-shakil  curiously  yet  shrewdly  repeated  his  question how  did  shahzeb know  sajadil  and  since  when  , shahzeb  was  trying  to  evade  and  avoid  this  but  shakil  was  not  letting  him escape  it, how  could  shahzeb  tell him what  he  was  hiding  regarding  tajur  their  common link  and  almgir  and  sajadil were  friends  , but  if  he  did  not  say  a  word  shakil  will  become  even more  suspicious  so  he  began  he  had  coincidently  met  sajadil  in a  tea  shop, there  was  a  letter  written by  almgir  in code  words  only  he  could  decypher  , reading  the  content  of  the  letter  sajadil  turned against  almghir  and  became  shahzeb"s  partner

from previous--

-shakil and  shahzeb  had  learnt  about  the  fate  of  the  man  and  the  event  through the  newspapers, he  could  not  hide  himself, he  will not  get  anything  , no  profit  from this, whatever  he  could  benefit  from them  also  will be  canceled, he  will be  dragged  out  from the  seventh  layer of  the  soil, but  could  it  be  possible  he  was  being  trapped  by  someone  else  who  was  using  his  services  as  a  pawn  asked  shah zeb

-shakil  and  shahzeb  were  talking  that  though  he  did  come  he  came  two  hours  late, all  the  three  entrances  were  guarded  and  locked, one  was  speciallu  opened  for  him and  he  was  allowed  to  enter, he  began  speaking  , beghum was  so  put  off  by  the  behaviour  and  she  had  never  believed  this  could  happen, shahzeb  said  he  had  come  to  know  of  the  matter  from shakil, shakil  blamed  him for  being  with  the  culprit  , now  shahzeb  suddenly  changed  and  asked  if  he  was  to  be  hanged  for  being  with  someone  whose  intentions  he  was  not  aware  of

from previous-

-shahzeb  looked at  his  friend  ibrahim  who  was like  a poisonous  snake  but  innocent  and  helpless , it  was  not  his fault  that  he  was  what  he  had  become  , he  was  raised  on venom  doses  , the  decision  was  not  his  but  his  parents  who  had  chosen  a  life  of  survival  for  him but  unwittingly  turning  their  lives  miserable, no  woman  could  ever  enter  their  lives  without  staking  hers,  lucy  the  female  monkey  was  put  in danger  and she  ran  away  everytime  she  saw  them  , instinctively  knowing  they  were  dangerous  to  her  life  

from previous-

-both  boys  in the  beginning  with  the  prescribed  poison doses  fell ill  but  slowly  and  steadily  their  immunity  got  used  to  it  and  normal  food   given  them  became  indigestible  , their  system  survived  and  thrived  on the  doses, insects  like  mosquitoes  , floes  and  others avoided them , if  there  was  a  bite  the  insect  lost  its  life,water  discharged  from their  waste was  absolutely  of  different  colour  from normal  ,they  even  took great  care  of  not  allowing  anyone  eat  out  of  their  plate because  it  got  contaminated the  moment  they  touched  it,

from previous-

-parents  were  alive  but  more  of  the  living  dead, always   afraid  of  the  prediction, they  searched for   far  and  wide  and  found  the  sage  who  had  done  this  prediction and  asked  him for  his  advise, he  said  in his  spiritual  contemplation   that  what  was  destined  was  destined  and  will happen no  matter  what, one  could  only   try  to  do  or  avoid  his  fate, his  wise  suggestion was  to  prep[are  the  sons  for  the  worse  and  send  them  to  a  budhist  monk  who  knew  about  herbs  as  antidotes for  poison,  soon the  boys  were  given  controlled  doses  of  poison
