Behind

when he got information about something what was going on behind........................

"oye Fahi kahaan hai tu, idhaar dekh"(ohhh Faji where are you, see there)

"haan haan"(yes, yes)

and he turned towards camera to click pic.

"acha main bus ek miute mein aaya"(ok i am coming just in a minute), as Irfan turned to talk him, he said and ran towards Shela who was walking forwards towards the main building where once was the classrooms of engineering.

As he entered from a very small entrance to have chin wag with her, the crowd of students gathered around him and roaring "aray Faji bhai, yeh tou aap hain!!"(ohh Faji bro, it is you!!)

"Faji bhai, aap bohat acha khailtay ho"(Faji bro, you play so good)

"Faji bhai, humein bhi sikhayein na"(Faji bro, please teach us too)

"Faji bhai tasveer khichwaye na humaray saath"(Faji bro, please take a pic with us)

and pushed him outside near stage and took picture with their hero at any cost.

-"okay tou ab main jaon, aur kuch"(okay so can I go now, anything else)

"nahi ab kuch nahi Fajad bhai"(not anything now Faji bhai), a loud voice of a cute boy of 1st grade dominated.

-"Oye Roy yeh tu hai"(ohh Roy its you), he knelt down suddenly when he saw his friend in a little "kaisay ho meray cheetay"(how are you my cheetah)

"theek hoon, par aap sey bohat naaraz hoon"(i am fine, but i am angry with you), his curly brown hair bombarded on his and moved away from his face.

-"par kyun"(but why)

"kyunk aap mujh sey milne nahi aate, van bhi nahi, Shaam bhai se milne aate hain par mujh sey nahi"(because you never come to meet me, no even in van, you even come to meet Shaam bro but not to me)

-"ooh sorry", he walked on his knees, turning around at his right to come face to face with the guy who in anger turned around away from him. "sorry yaar, bhool gaya tha", while holding his ears he said.

"nahi"(No), cute little boy turned his face at left from him a bit, his crossed hands, turning face, bending ddown llips were expressing his anger

-"itna gussa"(soo much anger)

"jee"(yes)

-"acha please maan jao"(please accept my sorry)

"nahi"(no)

-"mere baap sorry, ab tou maan jao......dekho main tumharay liye kiya laya hoon"(okay my father sorry, now please get pleased......see what i have brought for you), the hand in pocket cameout with chocolates and toffees shopper.

"ok Faji bhai, aap bohat achay ho"(ok Faji bro, you are very good), the boy kissed his brother and ran with all chocolates and toffees.

"tou yeh tha tera kaam"(so it was you work), Irfan, who was seeing him laughing and talking, said.

"acha ek minute ka tou time dey"(okay now give me a minute time)

and he ran in the building.

                                                                                      -

-"oohtou finally pohanch hi gaya"(oooooh finally i have reached anyway)

"kyun kiya hua"(why what happen)

-"kuch nahi, bacho ne pakar lia tha"(nothing children caught me)

"tou yeh baat hai"(ohh so that is the point)

-"haan yahi point hai, woh bachay rukawaat banay meray liye aap tak pohanchne mein, issi tarhan aap rukawat bani mere enjoyment mein"(yes that is the point, that chldren became barrier for me in reaching towards you, in the same way you were barrier in my path of enjoyment)

"main??"(me??)

-"jee, aap"(yes, you)

"par kaisay??"(but how??)

-"aisay k aap aaj kuch ziyada hi barh charh k bol rahi thi meri favour mein, kabhi siyah aur safaid ka topic lay kar, tou kabhi keh rahi thi himmat hai tou saamne aao aur kiya kaha tha aap ne.................haan k hum tooti hui talwaron k saath barde huay hain, jeet aur haar hum sey behtar koi nahi janta, aur ek aur jumla bhi kaha tha aap ne k................."(in this way that tofay you were saying toomuch in my favour, sometimes through the opic of black and white, so sometimes by saying that if you bravery then come forward and what more you have said....................yeah that we were grown up with broken swords no one knows about win and lose better than us , and one onmore sentence you have also said that..........), they were standing against the wall.

