from previous-
-both of them left and ustad sat down very close to faridi on the sofa in a very friendly informal manner,, as if they were old friends lost each other "s contact and found each other recently , faridi"s mind was quite confused, he was abducted at gun point and just to show how friendly they were, they were not good guys ,, the man playing the host was overly curious to know all about his past life from the beginning , about his dead father, his business, his days spent in jail

-soon after at night when faridi was about to shut his shop a strange customer appeared , his attitude and appearance was very odd and he demanded to see saraj who was selling semolina , this was getting confusing thought faridi why should people looking like skeletons come to his fruit shop and want to buy semolina saying it was available with saraj and faridi also must be accommodating, saraj had shifted to lakshmi chowk but faridi "s shop was there only and they were ready to pay, he felt odd , just out of jail and in his fruit shop customers not interested in fruits he sold but semolina
from previous-
-- on the third day faridi was surprised to see one of the poor customers who did not apparently have enough to pay to buy fruit from him fing a note at him, big denomination of one hundred asking to give him some semolina , faridi struck an argument , it was a fruit shop and semolina could be got from another store, but the man was aggressively persuasive, he had been buying semolina from saraj for past one year and there should not be any problem with faridi also selling him that, the poor man was hungry and had not consumed his dose for long, he was almost pleading and growling at the same time
from previous-
-faridi noticed something strange in his first two three days of moving into the fruit shop, several customers arrived looking hopeless and their demeanour also so pathetic they looked around and then at him and would say nothing and leave without buying any fruit, they looked poor and unable to pay even for the cheapest of the seasonally available fruit found locally in abundance
page 24-
-faridi really had enough money to open his own shop , as promised saraj within a week left the rented shop and faridi became the fruit shop owner, he deposited the amount saved by sakina beghum in rkhshand"s account, a few days were spent cleaning up and repainting the walls of the shop and then he began sitting in the shop himself

-come on khushnasib take the chocolates , it is not a treasure box that you stand there hesitating, , he smiled and said if she liked him so much she could say it to him directly instead of getting charms and spells, she was shocked she was not that type of a person who would go after spells and charms to get her dreams fulfilled, sayam was a liar , she kept on speaking incoherently unable to prove her self right as she walked out of the room
from previous-
-nobody yet born in the wold to make her cry but she knew and understood how others were made to cry , her self confidence was remarkable and he gave a short laugh, he liked her confidence , then he quickly pulled out something from the inside of his jacket, extending it towards her, it was a box of strawberry chocolates for her from him , he liked the m and got them for her
from previous-
-by the way what just happened in the kitchen is really wrong, aunty should not have done this ,, but khushnasib asked him not to feel sorry for her or defend aunty , she ought to rectify her ways , to save his energy and not waste it over trivial matters, her tone was rather dry and rude, why was she annoyed with him, she was not annoyed with anyone, then had she been crying, she boldly and fearlessly said nobody was yet born to make her cry,
page 295-
-the weather was changing, dry winds were blowing the tree leaves to fall, all the mango trees began shedding their leaves, she would sweep the yard clean and some time later again more fallen leaves piled around or scattered,
--khushnasib sat there after the storm in the kitchen , she felt someone standing behind her , someone coughed lightly to draw her attention, without turning her neck she just lifted her chin at an angle, it was mir shah who came to stand in front of her with his hands in his trousers pockets asking apologetically if the hot kahva that fell on her feet was still troubling

from previous-

page 23-
-sakina brought faridi home, , faridi stopped just for a second before crossing his own house, seeing the name plate of salamatallah his blood began boiling, the scene of his parents being killed mercilessly before his eyes that stormy night flashed past , he kept staring at the name plate and then stepped forward to enter the house, rakhshanda and sakina watching his face were terrified with every expression passing there, they both caught him from either side and almost pulling and dragging him away from the house wrestled with him

from previous-
-shahid mirza declared life was fun if one knew how to spend other"s money on themselves, it was a skill to understand others pockets and ability developed to extract their money and empty their pockets on oneself , but how asked mushtaq one day ,ones parents die one day and can not feed them always so how could he learn the art of extracting money from others, mirza explained it was simple art of receiving commission -easy money , not much was required to do

-in such circumstances remembered khushnasib to remain home and help roshan beghum instead of provoking and instigating others , so she reached her and asked her to stay in bed and she would follow the routine , if something did not tsdte the same it will not kill anyone , her attitude was still so aggressive that roshan beghum had to remark that khushnasib did not understand what it took to do for others and sure khushnasib also was not interested in pleasing others , she was doing it for a different reason, roshan beghum explained the house was full of guests and rishan beghum did it all for a purpose but khushnasib lacked that sense of purpose and if something did not go right and the unpleasantness was felt from her side the guests would for the res of their lives blame them for not being hospitable enough

-omrana was brought home, from the hospital, discharged but the house was drowned in a silent sorrowful mood, she also came home after two days , perhaps it was the use of drugs or the over use of medication but when any family member is ill all others also get affected somehow, she would scream or behave unnaturally different, she was given calmpose or it was feared she might sink in deep depression,, she was not speaking to anyone , if one is accustomed to a long time routine in a particular house they get all the schedule learnt by heart, without them it is not possible to see the same place as the same as before
