again and again the same scenes from that night would come before my eyes. Now I didn't like Sumaira either. She herself wanted to talk to me. Now I was getting him to give up his life. Now I used to wake up at 10:00 in the morning so that I didn't have to go to the shop. So father would go away. In the beginning, my father scolded me a lot to wake up early. But father also became silent. I wanted to spend as much time as possible with my mother. I used to see him doing that work every day. But I never let my mother know that I keep looking at you people. Days were passing like this. One evening, Abbu received a call from Lahore. My father's sister, that is, my aunt's husband had passed away.

5:29 At first, father thought that mother and father should leave. Since I had also just come to Karachi, I said I too will not stay. I will also go with you guys. Then father thought that he should go alone. He will return in two-three days. As soon as father said that he was going alone. I was very happy. I thought in my heart that instead of father, I would be with mother at night, then my father started telling me to take care of the house and open the shop early in the morning. You can then come back home after hiring the workers. I said, yes, yes father, you don't worry. Father gave me the keys to the shop. Prepared a bag. I put two-three sets of clothes in it and my father left. My mother was a little

6:14 sad. Perhaps she was living alone in Karachi for the first time. We used to live in the village. We were halfway there. I told my mother , Mom, don't worry. I am with you. Then my mother said, Zeeshan, I know you are with me. But I find a different kind of peace in living with your father. I understood what kind of relief my mother was talking about. I also said, Amma, I too can provide you with every kind of comfort. Then my mother started saying, what do you mean? What do you want to say? Then I suddenly changed the topic. I said, Amma, I will obey everything you say. Whatever you want to eat and drink, I will give it to you in the same way as father used to give it to you. You please let me know. Then my father told me to sit at the shop now.

7:02 Close the shop at 10:00 pm and come home. My father went to the train station from there. I remained sitting at the shop. till 9:00 pm Then I closed the shop at 9:00 pm and went to the hotel. I got some good food prepared for myself and mother and also bought some fruits etc. Now I had come home. I said, Mom, I have brought food. Quickly take it out on plates so that we can eat. When mom and I were having dinner. I told my mother, Mom, if you need anything, you can tell me. You can consider that I am your father for a few days. Then my mother started saying, how can you take your father's place. You are my son. I said, Amma, I am still your son, but now I have grown up. I

7:47 can do all the work that my father does. If you want you can try me out. As soon as I said this sentence, I don't know what came into my mother's mind? She started staring at me. Then I placed my hand on my mother's shoulder. I said what happened, mom? What thoughts did you go into? Then my mother started saying nothing. I just remembered something. I knew what my mother was missing. Now I was worried. I had only two-three days because my father would return within two-three days. I wanted to complete that work with my mother within these two-three days. Now I came to my bed to sleep and the only thought going on in my mind was how to somehow convince my mother to do this work. Then I called my mother. I asked, Amma, are

8:34 you awake or asleep? My mother said, I am just getting ready to sleep. I said, Mom, I am not able to sleep. Let me talk to you about some things. My mother started saying, yes, yes, tell me what is the matter? I said, Mom, you know I am 20 years old. What have you thought about me ? My mother started asking what else to think about? Speak openly. I said, Mom, look among all our relatives, all the boys of my age are married. Why don't you guys get me married ? Actually, I wanted to bring my mother to this issue by talking like this. My mother said, you know we have just come to Karachi. Let me settle down here, I will get married too. what's your hurry? I said no,

9:22 you are not in any hurry. But I have it. How I spend my nights. You do n't even know. I am so restless. How am I managing to make my living? I am managing my work by watching videos on my mobile. My mother started saying, you rude person, what kind of thing are you talking to your mother? I said, Amma, you yourself told me to speak openly. That's why I want to tell you whatever was in my heart. There is so much I am not telling you right now. I want to tell that also. She started saying what do you mean? You have already said so much. What is left beyond this? Don't talk like this to me. I know you have grown up now. When your father comes, we will definitely think about it. I said, Mom, what are you thinking

10:09 ? It takes a lot of time to think. I like the daughter of the landlord. You do one thing, she is at our house the whole day anyway. Please let us talk to him. My mother said it was okay. Your father should come. We will talk about your marriage. If they agree then it is fine. I said, Mom, who told you about marriage ? Please make me friends with him. I am speaking only to the extent of friendship. I will marry within my community only. She was my uncle's daughter. I liked him. I said I will marry only her. But yes, for now I pass my time with it. My mother started saying that it has not grown too much. Even more than necessary. I said, this is what I have been trying to explain to you for a long time, that I have grown more than necessary.

