Elders have always told their grandchildren stories most of the time those stories are about " honesty and truthfulness " while, some of them about " greed will always end with regrets.......

But sometimes elders like to told the stories about ghosts( in urdu we called them jinnat ). .... Most of them are like. " Don't go to rooftop at magrib time ( it's Salah time in muslim religion ) with open hairs ...... Some are like at midnight do not walk closer to the trees .... Specially old trees.......

our older generation people( our grandparents or parents ) also believe that if the house stays empty more then 6 months to 2 year ghosts( jinnat ) came to live there..... They make that kind of empty houses their home...........

As she was laying on her bed her head is buried in her pillow, headphones on her ears, as she's again listening to those kind of horror stories on radio station apk on her mobile phone....... Suddenly there is a knock on her room's door.....

She's still laying there motionless.... This time the knock is louder then before.... Still no movement.... Finally with a loud *bang* the door open and a 57 years old woman entered in the room......

" Oh Allah what can i do to this girl...all the time just put these pipes on her ears and listening those strange kind of stories..." ( The woman start in a loud voice as she entered in the room )

" Layla...... Oh laylaa listen to me..... Ufffff layla "( she immediately walk towards the girl and pull her headphones from her ears........)

The girl named laylaa opened her eyes and looked at the person who came in.....

" Ohh Amma how many times i told you

 don't do this... " ( She repeat the same line she always does when her mother do that)

Listen layla, you only have 10 minutes. Got up, open your wardrobe took out your most suitable dress, get ready, and came down in living room " ( yasmin begum said in a strict voice)

" Kindly if you tell me the reason i might understand your urgency amma " (layla said in a lazy voice )

" Your aunty khalida bought a very great proposal for you.... Do you know The boy is a government employee, his salary is quite good, he also have a good looks ...... To me this is the most suitable propsal khalida ever bought in here "( yasmin begum excitedly start praising the boy Infront of laylaaa )

Laylaa looked at her mother who's standing in front of wardrobe and took out dresses one by one......

" Amma i know how good the proposal would be.... I remember very clearly last month aunty khalida bought that fatso who's own clothe store in shah faisal market ......... He himself was matriculation fail and his sister-in-law look down on me for not having enough education, even though I had FA degrees........ " ( Laylaa said bitterly)

"Ohh Hey, leave those ungrateful people, listen to me, i think they are avery good people. The boy name is Shahzeb... His family seems to be good and mannered....... " ( Her mother finally choose shocking pink frock with plazzo and walk towards her bed) " You should wear this you will look beautiful in this dress "

" Amma you know very well whatever clothes i wore they loose their beauty on a dull complex person like me.... Stop trying amma " ( laylaa said in a low voice and got up )

Her mother looked at her quietly....... Anyway what can she say..... She knows very well ....... Laylaa is not a bad girl...... She just have dull complex skin colour..... And all kind of proposal that ever came for her reject her after seeing her once because of her skin colour............

Laylaa quietly took the dress form her mother and walk towards the bath room.......then she suddenly stop in the middle and look at her mother........ A smile came on her lips...the kind of smile that appears when someone plans to do something evil......

Yasmin begum took a long breath..........

" Ya Allah...... This time please things

go well " ( yasmin begum looked at the bathroom door helplessly and walk out of the room )

A 30 man sitting on a sofa next to his mother, about 55 years old man sitting on one seater sofa who's apparently drinking his tea while three of them looking around with greed shining in their eyes.....

" Be patience my boy..... The fruit of patience will be sweet hmmmm " ( the woman stroke the boys hair lovingly and said in a sweet voice )

Finally a young man and a young girl entered in a living room.........both Shahzeb father and mother got up and meet them ......

" Asalam u alikum aunty....my name is zoya " ( the Young woman introduced herself with a smile )

" Masha Allah child, you are very beautiful....do you know i always wish to have a daughter in law like you in my household..... Come here sit with me " ( the women said while hugging zoya )

Zoya looked at the family of three standing in front of her with a big smile..........

" Ahhh i.... I think you've mistaken something actually she's already married i'm Abbas zoya's husband"

Abbas introduced himself while staring at these people ina strange manner and then greeted the man standing in front of him,by shaking hands with great pressure......

Shahzeb feels the pain in his hand and immediately withdraw his hand.....

" Please sit...... " ( The woman said shamelessly )

" This is our house, we can sit down anyway , you are guests, you may sit please " (Abbas said sarcastically and sit in front of him)

Zoya only smile at them and sit next to Abbas .....

