Father: Hey lady… what you have made… it has no taste and color… I am working the whole day and bringing money but eating poison…
Mother: It is ok Parwin’s father… I had no concentration… so put a bit more salt… if you are saying then I will cook eggs for you…
Father; Eggs on your head… you four legs animal… careless… you never care of your activities… you never made a proper food… I don’t know where your thoughts are…
Parwin: My father is right mummy… the food is too much spicy… I think you have burnt it…
Mother: (Unhappily) it is ok daughter… if you are not eating collect the table cloth…
Father: (With anger) yes… collect it all… put all of it in front of the cat…
Mother: (Unhappily) Why should she put it in front of the cat… I will eat it in the lunch tomorrow…
Father: (With anger) you should not eat so that she eat… you are also not less than an animal…
Mother: (Unhappily) it is ok man… don’t be disappointed this much… don’t be angry like this…
Father: (With anger) enough… don’t exchange words with me… you donkey… silly…
Mother: (Sadly) why are you abusing this much… I am also a human… don’t insult me in front of this girl…
Father: (With anger) shut up… I don’t have the patience… Parwin… go and bring some tea my throat is irritating…
Parwin: (With fear) Ok father… I will just bring it…
(Sound of opening and closing of the door)
Father: (With anger) tomorrow night my cousin will come home for clearance… be sure to make a proper dish… understand or not?
Mother: (Calling) Parwin… hey Parwin… it is lunch time… please heat up the night’s food so that we eat…
Parwin: (Replying) what are you saying mummy… wait… I am coming…
Mother: (With herself) now this daughter is not obeying me…
(Sound of opening and closing of the door)
Parwin: (With Jest) were you saying something mummy?
Mother: (With kindness) daughter I am busy… put the pot on the oven to heat up the food… it is just a waste to throw it away… go sweet daughter…
Parwin: (With Jest) I am not going to eat… I am not an animal to eat such things… I am going to make chips for myself… if you are eating then I will warm it up for you… it is not eatable…
Mother: (Unhappily) now you are also making jokes of me like your father… you are also abusing me… aren’t you shamed?
Parwin: (Quickly) No… I am not abusing you… I am saying that this food is not eatable… just I will make chips for myself…
Mother: (Unhappily) it is ok… I will only eat… you make chips for yourself… but be careful not to hurt your hands… the potatoes are in the back store…
Parwin: (Laughing) mummy my thoughts are in its place… I won’t hurt myself…
(Sound of opening and closing of door)
Mother: (With anger) look at this condition… now this girl is also talking at me… God save me… it is all the sin of this man… he is talking too much that now Parwin is also make jokes of me… anyways… I need to sew these cloths because at night we have guests… I have to cook a proper dish…
Fawad: God bless you sister-in-law… the food was very delicious…
Mother: (With Kindness) thank you… you are most wecome…
Father: (Laughing) it is your luck Fawad brother… otherwise your sister-in-law is not making good meals
Parwin: (Laughing) my father is right… my mother never takes care… all the time her food is not delicious…
Fawad: (Unhappily) Parwin… dear niece… stand up and go and wash the dishes… you are well grown up… help your mummy…
Parwin: (Happily) ok uncle… (opening and closing sound of the door)
Fawad: (With Sympathy) Parwin’s father… if I tell you something don’t mind…
Father: (Laughing) No… why would I mind… tell me what is the matter…
Fawad: (With Sympathy) do you know brother… the children are always learning from their elders… we elders should really take care of our behaviors… if our behaviors are not ok then the children are also repeating these behaviors…
Mother: (With anxiety) it is clear… Parwin’s father sometimes calls me animal and careless… now Parwin also learnt these things… I don’t have any value in this house…
Fawad: (With Sympathy) it is ok sister-in-law… before this my brother was not in concern with this issue… from now onward he will be careful…
Father: (With Shame) what should I say… the previous generation children were not able to talk in front of the parents…
Fawad: If tomorrow my sister-in-law tells you something then Parwin will also learn that and will call you so… I mean all of us should be very careful to our words and behaviors…
