`Usne munh phera. Takya jhaara. Aur let gaya.`
`Aankh lagi.`
`Aur sab khatam.`
`Na khawab. Na saans. Na khayal.`
`Sirf gehri, bhari khamoshi.`
`Subah...`
`Dhoop thi. Awaaz thi. Zindagi thi.`
`Danish utha. Takya saaf tha.`
`Na mitti. Na nishaan.`
`Usne hanste hue sir jhatka.`
`'Abe... raat ka nasha tha.'`
`Usne sab bhool diya.`
`Box bhool gaya. Raat bhool gaya. Saans bhool gaya.`
`Jese kisi ne uske dimagh se page phaar diya ho.`
`Wo seedha site pe gaya.`
`Shahzada Heights.`
`3 Manzila. 9 Flats.`
`Karachi ki mehngi zameen pe Danish ka sab se bara sapna.`
`'Sir, aaj neev mazboot karni hai,' Foreman bola.`

`'Sir, yahan chhat nahi hai. Koi deewar nahi tooti. Phir...'`
`Danish ne store room ki har deewar thapki.`

`3:09 PM. Teesra Qissa.`
`Teesre Flat ki chhat.`
`Bina hawa. Bina jhatkay. Bina wajah.`

`Sab khamosh ho gaye.`
`Foreman dheere se bola: 'Sir... zameen humein nahi chahti.'`
`Danish ne usay ghoor ke dekha. 'Bakwas band kar. Kaam kar.'`
`Lekin kaam... ruk nahi raha tha.`
`Ulta tez ho raha tha.`
`Jese koi peeth peeche dhakka de raha ho.`
`Jo kaam 2 haftay ka tha... wo 3 din me hua.`
`Deewaren khari. Plaster hua. Tiles lag gayi.`
`Mazdoor khud hairan thay.`
`'Sir, haath khud chal rahay hain,' ek bola.`

`Aur tab...`
`Dimagh me jhatka.`
`Ek tasveer.`
`Lakri. Purani. 11 Feet lamba. 20 Inch tang.`
`'Box...' Uske munh se nikla.`
`Usay yaad aya.`
`'Haan... wo Box. Ghar me para hai. Office me jaga nahi.'`
`'Ise basement me rakh dete hain. Wahan andhera hai. Safe hai.'`
`Usay laga ye uska faisla hai.`
`Usay pata nahi tha... ye faisla uska nahi tha.`

`'Bismillah parho,' Danish bola.`
`Lekin khud bhool gaya.`
`4 logon ne zor lagaya.`
`Box nahi hila.`
`Dosri baar.`
`Nahi hila.`

`Truck me lada. Office le aaye.`
`Basement ka darwaza khula.`
`Geela. Thanda. Boo.`
`Wahi boo... jo takye pe thi.`
`Box ko neeche rakha gaya.`
`Jese hi lakri ne pathar chhua...`
`4 ke 4 mazdoor ek saath ruk gaye.`
`Kyun? Kisi ko pata nahi.`
`'Pese lo. Jao,' Danish bola.`
`Mazdoor bhaag gaye. Peeche mur ke nahi dekha.`
`Danish akela reh gaya. Box ke saath.`
`Usne Box ko dekha. Band. Tala laga.`
`'Ab theek hai,' wo bola. Aur seediyan chadh gaya.`
`Ek qadam pe uska dil ruka.`
`Ek dhak.`
`Phir chal pada.`
`Usne seenay pe haath rakha.`
`Neeche se... khar-khar...`
`Jese mitti lakri pe ungli pher rahi ho.`
`Usne mur ke dekha.`
`Andhera.`
`Box.`

`'Sir, location bht achi hai,' ek client bola.`
`Danish hasa. 'Building bhi achi hai. 3 din me tyar hui.'`
`Usay yaad nahi tha... 3 din kaise hue thay.`

`Achanak...`
`Uske jism me jhatka.`
`Zor ka jhatka.`
`Brush uske haath se gir gaya.`
`Saleem peeche gira.`
`Zameen pe.`

`Usne upar dekha.`
`Andhera.`
`Bilkul andhera.`
`'Bijli to nahi hai...' Uske munh se nikla.`
`Sab khamosh ho gaye.`
`Sirf Saleem hil raha tha.`
