Ibrahim was merely a inmate of the palace where the khalifas lived, he became very close friend of hadi, so close that their friendship was envied , their closeness , understanding and their mutual trust was considered ideal yet unworthy, Ibrahim advised the man to take care of his own future and not call out to his master to shut his mouth , though fear of mehdi was great and it was the fear of death for disobedience
--hadi:s upper lip was naturally smaller and his teeth were bared , so his father mehdi appointed a special attendant to always be with hadi and indtruct him to shut his mouth when his teeth were visible, soon hadi became known as hadi atbaq that meant closelipped hadi, that irritated him , arifa was one of the maids who had access to women's and ladies private chambers who believed hadi was in love with her , but he was not, arifa explained she could help him find out all about the conspiracies going on against him in there
--both hadi and harun grew up together and were same age group , one and half year between them was not much of a age difference, hadi was the fourth and harun fifth khalifa of abbasis, hado was strict and did not support his mother and women entering man"s world but harun was a meek obedient favoured by khezran , she tried to influence mehdi to decide in favour of harun to be the khalifa bit hadi was the eldest and lawfully and rightfully the khalifa ,
-abu jafer Mansur abbasi when passed away his son mehdi became the new khalifa, he inherited full treasures and never had to worry about raising funds , he bought a woman slave khezran for her beauty and brains , she was skilled and educated in many arts and sciences, she bore him hadi and harun, mehdi freed her married her to make her his legal wife, she was shrewd and intelligent , her advise and understanding of state affairs and business sense slowly without anyone knowing allowed her to become a very important member of mehdi"s decision making core
--zehra bano spoke personally to kambil dada , to send someone who did not belong to the new pind but had the knack of mixing with the locals and natives , to gather information she wanted , not following her point he looked blank , but it was she who knew what she wanted to find out, she wanted to know everyday happenings, what all politics was going on there, above all where abouts of anik khan
--
zehra bano from the next day took the charge of the entire system , taking control of all the matters, she was the legal heir and owner of the mills, she could legally sell off or run the mills, she was all in all, but she had never done this before because ulfat khan was her father and he had been taking care of them all, but now the situation had changed completely,
--zehra bano was at the steering wheel, the car was going ahead on that bumpy road, bouncing and jumping, the dusky scene around was visible from the window, silence prevailed in the landscapes she drove through but her mind was hyper , disturbed , she could not get over the idea regarding anik shah, where was he, how could he leave her for his clan after all she also had cut off all her emotional ties with her relatives, what made him not d the same for her, was he not wrong, who was more wrong , then debating with her inner self she found excuses like lovers do for each other in love to justify their faults , she felt he did the right thing
--not aware of the time , how much she had spent and what exactly it was then she woke up to the smells of burning , smoke and dampness, she tried to focus around her , looking straight at the straw ceiling with vacant eyes, slowly and gradually she recalled the events before getting there, she was placed in a coir knitted native style bed, yes, there was a fire, flames swallowing everything , she had wanted to jump in to save him, but then she was tightly clutched by two strong arms holding her from being burnt to her death, now she was awake

that morning when the sun rose from behind the mountains, rays slipping from sky touching chimneys into the pond began dancing delicately, some sun rays jumped into the glass window in the room where wasim was still sleeping tired from the previous late night, the sun rays sang a serenade caressing his face, first he was so sound asleep he did not feel their softness then their warmth insisted he woke up, he opened his eyes to see a bright sunny day invited him welcoming to draw the curtains aside
--ashi knew her sister so well, no woman can tolerate another woman in her husband"s life, when Maryam declared she had decided never to return to humayun it was already clear, but then looking at her two daughters sleeping like blossoms innocently she kissed their faces and continued , her college friend najya of ashi remembered always remained frightened and insecure because her mother also had chosen to at this point in their life to separate , life is cruel and the world unkind to women, humayun had lost his credibility but he rang up last night feeling sorry for his wrong behavior , missing his daughters, though he proved a cheat as a man he was a wonderful father, for the sake of the girls she was going back, ashi looked at her , there was not Maryam, but a doting mother of two growing up daughters
--humayun argued with Maryam explaining his point of view that he had learnt from Sonia , wife must be non argumentative, patient and tolerant, Maryam was his wife but he was getting second wife, whether she agreed or not he wanted to remarry, she thought he had no reason to remarry , it was just a lame excuse, he was adamant that he wanted another woman, trying to justify his second marriage
--unbelievable, impossible, extraordinary, she breathlessly staring at the other girl three years younger thought, in her ashi"s eyes something appeared unwritten but readable that was interpreted by Maryam whose eyes were getting filled with tears as ashi's voice , sometimes decisions are taken not by people but by their destiny , but who was Maryam whose so familiar face suddenly seemed stranger"s distant and unknown to ashi, Maryam was her younger sister , made of fire, full of life and energy but what was she saying, her smile felt so unreal,

-
-flights of fluttering butterflies so irritate the children
-catching them they pluck off it bit by bit
