Yaar! The force which I had bumped to Khalid with, was too humming ! I could feel the potency of the force.
He is such a vigorous person! his body was very stern! Even I got hurt when collided with him! but forgot my pain seeing his wound.
If someone else was at place of Khalid, would have been fallen on the ground on the spot.
Thank God! there was such a strong guy, who is that much stronger," Zinat is recounting what made her feel amazed.
Just then maid comes carrying a tray in her hands, containing two cups of tea and a few biscuits in it.
Immediately Ayesha take over the tray from her hands, saying thanks and puts it at the stool, standing before them.
Now they are shipping tea while viewing the beautiful sights, surrounding thier mansion.
They could gaze far away from their mansion's top balcony.
Everywhere is looking green because of the grains, vegetable's fields around the village.
The crops of wheat and mustard are waving along the wind in the farms. It's a light cold winter evening almost 4:00 pm.
Weather is pleasant .
There is a thin, serpentine river flowing away at the outskirt of the village. There is a play ground nearby the river.
A small crowd can be seen on the play ground, it seems the game of volleyball is being played.
"Hey! Ayesha, look at the play ground, sure it must be going on volleyball over there!" Zinat says excitedly.
"Yeah ! You are right they are playing volleyball, Khalid might be playing too.
He loves to play volleyball and he plays well," says Ayesha softly.
"Well! but how do you know ? That Khalid loves to play volleyball ! and he is a good player too!" Asks Zinat amazingly.
On hearing this Ayesha begins to laugh, " hey I know Khalid likes to play volleyball because Zaid has told me.
They both go to play volleyball in the evening every day.
"Ayesha explains Zinat.
" See Zaid's bike is not looking in his parking yard?" Ayesha says, pointing out towards Zaid's house.
" Yeah you are right, Khalid and Zaid are good friends," Zinat gets the point.
Actually Zaid is there neighbour, he lives in their neighbourhood.
His house is next to one house of Zinat's mansion.
Zaid is a best friend of Khalid.
His father is a very reputed lawyer in the whole region.
As Zinat and Ayesha are gossipping while witnessing the fascinating scenes of their village, sitting on the top balcony of their mansion.
Meantime they glance at a caravan of a few cars and jeeps.
"Hey! Ayesha your Papa is coming back from the city! Let's go downstairs!" Zinat whispers, patting over Ayesha's back.
Next they hurry to downstairs.
Ayesha's father, Asif Shaikh is a politician and current (MLA) member of assembly of his constituency, and his elder brother Azim Shaikh, who is Zinat's father runs an Inter-college along with doing business.
Both these two brothers are well known personalities in the region.
They own hundreds of acres of lands in the village. Zinat has one elder brother Azam and one younger Sister Ayat.
While Ayesha has two elder brothers. She is only daughter of her parents.
M.L.A. Asif Shaikh arrives at home with his party workers and members.
They all stay in the lawn of yard in front of the mansion.
They be seated on the chairs, settled in the lawn always.
That's when Mr Azim Shaikh also gets off from his jeep with his secretary and peon.
Everyone present in the lawn gets stood up in his honor. Both these Shaikh Brothers shake hands, then hug each other.
After that these Brothers get into the house. As they enter into the mansion, all members of the family are already present in the hall to greet them.
First of all they go to their widow Mother kiss her hands and caress her.
As they reach out to the mother, she blesses them.
Afterward they sit on the sofa calmly.
They drink some water and have few biscuits then Mr Asif Shaikh goes to his room saying, "I need to take shower."
Mr Azim is still sitting in the hall with his family along with his Mother.
On seeing after many days, Zinat embraced with her father quickly.
Her father gets glad seeing Zinat.
He pampers her, asks her about her study, "how is your study going on beta?" Zinat tells,"it's going well Daddy."
Till then six year old cute Ayat.
Comes to the Daddy, calling daddy daddy.
She holds dad's waist rightly with affection.
Ayat is too excited, seeing daddy after many days. Daddy dandles her patting her shoulder, calling her, " my doll my angel" etcetera. Then he takes out a full box of dairy-milk chocolate from his suitcase and gives it to Ayat.
Zinat hopping that daddy would take out next box for her.
But daddy shuts the briefcase after handing over the sole box to Ayat. Mommy is standing besides the dad's sofa, she is smiling too.
On seeing this Zinat makes a long face thinking "Daddy hasn't brought any thing for me !"
Looking at the strange expression on Zinat's face, daddy is not eligible to resist his laugh at the moment.
He starts laughing loudly.
Zinat finds Dad's laughter quite teasing.
It seems as if she is suppose to cry any moment just then Daddy insert his hand into his Jacket's jumbo pocket and take out two more flat jewelry boxes.
As Zinat glances over that boxes, her big eyes get shone with exaltation.
She heads to daddy speedily and takes over these boxes from dad's hands.
She is looking glad, immediately she opens the boxes curiously. There are splendid necklaces in both boxes, these are made of gold.
Ruby and Gemstones are inlaid on these necklaces, one is blue in colour while another one is in green.
"Daddy! Are these both awesome necklace for me?' asks Zinat excitedly.
"No! not at all, one is for you and the other one is for Ayesha.
She is also my Daughter," Daddy says humbly.
Knowing the mystery of these two necklaces, she runs to Ayesha carrying jewelry boxes with full excitement, shouting Ayesha ! Ayesha!
"Hey girl! look at these boxes! and guess what are these inside?"
"It seems these are jewelry boxes !" Ayesha speaks amazingly. She is confused, imaging what are these in that boxes?
Finally Zinat unlocks the boxes, and show her the precious necklaces. witnessing these beautiful necklaces Ayesha gets perplexed ! for a while.
"Daddy has brought these two necklaces from Delhi. One is for me, another one is for you," Zinat informs Ayesha, smiling large face.
"Wow! Wonderful! Screaming Ayesha takes the boxes in her hands. Staring at them for a few second, she picked up one of them.
The remaining one necklaces, which is in green colour Zinat takes. They both are superior excited, hurling, dancing with joy.
On other hand Khalid and Zaid have played volleyball.
They are coming back to home riding the bike.
As usual Zaid drops Khalid on the road in front of his house.
As soon as Khalid gets off the bike, he glances at Ammi standing at the entrance door's frame, looking at them affectionately.
"Salaam Ammi," Khalid greets then Zaid, " Salaam Aunty."
Ammi blesses both of them and invites Zaid to come in.
"No, no Aunty, I have to reach home as soon as possible, Mom must be waiting for me.
I will come in, some other day, Aunty," Zaid says politely.
"My son, you come every day here but never come in, at least have a glass of water,"
Saying this, Ammi orders Khalid, "Khalid stop your friend, and make him sit.
I am bringing some desserts to eat".
Khalid looking at Zaid, "yeah Ammi is right, you never stay here until I come out."
Immediately Khalid holds Zaid's hand and makes him sit on the wooden chair, then he himself sits on another one chair in the green yard in front of his beautiful house.
Blushing Zaid has sat in the yard seeing, Khalid and his Ammi's sincerity of their invitation.
Khalid and his family is not wealthy but they are generous and kind hearted people by nature.
