Karachi evening..... Just one dance
It was a typical karachi evening. Cloudy and windy. As if they would have rain showers any minute, yet there was no rain.
The whole family was gathered in the lawn for an evening tea. Mawra had baked donuts, fried samosas and was serving tea to them.
For some unknown reasons, she was smiling and happy today.
"Aliza's wedding is scheduled in July" Bibi jaan informed while taking sips from her cup of tea.
"That's some good news" , said Amna Suhail smilingly.
"When did you find out Bibi jaan? " asked Suhail zafar, picking up one of the freshly baked donuts.
"Zehra called up in morning. They are all coming to karachi on july 4th" replied Bibi jaan
"Oh my God, this leaves us with a very short time Bibi jaan, I haven't done any shopping at all." Mawra was worried like any other girl would have been. Aliza was her first cousin, her aunts daughter, residing in Uk, the wedding was scheduled to be celebrated in karachi, so everyone was flying back home.
"As if we are done with our preparations!" Bibi jaan said promptly and everyone smiled.
"its good though, the kids will be having their summer vacations during wedding" Amna Suhail said happily.
"But mom , what about our summer holiday plans, weren't we supposed to goto Spain this summer? " Imad Suhail asked, making Mawra catch her breath for a moment. Apparaently he was more interested in his trip than this family wedding.
"Obviously we can not go." replied Amna
"Why not mom?" her disappointment was apparent.
"Since this is our family wedding and we have to do a lots of preparations for it, there is no time for the trip beta"
Mawra was heart broken. And a sudden realization came to her. That unknown reason for her happiness today was not that unknown after all, she was happy because she was told by Daniyal Malik that their trip to Spain was final. Just the thought of seeing him again had brought her cheery self back.
"We have a full month of June free for us, why cant we go to Spain in June" Imad was insistent, and secretly mawra was being thankful to him.
"Well something can be done you know", Suhail Zafar participated in conversation, he could not ignore the disappintment in Mawra's eyes and the agitation in Imad's voice. He was an affectionate father. "Imad is right, we can manage to go in June and come back well before wedding." he smiled.
Amna was apparantly not happy with the decision, she had a lots on her mind since she would have to host the guests from foreign conutries. But for the sake of her children she kept quiet.
"Dad you are great" , Mawra and Imad shouted out aloud.
She smiled once again.
There wasn't anything which could have made her much happier than being in spian this summer.