--zehra bano then spoke to baba jani she could no more stay there, her mother sitara beghum was dead , most probably murdered, ulfat khan had gifted her many precious things she could keep with her as their rightful owner, they now belonged to her , it was her property , but he did not believe that sitara beghum whom he loved so much was murdered , arguing with him she commented why would he believe it when his own family was involved and under doubt
--a gang of robbers were leaving the house clean at night when the owner woke up, he saw the rooms were absolutely empty , he stopped the robbers calling them out to at least leave behind the hard board he used to offer his namaz, still carrying the board the robber turned sarcastically saying what did he think that they did not need one for prayers
--the publisher refused to print the writer"s book, because he did not like the descriptions of colours which he took as a sign of political disturbance , in the first chapter the old man turned pale with fright, the hero turned white with anger, the heroine turned red with emotion, the villain turned green with envy , mentioning skin colours creates racism
--the next morning screaming and shouting in the haveli attracted all, sitara beghum was dead, she had so religiously nursed her husband back to life to the hatred and envy of the first wife, who was present at the mourning scene hugging tightly the dead body and flowing down her face were big crocodile tears, ulfat khan was fully recovered and regained his strength but the one he adored , whom he believed was his life , that woman was dead, native women gathered shaking up now and then zehra bano who finally came out from her sunned senses numbed from the news and lay down by her dead mother crying shedding real tears
--zehra bano drove home accompanied with anik shah who she felt admired her , she asked him why he had saved her , he could have let her die, he staked his own life dragging her out of that danger zone, he was also under direct threat, when he did not answer she knew the answer,
-she stopped at the haveli and asked him to meet her mother, he was waiting with other staff when sitara beghum came in with zehra bano , showing gratefulness and appreciating his skills , if they thought he was merely a servant they would never have treated him this way, he was nice , gentle and dignified , her small speech did not fail to impress both anik shah and zehra bano, he after that addressed her as mother and zehra bano liked his calling her mother mother
--mumtaz khan remarked in the days of his youth their baba jani turned mad, the tatement provoked zehra bano who explained it logically that baba jani was a wonderful man , her mother sitara beghum was the woman who changed his life for better and she was proud to be their daughter but mumtaz khan's mother the first wife mehrunissa was a good woman , she transferred her own poison in his veins that he became such a venom spitter, living there so long together baba jani had found in sitara beghum his true soul mate
--on reaching the spot zehra bano looked around the solvent plant , vacant distant emptiness was hanging heavy , she recalled her nostalgic past , everytime she visited there it used to be a noisy thriving plant full of workers and the rising smoke from its chimneys promised progress and secure future, life igniting life the plant was a sign of hope and prosperity, her eyes filled with tears which were seen by anik shah who a polite dignified man pointed out encouraging her to be brave and face the reality as it comes
--sofia came back from her college , in the hall room was sleeping bua, who enquired of she was fine and back, greeting her elder she stopped in her way, requesting her to sleep in the room more comfortably, but as it is all aged like eating and sleeping where ever they get a chance to relax ,
--shaukat beghum was sitting with her diary open before her in bed when anwar sahib stepped into the room, he asked what was she doing, nothing special as she shut her diary, tanvir had not returned from his new job , where his time and energy was needed, he took off his shoes bending down , his voce showed pride and satisfaction for his son
--it was another family gathering day , all were together, their meals were cooking together, they were eating together, for asma"s children ice cream was served, tanvir joined in the discussion and all the women turned to look at him showing interest in his marriage
--her sister in law had arrived from Singapore, they decided to invite her for a family feast and gathering , if they ordered food from some good restaurant it would cost them at least ten thousand , so shaukat beghum suggested they cooked at home for all of them , native dishes in modern style
-shaukat beghum entered the kitchen and asked bua if the salad was ready, what about green chilly dried pomegranate seed chutney that was liked , that too was done said bua cleaning the shelf clean, suggesting she could check the fridge to see and satisfy her doubts, all the girls grew up under her protective wing so she knew them all, inside out, their tastes and what they liked and disliked, they smiled happily
patience is a virtue that teaches one to be hopeful and wait for the results to happen , if one sees water setting in a strainer it can also happen if the thinker waits patiently for it to happen
--erring is human but shifting all the blame on others to escape from the guilt is also common
--man influences every one he comes across, his presence and silence both affect and leave his attitude to influence others, love , hate and fear are the basic main shades of personality one gets to seem , his warmth, coldness and antipathy

--teenagers are a complex breed, not yet fully adult nor small like children, their biological changes in body and mind make them vulnerable because they want admiration, appreciation and desire to be liked by anyone who they think can understand them and their feelings , but psychologists explain families with solid close emotional ties nurture their members minds so charged with values that teenagers never even think of rebelling
--she was absolutely courteous, patience with strength is all powerful without any match, unsurpassed, silence produced from this is the answer that beats every opponent , majda was helpless , her nature was getting more and more deep rooted with age, her habits growing stronger and stronger unshakeable , unchangeable, so she kept her mouth shut , patience and silence can stop may problems,
