Goshkari House

Here Ahmed Yasir Goshkari with his Wife Anusuya Ahmed and his Daughter Rumaisa Meherunnisa Goshkari lives.....

Morning 8:30

Anusuya was in kitchen making breakfast while muttering something. "Yeh ladki mujhe pagal karke rakhegi ek din."

(This girl will make me mad one day )

"Ahmed....." Anusuya called her husband while making Aloo Paratha.

"Jii Biwi bataye...." He replied while back hugging her.

( Yes Wifey say )

"Ahmed...... Jakar Rumi ko uthaiye. Usne kaha tha 10 baje use office jana hai aur sehzaadi uthi nahi ab tak" Anusuya said while flipping her Aloo paratha .

(Ahmed , go and wake Rumi . She told me that she has to go Office by 10 but she hadn't woke up till now. )

"Aslam Walyekum baba aur Mama " Rumaisa greeted her parents. While they parted away and replied.

Ahmed kissed Rumi's forhead and asked " Aaj konsi imp. Meeting hai jo itni hadbadi hai ? "

( What important meeting you have today that you are in haste )

"Baba aaj bohut imp. Meeting hai foreign investors ke saath" She said while dipping a piece of her aloo paratha in her sweet curd.

( Baba , today I have a very important meeting with foreign investors )

Rumi finished her breakfast and hugged her father who kissed her forhead and then she hugged and kissed her mother's cheek and went to her house garage. She took her car and went to her office.

She is a fashion designer and owns a chain of fashion house called HERITAGE .

But today she went to her main office from where she administrate every work with meeting.

Her office

She entered her office where she met her PA Humaima.

"Asalam Walyekum Boss" Humaima greeted Rumaisa.

"Walekum Asalam Huma " She replied her with a smile and then she proceeded to her cabin. While going to her cabin other employees also greeted to her out of respect to which she replied them with a smile. She is respected by everyone in her office as she is not like other bosses who scold them for their silly mistakes.

Her Cabin

She reached her cabin and Huma detailed her about the meeting. She has only one meeting .

After some times the investors arrived and she went for meeting. When meeting finished she with Huma returned to her Cabin. When they entered the cabin they Saw Momin was sitting on one of the couch.

When Momin Saw Rumi and ruffled her hair to which she glared. Huma gave the file to Rumi and returned to her Cabin which was just beside Rumi's Cabin.

"So , case ka kya hua ? " Rumi asked while taking her place infront of her table.

( So , what about the case ? )

"Wahi jo un kamino ka hona chahiye tha ." Momin replied with a smirk . (Momin is an criminal Lawyer )

( Just the same those bastards should get )

"Good" Rumi said while engrossimg herself in some files.

Like this they talked, actually Momin Talked while Rumi replied to him in monosyllabic. When Momin saw this he decided to ask but couldn't as his phone pinged with a message. He had an imp. Meeting about a case so he went.

In evening Rumaisa decided to leave for home. She went to Humaima's cabin and asked her to leave for her home if she finished her works. She replied in affirmative and they both went outside to the parking lot. After bidding "Khuda Hafiz" to each other Humaima drove her Scooter and Rumaisa went in her car .

While returning she reached a lake which was owned by Gashkori ancestors. She sat on a bench and thought about her life and a lone tear rolled down her eyes.

RUMAISA'S POV •••

Again I saw the same dream. Mujhe samjh nahi aa raha hai iska matlab kya hai. Pichle 10 saal se yeh dream muje baar baar ata hai aur sirf ek hi scene.

( I don't understand what does this mean. For the last 10 years this dream comes to me again and again and only one dream )

HER DREAM

She was sitting on a wooden bridge of a lake which was surrounded by fog. A man was standing near her but after sometimes he left her there. When she saw him by turning back she could see his back . She turned front and cried her heart out. She felt like someone was snatching her soul from her body.

BACK TO RUMAISA'S POV •••

" Ya Allah please mujhe koi rasta dila dein. Main bhatak rahi hoon. Jabse woh sab hua main bhatak rahi hoon. Mujhe pata nahi main sahi kar rahi hoon ya nahin. Lekin maine jo socha hai woh main karungi." I thought silently while deciding this. After sometimes I drove to home .

