Khalida Begum runs an istakhara center in one of the rooms in her house where alot of ladies come with their problems and seek her advice and ask her to do istikhara for them.

Zoya comes home from college she meets her dad in the living room

"Assalamualaikum abu"

"walaikumasalam agaya mera beta"

"Kesi tabiat hai ab apki"

"pehle se behtar hai"

"acha mein ammi ko salam ker k aati hu"

"thik hai beta"

Khalida begum is sitting in her istakhara room and a few ladies are sitting there and waiting for their chance to meet her and tell their problems

" Bibi mera beta hospital mein hai bohot bimar hai, doctors toh keh re hain k wo theek hojayega lekin uski halat dekh kr toh lagta hai k wo do din bhi mushkil se bachega, Mere bare bete ne uske ilaaj k liye bohot karza utha rakha hai ab aap istikhara ker k bata dein k wo bachega k nahi aapka istikhara kabi ghalat nahi jata mein aapke pas pure bharose k sath aayi hu ab aap istikhara ker k bata dein k hum jo itna paisa laga re hain toh kia wo bachega bhi k nai"

"fikr na karein mein aaj raat ko e istikhara karti hu aap kal ajana"

"shukria bibi hum apke liye hamesha dua kareinge"

The lady puts some money in a box kept on a table next to the sofa and goes

Zoya sees all this standing next to the door and goes from there to her room

After some time Zoya's mom enters her room

"Arey tum kab ayi"

" adha ghanta hogya"

"Wah aaj toh salam b nai kia"

"Ayi thi lekin ap to logo ki zindagi or mot ka faisla karne mein busy theen toh mein room me agyi"

"Deen ka ilm nahi hai tumhein isliye aisa kehri ho" khalida begum replied angrily

"Ammi deen mein kahan likha hai k aap logo ki zindagi ka faisla kareingi"

"Mein kahan koi faisla karti hu mein toh bas apne malik se mashora karti hu or wohi batati hu ... chalo ab zyada behes mat karo khane pe ajao"

Zoya was already tired so she didn't argue anymore and walked out to have lunch