"acha ab bus bhi karo!"(okay now stop it!)

-"tou aap bhi waja baatein"(so you also tell me a reason)

"kuch nahi, acha khel rahay thay isliye"(nothing, you were playing good that's why)

-"humesha aisa hi khelta hoon"(i always play like this)

"kuch nahi, pehle sirf tumhara aur Ma'am ka mamla tha, ab main bhi aa gai hoon, tou thori tou tabdeli aaye gi na"(nothing, firstly it was the matter of you and Ma'am, but now I am also the part of this matter, so wouldn't there be any change).

-"aap, haan, woh tou aana hi tha"(you, yeah, you have to push in)

"tou is liye, sub ko directly nahi tou indirectly hi sahi message tou pohchana tha k Ma'am Sadia aap haar ki taraf rukh kar chuki hain"(so that is why, I have to give message to everyone not directly so indirectly that Ma'am Sadia you have turned to the path of lose)

                                                                  --

"sau, dair sau, dou sau, chaalis, pachaas, saath"(100, 150, 200, 40, 50, 60)

"Tou Fajahad bhai, kiya hisab chal raha hai"(so Fajahad bhai, what finance is going on!!)

"aaj k din mein chaay sau botlein tail ki ready hui hain, aur kal aath sau, yeh hogaya total chauda sau, ab yeh botlein humein humein hyderabad mein latifabad mein kal tak pohchaani hai, humne total chay lakh ikyawaan hazaar apne iss par invest kiye hain aur transport k saatth hazaaar milaye tou saath lakb giaarah hazaar invest kiye hain ab humein ghaaq sey kitne lenay hongay, pooray saath lakh bees hazaar rupay lenay honge"(in the day of today, 600 bottles of oil are produced and yesterday 800 were made, so the total is 1400, now we have to transport these bottle to Latifabad in Hyderabad by tomorrow. We have invested 6,51,000 rupees on them and if we add transport's 60,000 so it would be 7,11,000 rupees, now how much will we charge our customer, 7,20,000 rupees we have to charge him on whole), he gave all the details to him, when he asked him how much they have to charge, Kashif uncle raised his brows up and he showed him the total amount.

"yeh tha aaj aur kal ka hisaab, pichle barra dinno ka hisaab milaye tou yeh hoga chiaasi lakhaur chaalis hazaar rupay yani humara nafa ek lakh aatth hazaarka hoga"(it is the finance of today and testerday if we add 12 days' finance too than it would be 86,40,000 it meaans wewould have a profit of 1,08,000), he continued.

"tou isliye main ek crore ka baichoontakay mujhay chauda lakh tak nafa ho aur uss chauda lakh mein sey paanch lakh humshares mein laga dey aur paanch laakh Ali ki shaadi k uss mein daal dein aur bachay chaar tou woh nai machine khareedne k liye jo savings kar rahay hain uss mein daal dein"(so that is why I should sell it in one crore so that I would have a profit of 14 lakh and from that 14 lakh we would invest five lacs in shares, other five in savings for Ali's wedding and 4 are reaining so it would be put into the savings which we are doing to buy a new machine), Kashif uncle-whose few white hairs from front showed his wisdom, spoke thoughtfully and calculated the finance in brain and said.

"yeh hui na baat, jee haan aap ek crore mein baichein"(that is the point!!yes you sell it in one crore), his son like relative said. He knew his uncle very well. And Kashif too knew him very well.

"dekho tum ho himeray jaisay isliye tou tumhe saath rakhta hoon"(see you are like me that is why I stand you with me), he laughed. They both knew each other very well.

"tou acha batao abtruck walay kab tak aayein ge, aur kiraya kitna lagay ga?"(so tell me when the truck will come, and what will be the rent?), both chacha and bhatija, putting hands on each other's shoulder walked forward towards the CEO's cabin and CEO asked.

