EXCITEMENT

The next scene was could just be an imaginary. They both were hugging and jumping in excitement. They were crying in joy. They went in. After seeing each other they forgot to invite me and Salaam in but we went in by our own. Maa and aunt were sitting on the cozy sofa, chatting. I really loved that carom game and wanted to play again so I said Salaam to bring it. We went in Salaam's room and played carom only 15 minutes that I was tired. I exited his room and saw that maa and aunt were in kitchen doing the same; chatting. We also went in the kitchen. Aunt looked at both of us and smiled and asked "what do you both want to eat after that dangerous journey to my house. Your mom told me everything about your journey. You're very clever." I replied "aunt just a roti. I'm really hungry." Maa chatted with aunt till around 9 pm! It was limits of excitement. Then at 9:30 after eating dinner maa went to sleep so did Salaam. Aunt was reading newspaper. I went to her. When she looked at me she smiled and asked "what's the matter?" I said "aunt I want to talk about something. Just promise me that until I don't say don't speak any word about this with maa. Only I know about this thing." Aunt put her newspaper down and sat attentively and said "ok I promise. What's the issue?" "aunt you know that how much maa is stressed about baa's going lost. You're also known about this going loss of baa. So I wanted to inform you that baa is not lost. He is just captured and is in prison. I haven't told this to maa because I didn't want to make her get more depressed. So please in the name of Allah don't tell maa about the imprisonment of baa. Ok?" I said. Aunt's smiling face became sad. She said "don't worry I won't tell her about this. So what will you do now?" I replied "I will just think about it but it's my promise that one day if I remain alive I will get him released even if I need to take a step legal or illegal." I went to sleep in Salaam's room.