10:59 Think about me at least a little. Then my mother said, what should I think? Meaning, now I should introduce you to friends. I am your mother. Would anyone talk to his mother about such things? Then I said, Mom, what is wrong in this? You guys also do that work, right? Do n't I know that every night at 2:00 am, Abbu is busy with you and you don't know that I am the one sleeping downstairs. Am I blind? I can't see it. I know everything. My mother started saying that shameless person looks at his parents secretly. I said what is there to see? You people should think for yourself that I would be lying there with you. It is a house with just one room. You do this work every day. You are scolding me while I am speaking. My mother started saying, you are feeling so shy,

11:45 go and spread a sheet in the kitchen and sleep. There is no need to sleep in the room. I said, "Amma, why should I sleep?" I am having a little issue. If you guys have it then you all go and sleep. Then you sleep about me too. If you do such things in front of me, I will feel bad. And father takes the entire responsibility of the house on his head. The bed is shaking so loudly. I suspect that the noise might also reach the owner downstairs. Then my mother started saying, shut up you scoundrel and go to sleep. You don't have any manners how to talk to your mother. I will complain against you. Let your father come. I said, Mom, what is there to complain about in this ? What did I say wrong? You guys also do it, right? My mother started saying that he is my husband. I can't

12:31 refuse him. Whenever he feels like it, he will do it with me. But you should be ashamed. While talking like this. I said, Mom, what should I be ashamed of? Obviously I need one thing. I do n't know anyone else here in Karachi who I can tell this to anyone else. I have to tell you only that you should do something for me. Then my mother said, go to sleep, we are not talking about this right now. I said ok if not now then tomorrow but you should understand my feelings, I cannot tolerate it any more. Just Enough. My mother started saying, yes, yes, I thought we will see about it tomorrow and then my mother kept sleeping silently. I also kept sleeping like this for a long time and then I fell asleep. My mother woke me up at 9:00 in the morning. She

13:19 said, get up, have breakfast, go and open the shop and put the workers to work. I lied to my mother. I said, Mom, I was awake the whole night. I sleep now. I am not going to open the shop. She started saying that your father will beat you. Go, open the shop and then come back home. I said ok fine. I will get up in 5 minutes. When I woke up I went straight to the bathroom. I washed my hands and face and came out and my mother was smiling at me. I said, Mom, what happened? Is everything okay? why are you smiling ? Then my mother said, do you know what you said last night? I said yes, I know everything. What kind of intoxication do I take that I will forget everything? My mother

14:04 started saying, you fool, no one talks like this to his mother. I said, Mom, can I tell you straight away if you don’t mind? My mother said, "You have already said so many things. " Till now I haven't felt anything bad. When my mother said this, my courage increased further. I said, yes, you are right. I said, "Ammi, I was saying, "If you don't get my work done with the landlord's daughter," then I will do anything." Then you don't have to tell me why you did this? My mother said, "What can you do?" "What would you do?" Just tell me. I said I will tell you later, when you did not do my work then she said not now, tell me now, I said no, not now then she said to me

14:49 ok you do one thing, go downstairs, open the shop and ring the doorbell of the owner and tell him that my mother is calling his daughter. I will try to get your work done. I said, Mom, let me tell you first that I should not talk about marriage. Just to pass your time like this, you just have to make friends. The rest is my job. My mother said it was okay. Then I had breakfast and then I came down. When the owner rang the gate of the house, his same daughter came to open the gate. Seeing me she asked, what happened so early in the morning? Is everything okay? I said, yes, actually mom had some work with you. She was calling you. She started asking, what work does aunt have so early in the morning? I said I do n't know. She said, I am going to college right now. When I

15:36 come back, I will meet him. I said okay, fine. Then I opened the shop and the workers also arrived and the work started. At 11:00 am I went to Amma's side again. My mother said that work has started at the shop. I said yes, everyone is working. I said I had told him that. She was saying that I will come after college. Then my mother said, okay, it's fine. If you want, you can take some rest. Then you go to the shop again at 1:00. I said, Mom, I am not able to sleep on the floor. Let me sleep on your bed. Then my mother started telling me that this is a thing to ask, is it your own house? Sleep wherever you wish. Then I went and slept at my father's place. I said, Mom, let's come and sit and talk. My

16:23 mother said that I still have some household work to do. You lie down. Where was I supposed to sleep ? I asked, when are mom and dad coming back? Did you have any conversation with dad ? Amma said, yes, his call came at 10:00 in the morning. He will leave from there tomorrow. He will come here the day after tomorrow. He was asking me whether he had gone to the shop, so I told him that yes he is at the shop. I became even more worried after hearing this. Now I had only two-three days. Within those two-three days, I had to do that work with my mother. I said, “Mummy, it is a matter between us.” Will you talk to Sumaira ? She said, leave it to me, it is my work. I said, still tell me too. She started saying that she likes you anyway.

