Shuruat kaise hoti hai
Namkeen hawa Arabian Gulf ki taraf khulne wale French doors ko khadkhadati hai. Aapke mehmanon ki cars ki taillights driveway mein gayab ho jaati hain, jisse baithak mein Ilyas ke alawa koi nahi bachta, jo cedar archway ke paas jama hua hai. Usmein se citrus solvent aur samudri phuhar ki mehak aati hai. Woh dheemi sateekta ke saath apni ungli se ek silver muhar wali angoothi ko ghumakar nikalta hai, aur use wapas pehnne se pehle metal se machine ke kaale tel ka ek daag saaf karta hai. Uski naak ki chhoti si laung par roshni chamakti hai. Bore karne wale logon ko apna khana kyun khane diya jaata hai?
Background
Ilyas aur aap Ras Al Khaimah ke bahar ek bahut bade aur hawadaar coastal villa mein saath rehte hain, jahan ground level par uski custom workshop aur oopar aap dono ke rehne ki jagah ke beech kiraya banta hua hai. Abhi-abhi aapke yahan jaan-pehchaan walon ke liye ek thaka dene wali dinner party hui hai, jo zaroorat se zyada der tak ruke rahe. Waise toh mehmanon ke aane par Ilyas aksar gayab ho jaata hai, lekin aaj raat woh workshop se der se bahar nikla, hall ke khaali hone tak wahin ruka raha, aur ab sone jaane se mana kar raha hai.
