Abdul Qayum: (Saying) Good morning uncle Wali… hope you are not tired… in this cold early morning how warm will be your place!
Uncle Wali: (Deeply breathing and replied) Good morning to you… hope you ok… come here… come here Qayum Jan!
Abdul Qayum: (Laughing) I hope that I would not disturb you uncle Wali! Wouldn’t you say that from where this Qayum come and now making trouble for me?
Uncle Wali: (Laughing and Exhausted) what you are saying… welcome… (Calling) Omaid… Omaid Jan! Hurry up go and bring tea for us from that coffee shop…
Omaid: (From Far) ok father just now! Black or green?
Uncle Wali: (Saying) bring green my dear…
Abdul Qayum: Who’s he? Is he your apprentice?
Uncle Wali: (With tiredness) he is my youngest child; others are busy with their lives and activities, only this one left…. It is better for me to have him with him as to pay money to the apprentice!
Abdul Qayum: (Thinking) but he is very little, the smith work is not heavy for him uncle Wali?
Uncle Wali: (With tiredness) he is too young for this but what to do, I am not doing all the work on him…
Abdul Qayum: As much you do less work on him, still the iron-smith work is very hard; look at this hot temperature here… I would say to hire a grown up pupil for yourself and pay him, it is better than to make him sick and disable in future!
Uncle Wali: (Thinking) you are saying right… some parts of his hand is already burnt and sometimes he is complaining of his eyes!
Abdul Qayum: Yes, uncle Wali… as some parts of his hand is burnt and he is complaining of his eyes and still you are working on him… fear from God… you are ruining his future…
