She has graduated from a well known university,now her only focus was to get a secure job,but unfortunately 2 months had passed and none of the places where she had given interview had responded,and even now when most of her fellow classmates had been selected by various companies and some of them had gone for higher studies,she's still sticking to the hope of getting a job soon.
"Hania,what are you thinking beta,I think you shouldn't waste your time,you will be 24 in a couple of weeks,its time you should think of getting settled",
her mom who was preparing some salad for lunch said while focusing on Hania and making her feel awkward by her gaze,
"why are you not responding",
her mom said again however now her voice raised,
"Um,mom I'm not ready yet ,and I have told you a couple of times before that once I got a job then, I will think about it",
she said while looking at her IPhone she couldn't look into her mom's eyes who was giving her a sarcastic look.
Hania's mother was never concerned about her daughter's studies,and the only thing that concerns her is that she isn't married yet and this is what annoys Hania the most about her mother.
"Hania I'm telling you again and again that you should get married,Joseph is such a nice guy,what do you think he will keep on waiting for you",
her mom's voice is raising again and Hania is sensing the anger in her tone.
"mom I'm just asking for one year,and please don't force me to marry Joseph",
before her mom could say anything her father enters the kitchen,where they were sitting.
However,there house was quite old but as it had been renovated so the kitchen was up to modern standards with dark brown cabinets with two double doors,to the right below the cabinets was the kitchen sink,all clean and tidy,showing her mother impressive cleaning skills,the sink was surrounded by a forlorn stove colored in white and black to the left and a dish rack to the right,there's also a light blue colored refrigerator located ten inches away from the dish rack and stands next to the microwave rack which houses a black microwave and a biscuit colored conventional oven, right infront of it there's a dining table suitable for a small family.
"what's for lunch,dear",
her father asked with joy in his eyes,he's a retired government employee,and nowadays he's enjoying his retired life.
"Dad mom's making biryani with spicy koftas",
Hania replied enthusiastically as if she's glad that his dad had come because of which the argument between her and her mom had stopped.
"okay then,Hania until your mom is making lunch,come with me to my study",
her father said while moving away from the kitchen table.Hania was about to get up from her seat,but her mom motioned her to stop by calling her husband,
"Where are you taking her,we were doing some serious talk,I think I need to knock some sense in your daughter,because you will not remind her that she's a woman and a woman needs a man's support",
her mother said while glaring at her husband.
Hania dad once looked at her wife and by her looks,it seemed that soon she's going to explode all her frustration on her poor daughter,and then his eyes caught Hania's who were pleading to him, through her big lustrous eyes to free her from her mom's rage.
Now there was only one way to free them from this situation,he need to act in front of her wife,he immediately start coughing recklessly in front of them,and at that moment he winked at her daughter secretly without letting her wife know,Hania immediately knew that its time for action.
Hania approached her dad,letting him to place his arm on her shoulder,and saw her mom who was quite shocked,because his husband was quite healthy,actually she was the one who had been suffering from high blood pressure due to which she easily lose her temper.
"Mom I think,dad is not feeling well I'm taking him to his study,we'll talk later",
she talked hastily while trying to suppress her smile on her father's amused act
"Yes,take him quickly,I'll come with some..."
"No mom there's no need,the medicine is already in the study",
She didn't let her complete what she was about to say and start moving toward the study,with her dad along her side.
When they entered the study,his father took his seat right beside the fireplace,and start putting some woods in the fire pit,to make the place warm and cozy,Hania was making some coffee near the coffee table that was placed at one side of the room.