" So, what you do ??? " ( Abbas asked again with the man )

" I'm used to be a very wealthy business man in my time child... " ( Farooq sahab replied with stuffed mouth )

" Uncle I didn't ask you.... I was asking from your son...you just eat your samosas after that here you may try those kababs and shut yourself too " ( abbas said in a sarcastic manner and put the plate of kababs Infront of farooq sahab )

" Abbas be patient please " ( zoya softly murmur in Abbas ears )

Abbas quietly looked at her and then turn towards Shahzeb.......

" Jii, so what do you do for living ???" ( he asked in a serious manner )

" I actually am a government employee....." ( Shahzeb replied immediately)

" How much is your salary ??? " ( Abbas ask the next question)

" About 50 to 70 thousands...." ( Shahzeb said proudly )

" Hmmmm, but do you know our girl have so many expenses........do you think you can handle her ??? " ( In mention of laylaa abbas have softness in his tune )

" Don't worry brother i will take good care of your sister you don't have to worry " ( Shahzeb said with confidence in his voice )

" Ahhh excuse us for a minute " ( zoya said with a smile and took abbas with her and step out of the living room )

" Our girl have high expenses.... Will you handle it ??? Is she some kind of queen Victoria of some princess who have attitude and high expenses " ( Shahzeb 's mother said in angry tune )

" It's alright mama ...... When she came to our house i will handle her .......... " (Shahzeb said confidently with evil smile on his face)

" Yah , let her came to our house once.....then i will teach her a lesson that she forgot all her high expenses and attitude " ( his mother said with sour expression on her face)

Meanwhile, farooq sahab is still busy wiping out kabab from his plates.......

________________+__________________+__________

 Abbas what were you doing there ???? " ( Zoya asked while Crossing her arm and look at Abbas with angry eyes)

" My dear wife..... You didn't realize how annoying they all are..... I mean just look at that man...... he's saying he may fulfill our laylaa's wishes but on the other hand his mother look like someone who's no worse then typical mother in laws..... And his father...... " ( At the mention of farooq sahab he frowned ) he was nothing but an eating machine yrrrrr..... And what he said, yahhh *I'm used to be a very wealthy business in my times* ( he mimicked farooq sahab voice )

" Abbbas " ( zoya put her hands on her hip and called out his name)

Abbas finally quited down and looked at his wife with a puppy smile......

" Don't try to be cute..... Listen to me, she's my sister and i am also worried about her..... But, please can you be sensible for a while ...... It's not about what you feel or not it's about will they say yes or no........ I want my sister to be happy.... So please bear with it for a while ......... Understood ???? " ( Zoya said in a serious manner and finally asked to him)

" I can understand zoya but still ...... They should know if you go to someone house how yo behave.......... Don't be like some eating machine or some kindaa confident fool....... I was just....... " ( Abbas start rumbling again when he suddenly looked at zoya and shut in Middle)

Zoya quietly stare at him with fire on her eyes he obediently shook his head in a yes manner and walk towards the living room.......

_______________+_______________+______________

  " So what will you gonna do with you not going to be your husband now???Will you put salt in his tea again or will you pretend to be possessed by jinn???" (Sarah's voice echoed through the mobile speaker)

I will explain that to you in detail later .... Right now just Remember one thing....that "Laylaa Ramiz Mughal" will teach fool like him a lesson that he will be afraid to go see his proposals for the rest of his life, " (Laila declared war while applying lipstick on her lips)

" Masha Allah girl..... Why would you always do these kinds of things......If you don't want to get married, then refuse. Why do you have to do so much drama every time?" (Sarah said with a sigh....)

" You know, I find those who judge girls by their skin color to be poisonous. I mean, a girl's character, her manners don't seem important at all. But if you're a girl, you should be fair-skinned " ( laylaa said in a contemptuous tone)

" Leave it yrrr..... You know in my eyes you're the most beautiful girl living on this earth...... I love you naaa " ( Sarah said with an adorable tune )

Laylaa laugh at her words............ " Ohhh then why won't you marry me instead of Zakir bhai hmmm ??" ( Laylaa said in a teasing manner )

" Ohooo my little friend ..... I love you but yrrrr i love zakir much more naaaa " ( sarah said in a shy tune )

" Acha acha ok ..... Let's back to the point anyway i won't even understand your kind of love with zakir bhai so, now listen !!!!" ( Laylaa said and then start discussing her plan with sarah in a serious manner )

Wearing a blue dress, a simple hairstyle, and light makeup, she looked really cute. Although Laylaa was not fair-skinned, this sun-tanned skin color looked suitable on her.....

With Yasmin Begum, she stopped in front of the guests.

