Chapter 2
"Aliya beta!"
"Ji Abbu"
"Here are the things you needed." , the man said giving a packet to Aliya. Aliya kept it aside and removed the coat of his father.
"I am so thirsty. A glass of water please?"
"Abhi layi,"
"Where is Zain?", man said holding the glass
"Who Zain?"
"Oh that soldier. His name is Zain Abdullah, I read on badge.", Man drank water and handed back to Aliya. "Where is he?"
"HE is resting. He wanted to inform his parents abt his whereabts but I told him the weather is not good and also lines are dead due to it so he has to wait for few days"
"Oh okay, may be I should check on him"
Zain was sitting on the bed.
"How are you feeling now?", Zain sat n looked at the man.
"I m feeling good, thanks. You are doing so much for me and.."
"Its all right, its all right. You people do so much for us, its nothing in front of that." Aliya's father saw glass on the stool.
"So u too had too bear the torture?"
"Haldi wala doodh I mean", he laughed, "I too had to drink it at times, My daughter you know...haha"
"Isn't there any way I can make contact?"
"Ah, no no not in this weather, my daughter would have told you. Heavy snowfall you see? Lines are closed. Its common in this place. You have to wait for few days."
"Okay!", Zain didn't know wht to say. He had to wait. It was important to inform his whereabouts.
"Your family must be worrying about you No?, the man said, he had become serious suddenly. "I can understand how it feels when you go away to serve the country, leaving the people behind...who cares for you. There is a fear in heart...but at the same its very amazing job. Few are the lucky who get the chance to do something for the country n even if u die.."
"Abbu, dinner is ready"
"Oh yeah m coming" he glanced at Zain "I will tell Aliya to send your food at room."
Zain nodded.
"Um Sir", Zain asked.
"Yeah, n don't call me Sir n all. You are not talking to ur senior.", the man said.
"Thats what I wanted to ask. I don't don't know your name"
"Oo I forgot, sorry, sorry I am Ghulam Haider"
"Okay, Mr. Haider, then"
"ABBU", Aliya again called his father.
"I am coming, I m coming", Ghulam left the room.
Don't know why but Zain felt that there is the reason why they were behaving in such a way. 1st Aliya's confusing behavior...n then Mr. Haider's sudden seriousness.
