Brother's fast Story

 Brother's fast

Saleem's brother was shocked by the sound of the drums. Unfortunately, there are so many crackers that we don't even know that tomorrow is the first day of fasting.

Well done brother John! You know that tomorrow is the first day of fasting. Baji Suraya said in a mischievous tone.

Love! This is also something to forget. The brother said.

But brother! You forget every year. Tahir said.

How ?

By keeping the whole thirty days of fasting.

Najma said smiling.

Oh! That's it. All of you brothers and sisters are making fun of me. But let me tell you that if I do not fast for thirty-one days now, then my name is not Saleem.

Brother John! Najma said.

So this time you will also fast on the day of Eid?

We all smiled at that and went out in a daze.

When we all went to wake up my brother at dawn, we found out that he had eaten breakfast. I asked my mother to speak.

I woke up Saleem.

He has also eaten sehri. But he used to say that he only told Pervez, Tahir, Najma and Suraya that Saleem did not eat sehri. He will fast at eight o'clock.

Around 7 o'clock in the morning we were reciting the Quran from Maulvi Sahib when Bhai Saleem also entered with his mouth hanging open.

Is Saleem Mian fasting? Maulvi Sahib asked his brother.

Yes ! If it is kept. But at eight o'clock Tahir replied to Maulvi Sahib's question.

Why ?

So that thirty days may be completed in fifteen days. Najma said smiling.

Maulvi Sahib laughed and his brother shouted.

Maulvi Sahib, you are also making fun of me along with them. I am having fast. If not, tell them. After saying that, the brothers went out.

Najma spoke after Maulvi Sahib left.

I have some doubts about my brother's fast. We supported it.

But how do they know that they are fasting? I said.

Don't they synthesize? Tahir said.

Which one Talk to you soon.

That's what I did to you last year.

Okay fine.

Najma spoke and we walked towards the bazaar.

Where did these fruits and sweets come from in my room? The brothers entered the room and spoke.

Your friend Hameed has been given and it has been said that we are coming now. I said.

Better now you go. If Hamid comes, send him inside.

Open the door, Slam! Tahir changed his voice and spoke.

who is ? The brother spoke from within.

I am Hamid.

Good luck! Are you here Speak slowly brother! I open the door. Look here and there, no one is hiding!

No one.

open the door.

As soon as the door opened we all went inside. I looked at my brother and he was standing with his mouth closed.

What was happening, brother John? Tahir said.

nothing ! They were fighting. Talk to you soon.

no ! Najma said. I tell The brothers were dividing the fast into two parts.

why ? I said.

So that thirty days may be completed in fifteen days.