 "Mama, this girl is dark skinned coloured "

(Shahzeb whispered to his mother)

 His mother did not answer, but stood up, hugged Laylaa and made her sit next to her.

" Masha Allah you're daughter is so beautiful......sister i really like your daughter please let her be my daughter in law " ( Shahzeb 's mother said in a sweet tune )

" Thank you sister, by the way, you said right, my daughter is very beautiful... (Yasmin Begum replied with a smiling face)

 "So, should we consider the relationship fixed ???" (Shahzeb 's mother asked in a hesitant tone)

Before yasmin begum replied to them......Abbas said first in a serious voice.......

" Mama i want laylaa and Shahzeb to talk first with each other in private after that we ask their , then we will agree to this proposal after knowing their wishes."

At abbas words.....zoya and yasmin begum looked at them ........ Laylaa nodded with an agreement.....

" It's alright we can do it ..... Go Shahzeb talk to laylaaa then you both came to us and tell your decision."( Shahzeb's mother said to him )

He and laylaa both left the living room and walk towards the rooftop ..............

Yasmin begum looked towards the direction they left in a worried manner.........zoya hold her hand and give her " it's alright " look........ Yasmin begum just nooded.....

______________________+___________+___________

He drove as fast as he could and reached his house. When he spoke to Maryam Begum on the way, he found out that she had brought Ibrahim Sahab back home.

He immediately entered the house and quickly went to his parents' room. His father was sleeping peacefully on the bed and his mother was sitting on the prayer mat and praying.........

Maryam Begum prayed, put both her hands on her face, and stood up. After folding the praying mat.... she placed it to one side and gestured for Zain to come with her.......

 Zain also walked out of the room, closing the door slowly and coming out into the living room..........

"What happened to Abu???" (He asked worriedly)

 "First bring me a glass of water and don't bring it cold" (she said in a soft tone)

Zain silently went to the kitchen and after 2 minutes handed the glass of water to his mother... Maryam Begum drank the water and placed the glass on the table and looked at Zain...

 "Don't worry, he is fine..." (She said in a comforting manner)

" But what happen??? Why he suddenly lost conscious??? Did doctors said anything ??? " ( Zain asked hurriedly)

" I didn't took him to the hospital zain..... I took him to Maulvi Asadullah Sahab...... (Maryam Begum said while examining Zain's expressions very carefully)

" Reason ??? " ( Zain asked while looking at his mother face like try to understand the situation)

" The landlord of the house next door had brought a tenant to show him the house this morning. As your Abu was passing by, he stopped to greet the landlord.he took your Abu inside the house... When they came back out, they had picked up your Abu... I don't know what happen inside, and according to the landlord, your Abu had touched the old berry tree....." (Mary Begum explained the whole incident to him slowly)

Zain took a deep breath...........

" What did the Maulvi Asadullah Sahab say ???? " ( He finally asked after a moment of silence)

" According to him, your father saw something whose appearance no ordinary human could bear to see , and your father lost his senses in terror. He perform some duaa's and cleanser your Abu and gave him holy water telling to mix it with Abe - Zam - zam water and give it to him.......He also advised that after Fajr prayer, recite Surah Baqarah loudly at home every morning. Insha Allah, your abu will recover soon ...... " ( She also told him everything.....)

" Ami why don't we try to sell this house and leave ....... It's 3rd time in these 2 months that those jinns ( ghosts ) try to harm us...... And i don't understand abu knows very well that house is not safe ...... He still goes in there .......... " ( Zain said in annoying tune)

Don't say that, son. These jinn are also creations of Allah. We Adam(humans) were created from clay, while these jinn(ghost) are from fire. Just as humans are bad and good, similarly there is evil and good in jinn. We are Allah's beloved creations. Pray to Allah, son. He will definitely protect us..... " ( Maryam begum said in a soft voice and smile at him )

" Fine my son.... Now everything is alright..... Your Abu is okey he's just got scared nothing unusual..... Tell me are u hungry ???.....will i Bring food for you???. You must not have eaten anything in your shop... Abdullah told me... You were busy that's why you weren't even answering my phone... (Maryam Begum immediately changed her topic because she knows he doesn't like to stay in this house and whenever someone unusual happen because of that haunted empty banglow zain immediately try to move out from this house)

But she also knows that this house was build by zain's grandfather (father side) and ibrahim sahab loves this house very much he won't agree to move out..... And that was also the reason zain and ibrahim sahab quarrel almost every month..........

