Solace

I loved it.

I loved the ending.

Brought a smile to my lips.

:-)

rozaiba, very well written and absorbing, as usual. Remind me never to ride with u ;)

Rozaiba:

i chuckled at this keen observation:

Mom has watched the proceedings yet has said nothing. Though she has been thanking Allah that I was all right after the accident, she doesn’t realize that I’m going through worse pains from the beatings by Dad. Instead she is waiting for this part of the punishment to be over so that she can get me to place my hand on the goat’s head before it is sacrificed as sadqa.

...good narration and observations marred by a few typos:)...keep checking:)

Hello Rozaiba Sahib
Finally, `Solace` at front page. As I have said it earlier, simple words weaved into absorbing/touching narration. There indeed is ``great solace in prayer`` and the eyes of your beloved:). Take care.

Its simply worth an applause :))

very enjoyable read Rozaiba !!

Enjoyable throughout!
“There is great solace in prayer.”
And ended beautifully!

Rozaiba

Yes, there’s great solace in prayer...but one has to have a mindset for it. Rituals without connecting with God is pointless and a waste of time.

Chemistry is what matters...everything else is secondary...the point of your very well written story. Enjoyed it.

thanks all!

Ispahani, I`m still going over your response.

Rozaiba,

That was very sweet.

So, did you give the sadqa ?

it is nice one...
it was a common story of winning others in price of ourself.
aur haan. there is solace in prayers the true solace

aloo ka parathas for breakfast? what wa ay to start your day. no wonder the day ended in an accident and abba ji`s phainti...

Well Its about time you realised the power of prayer my friend.

Hope this accident makes you devoted. (To pryayer that is).

rozaiba:

loved the descriptions you`ve used in the story. there were however a few typos which the editors have overlooked.

Your mother and Rabia both were right in the first place. and to conclude the thing with a positive note, would you tell us where the sadqa has gone anyway?-:) We all need such mothers and Rabias in our lives.

overall, good stuff.
