Khizaan

Chapter 2

(I've tried everything, nothing worked. I think this phone is really old now. Hayder, buy me another with 5g speed.)

The trio hide their smiles, all of them were still using their old phones with 4g speed, and Hanif Mirza's phone was new which he got last year and in just one year, he wanted new model.

"Ji, baba, le aunga, pehle aap nashta kar lein." Hayder nods his head.

(Okay, baba, I will get another phone for you.)

"Waise yeh subah subah niche kya shor ho raha tha? Sab theek hai?" Hanif Mirza put his phone away and asked.

(Why was there noise downstairs? Is everything okay?)

"Kuch nahi, baba, wahi Hyra aur Uswa shararat karne se kaha baaz ati hain." Hayder didn't give Hanif Mirza all details, it wasn't needed as everyone know how Uswa and Hyra are.

(Nothing, Baba, it was just Hyra and Uswa's another mischievous.)

"Bachhiyan hain. Ab woh shararat nahi karengi toh kya main aur Asiya bhabhi karenge. Tum bachhiyo se zyada sakhti se na baat kiya karo." Hanif Mirza advised.

(They are kids. If they won't do mischievous then who will do?)

"Lekin, baba, unhone meri car pe sara kachra daal diya tha."

(But, baba, they've ruined my car.)

"Apki car pe? Papa ki car pe?" Kubra asked. "Yeh Uswa din ba din aur badtameez hoti ja rahi hai."

(Your car? Papa's car? Uswa is getting out of hands these days.)

"Uswa nahi Hyra thi." Hayder informed them.

(It was Hyra not Uswa.)

"Hyra? Usme toh khargosh jitni himmat hai, uska kaam nahi hai yeh. Uswa hogi, Bhai." Shahzaib put forward his opinion.

(Hyra? She has courage of a rabbit, she can not do that. It must be Uswa.)

"Haan Hyra toh nahi karegi. Uswa ne hi kiya hoga aur Hyra ko fasa diya." Kubra nods her head in agreement. And soon, Kubra and Shahzaib started talking about Uswa and her pranks.

(Yeah, Hyra can't do that. Must be Uswa and she must have trapped Hyra.)

"Achha, Dawar, aaj sham mein jaldi ajana." When Rabia saw Dawar was done with his breakfast and was about to get up, she told him.

(Dawar, come home from office early tonight.)

"Kyu?"

(Why?)

"Bhool gaye? Aj hume tumhare sasural jana hai shadi ki tareekh rakhne."

(You forgot? We have to go to Laraib's house to decide the date for your wedding.)

"Mujhe toh nahi jana. Main jaldi akey kya karunga?"

(I am not going there, why should I come early?)

"You sound jealous." Uswa whispers in her brother's ear, and received a scowling from him.

"Ghar mein koi bada hoga nahi baba aur amma bhi humare sath ja rahe hain, inn bachho ko kon samnhalega?" Rabia didn't hear what Uswa said and continue telling him.

(No elder will be at home, who will look after kids?)

"Mummy, main. Main hoon na. Main sambhal lungi Sami ko." Uswa said in hurry, pointing at herself.
