Allah certainly forgive all sins. So do not lose hope in Allah’s mercy. 😇
The sun was settled behind the clouds, announcing the darkness on its way to occupy the earth. The magrib azan was held. Dadijaan was reciting, 'subhana lillahi wa bihi hamdi" sitting on her regular spot, near the big glass window.
Dadajaan entered, with the support of his stick. He ran his eyes across the room and smiled at his wife's habit. Since the day they were married, Dadijaan choosed that spot as her favourite.
He smiled lovingly at her and cleared his throat gaining his wife's attention.
"Shireen.. tasbeeh puri ho gyi?" He asked softly.
Dadijaan nodded and stood up asking, "chai chada du apke liye?"
Dadajaan nodded in no and patted a space near him.
Dadijaan sighed and said, "boliye ... ab kya hukum h?" Dadajaan chuckled and said, "apne apni bhen ko bulaya tha.. kya jawab aaya?"
"Kaha jawab aya.. wo azamaisho me ghiri huyi h... Allah madad kare uski.. " said Dadijaan frowning.
Dadajaan squeezed her wrinkled hand and said, "azamaisho ke baad asaani h.. ap dobara koshish karna.."
"Agha sahab.. wo kahi humare bulawe ko apni rusawai na samjhe... " said Dadijaan shaking her head.
"Apno se bhala kha ruswai hoti h.. kher ap fikar na kare.. hum Hyzin ko bhejenge.. or ab ap apne hath ki kadak chai bana dijye..jise pii kar humari tabiyat me pur sukoon aa jaye" said Dadajaan making her chuckle.
"Baate bana koi apse sikhe" saying this Dadijaan stood up and went to kitchen.
Dadajaan sighed and thought, "Hum jante h wo yaha kyu nhi aa rahin h, kaash hum itne majboor na hote"

"Hyzin koi badmashi nhi" said Dadijaan to Hyzin instructing him to drive slow while going to village.
"Or ye masom chehre wala handsome ladka apko kaha se badmash lagta h?" He asked innocently.
Dadijaan chuckled and cupped his face.
"Mere bache.. ap bilkul apne Dadajaan par gye h" she said adoring his face.
"Tauba Astagfirullah... kya bekar comparison kiya h apne?" He said rolling his eyes. Dadijaan picked up a fork and he ran off winking at her, chuckling.
He got ready and ran downstairs. While his Dadijaan yelled from store room.
"Araam se Hyzin.. jald baazi na kare" she shouted but he just turned around to look at her and yelled back.
"Deeda.. bhar aaye.." he yelled soo loudly that she came running.
"Kya hua mere bache? Kher toh h?" She asked confusingly,.
"Kuch nhi bss apko dekhna tha.." he said smiling and kissed her forehead.
Dadijaan shooked her head.
He drove to the village. While his mind was thinking about his deeda and her twin sister and that secret between them.
He ran his hand in his silky-smooth hair, frustratingly.
His car entered the village. He parked the car near a small shop and asked about Haseena begum's house. The man leads him to a small hut. Where a old woman was lifting a muddy pot filled with water. It seems like she walked miles to get water.
"Haseena aapa..ye sahab apse milne aaye h" saod the shopkeeper and went back.
She turned around and Hyzin frozed. She was exactly like his deeda. She was his deeda's twin.
"Salam.. Me Agha Hassan ka pota hu.m Hyzin" he introduced himself.
A big smile captured her lips. She smiled and was about to hug him.. but stopped saying..."mere hath saaf nhi h... me abhi dho kar aayi... tum betho.. yaha.. yaha betho..." she said dusting a char pai woth her dupatta.
Hyzin felt a pain in his chest at her hospitality. He politely smiled and sat. If his friends would see his this polite site they would have faint!
She quickly washed her hands and ran inside the hut to bring a beverage for him. She brought a big glass of lassi for him and offered him.
"Aaj subha hi mene matha chalaya tha... piyo... ek dam taazi h" she said smiling.
Hyzin who was never soo found of milk items, didn't even wait for a minute and thanked her. Politely.
"Deeda ne apko bulaya h.. khabar toh hogi apko" he started the conversation.
The old lady smiled weakly and nodded, "koi jalsa h?"
"Bina jalse ke yaad nhi kar sakte kya apno ko?" Hyzin said looking at her in her eyes trying to read her pain.
She smiled with tears in her eyes.
"Aapa bulaye or me naa jau aesa nhi ho sakta.. batyiye beta kab ana h?" She asked with her cracked voice.
"Abhi chale mere sath.." he said sipping the world's best lassi ever.
"Abhi? Lekin Dil abhi tak ghar nhi aayi ... " she panicked.
"Koi nhi aane de unhe bhi" he said without knowing that Dil is 11 year old girl.
Meanwhile Dil came running and crying, she hugged the old lady from behind and sobbed harder.
"Amma .. amma wo Noor humpe.. khargosh chor rahi h.. wo hume kha jayega..." Dil sobbed continuously blabbering her own story.
Hyzin looked at her who's face was hided, than he looked at the old lady.
"Humari poti h" said Amma and cooed Dil.
Hyzin nodded and sipping his lassi he looked at the girl who was sniffing, a pure hatred was visible on her face. With her puffy red eyes and red nose.
"Dil.. chup ho jao.. or tayar ho jao.. " said Amma.
"Kyu? Hum khargosh ko tayar hoksr pakdenge?" She asked innocently.
Hyzin choked on his lassi and coughed.
"Nalayak... beta araam se" said amma and patted Hyzin's back.
"Me thik hu, amma" said Hyzin assuring amma.
"Ye kon bin bulaye mehman h?" Aske dil and Hyzin narrowed his eyes at her.
Amma glared at her for being this battamizzz infront of a guest.
"Mehman h.. aese nhi bolte.. or salam karo" said amma.
"Walykum asslam... mera Naam Dil h.." she said glaring back at him.
Amma facepalmed, as out of habit she would say salam reverse.
"Or tume khargosh se darr lagta h" said Hyzin nodding his head. Dil nodded her head furiously.
Amma smiled and went inside to pack stuff.
"Ap h kon wese?" She asked out of curiosity.
"Tume kyu btao?" Said Hyzin not knowing what to tell her.
"Toh fir chale jaye yaha se... " she said glaring at him.
"Nhi jata.. or jaonga toh iss khargosh ko lekar hi jaonga" he said pointing at her.
Dil scrunched her nose and said, "me nhi na khargosh"
She stomped her feet and glaring at him she went inside.
Somehow, Hyzin was smiling.