" Yes... Sorry, Ami , I had a customer his laptop have some issues...One minute (He stopped immediately)

" What happened?? " (After he became silent, Maryam Begum immediately asked)

He didn't say anything, he just immediately called Abdullah... After a couple of rings, the phone was picked up and Abdullah's chirping voice rang out...

" Assalamualaikum bhai.... Did you miss me that's why after leaving an hour ago you immediately called me ????? " ( Abdullah said teasingly.)

" Put the stop button on your nonsense immediately and tell me honestly what you did to the customer's laptop????? " ( He said in an annoying manner)

" What kind of customer? Many people come here during the day to get their laptops, mobile phones, etc for fixing.which on of them are you talking about?" (Abdullah said in a confused manner)

" The one who's having issues in his laptop's window and i was installing a new one when you came in and tell me about Ami's call " ( zain said while controlling his anger )

" Ohhh that one..... Boss you are the one who told me to show him the exit so i did the same ...... I give back his laptop to him and show him exit ....... " ( Abdullah replied innocently)

" Abdullah ....... " ( Zain shouted in anger )

Maryam begum who was sitting quiet immediately scold zain " your father is sleeping be quiet child "

Zain immediately said sorry to her and walk out of the house's garden........

" Do you know there is a thing called " brain " are you really sure you have it Abdullah ???? " ( He said while making a fist (👊) of his hand tightly)

" But you yourself told me ...... So " ( Abdullah protests innocently )

" I know how obedient you are...... How many times i say in a day to you to * get lost * or * go die * why didn't you obedient do one of these ???? " ( Zain said sarcastically)

" 🤣 Hahahahahaa bhai i know you just joking ???"( Abdullah replied while laughing)

" Hmmm but, mark my words when i came to the shop in evening i will make sure to feed you poison be ready to die bastard " ( he angrily warned him and cut the phone )

After took a deep breath..... He turn around..... Involuntarily, his gaze fell on the upper window of the luxurious bungalow standing opposite side..... His eyes saw a strange silhouette for a moment. Just for a moment. Zain immediately blinked his eyes and turned inside towards his house. That silhouette stood there.

 And then.......disappeared............As if it had never been there........

________+_________________________+_________

Shahzeb's facial expressions screaming * i don't like this tanned skin girl * but he was standing there patiently........

" I want to tell you something " ( Laylaa tried in every way to make her voice sad)

" Yes say i will listen " ( Shahzeb said in a fake sweet tune )

" Actually my father died in an accident a year ago.....when we got to know this news our family broke down completely...... My jiju he already quit his job 2 years ago....... We sell our shops and property for him to start a new business but every time he invest with his friends his friends cheated on him and he lost all the money....... At the end we only have our banglow left in defense but, when my father died we don't even have a single penny for the funeral arrangement..... So we decided to sell our last asset our banglow after we sold that we arrange baba's funeral but after that the only thing that was left is few thousand money in which we rented this house..... But now we don't even have a money to pay rent of this house ......( Laylaa said in a very fake crying tune)

Meanwhile, Shahzeb feel like he lost his organs....the colour of his face disappear and he looked at laylaa like she was some kind of death angel who came to collect his soul.......

" What....wha.....what....do....you.....mean ..... ???? "( He asked with difficulty)

" I don't want to lie to my future partner ..... My Amma and Abbas jiju want me to get married to you because you have stable job, own house.....after i married to you .... You will give the money to jiju so he start a new business...... " ( She said pitifully)

" Shut up...... ( Shahzeb said agrily ) Who do you think you are ..... I will give you and your family my money....... The money i earn is not something that is born in my tree ...... It's my money..... And remember my one think i am not going to marry someone black like you ...... I will go down now and refuse immediately ...... Just wait " ( in anger he immediately walk down from the rooftop..... )

Laylaa laugh echoes in the rooftop ....... After laughing whole heartly she took out the bottle of *vics*(it's a kind of balm that helps relieve blocked nose or breath difficulty) she dip her finger in vics and immediately touch her eyes with that finger..... In a minutes her eyes start to turn red and tears start spelling from her eyes....... She make sad face and immediately run down of the rooftop......

Shahzab standing with his mother and father and both he and his mother screaming loudly......

" Ayyyy hyeeeerr , I wouldn't let my innocent son to have a relationship with greedy and cunning people like you... Youdon't have a single penny yourself and you have come to give my son your black daughter... Come on, Shazeb let's go..... " ( She was spilling poison from her bitter tongue and got out from the living room )

Shahzeb also walk out when they both looked back towards the sofa ..... Farooq shahab( Shahzeb's father) was sitting there eating chips from the plate when he feel his wife's fire eyes on him he immediately got up and took some chips from the plate stuff them on his mouth and walk out with them.......

