She stepped out of the car and looked at herself to make sure if the big dupatta which was not less than a shawl was covering her properly or not. And it was perfectly wrapped around her shoulders giving full coverage till mid thighs.
"Let's go." Daniyal whispered.
"Deni, Badi Amma will scold me if she sees me in these clothes." She bit her lower lip and Daniyal jerked his head.
"You're not wearing revealing clothes, don't worry. If she's sitting in the hall then just rush to the bedroom while doing salam, I'll handle the rest." Nodding her head Shifa slowly opened the door and walked towards the hall which was empty, with a big smile she took steps towards the bedroom when a voice stopped her.
"Khatija, Dulhan ko wapas bulao kab tak apne mayke mein rahegi? Ghar suna suna lag rha hai uske bina." She smiled after listening to Badi Amma's voice which came from her bedroom.
(Khatija, summon Dulhan back, for how long will she live in her maternal home? This home is looking empty without her.)
"Ji Badi Amma, baat karti hu Daniyal se."
(Yeah Badi Amma, I'll talk to Daniyal.)
"Zara Dulhan se baat hi kra do... Uski awaaz sune huye bhi do din ho gye,"
(At least call her, it has been two days since I haven't listened to her voice.)
"Aapko Shifa ki yaad aa rhi hai?" Asked Mrs Kazmi and Shifa waited for the reply.
(Are you missing her?)
"Umm... Nhi, Yaad to nhi aa rahi, main kyu yaad karungi use? Wo to bas aadat ho gyi hai use aas paas dekhne ki, ab saamne nhi hai na to ajeeb Khali Khali lag rha hai... Wapas bulao use, warna mujhe le chalo uske mayke, main khud le kar aaungi use." Shifa smiled when she listened to the conversation and stepped to her bedroom, without wasting much time she changed herself in a beautiful pair of clothes which was already hung in her cupboard and went to Badi Amma's room.
(Umm... No I'm not missing her... Why would I miss her? It's just like that I'm use to of seeing her around and when she's not here it's feeling empty. Call her back or take me to her maternal home, I'll take her back with me.)
"Assalamualaikum Badi Amma." Shifa greeted with enthusiasm, she was happy that Badi Amma was missing her. "Kesi hain aap?" Shifa asked while sitting beside Mrs Kazmi and passed her a smile. Mrs Kazmi passed the same smile and open her arms for Shifa who hugged her happily.
"I was missing you Ammi." Breaking the hug Shifa muttered but she got an unexpected reply from Badi Amma.
"Yaad aa gyi tumhe ki sasural me bhi koi rehta hai? Ab bhi kyu wapas aa gyi Bibi mayke me rehti rehti, kya zarurat hai wapas aane ki?"
(Finally you remember that you have a family who lives in your in-laws home. Why you are back? Stay with your parents for even more!)
Shifa gulped fearfully and Daniyal entered in the room with a smile. "Dekhiye Ammi, aapki Bahu ko wapas le aaya main."
(See Ammi, I've taken your daughter-in-law back.)
"Zindagi mein pehli baar koi achha kaam kra hai aapne..." Mrs Kazmi said wholeheartedly but Shifa shook her head
(First time ever you did a great job.)
"Nahi ammi, dusri baar. Pehla achha kaam to mujhse shadi kar ke kra tha." She chirped and everyone burst into a guffaw, Badi Amma was suppressing her laughter but she was also smiling.
(No Ammi, this is the second great thing. Marrying me was his first great decision.)
"Chalo ab jao mere liye zara ek piyali chai bana do." Badi Amma ordered Shifa and she nodded.
