Peer-e-Kamil(S.A.W) First Chapter
=Stop talking about me. Tell me about yourself. What is your
heart‘s
greatest desire?‘ Imama changed the subject.
=Let it go…‘
=Why let it go? Come on tell me…‘
=You will be offended if I say it.‘ Javeria spoke hesitatingly.
Imama turned around in surprise to look at her. =Why would I
be
offended?‘
Javeria was quiet.
=What is it that I will mind?‘ Imama repeated her question.
=You will…‘ Javeria murmured.
=Why should your life‘s greatest wish so affect my life that
I would get
upset?‘ Imama was quite irritated. =Is it your wish that I
not become a
doctor?‘ Imama seemed to suddenly remember.
=Oh, no!‘ laughed Javeria. =There is more to life than being
a doctor,‘
she stated philosophically.
=Stop talking in riddles and answer me,‘ Imama said firmly.
=I promise I
will not mind anything you say.‘ She held out her hand in a
gesture of
peace.
=Regardless of your promise you are going to be very angry
when you
hear what I have to say. Let‘s talk of something else,‘
Javeria replied.
=All right—let me guess. Your decision is linked to
something of great
value to me, right?‘ queried Imama after a thoughtful pause.
Javeria nodded her head.
=The question is: what is so important to me that I should…‘
she
stopped in mid-sentence. =But unless I know the nature of
your wish, I
cannot come to a conclusion. Javeria, tell me please. The
suspense is too
much for me,‘ she pleaded.
Javeria was lost in thought. Imama studied her face. Javeria
looked up
at her after a while.
=Other than my career, there is only one thing I value most
in my life,‘
Imama addressed her, =and if you want to say something in
that context,
then say so. I won‘t mind.‘ Imama was serious.
Javeria was taken aback. Imama was looking at the ring on
her hand. A
smile crossed Javeria‘s face.
=My life‘s dearest wish is that you….‘ Javeria revealed her
thoughts.
Imama‘s face went white with shock. Javeria could not guess
the impact
her words had on Imama, but the expression on her face
showed that
the reaction was much more intense than she had expected.
=I did tell you that you would be offended,‘ Javeria tried
to redeem the
situation, but Imama stared back without a word.