"shaam tak aaye ga, pehlay tou naway hazaar lay raha tha kam kara kara k saath hazaar karein hain"(it will arrive till evening, first it was asking for 90,000 after bargaining too much it come up 60,000), Faji-who control finance, said.

"haan sahi hain, yeh jo Farooq bhai hain, mere puranay dost, inka truck wala ek delivery k lakhon meincharge karta hai, humara tou phir sharif hai"(okay it is fine, that Farooq bro, my old friend, his truck driver charge in lacs for a single delivery, our driver is very humble and reasonable man), Kashif, who was sitting on moving office chair, commented and compared the charges with his old friend's truck driver.

"aakhir dhooda kis ne hai"(so who find a driver??), the raising up brows, smiling with upper front teeth coming out and bending a bit down towards him while holding a glass table between them while standing, he said.

"aakhir bhatija kis ka hai"(whose nephew do this??), Kashif rushed the rightpoint office chair towards him in his front and said with brows flying up and hands holding the table more firmly.

                                                                    ---

"kyun na hum lab banaye, apni lab, jis mein hum apna saara research work karein aur sambhal k rakhein"(why don't we make lab, our own lab, where we can do our all research work and keep it safe there??), Haroon said.

"haan yeh tou bohat acha idea hai"yeah it is a very good idea), Hania,while studying the anotamy of cat's brain, looked up and said when Arsalan repeated his statement.

"Arsalan tu bata"(Arsalan, you say)

"haan yeh bohat acha idea hai par hum banaye ge kahan"(yeah it is a very good idea but where we will make)

"aray haan na jagah, mamoon k kisi jaan nay walay ka lyari mein store room hai, woh ussay baichnay ka soch rahay hai tou kyun na hum khareed lein, ziyada mahangi bhi nahi hai, pachaas hazaar ka hai aur yaar sub sey bar kar humari khushi hai tou karte hain na"(ohh yes there is a place, my uncle's anyone friend has a store room in Lyari, he is thinking to sell it out, so why do not we buy, it is not very expensive, it is of 50,000 and more than all of this it is our happiness so why don't we do it)

Arsalan was remembering Haroon's idea and cost while sitting on a wooden chair.

"house=50,000

group=7

contibution=50,000/7

                  =7142.85

                  =7150approx

instruments+paint=3000

total=10,150

        =10,200 approx", he was calculating.

"abhi caoching mein 3000 rupay miltay hain chay ghantay kay

aur siddique k stall se 2000 rupay

yeh hogaye 5000 rupay

saamnay walay night shift walay coaching mein supply walay bacho ko tou main parha hi sakta hoon, aur Syed Sahab hain bhi khloos walay 2000 tou dey hi dein ge, aur chaar ghantay tou lazmi parhoon ga aur agar unko batadoon k main Jibran sahab k bhi coaching mein parhata hoon tou mujhay chaar ghantay k 5000 tou dey hi dein gey

abhi winter vacations bhi aanay wali hain tou in dino mein sweater ka kaam tou shru karoon ga hi ussmein 4000 ki tou kamai ho hi jaye gi, tou ........................."(currently I get 3000 rupees for teaching for 6 hours

and from Siddique uncle's Sahab's stall I earn 2000 rupees

its sum is 5000

I can teach to failures of nearby coaching , and Syed Sahab is benign he will give me 2000 rupees, and I will definetly teach for 4 hours and if I will tell him that give tuitions in Jibraan Sahab's coaching so he would definetly give me 5000 for teaching for 4 hours and now winter is coming and I will do the business of sweatter at any cost and from i will earn 4000 atleast so........), he was thinking and writing sum of money when his mother came 

"Aray Faiz, tum kab aaye coaching sey"(ohh Faiz when you came back from coaching)

