Mansur, wake up. It’s time to get up. Wake up. I don’t feel like waking up. That’s the case every day; now please wake up. What does it matter if I don’t wake up today?

Why did you bother to trouble yourself so much? You should have taken off a few more days! Baji, my husband

wasn’t well. Your husband is always unwell. You’ve made it your duty to be absent from work at least one to two days every Month. Quickly now make the tea for Saab, and get the breakfast ready for Sofie… also go and see if Sofie is ready or not! Okay Baji. There is a pile of clothes to be washed, so make sure you do all of them today! Tell Akhtar to get all the meat today and ask Usman to separate it into packets! …And if Akhtar Saab doesn’t turn up today, then phone me; I’ll get it on the way

back from the office. It seems having servants, or not having them is the same thing nowadays…! Not having them is probably better… at least one knows where one stands! Riffat! Riffat! Bring Sofie quickly! She hasn’t even had her breakfast yet Riffat! Hello? Salamwalekum Saied Saab… Yes? I will be at the site by 10 a.m. No, no… don’t worry, I’ll be on time. I beg your pardon? No, I’ll ask myself. You don’t worry. Sofia baby, shall I put some Ovaltine in your milk? No, I don’t want anything. Ha

ve you brought breakfast? Quickly run and get it! Hurry up! Sorry Saied Saab, what were you saying? Yes, alright. Okay, okay! Khuda Hafiz. Riffat, bring Saab’s breakfast! Hurry up now! Okay Baji. Riffat hurry up, Sofie’s getting late. What’s wrong my love? What happened? Same thing that happens every day! These kids are never happy going to school! Mummy, I hate you. Yeah, yeah! Everyone hates Mummy! Riffat!!! Bring Saab’s breakfast as well! Sofie is also getting late! Yes, Baji. Tea. Thank you.

Hasn’t Hameed come in today? No, remember I told you he was taking leave. Oh yes, I remember now. Breakfast will be ready in 20 minutes! I asked you to wake me up early today. I’m going to be late now! I did wake you up early, you yourself didn’t get up. It’s not my fault. Mummy, I don’t want to eat this. Sofie, stop your whining and finish your breakfast! Hurry up now, come on. Okay at least have your corn flakes… come on No, I don’t want the corn flakes either. You try to feed her something a

t least, please! Should I have breakfast, or should I feed her now! Why do you always put this responsibility on me??? I’m not making you responsible for anything! All I’m asking is for you to feed your daughter some breakfast today, as it is I do so every day! You are her mother! That’s what mother’s are for, Yaar! That’s your responsibility! Excuse me, don’t tell me about my responsibilities, okay! I know I am her mother, but you too are her father! Doesn’t the father mean something also? It’s

not necessary that we have to fight and argue at the breakfast table! I’m not fighting with you, only trying to make you realize! …Which is of course useless! You know what? You’ve just gotten into the habit of creating a fuss! You’re the most irresponsible woman that I have ever come across. Nothing and nobody can make you happy! And you make me so happy!!! Sofia, finish your breakfast now! I’m warning you! Riffat!? Riffat, come here quickly and make Sofia finish her breakfast! Did you speak t

o Shandana? Yes, she called. a When is she coming over? She said she’d come over the weekend. Good. The place will be cheerier with her coming. Otherwise you must be fed up seeing my face all the time? Now that’s not true. If there is a cheerful atmosphere, it will benefit both of us. Yes, I guess if someone visits us at this age of our lives, the house does get a lot livelier .. The quietness ends. You’re the one who insists on living here, otherwise the kids have been asking us to move in with

them for some time now. As it is, living elsewhere at this stage of life is not possible. …And then there is a major difference between living in one’s own house and one’s children’ houses. Yes, you’re right about that. This is the reason I am sitting here next to you, otherwise Mateen wouldn’t let me come. Mateen cannot forcibly stop my wife. You mean to say he couldn’t stop his mother. You are my wife first and Mateen’s mother after! Yes, he is my darling. Are you saying I’m not? …Aren’tI? A

