from previous-
-sardar beghum looked at shabana with almost burning annoyance , the cat wanted to be with shabana and shabana also wanted to keep her with her, she asked jamal if he had given her a name, bijli she was called because he could think of no other name suited to her, shabana lovingly patted bijli and said she will call her malika , for some reason sardar beghum did not like the cat and had some apprehensions which were laughed off by doctor hashmi and doctor jamal so the cat was malika and companion to shabana
from previous-
-docotr hashmi introduced him as a specialist expert neuro doctor jamal from the valley come to stay as resident doctor and give medical care to shabana, sardar beghum looked at him and so deeply that he felt she could read his thoughts so he tried to shield his mind from her , he stared back into sardar beghum"s eyes to see what was on her mind, it seemed she too was a most experienced woman to be able to hide easily her thoughts and cleverly disguise her feelings, it seemed a battle of wits
page 130-
-he spent an entire day thinking about the facts told him by doctor hashmi, then he asked him to arrange for him to stay in the house of late sardar and he would do his best to help him by analysing each and every character of the story in person, to in detail check out their colour of nature and mood of behaviour patterns, doctor hashmi was happy because it was not so difficult to get him to stay in sardar beghum|s house to treat shabana as a specialist neurologist from neelam vallaey