"bus abhi thori dair pehlay hi aaya hoon"(I have come just minutes earlier)

"tum kitchen mein aa jao, khana khanay, subah bhi kuch nahi khaya tha"(you come in kitchen have meal, you did not have eaten anything in morning too)

"ammi, abba kaisay hain, aaj university gaye thay"(Ammi, how is Abba today, Did he go university today)

"nahi aaj university nahi gaye thay, kyun pooch rahay ho"(na he did not do university today, why are you asking)

"aisay hi, aaj kaafi upset hain, aur jab bhi university jaatay tou uss din thoray khush hotay hain is liye"(i was just asking, today he seems to be quite upset, and when he goes to university that day he seems to be pleased, thats why)

"acha yeh sub choro aur batao aaj wahan kia parhaya"(ok leave all of this and tell me what did teach there today)

"evolution"

"yeh tumhara favourite topic hai na"(isn't it your favourite topic)

"jee, mera favourite topic hai"(yes, it is my favourite topic)

"par mujhe ek baat samjh nahi aati"(but I can not understand one thing)

"woh kiya"(what is that)

"yahi k tumhein evolution k topic mein aisa kiya acha lagta hai k yeh tumhara favourite topic hai halakay yeh tou woh kehta hai jo mazhab nahi k hum bandaron ki nasal mein sey hain, phir kyun"(that what thing you liked the most of evolution that it becomes your favorite topic even though it says what our religion does not that we are from the family of monkeys, then why)

"har cheez badalti hai, minuton mein, dino mein, mahino mein, saalonmein aur sadion mein, aur evolution yeh hakikat bohat achay tareeqay sey batati hai isliye mujhay evolution ka topic bohat pasand hai, aap ko pata hai jab bachpan mein yeh topic jab parhta tha tou abba ka badlna yaad aata tha and aur un k badalane ko main evolution kehta tha aur aaj bhi jab kabhi lafz evolution saamney aata hai tou abba ka chehra hi saamney aata hai"(everything changes in minutes or days or months or years or centuries and evolution tells this reality that is why I like it, do you know that whenver i read this topic in childhood i remembered how abba changed and to his change i called evolution and today too when ever this word comes in front of me, abba's face comes too in front)

"chalo abbohat baatein hogai ab jaldi sey khana khnanay aajao"(we have talked alot, now come fast to have food), shewas trying to bring him out of sad zone which he had built around him but she could not and to hide her emotions she tried to leave the room on happy note when wetness was felt but

"ammi abba ka tou evolution bardasht kar sakta hoon par aap ka nahi, wada karein app nahi badlein gee kabhi bhi nahi"(ammi, i can swallow abba's evolution but i can not swallow your evolution, promise me you will not change, never), he hold hand of her who was going out and said he could swallow her change and then stood and came infront of her and asked to promise him.

"jis maa ka itna acha beta ho woh kaisay evolution k jaal mein aa sakti hai, ab jaldi sey kitchen mein aao, shukar hai tum writer nahi ho warna poora din mera dimag khaatay"(how can that mother came in the net of evolution who has such a nice son, now come in kitchen fast, it is very thankful to me that you are not  writer otherwise you will eat my brain), his demand for promise brought her hand on his cheeks and admitted that she could not change because she had a son like him and to bring him back in normal world she changed the topic and while going in kitchen-which was infront of his room, and while giving shape to roti she said that it is thankful his son is not a writer just to bring smile on his sad face.

while he was putting a piece of roti filled with curry in mouth, the dorebell rang and loud voice could be heard which was recalling his name "Arsalan!! Arsalan"

"tum baitho main kholti hoon, abhi tou meray tum itni dair baad hath lagay ho, poori roti khao tou"(you remain sit, I open it, after a long time you have come in my hands, eat whole roti), the young guy tried to stand to go and open the gatebut stopped by his dotting mother.

