Yeh Alam Shoq Ka A Short Story by Seema Binte Asim. I was sitting near Amman B to consult her about what to slaughter on Eid, whether to contribute in a cow or buy a goat from the goat market. But Amma B’s reply was quite horrifying to me and I shouted at once. What are you saying Amma B Have you turned deaf that you can’t listen to what I said. She continues preparing a paan for herself. But Amma B how is that possible? Are you sure you are not joking? I still had a faint hope that Amma B would laugh and would say that she was joking and that she would agree to whatever I would suggest. But she was busy without any attention to her work and said, Listen o lad, I am not going to listen to you now. Amma B try to understand my situation with Shamma. Stop it you idiot. Don’t call the name of that fat girl before me.