" Sister please listen to me you might misunderstood something...... Let us explain " ( yasmin begum said when she saw laylaa standing on the gate with teary red eyes her heart broke into million pieces)

" Let them go Mama these losers are not worthy to have our laylaaa...... " ( Abbas said while put his hand on laylaa's head )

Then he turned towards the people..... standing there ........

" Thank you for rejecting our daughter and for telling us how greedy people you are ......but i kindly want to tell you that i also knows that your son doesn't have any job.... The job he was doing 4 months ago he was fired from there because of his cheating and stealing habit in office....... And uncle you......I also knows that you are not some kind of business man in your time..... You are just a worker in a grocery store where you got fired because you steal stuff from there.....now get lost.......... " ( Abbas placed his entire record of deeds in front of him and pointed towards the door)

Shahzeb and his father face paled.......

Yes, yes, we are going. By the way, who will make your black sistertheir daughter-in-law? (Shahzeb's mother immediately spill poison)

Shahzeb's father was terrified after hearing their deeds and immediately went out ...... meanwhile Shahzeb grabbed his mother arm and whisper in her ear.....

" Mama let's leave or else these people might call the police " ( he immediately took her with him and walk out the door)

Abbas was about to close the door when their family lawyer walk out from his car and came towards him.....

" Assalm u alikum Abbas... how are you ???? " ( Ishaq shahab greeted him)

" WalikumAssalam ishaq uncle I'm fine please come in ....... " ( Abbas greeted him back and let him came in to the house )

" Actually Abbas i have some important things to talk to you and your family...... Is everyone at hime " ( ishaq sahab tell his real reason to came )

" Yes uncle everything is home please this way " ( Abbas immediately took him towards living room )

Yasmin begum was crying while hugging laylaa tightly ...... Laylaa just quietly let her embrace herself..... zoyaa came in with a glass of watch and give it to her mother........

" mama ishaq uncle is here " ( abbas announce the arrival )

Laylaa got up and sit properly....yasmin begum also wipe her tears ......

She greeted to ishaq shahab and he also greeted her....after the formalities.....he announce his purpose go came here.......

" I want to read you all Rameez shahab's will....i was trying to solve some of the issues that why i was not able to came here early ....... But now i got a time i'm here ........ " ( He said in a professional tune)

" Baba's will ???? " ( Zoya said in a confused manner )

" But as far as i remember.....Baba had given us all his property during the time he was alive..... In fact, he had even given some shops in the names of Meera and Ali... He himself had donated the rest of the money he had in the bank to the hospital...... " ( Abbas told in a confused manner)

" Yes you are right most of his property he give it and some of it he give in to hospitals and some orphanage but, there are some that you might not know about that why he decided to write his will " ( ishaq sahab informed then)

" It's alright ishaq bhai you tell us his will " ( yasmin begum said in a horse voice)

" As Abbas beta(son) said He has named this house and the jewelry in the bank in his wife's name .....Zoya's share from the factory and Landhi shops should be given to her legally and equally...... The rest will be donated to orphanage and Edhi Center. ... In addition, one of his two shops in Korangi is named after his grandson Ali and the other is named after his granddaughter Meera....... " ( He start reading the will in a loud voice so everyone could hear)

Everyone present there was silent............the maid entered in a room and put the tea Infront of ishaq sahab......

" His bank money was donated to hospitals and some of them was given in mosques........ " ( He said and close the file )

" What about laylaaa ???? Where is her share ???" ( Yasmin begum asked after a while of silence )

" Amma i never said i want something !!! " ( Laylaa said in a lazy voice )

" But still it was your right...... " (Zoya said in a scolding manner )

Laylaa pouted and looked at her .......

" This is what mostly i want to talk to you all..... I wanted to ask you something first ........ " ( Ishaq sahab said after sipping the tea....)

" Yes uncle tell us " ( abbas asked in a serious voice)

" Do you All know that Rameez shahab own a big banglow in lacknow society???? " ( He asked )

" Baba owns banglow???? I think he said something about it but, didn't specifically tell the details " ( Abbas said after remember something)

" Really baba owns banglow.......in lacknow society i never know that ...... Mama did you know that ??" ( Zoya asked to yasmin begum )

Yasmin begum quietly looked at them and nodded her head ........