17:10 I have noticed that whenever you come, she keeps staring at you and also keeps talking about you. I have understood that somewhere deep down she also likes you. Let me tell you one thing, it would be good if you marry that girl. See, he has his own house in Karachi. The shop is also his. If you get married to her then we will not have to pay rent for the shop and house. I would say, marry her. We will trap that girl and then later ask for her hand in marriage from her parents. I said, Mom, can I tell you something ? She started saying, tell me. I said when we used to live in Lahore and father used to live in Karachi then how did you manage your life? Now ever since

17:55 I came to Karachi, he does that same thing with you every day. I keep getting disturbed and restless after seeing this. My father is so lucky to have a beautiful wife like you. Then my mother started saying, you crazy person, don't ask such things. How many times have I forbidden you? I am not your friend. You can't talk to me about all kinds of things. It happens within limits. No one talks like this to his mother. I said, Amma, which era are you talking about? This is not the time when one should feel ashamed of one's parents. My mother said, you know a lot about this era. Till today you have not said anything like this. What has happened to you suddenly ? I said, Mom, till date I have never seen you people doing such work.

18:43 Ever since I started seeing you people. Since then, I have also started thinking that this is actually a very good job. My mother said, Imran, this is a bad thing. No one sees their parents in such a condition. So I said, Mom, I don't look at it intentionally. You guys should do this work during the day. I am at the shop during the day and anyway, it is summer nights. Our room is also closed so I am unable to sleep the entire night. Then I said, Amma, can I ask you something if you don’t mind? Are you happy with my father? Because you are very beautiful. This is a white letter. Many people are crazy about you. I used to watch it in Lahore. All the people from our neighbourhood used to look at you with

19:30 madness whenever they saw you. Your relation, father, is not at all worthy of your comparison. Abbu is a little weak and his complexion is also slightly dark. So my mother said that even if I am not happy, can any solution be found now? Now I have to spend my time with him. No matter what happens. I said, no no mom, it is not like that. If any father is being cruel to you then you can tell me. I will support you. My mother said, Imran, let me tell you a secret. I saw that my mother was now becoming comfortable with me and I myself wanted that she should share secrets with me. And our closeness should increase so that I can fulfill my heart's desires with him. I

20:16 said, yes mom, tell me what is the matter? My mother started saying that before marriage, I liked an uncle and had also done that thing with him. But my family forcibly got me married to your father. Initially, I used to meet him even after marriage. But one day your father saw it. He had strictly forbidden me and had even told my mother about it. So my family members also stopped me from meeting that person in future. But if I tell you the truth, I have not been able to forget that person till date. But he was my first love, that's why it has been many years now. I have not found it yet. You are right in saying that your father is not at all my match.

21:02 And neither do I feel like doing anything with them. Just what should I do now? That man did it to me for the first time. I had shared everything I had with him. I tried very hard to get married to her. I even left the house and followed him. We were hiding in another city for a week. But your grandmother's family found us and beat that man badly. Believe me Imran, I spent a week with that person and I have spent 20 years with your father. That's a huge leap forward for 20 years. As much peace as I got in that one week. I have never experienced such peace in my entire life. My mother kept talking and I was just listening. From Amma's

21:48 words I was able to guess one thing that the person was expert in that work. She was my mother, right? That's why she was not able to tell me openly. So I did not insist much. My mother told me that she also had that person's number but his number has been switched off for the last several years. When I asked my mother his name, my mother said that I cannot tell you his name. First you swear that you will not tell this to anyone. Then I will tell you. And yes, I have one more thing to do. Then I swore in front of my mother and assured her that I would not tell this to anyone. When my mother told him his name, he was a distant relative of ours and coincidentally he was living in Karachi these days.

