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

The thirteen-year-old boy was engrossed in a music show on TV when

Tyyaba peeped in. She looked at her son somewhat uncertainly, and

entered the room, irritated.

=What‘s going on?‘

=I‘m watching TV,‘ he replied without looking at her.

=Watching TV. For God‘s sake! Are you aware that your exams have

started?‘ Tyyaba asked, standing in front of him.

=So what?‘ he said, annoyed.

=So what? You should be in your room with your books, not sitting here

watching this vulgar show,‘ Tyyaba scolded him.

=I have studied as much as I need to. Now please move out of my way.‘

His tone reflected his irritation.

=All the same go in and study.‘ Tyyaba stood her ground.

=No. I will not get up, nor will I go in and study. My studies and my

papers are my concern, not yours.‘

=If you were concerned about your studies, would you be sitting here?‘

=Step aside.‘ He ignored Tyyaba‘s comment and rudely shooed her

away.

=I‘m going to talk to your father today.‘ Tyyaba tried a threat.

=You can talk to him for all I care. What will happen? What is he going

to do? I‘ve told you that I‘ve already prepared for my exams, so then

what‘s your problem?‘

=This is your final examination. You should be concerned about it.‘

Tyyaba softened her tone.

=I am not a four-year-old who you need to nag. I have a better

understanding of my responsibilities than you so don‘t pester me with

your silly advice.‘

=Your exams are on. Pay attention to your studies. You should be in

your room. I will have a word with your father!‘

=What rubbish!‘ Standing up, he flung the remote control at the wall

and stomping his feet, left the room. Tyyaba, helpless and humiliated,

watched him go.