re you going to compete with your children now??? I’m not the one competing, you are the one that’s doing so. So you love Mateen more than you love me? People are right when they say that one become like a child in old age. You are behaving like a child now. Fine, I am behaving like a child. …But you still have to tell me as to who you love more. I don’t like your attitude Sofie! And I don’t like you! Just stop it okay. I’m sick of this ‘Mummy, I don’t like this, Mummy, I don’t like that’. I onl

y love Daddy. I don’t care! Hello? Yes. I emailed it to you. Yes, so just check it out. Check it out. …I’ll be there in 15 minutes. Okay? Fine, fine. What about my kiss? Aren’t you going to give your Mummy a kiss? Yes, okay… fine, fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah… I’m just coming. Jamal, get ready. We’re leaving for the site in 10 minutes. I’m already ready. Okay, I’ll just come then. I’m going to the bank now and will go to the library after that! When will you be back? I’ll be back late. You’ll be ba

ck by lunch time, won’t you? I’ll be having lunch with Habib and Adil today; there are some guests over from Dubai, with whom we have a meeting. Salamwalekum! Good Morning! Did you have a look at the presentation? Yes, I did and it’s fine. Oh, thank God! I thought perhaps it might have a few problems. I’m going to the site now. You’re going wearing these bathroom slippers??? Oh God!!! I just didn’t think to change my shoes. Doesn’t matter. Here you can wear my shoes. Thanks Fatima. I should be b

ack in an hour. Doesn’t matter even if you aren’t, as everyone in the office knows who wears the bathroom slippers in the office. Bye. Alright then, Khuda Hafiz. Take care of yourself. Be careful now. I will no doubt be careful, after all I can’t dare to do anything else at this stage in my life. Let’s move now. Mummy, I hate you and I don’t like you.” You’re the most irresponsible woman that I have ever come across. Nothing and nobody can make you happy!” I’m very lucky to have a wife like Dur-

e-Shehwar. True. There are very few women like Bhabhi. What’s amazing is that Bhabhi’s habits aren’t spoilt, despite living with a man like Mansur. That’s true. It is amazing. Gentlemen, there is one thing though; Bhabhi has actually managed to straighten out Mansur, and keep him in line. The fact is that I was always straight and in line, but she didn’t let me stay that way! My wife is always taunting me about how lucky Mansur’s wife is to get a husband like Mansur, who really appreciates he

r. And we had to see the day where Mansur’s example is given. People should not give Mansur’s example, but Dur-e-Shehwar’s. Also do some work sometimes. Half your day goes by in these romantic messages. Don’t you have any work apart from sending messages all day? I also feel he has no other work in his office. I’m truly amazed that Haider doesn’t message or call you at work even once in the whole day. Fatima, when one’s been married 7 years, then messages only come when it has to do with either

some important errand or during an emergency. That’s not necessarily true. My sister’s been married 15 years, and she and her husband manage to send at least 50 messages a day to each other … and besides you had a love marriage. Your sister is very lucky. As am I. I’ve been looking all over the house for you, and you and you’ve been sitting out here. I was just about to get up. You came back early? Yes, I got back sooner. What were you doing? I was just looking at some old things. What old thing

s? Some valuable stuff. Is there anything more old or valuable than me in this house? I just increased your salary 2 months ago! Again you’ve come asking for more! You, yourself should try to understand! And then if I increase your work even by a bit, you start finding excuses not to do it! What to do Baji; I can’t survive on this much. Everyone manages on this much, except you! Now if I were to increase your pay, Riffat too, will come demanding more! Now go and do your work, please. Sofie! Sofi

e! Come quickly; I’m waiting here with your home work! Hurry up! Good girl! Two Stars! Well done! What did Baji say? What will Baji say? These employers are only concerned about themselves! They are never concerned for poor people like us. I’d already told you. But I will still speak to Baji again about this in a couple of days. And if Baji doesn’t agree, what then? If she doesn’t agree, then it doesn’t matter; I’ll just go find another house to work in! Keeping these wives happy is quite a di

fficult job; especially if one’s wife is a working woman. But wasn’t yours a love marriage? Yesss… love…marriage. When does the love stay after marriage. …Especially if one’s wife is independent and arrogant. All these working women want to dominate their husbands. They try to control them. You’re painting a real gruesome picture regarding marriage. Seems as if you really regret marrying Shandana? What will you have to eat? Shall we order now? Yes, okay. For how many days is Shandana coming? She

