GAMA, CLANDESTINI, SHORT STORY, SARFRAZ BAIG






Gama

When they brought Chaudary Ghulam Rasul in a Dessio village’s hospital which is close to Milan, he was in severe condition. When doctors discussed each other and decided that to save Chaudary Ghulam Rasul's life there is only one way that we should cut his right arm.
This is doctor's everyday’s job, their job is to save life but sometime many patients die in front of them and they can't do anything. Doctor Giuseppe Galvani made his heart strong and came to tell this Pakistan’s Punjabi robust man that we will cut your arm. When Chaudary sahib heard this news salted water started coming out from his eyes and he got drowned in deep thoughts.
..........................................
Gama means Ghulam Rasul passed through many hardships and he came to Germany. His father was an ordinary man and he used to get ready huqas (Hubble bubble) for chaudarys. In his whole life he did this job but Gama had only one goal and destiny that by any means he should go to abroad or some European country and that's what he did. Since he was in Germany he was no more Gama, he was Ghulam Rasul.
When he came to Germany somebody gave him suggestion that you should apply for political stay. As Gama, who was now Ghulam Rasul, got acquainted with this new environment in a short span of time, he added Shah (Shah or Syed means when you have this sir name that you are direct descendent of Mohammad peace be upon him)  with his name. When he applied for the political asylum he applied with this new name called Ghulam Rasul Shah. Now people used to call him Shah Sahib (shah or Syed means the people who are directly descendent of Prophet Mohammad P.B.U.H. from his daughter side Fatima. They are very respectable). People used to give him a lot of respect because of being Shah. Gama used to wake up early in the morning and his job was to do publicity work for the pizzeria where he was working and he used to go door to door to distribute pamphlets of pizzeria. In the evening he used to help pizza maker, preparing material, cutting salad, dish washing and cleaning the kitchen. He had free lodgement from political asylum department and he used to eat in pizzeria where he was working and on the other hand he used to collect some social benefit from social security office. Whatever he used to earn from pizzeria, he used to send that money to his father. Gama means, Ghulam Rasul who was now Shah Sahib, He had sex with nearly all prostitutes who were living around the place where he was staying. Where he was staying there was a big brothel house. Gama used to go there every week regularly, he never repeated girl again, and sometime he used to go twice a week. He wasn't alcoholic but his philosophy was that about drinking alcohol, with alcohol he kills his internal germs. Sometime he used to smoke hashish just for tranquillity and to relax himself. Now nobody knew he was Gama or Ghulam Rasul, everyone knew that he was Shah Sahib. His father bought a piece of land with the money which he used to send him regularly. He renovated the house as well. Now Gama was dreaming to construct a house on a piece land in city area which his father already bought it. Asylum department refused his application but he applied for appeal against their decision. So he was waiting for their answer either they will refuse it or accept it. During this period Italy opened immigration and Gama took all his belongings and came to Milan. Gama was very clever; he didn't spend even a single penny to come to Italy from Germany. He took the advantage of being Shah Sahib. There were few people in Germany they knew about him that he is fake Shah but in Italy nobody knew that. He never cooked at home, never cleaned house even somebody submitted his papers, free of cost, that gentleman thought that like this He will get some good position in paradise. Now someone gave suggestion to Shah Sahib I mean to Gama that Germans have taken your finger prints, so you change your name and date of birth otherwise it will be very difficult for you to get papers. For this purpose, Gama, Ghulam Rasul, Ghulam Rasul Shah was now Chaudary Ghulam Rasul Shah. Before he used to get respect being a Shah and now he used to suppress and degrade people being a Chaudary.
Gama was very lucky that he got papers very soon and he found job as well. He used to go to factory six days a week and he used to do overtime as well, but he wasn't convinced what he was earning. The money he used to save in Germany, he wasn't saving that much money in Italy. He got upset, he thought, he has advantage of papers but his expenses were increased. Somebody gave him an idea that send sick leave and find some illegal job without paying any tax. He liked the idea and he started doing like this but his budget was upset because his father started construction work on the piece of land which they had in city. He fixed ceiling fans in all rooms and where he was supposed to be spending his wedding night his father fixed air conditioner. Even though he decided that there should be ceiling fans in corridors and verandas as well. His father found a graduate girl for him as well. For all this Gama needed a lot of money but he wasn't achieving his target. This time Gama applied for infortunio, which means accident at work or during work. He hurt his finger intentionally. From now on, until unless he wasn't healed, INAIL should have to pay every month because it was infortunio sul lavoro, mishap during work. He continued infortunio for six months than reluctantly he told them that now he is fine and he restarted his work. After couple of month his same finger got injured again, so he was again on infortunio for six months. Where Gama was working, the factory owners new all these tactics but they can't go against rules because INAIL and INPS used to deduct taxes from Gama's pay slip.
This time when Gama went to INAIL's office to stop infortunio, somebody gave him an idea that if you cut your finger than you will earn a lot of money and it's quite possible they send you on pension. On the other hand you can find some illegal job as well.
Gama's finger got injured once again which was injured twice. He didn’t care of his wound, never clean it because he wanted, they should cut his finger and he will start getting pension money. His finger's wound was getting worse and worse and he was still working at the same place illegally where he used to work during infortunio.
One night Gama felt a severe and terrible pain, they took him to pronto scorso (first aid). They admitted Gama in hospital, they saw his documents, and he was on infortunio. His paper work was excellent, he was very happy that now they will cut his finger and he will be eligible for pension.
Doctors took his x-ray, and scanned it as well and they saw that poison has penetrated in his whole arm and if we won't cut his arm, he will die. As Gama heard this, tears started coming out from Gama's I mean from Chaudary Ghulam Rasul Shah's eyes continuously.