--amjad began to change, his mood was improving, he became more cheerful, arij also turned so trusting, her face expressed full confidence and satisfaction, life was improving, conditions were improving but some hurt at night made the pillows wet with tears, seasons had changed and with it the life itself
--inflation sky rocketing sends a wave of shock in buyers when they put their hands on any vegetable , fruit or edible thing, as if the produce sends them messages of threat , once the vegetables are bought , one feels it is quite a boring thing to cook , eating outside is very expensive , at home the same routine dulls the senses, adding spices raises blood pressure, ailments related to digestion and acidity, without spices one can hardly swallow the home cooked food, without food no life ,
--old age is a stage where one finds himself dependent on others , sometimes at the mercy of others, if children are blessing for them they prove helpful at this point in life , giving them mental moral emotional and physical support, but it is not easy to look after old invalid parents because first of all the children may not be trained for it, or they might not be willing but the third point is parents are revered and kept s high in the minds of children that parents can not change their own attitudes and make it impossible by not agreeing , surrendering and going easy , it is also for them to understand their own condition and let them be taken care of , impatience shown on either side prevents their well being in general
--she began crying before appi, why was society made thus , sisters and related women relatives of divorcee women were treated like blemishes , they too were punished for being associated to such scars of society, no matter what the real reason behind their unhappy break up was, innocent girls also had to go through mental tortures of unkind harsh words flung on them that they had to tolerate silently rightfully or wrongly

--then looking pointedly towards zehra bano"s injured shoulder he enquired if she was healed, she was improving , her presence in pindi was missed , where she had spent her entire life growing up, there was something so special about her, when she visited the city house her failing father and aging mother sitara beghum also waited for her to see them, how well she maintained her relationships ,bad news for her was that all the gangsters were released, including chhamiya whose fear had made the manager flee ,
--the detective said they must pick up the threads of the investigation from the first point, fingerprints of the murderer were the first thing that would lead to the solving of the case, Brenda recalled when she was going towards the crime scene her flat tyre posed a problem , the mayor gave her a lift, she had not given him instructions to where she needed to go , he had dropped her on the right spot without her telling him
--wealth demands its earner every other thing be forgotten
-
-rime demands full attention and all the rest be forgotten
-
-future beckons hope and demands all the rest be forgotten
-
-almighty says just remember me and he shall give us all that we wish for
--Brenda was a detective on duty , her flat tyre in the middle of nowhere posed difficulties , she had to reach the crime scene where the murder of an elderly man had to be solved by her , kicking the tyre of her patrol car she stood helplessly as the passing mayor gave her a lift dropping her at the motel where already many police vans were present surrounding the area
--rehmani said they could get invisible and then approach her but still it would harm her because the condition set for her was that any male eye that saw her would bring harm on her , what was the surmise of the mother daughter duo if not that the niger would one day come back to stand before them
--rehmani asked if she lived an independent life enjoying leading a life of freedom out of the palace, it was a world of men when men were powerful, who knew how the world must be run, did she wear a veil to cover her face or burka the full body cloak to hide her, neither , she wore lovely dresses of her choice that she fancied, halala mixed with them all with whom she wanted to and was never discovered that she was not an ordinary woman like them but the princess simply because she wore a mask of other faces on hers, completely hiding her identity
--one lover asked pleasantly surprised if his beloved will certainly marry him knowing fully well he was already our times married, the beloved replied of course she will marry him because she was tired of her sixth husband
--both leaving the room stopped a minute to check the young girl drinking tea, the chair next to hers was vacant, where could the man have gone, the door opened by itself when they reached it, magic was working, they were impressed, another door to the bedroom where they wished to rest also opened ajar welcoming them in, so they were being watched, or how and why should doors open on their reaching them
--enemy was actively aggressive without being seen his presence was felt , his ominous moves to kill, abusive without a uttering a word, hitting without even touching what a strange situation it was, mazan and azan decided to wait feeling low and helpless but not weak, remarking that his wife must be very happy to have him there sitting by their young daughter, unabashedly , just wait and watch because their magic charms will break and turn absolutely useless
--taimur and shami were present there at the gate, they had gathered them all to let faulad khan know that a couple of days before afsar khan alias kader khan was arrested during a police raid zwar beghum and gulanar were also partners in crime and accomplices
--Ibrahim was merely a inmate of the palace where the khalifas lived, he became very close friend of hadi, so close that their friendship was envied , their closeness , understanding and their mutual trust was considered ideal yet unworthy, Ibrahim advised the man to take care of his own future and not call out to his master to shut his mouth , though fear of mehdi was great and it was the fear of death for disobedience
zehra bano from the next day took the charge of the entire system , taking control of all the matters, she was the legal heir and owner of the mills, she could legally sell off or run the mills, she was all in all, but she had never done this before because ulfat khan was her father and he had been taking care of them all, but now the situation had changed completely,