" But didn't he ask you to find some people to sell the banglow???? And what's this have to do with laylaa's share in property???? " ( Yasmin begum asked in a serious voice)

" Indeed he asked and i remember last time when i was discussing this matter he told to something strange....... He said he want laylaa to love in that banglow after marriage.....( Ishaq sahab replied )But after 3 days before his accident he ask me to sell the house i feel strange then he tell me to write a will .........i ask him but he didn't say anything more....... "

" So what about laylaa's share ???? " ( Zoya asked again )

" That banglow was in a name of laylaa......he want that banglow to be her wedding gift......so he bought it in the name of her..... And there is another thing.......he also bought a shop in * KHAN PLAZA * building for laylaa to open it as cafe.......or some pastry shop..... "( He finally answered their question )

" So you are saying......" ( Abbas try to said when )

" I am saying the only thing he put in the name of laylaa is that banglow and the shop other then that he didn't give laylaa anything........ " ( Ishaq shahab clearly answered this time)

" Why..... For what reason ...... How could he do that..... How could he didn't give her anything other then that house and some shop....... " ( Yasmin begum said angrily )

" Amma relax " ( laylaa give her glass of water )

" I told you all what i know and i also read you will.... In a month i will aslo complete the process of transferring property according to the will " ( ishaq sahab announced and got up.....)

"So what have you guys thought, what will you all gonna do now ????" (Sara asked her)

They were both sitting in a stylish biryani restaurant, enjoying their respective plates of biryani. At the same time, Laylaa was sharing the details of the incident at home with her.....

"What should we do, man... Abbas Jiju has spoken to Amma that we should leave this area and shift to that bungalow." ( Laila said, putting a spoonful of biryani in her mouth.)

" "Well, if you guys really want to shift, let me know and I'll come help you out. (Sara offered with a smile.) Now tell me, how did you know that the fraudster who came for your proposal had his eyes on your property?" (Sara asked with interest.)

Laylaa picked up her mobile with a proud smile and put it back after doing something... At that moment, Sara's mobile lit up due to a notification... Sara immediately picked up the mobile and looked at it and then stared at Laylaa...

"You are sitting in front of me, so why are you taxing me???"

"You stupid person, check what I have sent" (Laylaa said while rolling her eyes)

Sara immediately checked and opened the video sent by Laylaa.......

As Sara was watching the video, her eyes were widening in surprise.......

"Your eyes are fine, but close your mouth, people are watching." (Laylaa said, waving her hand in front of Sara)

"You rude person, did you make a video of what they talk among themselves???" (Sarah asked in surprise)

"I didn't, correct your sentence...." (Laylaa said while eating biryani with pleasure)

"Wait a minute, you were in the room talking with me on the phone .....the whole time, so when was this video made???" (Sarah said in a suspicious tone)

"Oh my cutie friend.. Laylaa has spies for such things" (Laylaa replied proudly)

"What spies???" (Sarah placed her hands on her waist and ask in displeased tune )

"My dear nephew, niece... Ali and Meera" (Laylaa said in an announcement tone)

" Oh my god, you are a sinner yourself, but you have also made these innocent little children do wrong things.... If your zoya api finds out, she will turn you into witch ....... " (Sarah said sadly, while shaking her head )

" Oh, shut up, don't complain too much, and anyway, these innocent children had paid in full for this work... " (Lylaa said very calmly, throwing all garbage at both of children)

" So, sister, you must have offer them first too, right?" (Sarah replied in a sarcastic tone)

" Leave it, friend, let's go. Anyway, I have to go home now and see what has been decided...." (Laylaa said,and picking up her purse and mobile phone)

Sara also stood up, shaking her head in yes ..... They both went out from the restaurant.............. talking with each other.......

_______________+______________________+_______

It was 2 am, at that time every living soul was enjoying the sleep in their bedroom. In such a situation, that man, dressed in black, was busy trying to climb the wall of that empty bungalow......

His companion, who had managed to scale the wall, stood inside the bungalow, staring at him with intense boredom After much effort, the man managed to scale the wall and reached his companion with panting breaths.......

"Boss, there's still time to think. This bungalow is not good. I've heard many strange things about it (the man, with heavy breaths , try a last-ditch effort to convince his companion)

"Don't tell me what to do and what not to do. Come inside quietly. And anyway, these jinnats(ghosts) don't have enough free time to come and see us. Come now, be discreet." (his companion spoke in an angry tone and moved towards the door of the bungalow)

He helplessly, hiding his fear, walked with his companion in silence.........

When they reached the door of the bungalow, they saw a broken old rusty lock hanging on the door...

