Safar khatam hogaya!
Manzil aa aa gayi!
Leyla, amairah aur aliyah teeno Apne maqami jagah par aa phonchei. 
Woh teeno is waqt hotel mei mojud the. 
Leyla reception par khari receptionist se bat kar Rahi thi. Aliyah kisi se call pe bat krrhi thi. Amairah ek konei pe khari bahir aasman ko dekh rahi thi. Aasmani rang ka aasman badlo se dhaka beyhad khubsurat lag rha tha. 
Leyla ab amairah ka pass aa Rahi thi "amairah yeh lo tumhare room ki keys, aur aliyah..." Usne hath barha kar Aaliyah ko pukarte dekha toh woh Kahi nhi dikhi "Aaliyah Kahan hai?" 
"Abhi toh yahi khari thi, pata nhi Kahan Chali gayi" Amairah ne idhar udhar Nazar dora kar Aaliyah ko dhundna chaha Lekin woh usey bhi nah dikhi
"Acha Chalo mei woh khud aajaigi message kar dugi aur ab mei jaa rahi hu soonei mujhe bilkul disturb nah Karna or tum bhi jaake rest karlo byeee" Leyla Jo ka safar ki wajah se thak chuki thi aur raat Bhar jagne ki wajah se bhi ab usey thakan ka sath nind bhi aane lagi thi 
"Okay chalo" amairah bhi usi ka Sath Jane lagi. 
Leyla Apne kamre me chali gayi aur amairah bhi apne kamre ka darwaza kholti andar dakhil hui. 
Kamre ki battiya jalai.
Cozy sa kamra. Bilkul wesa jesa amairah Siddiqui ko Pasand tha. 
Khula sa hawadar kamra. Ek khubsurat si balcony Jahan se raat me Chand ko woh jee bhar kar dekh sakti thi. 
"Waqai mei Leyla tumhara koi jawab nhi" uske labo se besakta nikla tha
Amairah apna saman ek Kone pe rakh deti. suitcase kholti aur Apne hisab ka comfortable kapre nikalti washroom bandh hojati. Kuch lamhe bad nikalti.
Geele baloo ko hairdryer se sukhati aur khule chor deti. Phr bag se mobile air charged nikalti bed ki taraf barh jati. Charger plug se lagati. Lights off krti. Bed se teik lagati lehaf tan kar beithti. Mobile unlocked krti. Contact info kholti. Samne ek number hota 'MAA'. Usey raat me maa se ki batamizi yad thi. Usey afsos bhi tha. Lekin woh kya kar sakti thi ab. Jo hona tha hogaya. Ab woh katra rahi thi. Usne Socha ka hamesha yehi toh hota tha, maa se behas hoti, phir larai hojati, aur woh kamra-band hojati, phr na Jane kitno dino tak woh maa se bat Karne mei katrati rehti magar maa hamesha pahel karka bat krleti pr woh tab bhi katrati, akhir kyu tha itna mushqil uske lie yeh sab, jab bhi uska or maa ka rishte normal normal hone lagta tab hamesha Kuch nah Kuch hojata jisse un dono ka bich phir se lakeerei khinch jati. Kyu aesa hota tha? Maa ki koi galti nhi hoti thi lekin phr bhi woh unhe hi kasurwar tehra deti thi. Kyu? Kyu woh aesi thi.
Usne apni aankhein minchi. 
Gehri saans kharij ki.
Hath me pakre mobile par number dial kia.
Mobile kaan se lagaya.
Pehli ring gayi
Dusri ring gayi
Teesri ring gayi
Na Jane kitni rings Jane ka bad awaz ubhri
"Ap jis number par bat Karna chah Rahe hai usse rabta mumkin nhi barai mehrbani Kuch dair bad call kijiye - Zong 4g laya apke lie behtrern offe....." Usne call cut krdi.
Phr maa ko message likhne lagi
"Hum log safely phonch Gai hai humari fikar mat kijiye ga aur apna khayal rakhiyega ap davaiya bhi waqt par le lijiye ga"
"Abhi mei Soo Rahi Hun agar apka call nah uthau toh parishan nhi hoye ga" 
"Allah Hafiz" 
Mobile rakh dia.
Woh sidhi ho leiti.