22:35 So I told mother that he lives in Karachi. My mother said, yes, I also know that he lives in Karachi. If I ask you to believe me, I have come to Karachi so that I can find that guy. But I am at home all day and I don't know much about Karachi. Imran, you did a great job by asking me. Now you have to do one thing. Find that person's phone number somewhere. Let us call him and introduce me to him. I want to meet him once again. Now my mother's pain was in my hands and I was thinking of taking full advantage of it. Then I told my mother, I said you don't worry. I will find that person's number

23:22 and will definitely introduce you to him. But I also have a condition. My mother said, what should I tell you? I said no, I will tell you after you meet that person. But yes, now you promise that you will definitely accept my condition. My mother said, tell me the truth. Then we think whether she is going to agree or not. I said the bet is not that big. She is very small. I was thinking in my heart that I will introduce my mother to that person and then fulfill my wish. I will ask my mother to convince me too. When she meets that person because his secret will be revealed to me then she will be helpless. She will be ready to do my work. So my mother agreed. I said that I will find out today itself

24:08 where he lives and which number he is using. Then I came down to the shop. After coming to the shop I called my cousin. I told him the name of that uncle. I said, friend you must have his number. That cousin started asking me why do you want her number? He lives in Karachi. I also lied to him. I said yes, he lives in Karachi. That's why I am asking for his number. I have very important work with him. That cousin of mine said that I do not have his number. I will find it for you from somewhere. And then I told him that you should find it and give it to me. Then I switched off the phone and after 10 minutes I got a call from the same cousin. He said that he lives at such and such place in Karachi. And here is his number. When she

24:55 gave me her number, I first thought I should call her myself. But then I thought that he would not come when I called him; instead, he would get scared. Then I came up to my house and told my mother, congratulations, I have got both her number and address. My mother said, hurry up Imran, get her number. Anyway, your father has gone to Lahore for two-three days. So in these two-three days, I want to meet that person to my heart's content and quench my thirst of many years. Then I dialed her number and gave the mobile to my mother. The bull kept going but he did not pick up the phone. I called again but he still did not pick up the phone. My mother told me to meet him again. I said, Mom, he must be busy. If he sees the phone he will do it himself.

25:41 Then I sat down. Then I asked my mother and said, Mother, please tell me one thing. If you find that person today then you will love him deeply. If that guy agrees to marry you. So will you leave my father? My mother said, if I tell the truth, I did not want to marry your father in the first place. Even after marriage, I had told that person several times to take me away from here. But he is very scared. He is a decent guy, that's why he never had the courage. If he tells me, I am ready to go with him even today. Then I got a call from that uncle on my mobile. Then I received the call and gave the phone to my mother. When my mother introduced herself to him,

26:26 that man also became very happy. He started telling my mother that I also miss you a lot. I still love you. So my mother told him that we have also come to Karachi. So he should spare some time tonight and come to our house. He started asking, your husband has gone to Lahore, right? Yes, I found out. There had been an accident. I couldn't go because I was busy with work. My mother said, yes, that is why I am calling you. Then the man said tell me your address. My mother had no idea about that area. So my mother gave me the phone. He asked me to tell the address to that uncle. My mother told him to talk to my son. I greeted that uncle and then started telling him the address.

27:12 He started saying, yes, yes, I have seen that place. Where your father's shop is. My father's shop was here for many years. So he said okay I will come. But he told me that there is one thing, you should not tell your father that I came to your house. I told him, yes uncle, don't worry. No one who comes will know anything. Then I told mother that he is talking about coming tonight. Then my mother started telling me to bring something nice to cook. One more thing, I will not let him go tonight. So today please sleep downstairs at the shop. I said, no no mother, I will not sleep downstairs because it is hot and the shop gets closed. You should not worry. Then my mother said, you scoundrel, will you again see us,

28:00 what we are doing at night? Then I said what difference does it make. If I even see it. I already know what might be going on inside. Then my mother started feeling shy and said, ok go and bring something good. I said, Mom, please tell me what I should bring. My mother said, bring meat, bring sweets and also bring some fruits etc. Since we came to Karachi, today was the first time that my mother was cooking such good food at home and the reason for this was that uncle. The expressions on my mother's face were telling that she was very happy today. She had been waiting for this day for many years. But now I was a little worried in my heart. that what should I do? Because if I get my mother

28:46 set up with him then my work will become difficult. Then I came out. I bought all the things Mom told me about. By then it was already 8:00 at night. Then I got a call on my mobile. It belonged to the same uncle. He started telling me that I have reached your father's shop. I told him yes I am reaching in just 5 minutes. Then I left that stuff at home upstairs and came down to the shop. I had seen that uncle in my childhood so I did not remember his face properly. Today when I looked at her carefully, I felt very sorry for my mother. I did not see anything special in it that could be loved. That was an agitator. His complexion was

29:35 dark and he was very thin. Then I told that uncle, let me settle the accounts of the workers. Then we go home. By then it was already 9:00 pm. And then I closed the shop and came upstairs home. When my mother saw uncle, her eyes sparkled and she hugged him. He was not even aware that I was standing there with him. She remained in this condition for 5 minutes. I felt as if a thirsty person had found the entire ocean. Well then when we sat down uncle asked me what is your name? I told him my name. Then he said, you were very small when I last saw you. Now you have grown up.

