AFTER A
RAIN IN LAHORE
‘If
God pay attention to our prayers about our teachers, I believe no teacher would
be safe and sound in the world,’ Murtaza smiled and took out his books.
‘Look,
don’t take me wrong. We’re friends for a long tome. You have done a great work;
you broke the asteroid belt, you discovered the magnetic pasture of Himalayan
rocks connecting with rambling stones of space. It all should be used for the
benefit of all mankind.
It
was raining heavily since last two days. The sewerage system of the city
collapsed badly. All roads and streets were flooded badly. The driver stopped
the car at one end of flooded road,
‘You should go on foot now.’ They could see the road sank in water till
their school gate. Fresh morning breeze in a drizzling atmosphere alleviated
their wits outside the car, before they dared to put their feet in the stream
of garbage and muddy water. This was the front road of a renowned school in
posh area of the city. Hassan and Murtaza
came outside and stopped, to analyze, how to cross that water. They looked
around all the students were passing through that water.
“yeh ishq nhi aasan bas itna samjh li jiye
Aik aag ka darya hai aur kood k jana hai”
(Spiritual love is not that easy just be
acquainted with. here’s a river of fire and you have to jump in it to cross
over)
‘We
have no choice, lets go,’ Hassan was in the mood of poetry, he took off his
socks and went in to the water. Murtaza also had no choice except to follow him.
The water level was up to their knees. They walked through that muddy water,
trying to hold umbrellas in one hand. At last they entered their class with wet
paints and shoes. A stinking smell welcomed them inside. All the students were checking their soggy
bags. The room was stinking badly.
Hassan and Murtaza put off their shoes to increase the humid aroma of August
rains.
TEACHER’S SHOULD BE ABSENT ON AND OFF OTHERWISE…
‘She
can’t be absent at any day, I prayed her car got stuck in the rain water but
God never listens to my prayer’ Hassan got annoyed to see Miss Kainat, coming
early towards the class, as there was no assembly on that day.
‘I
prayed the same for Math’s teacher, I have not prepared my test properly, but I
have just seen him in the staff room,’ Murtaza turned to him.

| HEAVY RAIN FALL IN LAHORE |
‘My
car jammed in the rain water, I hardly managed to reach school, just do
revision worksheets today, and these will be assessed as class test.’ Murtaza
looked at Hassan as Miss Kainat was in very bad mood.
‘Just
because of you, we’re cracking into it. Couldn’t you pray briefly,’ Murtaza
read the sheet.
DON’T
WANT TO LIVE HERE
They
were solving their English worksheets, when power cut off. Fans and lights went
off.
‘I think School generator is out of order,’
Miss Kainat exclaimed after waiting for sometime.
‘It is too hot and humid here. Every
thing is stinking. That’s why I don’t want to live in this country, there are
always problems,’ Shireen had moved to Pakistan last year with her family. She
was not happy at all, and always does complaints.
EVERY
NIGHT HAS ITS DAWN
‘You
lived in small, shitty place in America, my uncle told me about your status
there, here you are having luxurious life and grumbling. You better go back.’ Murtaza
couldn’t listen to any thing bad about his country.
‘Ok,
it was a small, but a peaceful place. There were no bomb blasts every time,’
Shireen didn’t stop.
‘We
are having difficult times but we‘ll soon get over it by our courage and loyalty,
and our enemies will be crushed badly,’ Murtaza got emotional.
‘Insha’Allah,’
Miss Kainat said deliberately.
‘Every
night has its dawn,’ Miss Kainat looked optimistic.
‘Now
all of you complete your work,’ she started collecting worksheets from the
students.
‘M’am you know two suicide attackers have
entered the city,’ Umer entered the discussion.
‘I also have heard’…. ‘Don’t go to market….,’ all
students got chance to mumble.
‘No,
more rumors, just sit quietly.’ Miss Kainat stopped them hurriedly.
NEVER BREACH
YOUR TRUST
‘Aaa….aa,’
Zaka was in severe pain, orange brain lehras of 24th century were destroying
his body systems slowly. His brain was not working at all. He was disconnected
from his lab in space.
‘You
can get rid of this pain if you tell us about your discovery. After a lot of
experiments, we can’t get access to time zones properly. I know you can travel
in past and can view the videos and images, saved in space holes. If
you come to our side, I can offer you a good deal,’ Sigma showed his false
sympathy.
‘I’ll
not breach my country’s trust at any cost, my all discoveries are deposits of
my nation,’ Zaka answered furiously.
You
can be the richest man of this world. You can have your own fully equipped
latest labs, which will meet your dreams as you’ll like… If you want anything
more we can think about it,’ Sigma showed him offer.
Zaka
spitted on the floor. ‘Your masters better go to my government and talk to it. They’ll
decide whether to share the discovery or not. I’ll not tell you any thing. You
are just wasting your time.’
‘Oh,
don’t flaunt so much, just two centuries before your people were killing each
other in the name of religion. Your elders sold their faiths just for money.
‘Aaa…..’
Zaka screamed badly. Sigma increased the intensity of pain lehras.
‘The days had gone, when you could buy us by
blarney. We have not reached here in days; our elders had sacrificed a lot to
get these successes that people of other countries beg for our visas,’ Zaka
hardly answered.
‘Then I would have to use another way. Grab his buddies from 21st century at once,' Sigma yelled to its floating men.
'They would be in their school at this time, boss,'
'I damn care of those old cemented buildings, which they call a school or something like this. Just seize them here.....,'