Karwat Lia.
Uski aankho ka samne bhot bara aina (mirror) Laga tha. Woh us aine mei dekhne lagi. Usey us Aine mei apna mazii ubharta hua dikha tha. 
5 sala choti amairah garden mei bhag rahi thi aur usi ka Piche ka pichei bhagti amairah se Chand sala bari ek larki bhi thi. Uski umar Lak-bhat 13-14 hi lagti thi. Shayad woh dono pakram pakrai kheil rahi thi. 
Choti amairah Siddiqui Jahan se begana apni masti mei bhag Rahi thi ka tabhi Kisi mazbut khambe se bht zor se takra gayi "ayee hayee aankhei ha ka button" usne apna matha sehlate hue dekha toh woh uske kad ka hisab se bhot bara dinosaur tha. Woh ek jhatke se pichei hui. Aairah bhi usi ka sath aa khari hui "papa kahan hai?" 
"Unhe kam tha is lie late hogai hai isi lie jab tak woh nhi aate tab tak mei apke sath rahuga" samne khare dinosaur numa shaks ne jawab dia toh amairah ne bigra chehra bnaya. Woh shaks ghar ka andar ki janib barh gaya toh amairah ne apni bhen aairah (آئرہ) ki aastino ko khincha toh aairah nichei ho beithi Jese usne apno choti bhen ka kad se kad milaya tha. 
"Ab humei Pura din is dinosaur ka sath rehna hoga" amairah ne pucha
"Buri bat amairah" lehje mei tanbiha thi "unhe dinosaur Keh kar dinosaurs ki toheen toh mat karo" ab ka dono hasne lage aur phir andar barh gai... 
"Dinosaur uncle" woh chillate hue Ghar ka andar dakhil hui air kitchen me jaa phonchi jahan uske dinosaur uncle unke lie Khana tayar kar rahe the. Woh dono bhi wahi chair khinchti beith gayi. Amairah Apne galoo par dono hath tikai bhot gour o fikar se dinosaur uncle ko Kam karta dekh rahi thi jbke aairah mobile use karrahi thi
"uncle mujhe chocolate biryani khani hai" farmaish amairah ki thi aur is bar dinosaur uncle ka sath sath aairah ko bhi Apne kaano par yakin nhi hua tha 'chocolate biryani seriously amairah' usne barbaraya jabke dinosaur uncle lab bhinchte Reh gai... Amairah bhot piyari bachi thi lekin woh kehte hai nah ka bache jitne piyare hote hai utne hi shaytan bhi hote hai. Amairah bhi Wohi thi. Kabhi bhot piyari toh kabhi shaytan ki bhi nani. 
Kuch dair bad jab Khana lag gaya toh amairah apni chair ka oper khari hogyi aur awaz unchi kar ka khufgi se kaha "yeh Kya hai meine chocolate biryani kaha th or Apne yeh konsi ajeeb si biryani de di mujhe" 
"Amairah yeh chocolate biryani hi hai" uncle ne kaha toh amairah niche beith kr phir se puri plate ka jaiza Lene lagi jisme chocolate ka Naam o nishan tak nah tha 'Lekin uncle me toh kaha ha yeh chocolate biryani ha oh toh uncle mujhe budhu bana rahe hai' usne Dil me Socha
"Ap jhut keh Rahe ho isme chocolate brown color ka hota ha toh chocolate biryani bhi brown honi chahiye" aur uncle bas thandi saans Bhar kar reh gai jabke aairah apni kursi pichei karti uth khari hui aur fridge ki taraf jaa barii. Usne fridge se chocolate nikala or wapis apni jagah aa beithi. Amairah ki plate li, chocolate Ka wrapper hataya aur chocolate pieces me karte hue biryani me mix kardiya phr plate amairah ka agei kar diya "yeh lo tumhari chocolate biryani" 
Amairah ka chehre ka tasrat lamhe mei badal gai. Uske laboo pr bhot masoom or piyari si muskurahat khil gai. Woh plate aagei kar ka apni chocolate biryani khane lag gayi. Amairah ko aese Khushi aur excitement se khata dekh aairah bhi muskura di jabke dinosaur uncle sochte reh gai 'is larki ka Kuch nhi hosakta'.