"Hah... Look, how many thieves have already come here and cleaned their hands, so your jinn(ghosts) must be sleeping at those times..." (The man's companion spoke in a sarcastic tone)

"Don't talk like that, boss... My grandmother used to say that jinnats don't like it when humans make fun of them" (The man said immediately in fear)

"How many times have I told you... Leave your grandmother's fairy tales at home... Man, where did you get the idea of becoming a thief?" (His companion said in a hot tone)

"My mother was dreamed for her son to do something that the whole world fears...first My thought of becoming a "mafia" but fate made me a petty thief" (The man said in a depressed tone)

"Stop talking nonsense and take out the flashlight... It doesn't matter if it's not gold, jewelry or money, but some valuable utensils or a vase will definitely be found" (His companion said in an excited tone)

" Be careful, boss... don't let it happen that you meet some other creature in place of the utensils and antique vases in the house... " (The man remembered his fear again)

"If we find someone like that, we will put him in our cage and ask him for money every day" (His companion said in a humorous tone)

They both entered the house silently, with slow steps..........

White sheets were spread on the dusty and old furniture, black and gray paint was on the walls of this room... Due to the lack of light and darkness, the environment was quite scary... With the help of a flashlight, they both started looking for a way to the kitchen.

Climbing the dusty wooden stairs of this large and spacious bungalow, they reached the first floor. The scene there was more terrifying than the scene below... That man started trembling with fear...

They went through the three floors of the bungalow and examined the rooms there. And if they saw any old furniture or anything else valuable, they would put it in the bag they had with them. Finally, they reached the last and fourth floor. There was only one door. Apart from that, there was no room. Nothing else......

He was terrified but his companion turned towards that door excitedly and opened the door of a only room in this floor and entered. That man was helpless and unable to move due to fear... But out of fear of loneliness, he immediately entered the room behind his companion.......

This room was strange... where everything in the bungalow was covered with dusty white sheets... there was this room... it seemed as if someone cleaned it regularly every day... the furniture in this room was also shining quite brightly as if it had never gotten old... and the strangest thing... the fresh scent of roses rising in this room... was forcing every being who came into the room to be drawn towards it... it seemed as if the person had entered not a house but a garden of roses.........

"Boss, there's still time to run away it's not quite right here... The amount we've collected is enough for few days, please boss, let's go" (the man said in a frightened manner)

Before that, his companion would have answered... He heard Payal's rhythm.........

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh " (The man screamed in fear and immediately grabbed his companion's arm and clung to him...)

"This........... (His companion spoke something before a shadow appeared on the curtain in front of him)

An incredibly beautiful but terrifying shadow... Long hair that touched the ground, hands whose nails were big and sharp... The dress was even lower than his feet... That shadow had the quality of enchanting.......

Where that man was in a bad state of fear, his companion was watching the dancing existence of this shadow in a dazed manner without blinking.......

Suddenly, the shadow grew bigger... So much so that not only the curtain but the entire wall was enveloped in its shadow... That beautiful shadow suddenly became terrifying.........

When the enchantment trap broke and the terrifying thing was encountered, it was too late... That man had long since left his companion behind he ran blindly without thinking.......all he knows was the things he encountered......When he managed to get out of the bungalow, he turned around and looked... The shadow disappeared and a terrifying scream, which was definitely his companion's, was heard. After that, he fell unconscious and fell in the middle of the road.

Once again, the same shadow appeared in the upper window of the bungalow... For a moment and then disappeared...........

__________________+_______________+__________

Suddenly his eyes opened... Zain looked around... He think he have heard a scream, a terrible scream... He wiped the sweat from his forehead... When he picked up the mobile lying on the side table, the clock was indicating 2:30Am in the morning... He got up with a deep breath... And poured water from the side jug into a glass and drank it...

with the intention of performing the Tahajjud prayer( it's midnight prayer Muslims perform it around 12am to until fajr Salah), he turned towards the bathroom... That's when his eyes fell on the open window...

"Did I forget to close the window again??" (Zain muttered under his breath and started to close the window)

That's when his eyes fell on the upper window of that empty bungalow. . . The same thing that had happened two days ago in the evening... The same momentary scene, that shadow, and then nothing disappeared... Zain looked away... For some reason, he felt as if the shadow's eyes were on him...

He stood there for a moment then, closed the window, pulled the curtains over it and turned towards the bathroom.......

"AMMA, come and eat" (Laylaa opened the door of the room and said in an announcement)

Yasmin Begum. At that time, was sitting on the sofa in her room, making her granddaughter sit down on the floor and applying oil to her head... At the same time, Meera was also telling her about the stories related in her school...

