Peer-e-Kamil(S.A.W) First Chapter

Chapter 1

=My life‘s dearest desire?‘ She fell into deep thought, the pen between

her lips. Then drawing a deep breath, she gave a wan smile, =Hard to

say…‘

=Why is it hard?‘ Javeria asked her.

=Because I desire so many things, and each one of them is so important

for me,‘ she replied, shaking her head.

They were both sitting at the farther end of the auditorium, their backs

to the wall. It was their eighth day at the F.Sc. classes and they spent

their free period there. Nibbling salted peanuts one by one, Javeria

repeated her question. =What‘s your life‘s dearest wish, Imama?‘

Imama looked at her with some surprise and pondered over the

question. Then parrying the question with a demand, she said, =You tell

me first what you desire most.‘

=I asked you first, so you should reply first,‘ retorted Javeria.

=Very well…let me think,‘ Imama conceded defeat. =My life‘s dearest

desire…‘ she mumbled to herself.

=Well, one wish is to live long…very long,‘ she said.

=Why?‘ laughed Javeria.

=Fifty or sixty years are too short for me. One should live to be at least a

hundred. And then there is so much I wish to do. Should I die early, all

my wishes would remain unfulfilled.‘ She popped a peanut into her

mouth.