didn’t tell me. Perhaps only for a week; she won’t get off from work for longer than that I guess. She’s working unnecessarily; she should have stayed at home at her ease. Haider too has a good enough job, she needn’t have bothered working… And anyways I am against women working unnecessarily. You’re the one who got her educated; and besides, didn’t she start working when she was at our home and unmarried. That’s because she was free the whole day; and besides getting her a good education was m

y duty. Okay so now don’t start on this in front of her, else she will feel hurt. No, no. I was just saying it for her benefit; I don’t like to see her getting pushed around in these offices. She doesn’t get pushed around. She’s working in a job of her choice and she’s very happy at it. Don’t you remember, she used to draw pictures in her childhood? And then later she went and constructed houses for all the animals and pets that she had. Do you remember? And she was so intelligent… by the age of

6 or 7, she’d made houses for all the animals! The first time she painted a house, it didn’t look as if it was the first time she’d done it. Yes, Masha Allah, our daughter was very intelligent. Sofia, too, is also just like her mother! When Shandana tells me things about Sofia, I feel as if Shandana’s childhood is being relived in front of me. Daughter’s are a great gift; the life and soul of a home. A mother and father’s sense of peace and happiness is because of them. Daughters are never a bu

rden for their parents. They are the life and soul of the house… they are the peace and happiness of the home. They chirp like little birds in the midst of their courtyard… And they make a lot of noise, pick at their grain and one day… they fly off. That is all the time dear…. that is there in their parent’s home… Dur-e-Shehwar? Shehwar! What are you thinking? Nothing. I just thought of someone. Who did you think off? Abba. So what program have you planned? Program planned, for where? I told y

ou we have to go to my mother’s. Yes, so you go. So aren’t you going with me? You said you would go. Yes, but there’s too much work. What work? There was no work before, so where has this work come up from? Well now there is work. Haider, I’ve told Papa that you’re coming, okay. That’s your problem, not mine. What will Papa think? He’s an intelligent, educated man who has worked all his life, he knows what is the scene with jobs nowadays. Do you know how long it’s been since we both went on a ho

liday together… as a family? It’s been ages! So? What do you mean so? What will we do? What do you mean, what will we do? What about after that? What do you mean by, ‘What about after that’ Haider? After that the same thing will happen, that is happening now… so why waste time. What is happening now? Why try to waste time… Don’t you have any time for your wife and child? Please… now what… Okay fine if not for the wife, do you have time for your child at least? Is it also really necessary that yo

u have to irritate me. Please… go and go to sleep. You’re playing Solitaire! Yes, I need my brain even for that. You have so much work that you have to now play Solitaire for that. It’s necessary. You have no time for your daughter, but you have time for Solitaire! It’s necessary. Yes, it’s very necessary, so I can see!!! Fool! Shandana is now well settled. She’s very happy. Masha Allah. She’s coming here over the week end. Really? Yes, yes. Do bring her over to my place when she comes. Yes, yes

. I will bring them over, Shandana and Sofia. Yes, of course why not. Whenever Feri calls, she always asks after Shandana. Really? Yes, after all they have been friends. Tell me, when is Feri coming to Pakistan? She has no plans at present. Is Shandana still working, or has she left her job? No, she’s still working; she’s happy in it. Really? Yes, and she has a good job. Very good. Feri left her job. But why? The situation was such… Her husband and she just couldn’t build an understanding. She w

as under a great deal of stress, so that’s why she left the job. And here I was thinking that Feri had settled down so well in life. She was alright for 2 to 3 years; after that she hasn’t been happy with him. What is the problem? They have no compatibility. Now that they have children, she has to make the best of what’s left of the marriage. The clothes haven’t been altered as yet. They should be ready by day after tomorrow, so you can come and collect them yourself. We need to get some more fr

uit on the way. What do you mean, the fruit is finished again? There was a little left so I gave it to Salima. Sofie had asked for Chocolates, show me where to get them from. We can get them from ahead. You didn’t remind me about the utility bills. I kept them on your table, didn’t you see them there? No. Haider, the installment for the plot is also due. I know. I’ll get it done. So tell me when is the jubilee of your gold anniversary? We’re not that old! We still have a few years left. Okay.