30:22 My mother said, yes, it has been so many years. Then my mother started telling that uncle, I used to remember you every day and night, I wish I would have been married to you. But I noticed that the uncle was not talking openly to mother. Maybe he was feeling shy of me. He was looking at me again and again. I was just giving a superficial reply to mother. My mother was sitting there telling him old stories and it was already 11:00 at night. And both of them kept talking. Then my mother served the food. I have cooked this food for you with my own hands. You liked the yakhni pulao made by me very much, right? I was getting very surprised. My mother has never loved me this much till now.

31:09 Perhaps the craving for this thing is like this. That man had completely assured my mother. And then just like that it's already 12 o'clock at night. So my mother made tea. He gave us tea and told me to go and sleep in the kitchen. Now that uncle would sometimes look at my mother and sometimes at me. He was worried that how can my mother be so comfortable in front of me? So, I felt a bit weird. Then I confronted that uncle. I said don't worry. My mother told me about her wish. So I am his son, that is why I am just fulfilling his wish. Well, I came back to the kitchen. I spread a sheet, put a pillow and

31:54 slept but I was not supposed to sleep. Now the light was also on in the kitchen. If I had got up and looked at them, they would have known because there was light in the entire kitchen. So then I switched off the light. My mother called out asking why the light was switched off? got dark. Turn on the light. I said, Mom, I can't sleep in this much light. I do n't know whether my mother turned on the mobile torch or what she did? Only a little light could be seen coming into the room. Now it was pitch dark in the kitchen. I couldn't see anything in the kitchen. And then after some time my mother came. She closed the door of the room and went away. I was thinking that when they play this match, I will watch both of them.

32:39 But what is this? Then I checked the door and it was not locked. I was just standing there turning around like that. Then I slowly opened the door and peeked inside. When I looked, he was preparing to play the match. Today was the first time I was seeing my mother in such a condition and then whatever I saw, I cannot even tell you here. Just understand that the same scene was going on as in the movies and their voices were echoing in the entire room. He was not even aware that I was also sleeping in the kitchen. Maybe he was satisfied with me. So he repeated this process thrice during the night and then he remained awake till Fajr. I was

33:24 tired of looking at them. Now I was feeling very sleepy. So I went and slept. When I opened my eyes it was 10:00 in the morning. Today my mother did not come to pick me up. I was very surprised that every day my mother used to come to wake me up at 9:00 am. That go and open the shop. Maybe love is such a thing. After meeting, a person loses his senses and my mother was meeting him after so many years. Then I rang the doorbell and my mother came out. Her hair was dishevelled and her face clearly showed that my mother was tired. She worked hard all night. Then I said, Mom, I am going to the shop. I will come after opening the shop. Till then you all also get

34:10 ready and prepare breakfast. Then I will come back in an hour. I washed my hands and face and came to the shop just like that. When I came to the shop, the workers were standing outside. He was saying that we have been waiting for you for a long time. I also rang your doorbell but nobody opened it. Then I apologized to him. Then one of them said, I was about to call your father. Then I got scared. I said that if he had called father and told him that some uncle had come to our house at night, then father would not have known. Then I told him that it was okay, he could have knocked the door a little louder. Then I would get up. Well, I am not calling dad next time. This won't happen first,

34:56 and even if it does happen then protect the door tightly. Then I opened the shop and I set up the shop. Now I was thinking that uncle should leave today and I will stay with my mother tonight. Because my father was coming tomorrow. Then I thought that I should go and talk to mother that she should give me time today. The peace of home, part three. Even if I see it, I will know what is going on inside. Then my mother started feeling shy and said, okay go and bring something nice. I said, Mom, please tell me what I should bring. My mother said, bring meat, bring sweets and also bring some fruits etc. Ever since we

35:41 came to Karachi. Today for the first time my mother was cooking such good food at home. And the reason for this was that uncle. The expressions on my mother's face were telling that she was very happy today. She had been waiting for this day for many years. But now I was a bit worried as to what should I do? Because if I get my mother set up with him then my work will become difficult. Then I came out. I bought all the things Mom told me about. By then it was already 8 o'clock at night. Then I got a call on my mobile. It belonged to the same uncle. He started telling me that I have reached your father's shop. I told him yes I am