( Ya Allah please show me some way. I am wandering ever-increasing all that happened . I don't know whether I am doing right or not but I will do what I have decided. )

I opened the door with a spare key and entered the lounge. I wished loudly " Asalam Walyekum" . Got replied in a chorus " Walyekum Aslam"

I went to the main hall and saw Mama , Baba , Asfi Bhai , Zubiya Bhabi , Rukhsar Phupho , Usmaan Phupha , Parishey Phupho , Momin and last but not the least My lifeline....................Ayudh.

Seemed like a mini get together. I wished and hugged everyone with a huge smile to which they reciprocated

with same smile . I am everyone's favourite. Why won't be as I am the only girl in the younger generation.

"Chalo bachha jakar fresh ho jao" Ammi said to me to which I obliged and went to fresh up .

( Go dear get freshed )

I came back to the hall and saw everyone is chitchatting . I went and sat near Momin and he patted my back but very harshly . I couldn't do anything as Ammi was sitting infront of me and watching me with hawk like eyes that what will I do next.

Momin and me are Bestfriends, Cousins and Crime partners from the day we born. We are born on same day but difference is that he is 4 minutes older then me. To this Mama says me to call him Bhai which I don't. We are like Tom & Jerry who fights with each other for silly reasons but we know each other more than anyone. We are each other's secret keeper.

We both were friends till 7 grade but in 7 std we met Samyukta and from there we 3 are inseparable.

Samyukta is not here as she had to attend a family function to which she hates.

Actually we all hate gatherings. We are like extrovert for them to whom we want to be with . Like for families only we are extrovert.

So back to the scene.......I so wanted to smash his face but can't. Mumma is watching me..

And then the time comes.....Mumma went to kitchen with both my puphos and I began to pull his hair out to which he called for Ammi .

Ammi came and scolded me . " Bada bhai hai tumhara Rumi . Yeh kya kar rahi ho. Koi izzat nahi ? "

(He is your elder brother . What are you doing with him ? Give some respect)

I replied " Sirf char minute se to bada hai aur kyun izzat ammi aisa konsa teer mar liya isne. "

( Only by 4 minutes , he is elder than me . And why respect , what great works did he do ? )

Ammi glared me and went to kitchen. I so love to rile up Mumma. She will scold me but deep down we both know that We love each other so not a problem.

Now my lifeline came to me.

"Pupo ! Pupo ! " Ayudh called me .

"Ji meri jaan" I replied while pulling him to my lap.

(Yes My life )

"Ake" He said. He meant to go for a drive near the lake. As we both love the place very much and I often goes there when I am sad.

"Ok Meri Jaan " I replied and took his jacket along with mine and Momin tagged along with us.

(Ok My Life)

I informed Ammi and Baba to they asked me to come back soon as it's cold here and I am prone to cold .

We bid our byes and drove to the lake. While going we purchased 2 coffee for us and a chocolate for Ayudh.

We reached there and saw some ducks are near the ground. He played with them and a Rabbit came to him.

We have many pets there but we didn't caged them . They came there and stayed there.

I and Momin sat on the ground near Ayudh to keep an eye on him .

Ayudh was playing and laughing loudly . We were also playing with him.

After some times Momin asked " Firse wohi Sapna ? "

( Again that dream ? )

To which I just hummed while busy looking at Ayudh.

He sighed and patted my head softly and assured me " Sab thik ho jayega " .

( Everything will be alright )

He knew there is more than the dream which I don't speak to anyone. He is well aware of my inner turmoils. As I said we know each other more than anything.

To change these all I asked " Toh ! Rina ka kya hua ? "

( So what about Rina )

He said while chuckling "Wohi jo har baar hota hai."

( The same what always happens)

He is a big flirt . He flirts with everygirl he sees. But he does healthy flirting. If someone agrees with him he already says her that he is not into Boyfriend Girlfriend wala relationship. He can only be a friend and they goes for friendly outings .

Ayudh came to me and gave rhe chocolate to me which he didn't opened earlier.

"Pupo" he called me and handed me the chocolate. He is 2 year old and just learned to speak. He can only say few words.

I opened it and gave him. We trio sat there and saw the lake which was shining under the moon and dim lantern type electric lights.

Momin and I were enjoying the lake while Ayudh was eating chocolate. He was eating less and smashing the chocolate in his hand and and face.

He likes to eat at his own . He don't give chocolate to anyone.

When he finished it , he said " Choki " . Momin brought a water bottle from the car and I washed his Hands and face . We went to the car. I gave keys to Momin and he drove while I sat on the passenger seat and Ayudh in back seat.