"aray kiya mummy aap bhi, main jawab dey doon, phir khaloon ga"(what is this mummy, i will eat the whole after answering him), but he was wise, he did not let her go, clasped her hand and went by himself.

"Aray Arsalan, kaisay hai tu, auntie kahan hai, nazar nahi aarahi"(ohh Arsalan, how are you, where is auntie, she cant be seen)

"main sahi hun tum sunao, mummy andar hai, andar aao"(i am fine, you tell, mummy is inside)

the both friends were walking towards small apartment at ground floor.

"aray nahi nahi, phir kabhi, ghar pe bhi jana hai abbhi, tu apney html k notes dey dey, kal sey tere paas parhney aaraha hunna, isliye"(ohh not now, nest time, i have to go home, you give me your HTML notes, from tomorrow i am coming to study with you, that is why)

"gate par kaun hai, Faiz!!Faiz!! ek tou yeh ladka kabhi jawab nahi deta"(Who is at gate Faiz!! Faiz!!, that boy never answers me), as the friends were talking, his friend heard other name and.....

"Arsalan tera koi bhai hai?"(Arsalan, do you have any bother?), he asked

"nahi"(no),

"tou phir auntie kis sey bula rahi hai, teray abu ka naam faiz hai??"(then auntie is calling to whom, isyour father's name Faiz?), he asked

"nahi woh mummy..........."(no actually mummy.............), as he was going to tell him, she walked out of the apartment, walking on brick made passage to him and asked "tou tum yahan ho, jawab tou detay, kaun tha............"(soyou are her, answer to me at least, who wa..............), she was asking but she saw him she stopped and greeted "aray yeh tou Fajahad hai apna, kaisay ho beta"(ohh it is our Fajahad, how are you son), she hugged him.

"main theek hoon auntie par yeh Faiz kaun hai, iska bhai?? phir tou bilkul iss k jaisa hi hoga, hai na main sahi keh raha hoon na??"(I am fine but who is Faiz auntie, is he his brother?? then he would be like him, isn't it, ain't I am right??), he asked her that questions and coming at same conclusions.

"aray nahi beta!!"(no son!!), she laughed.

"main isay pyaar se Faiz bulati hoon kyun k mujhe iske parhna aur mehanti hone par bara naaz hai"(I call him Faiz in dear because I am very proud on his studying so much and being diligent), she said.

"main tumhein yahi bata ne wla tha par"(i was going to tell you, but), Arsalan looked  down.

"ohh acha"(okay), his all excitment on coming to right conclusion flew away and other excitation arrive that...........

"auntie phir aap mujhay tou awara bulayein gi na"(then you would call me wanderer, auntie??), he asked what he thought.

"nahi, tumharay liye ek hi naam aata hai"(no, a word come for you only to me)

"woh kiya"(what is that)

"Mukhlis, matlab bhorasaymad, sincere"(Mukhlis, meaning sincere)

he laughed "acha"(okay)

"isko tou jab bhi faiz bulati hoon, kehta ammi jab research paper publish ho jaye tab bulana Faiz"(when ever I call him Faiz, he says "Ammi when my research aper will be published then call me Faiz"), she told him.

"auntie yeh tou hai hi pagal, papaer publish ho jaye ga phir keh ga doctor ban jaoon tab bulana, hum tou tujhe Faiz hi bulayein ge, paper k baad tujhe kisi aur perspective mein aur doctor k baad uss say bhi achay perspective mein, kaisa"(antie he is mad, after paper he will say call me Faiz when i will become doctor, so we will call you Faiz at any cost, after paper in other perspective and after doctor in a very good and the best perspective), he said and afer looking at him he told him he would call call him at any cost and after his paper get pucblished they would call him Faiz from other perspective and after becoming doctor they would call him that in a very good and better perspective.

                                                     ---

"yaar tu mujhe Faji ki jaga kiya bulaye ga"(what you would call other than Faji)

"behan choot, aur kiya"(sister f****r, what else other than it), Osman replied
