the specious hall was bathed in a soft golden glow. Chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling scattered their shimmering light a cross the floor.The walls were adorned with exquisite craving and intricate designs A quiet sense of beauty could be felt all around.

He was sitting on the sofa, busy using his phone,when his eyes fell on eizl,as she walked down the strairs.

Hey Lizard! Can't you see that we have guest at home ?The least of person can do is politely ask if they'd like to have something. he said, placing his phone on the table.

What guest ? And Whose guest?I don't see any guests here. And who exactly did you call' Lizard?Tell me the Eizl said as she is stopped , having been on her way to the kitchen .

Of course, you are the one standing right in front of me.Do you see anyone else here? So yes, I called you chapkili . He said waving his hands dramatically as he joyed teasing her.

Just then a flying shoe came straight at him and hit him on the head , instantly bringing his non stop chatter to a halt.

What kind of rude behaviour is this? How dare you throw a shoes at me ? I am going to complain to chahi about you right now ! He said as he got up from the sofa.

Just as you had the never to call me 'chapkili, ' I had the exact same nerve to throw a shoes at you. simple.

and go ahead, tell whoever you want . Do you really think I will be scared of your threats? I have a tongue too_ I can complain about you just as well.

Azmeer !my son, when did you arrive? I heard some noice, so I came out. I thought these siblings must be fighting again. Eazil mother said as she came out of her room after hearing the commotion and walked towards Azmeer.

No aunty .actually, I asked Eazil for some water,but I don't know........ it seemed like she had already had a fight with someone before coming here so she started taking all her anger out on Azmeer said , pulling and innocent face.

Eazil mother shot Eizl an angry look.

No mom, he is laying _, Eizl had barely opened her mouth to speak when Saira baigum interrupted her.

Enough Eizl, it is not as if I don't know you. I will deal with you later. Now go and bring a cold drink for Azmeer from the refrigerator. then she turn to azmeer and said,

My son, please do not mind her. you know she is still young. she say whatever comes to her mind without thinking.

it's okay aunty ,I know she is a little foolish. that is why I had never taken anything she say to heart. Azmeer replied in a very polite manners.

just then Eizl was returning with the cold drink. the moment she heard him called her" foolish ". it instantly got on her nerves .

"That's exactly why I said you did not notice .The very next day, he show up here again as if nothing happened. lf he had even a little self -respect , would he come back the very next day just to be insulted by the foll again , Mama Jaan??". Eizal said as she placed the class on the table.

"Eizal how many time have I told you speak politely? He is your elder brother ,and he can come to this house whenever he wants .Why does it bother you so much? This is his own home ,and he can stay here for as long as he wishes.Apologize to Azmeer right now ".Saira begum sad angrly ,looking at Eizal

"No No chachi ! There is no need for that ,I already told you that I don't mind anything she says .she is still a child .She will understand gradually .And besides, do sisters look good apologize to their brothers? So it's okay. Let it go." Azmer said with a smile in his eyes as he took another ship of his cold drink and looked at Eizal .

This is Shah Valla house.

Haider Shah had three daughters and two sons. His elder son ,Azlan ,was managing the family business in London. His elder daughter ,Almirah, had complete her study and was helping her father ,Haider Shah, manage the family business as a hobby. The middle daughter was ,Horrain ,who was the university student. The younger son was Zain, and the youngest of them all was, Eizal ,who was extremely myschivious and out spoken. Eizal and Zain studied at the same college.

it was time of dinner. Almirah was in the kitchen, helping Saira begum. Horrain was busy with her college work . while Zain was occupied playing game on his phone. As haider Shah entered the house,He greeted everyone with" Assalamualaikum", and ask them to come to the dining table for dinner.

"Almirah, go and call Eizal. I do not know what she's doing in her room". Saira begum said, taking the plate from her hands and placing it on the table.

As usual, there was silence at the dinning table. Eizal was bizzy eating with a sulking expression on her face, while Zain kept trying to tease her every now and then. However, unlike usual, she did not react at all.

"Well , is everything alright today"? Our princess is sitting so quietly, Haider Shah said, breaking the silence at the table.

Even then ,Eizal did not say single word.

"Dad, instead of asking questions, you should be thanking Allah that this disaster is finally sitting quietly and peacefully today. I have been waiting to see this day for so long. Tonight, before going to bed, I am going to offer two rak'ahs of nafal prayer in gratitude ". Zain said as he pick up the glass of water placed in front of Eizal.

Eizal had just left her meal and was about to get up when haider shahib stood up, gently pulled her close,and made her sit beside him on the sofa.

"Now ,will my princess tell me what happened"? Haider Shah asked loveling, keeping her close to him.

"Dad ,I don't like your wife at all .she keeps scolding me all the time, and she even scolds me in front of that monkey Azmeer. I want a new mom."With a pout on her face, Eizal complained while clinging to haiders Sahib's chest like a little child.

After dinner Zain ,Almirah and Horrain also come and sat with them.

"Dad, the idea is not bad at all. I also have many objections to your current wife. Eizal and I will choose your future second wife together". Hearing Eizal, Zain said as he sat down on the sofa.

"Both of you should be a little ashamed. if mom hear this, she will give you such a lecture that you will remember it for the rest of your live." Almirah tried to make them feel embarrassed.

Eizal eyes then fell on Horrain, who sitting beside Zain and secretly enjoying a chocolate

Through eyes gestures , Eizal signaled Zain,to snatch the chocolate from Horrain .

Understanding the signal ,Zain turned toward Horrain . just as she was about to take a bite of the chocolate with great skill, acchi noticed Zain staring directly at it. Before she could react, Zain quickly snatched the chocolate from her hand and through it toward Eizal.

Unfortunately, instead of reaching Eizal, the chocolate hit Saira begum on the head as she was walking in from behind.

Horrain was about to through a cushion at Zain, but the moment she saw her mother standing there angrily, see quietly put the coushion back in its place.

"Who threw this chocolate"? Saira begum asked angrily and she picked it up from the floor.

the chocolate had landed right on her head.

"Mom ! Zain throw it, I was quietly eating my chocolate when he snatched it from me and threw it at you". Horrain blurted out the moment she got the chance.

" Mom ! I did not even know Horrain n was eating chocolate. Eizal was the one who told me to do it . I just through........ poor thing was already suffering from an infiororty complex because Azmeer. so ,I wanted to cheer her up a little".

"Oh! so you have taken it upon yourself to make everyone happy now"? Saira begum said glaring them angerly."I seriously do not understand when you two are going to grow up. Both of you will stand on 1 leg over there for a whole over. That is your punishment."

both of them made pitiful faces and looked hopefully at Haider Sahib.

"Saira, what is the matter?, they were just kid. even if it was thrown by mistakes, let it go." Haider Sahab tried to defend them.

"Haider' if you try to defend them one more time, you will see a side of me you won't like."Saira begum warned pointing a finger at him.

"There is not anyone scarier than you anyway". Sahab muttered under his breath.

"Did you say something?"Saira begum who had just turned to leave, stopped and glarde at him after hearing his mumbling.

Startled, Haidar quickly shook his head.

Satisfied, Saira begum took Zain and Eizal with her to the room.
