Temptations....

Yahyaaa.. No you just can't do this to me. No you just cant marry me like that. Roshanara had a jolt in her sleep and she woke up. She was in her secret room. Her Ghurfat-ul-ishq. She took some time to figure out the timeline. She is married. They had a small reception. She was sad. Yahya was talking and she came to her room. She was tired and she slept. Yes ,that was it. She hold her head as it was aching as if her head was beaten with a blunt weapon. Her head was heavy as she was keeping on crying before she dozed off. As she gained consciousness she looked around. Yahya was there in her room. He looked at her with concern. Roshanara had questions to ask! alot of questions! She was always like that. Always! A fearless lady she was and used to speak on face. She wondered how he figured out her secret room. An unbearable pain passed through her heart. All these of her possessions, her world is been shared. Her sacred place is been vandalized she felt! She cursed her existence in mi...

A nice red ribbon was used to part the path they should take to fly for the game above the river. The route had been decided. But there are routes one should never take as the wind blown in that direction at the time of game can adversely affect their flying. Both team where ready on both sides of the river and amidst them thousands of butterflies from which they have to spot the butterfly that goes to the lavender rose. This one butterfly will occasionally raise its wings that then will appear like a bird.it is during that time one has to spot it and chase it down. when it flutter its wings its wings will glow. That is the indication. while other butterflies do flutter , but their wont be a glow. some people will mistake it as glow and chase wrong butterflies. So one needs to be extremely keen to choose it down. Roshanara was the swan in animal form and was the team leader of her side and every one had appearances like that accordingly. Amaal was parrot and Hafiza was Nightingale....

It was a vast calm water body and on either side was a team of 10 members. Each of them had the appearance of different birds. There where many butterflies floating amidst them. Of these butterflies only one would be flying towards the rarest of the rare flower to drink the honey. Locate that fly and chase it down , so that you can locate the rarest of the rare flower -the lavender rose which has a compound needed for a medicine. So this was the Game of Farashat for which Yahya and friends came. And every year in the spring  this game occur  in Ardul-Rasheeq and that secret community in the world, whom can have wings in this particular season and can attain the animal self is been called for this event. Along with this game of Farashat  there occurred many cultural events and cultural exchanges between communities. Some find their matches during this festival. Some may settle in Ardul-Rasheeq.  Cutting off their this strange ability to transform  ...

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Mihran was sad. He was sad because his baby girl is not happy with all this. He knows that. Yet a part of him was saying thanks to the lord, for the dua he had been making for the past 5 years was given a nod from his lord. Crowd was equally relieved. As if something that was suffocating their life before going to sleep everyday was Roshanara's marriage! Nobody ever thought about Roshanara. Everybody was discussing her life. Yet the voice of the one should have mattered never mattered. They were busy gossiping about her life and this sudden twist. They all thanked Allah for this cultural festival. Yahya was near Roshanara. Roshanara stood soul-less and dead inside. She couldn't process any of this. She responded mechanically to all the greetings. She couldn't even fake the smile, for the taunting showered on her for being rebel, not marrying all these while and after all the issues she created, it ended up like this! After all ,wh...

In the hall where everyone gathered after the game , Yahya made a request. Yahya had been a center of attraction since the day he came here in the Ardul-Rasheeq for the cultural festival. He was the finest of the soul anyone had ever seen and Roshanara had noticed it well enough. But she rarely even cared. But Roshanara do felt good at times when she thought about him. Nonetheless , she was least bothered.  Yahya used to be with Faizan whenever he goes for a walk in the Ardul-Rasheeq. In the game of Farashat , the performance he showed was praised by all . Roshanara was the team leader for the opposite. She was known for the fair game till that moment before Yahya took it over. She was keeping on thinking about this game until she was jolted hearing the statement made by Yahya. He said, in a calm and composed manner, with extreme politeness, with a sweetest, yet commanding voice to Roshanaras father Mihran that - " Would you marry off your daughter Roshanara to me?". Faizan h...

Earlier this morning ,ie, on 9th July 2020 , I had a vivid, vivid means very vivid dream. I wish I am long asleep  to live in that dream world . I never wanted to open my eyes.it was beautiful and ethereal. I woke up numb, wanting to cry.. I tried shutting my eyes down again in a hope that I may continue that dream. but in vain and in the entire day time, I was going back to the dream again and again, trying to replay it in my mind and trying to make a sense out of it. its like something is pulling me back, saying, its not a dream. Its real , it may happen for you. I thought of writing it down, before I forget any of the details. My conscious self is weak enough to pen down what my sub-conscious has shown to me. Yet I tried the hardest I ever can to pen it down and treasure it. It was like the whole of  my life till this moment made a sense to me suddenly. So here it is.  I wrote it as story , just to make it feel complete. The concept and many of the scene...