So tell me when is our golden jubilee? Ours is not for years! Really. Why are you so worried??? And as it is when do you ever remember it? You never remembered the previous one, nor the one before that! Have you ever remembered it ever??? Men are forgetful in these matters! Is that right? Shehwar does Mansur Bhai also forget? No, he mostly remembers. If he forgets sometimes for some particular reason then that is another matter, owever, he does try to keep things in mind. You must also learn som

ething from Mansur Bhai! Alright, I’ll try to remember this year! I promise! You don’t just have to remember, but you also have to give a gift. Does Mansur Bhai remember to give you a gift on such occasions? Yes, yes, of course he remembers! In fact, he gives me so many gifts throughout whole year that if he doesn’t give me any on our anniversary, it doesn’t make a difference. And so he should! But he must give a gift on the anniversary; it is a special occasion! By the way Mansur Bhai, what gif

t did you give on your last anniversary? You gave me a handbag didn’t you? Have you forgotten? See, he gave me the gift and now she doesn’t even remember. That’s amazing! He gives a gift and then forgets!? Out here, people just forget to even give a present… So how long are you going for Shandana? The plans are for one week at least, but let’s see I might just increase it to more. So take Haider Bhai with you, after all what’s he going to do out here without you? Mmm…There’s lots to do. I will m

anage something or the other. Haider’s not interested in anything other than his work. Since when is that the case Shandana, Haider used to be interested in In fact everything he had to do was to do with Shandana! Well… those were stupid times. Are you calling Shandana a stupid effort? Shandana isn’t the stupidity; Shandana is stupid. Shandana was complaining about you. She’s always complaining; it’s her favorite activity. It’s only a matter of a week. Why don’t you also accompany her? What are

you going to do here all alone? There’s lot’s to do out here! I will do something or the other. It’s a matter of a whole week. You’ll get fed up looking at empty house. And you’re not even used to getting a glass of water yourself! So where am I alone in the house, the maid’s there, she’ll do all the work. For Haider, there’s no difference between the maid and Shandana. If the maid’s there, then it doesn’t matter whether Shandana’s there or not. A maid isn’t really necessary to life; I do manage

to do the work myself. So it isn’t compulsory for me, as even if I don’t have the maid I’ll cope. You don’t know how to even boil an egg! You don’t know how to iron your own clothes. Keeping the towel in the correct place… you have no idea. You don’t even know where the tea things are in the kitchen! So then isn’t having a maid compulsory for you? I don’t think so! I thank God that Waqas, at least now, does his own chores. I have no tensions with regards to how Waqas is managing if I’m not ther

e. You’re very lucky then! Haider can’t even swat a fly in the house, and he comes back from office every day as if he’s climbed Mount Everest. But you know all men are the same. That’s not true. Don’t put me in this category. When do I come back from office and lie back with my feet up? Where are my glasses? I’d kept them there only… in the drawer. I looked in the drawer several times but I didn’t see it. You can’t even see the thing that’s in front of you. It’s the age. That’s not true; it jus

t happens. You used to forget things even when you were younger, so it’s not just about old age. You’re right, I used to forget even then… like our wedding anniversaries. Why did you lie at Habib’s house? Why, should I have then embarrassed you there? You have embarrassed me all my life. Really? You never mentioned it before? Men don’t know how to say a lot of things. I know. You should, however, remember to give a gift. Yes, I will now try to remember; although remembering is a difficult thing.

To forget, is even more difficult. I’ll get just your glasses for you. Why did you have to bad mouth me over there. I wasn’t bad mouthing you, I was stating a reality. You don’t have to be so in love with being realistic. Keep your realities to yourself! Its alright for you to say whatever you want, but if I say something it becomes a sin? Look if you’re going to say something about me, then I too will say something about you. So say it! Say it. Who’s stopped you? Say whatever you want to say

. At present all I want to say to you is… that you need to keep your mouth shut! What kind of rude manner is this that you are speaking to me? I am speaking to you in the manner that you deserve! Had I known before as to how illiterate you were, I would never have married you. If you regret marrying me so much, then leave me! Leave you? Leave you now! Yes, leave me now!