"Amma ??? " (Laylaa called out to her busy mother)

"I am not hungry... Meera, child, you go and eat" (She refused, putting a ponytail in Meera's hair and motioning for her to get up)

Meera got up and hug her grandmother with a smile.....yasmin begum also hugged her.....

" Oye Meera go down and eat. Stop bothering my Amma " ( laylaa said in a teasing tune)

" Nano is angry with you, mama and with baba

too " ( Meera announced while hugging her grandmother tightly )

" Why did we fire a missile at your Nano or force her into the old home... " (Laylaa said in a humorous manner and sat on the bed...)

" Yes child, that's all that's missing, one day you guys will leave me in the old home" (Yasmin Begum said in a depressed tone)

" Aunt laylaa !! Nano is angry with you because you all want to force her to go to another house... " (Meera said while adding information)

" So what's the problem with that... And anyway, Amma, I remember very well that when abu decided to leave his old neighborhood and bring you here, you starved for the whole day... But later you adjust here fine" (Laylaa said while persuading her)

" At that time, your abu Was alive... But now he is not... Lylaa, this house is really full of his memories... "I don't know i decided it. I want to spend the rest of my life here." (Yasmin Begum said decisively)

Laila looked at her mother silently and then spoke in a tone of surrender......

"You know very well that Abbas Jiju will not back down from his decision..."

"Your Abbas Jiju has grow older then me that now he will impose his decisions on me" (Yasmin Begum spoke angrily)

"Nano, according to Section 2049 you are disrespecting my respected father" (Ali appeared from nowhere and spoke in a loud voice)

"Go away... This boy ufff, you keep making fake laws without government permission one day will be in jail for this crime " (Yasmin Begum scolded her grandson)

"Nano, I am a future lawyer, you cannot insulting me like this, you know how much fine you may have to pay for this crime" (Ali said in an angry tone)

"Okay my failed future lawyer... Let's eat or else your mother will become inspector in anger" (Laylaa said while forcibly taking Ali out of the room)

"Amma, you also come please, let's talk on the table......(She turned and also said to her mother Said)

Yasmin Begum left the room while holding Meera's hand........

$______________________+______________+_______

She was busy packing her clothes and other belongings at that time... 3 days ago, Abbas had announced his decision to everyone. Yasmin Begum struggled a lot so that they won't move out..... But Abbas did not change his decision. As a result of 3 days of fighting and anger, Yasmin Begum was finally ready to move out and now everyone was busy packing their own things........

Abbas opened the door of the room and entered.

"Zoya, bring me some water" (he said in a tired tone while taking off his tie)

Zoya said yes and held the glass of water towards him. He put the glass to his mouth and sat down on the sofa.....

"Are you mad at me??" (He asked after seeing the sadness on his wife's face)

"Who told you.?? ..... I am not mad " (Zoya replied in a normal tone while putting the clothes in the bag)

" Your face ( he replied in a loving Tune) I know you Zoya, you are mad at me..." (He also said in a confident tone)

"I am not mad Abbas, but I don't understand why all this suddenly???" (Zoya said in a confused tone)

"Come here and sit next to me..." (Abbas called her in a soft tone)

Zoya silently sat down on the sofa next to him... He leaned towards her and looked into her eyes......

"You know I'm worried about Laylaa... She's like a sister to me... People here don't talk well about her... People in the neighborhood don't stop criticizing Laylaa, making up stories about her... And then, how stressed and worried Mama is with the rejection of her proposals again and again... Now you tell me is all of this okay???... " (Abbas lovingly held Zoya's hand and explained to her in a soft tone)

"I know... But Ami is not happy... She isn't even talking to me..." (Zoya said in a sad voice)

"You don't need to worry... Mama is angry right now, she will be okey in some time... You know how much she loves you and Laylaa, she can't stay angry with you two " (Abbas comforted Zoya by gently caressing her cheek with his other hand)

"You are a good person Abbas... I am very lucky that you are my life partner" (Zoya said softly and proudly while placing her hand on Abbas's hand)

"Wow... Today my wife is very kind to me...Tell the truth did you cast a evil spell on me ???.... " (Abbas faking anger while teasing Zoya)

"Not at all...... Sometimes you should also praise your husband nooo ???" (Zoya said with a smiling tone and stood up, pulling out her hand from his)

"I will pack the few things that was left... You should freshen up too, then we will have dinner together" (She said while picking up the clothes againn)

"Where are those two naughty children of mine ??" (Abbas asked while getting up from the sofa)

"Mira is with Amma helping her in packing and Ali is in room with Laylaa don't know they were doing????" (Zoya said in a busy tone)

"Hmmmmm" (He turned towards the bathroom while shaking his head)
