"I am Home" exclaimed Hala as she entered home after a long day at work. Being an interior designer it sometimes becomes a tiring day specially if you are an overly passionate one and move shop to shop just to find the best piece. Surprised to find it dark at home and no response from her lovelies unlike usual times. She followed the light coming from their bedroom. On reaching Hala found the bathroom door open and giggling sounds coming from there. Opening the door wide she found Hamza sitting on his knees infront of the bathtub with his back towards the door and the water was splashed all over the floor.

Hala: Hamza...

Hearing her he immediately turned facing her but shifting uncomfortably towards the bathtub as if trying to hide something.

Hamza: H...H..Hala tum a..a..aa gyi ?

Hala: Haan...tum yahaan kya kar rahe ho aur Hazel kahaan hai

"Mai yahaan hu mama" a little girl aged 4 peeped from behind of Hamza

Hala: Hazel yeh tumhaare haath mei k..k..kya hai

Hala asked stammering in a feared tone while Hamza banged his forehead at his daughter's excitement. Lesser did she know about her mama's fear for dogs. "Congratulations Hamza, ab dekh Hala kaise teri band bajati hai" he murmured.

Hazel: Yeh hmaara new doggie hai mama...maine iska naam 'ham' rakha hai...achha hai na

Hala: Nahi...bilkul nahi...yeh ghar mei kaise ghusa hamza ?

She shot a glare at her poor husband who was amazed to see her growl even when she was shivering in fear because of the little creature.

Hamza: Hazel aap Ham ko thodi deir ke liye uske kennel mei band Kar do

Hazel: okay dadda

As Hala saw the puppy leaving the premises she turned to Hamza and was about to bash him when he held her hands took her out to make her sit on the bed.

Hamza: kuch bhi bolne se pehle meri baat sunn lo

Hala: kya suno...tumhe pataa hai na Hamza mujhe dogs se kitna darr lagta hai aur tum ek dog ghar ke ander le aaye

Hamza: meri baat to suno pehle...aaj jab Hazel aur Mai park gye to wahaan jhaadiyon ke pass kuch dogs bark Karr rahe thhe, dekha to Hume wahaa yeh chota sa puppy milla...Hum isse wahan nahi chor sakte thhe unke beech. Yeh bohot chota hai aur itna masoom bhi isiliye hum isse shelter home chorne Gaye per wahaan Hazel ne isse chora hi nahi...Jab Hum nikalne lage to Hazel bohot rone lagi...aur yeh bhi uski taraf dekhe jaa raha tha...jaanti ho Hazel ne ice-cream tak khaane se manaa Karr diya. Then I decided to get him home, lekin uss se pehle Mai isse vet ke pass le gya wahaan iska check up karwaya, vaccination karwayi, iske zaroori saaman bhi liye tabhi ghar laya. Yeh bohot ganda tha to Hazel aur Mai isse nehla rahe thhe jab tum aayi.

Hala: Wo sab theek hai Hamza aur Mai tumhare decision prr sawaal nahi utha rahi lekin yeh bhi to dekho ki mujhe dogs se bohot dar lagta hai...tum to jaante ho na

Hamza: Hala yeh dogs jo hote hai na, inke mijaas ko samjhna mushkil nahi hota unlike humans, yeh wahi dikhate hai jo inke dil mei hota hai...tumne apne itne Darron per kaabu paaya hai to kya tum iss dar se darna band krne ka try nahi Karr sakti...aur kisi ke liye na sahi to atleast hmaari Hazel ke liye...wo bohot khush hai Hala

After thinking a lot finally Hala spoke up.

Hala: Theek hai...prr please puppy se kehna wo mujhse doori bnaaye rakhe

Hamza: Hala !!

Hala: Matlb sirf tab tak ke liye jab tak Mai uske saath comfortable nahi ho jaati...nd please kuch Dino ke liye usse cage mei rakhna

She justified herself immediately

Hamza: Theek hai...ab chale Bahar, Hazel wait kar rahi hai

Hala: Haan

She said being skeptical about her decision to accept the dog for her family's happiness but then one thing struck her mind.

Hala: Ek baat btao

Hamza: Poocho

Hala: tumhara koi underworld connection hai kya road wale doggies ke saath...jab bhi wo kisi per aise bhaukte hai tum unse Larne pauhach jaate ho

Hamza had a good laugh at her statement making her giggle too.

Hamza: Nahi yrr...aisa kuch nahi hai

Hala: Ho sakta hai ho, dekho jab pichli baar wo aise bhaunk rahe thhe tab tumne mujhe bachaaya, tum meri dhaal bane aur aage iss duniya se ladai mei bhi madad ki, meri taakat bane, aur ab yeh puppy. Besahaara loggon ko Sahara dena, main kaam hai tumhara, yeh factory wagera to side business hai.

Hamza: Hahahaha...ho sakta hai...lekin pehli baar wala buisiness nahi tha balki selfish motive tha bcs tab to mujhe meri zindagi mili thi, mai jaanta bhi nahi tha Kitna adhoora hu, lekin jab tum meri zindagi mei aayi tab samjh aaya Kitna badaa hissa ho tum mera

He hugged her tightly to himself feeling content of life to find her with him.

Hala: Mai bhi bohot pyaar karti hu tumse

Hazel: Mama Dadda...kahaan hai aap dono

Hazel shouted from the living room. Hearing her, they both separated from the hug and looked at each other intensely.

Hamza: ek baar aur madam ka paigam aaya to wo khud yahaan aa jaayegi. Tum fresh ho jao Mai dinner lagata hu

Nodding with a smile Hala went to change not before cursing the duo for creating a water mess making Hamza giggle at her state.