36:26 reaching in just 5 minutes. Then I left that stuff at home upstairs and came down to the shop. I had seen that uncle in my childhood. So I didn't remember his face clearly. Today when I looked at him carefully, I felt very sad. My mother and sister did not see anything special in her that she could be loved. That was an agitator. His complexion was dark and he was very thin. Then I told that uncle that I would settle the accounts of the workers. Then we go home. By then it was already 9:00 pm. And then I closed the shop and came upstairs home. When my mother saw uncle, her eyes sparkled and she hugged him. He was not even aware

37:15 that I was standing there with him. She remained in this condition for 5 minutes. I felt as if a thirsty person had found the entire ocean. Well then when we sat down uncle started asking me. What is your name? I told him my name. Then he said, you were very young. When I saw you last time. Now you have grown up. My mother said, yes, it has been so many years. Then my mother started telling that uncle, I used to remember you every day and night, I wish I would have been married to you. But I was noticing that the uncle was not talking openly to mother. Maybe he was feeling shy of me. He was looking at me again and again. I was

38:03 just giving a superficial reply to mother. My mother was sitting there telling him old stories and it was already 11 at night and they both kept on talking. Then my mother served the food. I have cooked food for you with my own hands. You liked my yakhni blog very much, right? I was getting very surprised. My mother has never loved me this much till now. Perhaps the craving for this thing is like this. That man had completely assured my mother and in this way it was already 12:00 in the night. So my mother made tea. He gave us tea and told me to go and sleep in the kitchen. Now that uncle would sometimes look at my mother and sometimes at

38:48 me. He was worried that how can my mother be so comfortable in front of me? So, I felt a bit weird. Then I confronted that uncle. I said don't worry. My mother told me about her wish. So I am his son, that is why I am just fulfilling his wish. Well, I came back to the kitchen. I spread a sheet, put a pillow and slept but I was not supposed to sleep. Now the light was also on in the kitchen. If I had got up and looked at them, they would have known. Because there was light in the entire kitchen. So then I switched off the light. My mother called out and asked why the light was switched off? got dark. Turn on the light. I said, Mom, I can't sleep in this much light. I do

39:34 n't know whether my mother turned on the mobile torch or what she did? Only a little light could be seen coming into the room. Now it was very dark in the kitchen. I couldn't see anything in the kitchen. And then after some time my mother came. She closed the door of the room and went away. I was thinking that when they play this match, I will watch both of them. But what is this? Then I checked the door and it was not locked. I was just standing there turning around like that. Then I slowly opened the door and peeked inside. When I looked, he was preparing to play the match. Today was the first time I was seeing my mother in such a condition. And then whatever I saw, I cannot even tell you here. Just understand

40:22 that the same scene was going on as it happens in the films. And their voices were echoing throughout the room. He was not even aware that I was also sleeping in the kitchen. Perhaps he was satisfied with me. So he repeated this process thrice during the night and then he remained awake till Fajr. I was tired of looking at them. Now I was feeling sleepy. So I went and slept. When I opened my eyes it was 10:00 in the morning. Today my mother did not come to pick me up. I was very surprised that every day my mother used to come to wake me up at 9:00 am and tell me to go and open the shop. Maybe love is such a thing. After meeting, a person loses his senses and

41:07 my mother was meeting him after so many years. Then I rang the doorbell and my mother came out. Her hair was dishevelled and her face clearly showed that my mother was tired. She worked hard all night. Then I said, Mom, I am going to the shop. I will come after opening the shop. Till then you all also get ready and prepare breakfast. Then I will come back in an hour. I washed my hands and face and came to the shop just like that. When I came to the shop, the workers were standing outside. He was saying that we have been waiting for you for a long time. I also rang your doorbell but nobody opened it. Then I apologized to him. Then one of them said, I was about to call your father. Then

41:53 I got scared. I said that if he had called father and told him that some uncle had come to our house at night, then father would not have known. Then I told him that it was okay, he could have knocked the door a little louder. Then I would get up. Well, I am not calling dad next time. This won't happen at first. And if this happens then knock on the door loudly. Then I opened the shop and I set up the shop. Now I was thinking that this uncle should leave today and I will stay with my mother tonight because my father was coming tomorrow. Then I thought that I should go and talk to mother that she should give me time today.
