-peblo asked her if she trusted him, she completely did, his lips tightened, he spoke on the phone telling taimur he wanted to meet him personally
-saira was not ready to go with the idea , she was sure it will not work, but peblo persuaded her to agree with his idea because they had no other scheme , this was more than one hundred times calculated and then chosen to go with, taimur asked saura if she had any other plausible idea they could go with
-a man was seen going up and down for past many hours on the largest and the biggest and the fastest giant wheel , several groups of tourists and others enjoying the rounds for fun finished and left but this man had turned blue , visibly sick and strained refused stubbornly to get down on his friends requests, finally he was asked why would he not step down when his condition was so bad, he explained the owner of the giant wheel had borrowed four hundred and was not returning his loan for over a year and this was the only way he could reasonably get his balance cleared
-saira was sure it was not taimur who could do it, why would he , he if had direct access he will never have taken such a long time and indirect manner , peblo and she were checked in a rest house as mr and mrs ahmed, he happened to know someone there and no questions were asked, but saira felt nervous and hesitant when they both followed the waiter to their room without any luggage
-he was asked if before joining the bureau he drove daredevil biker show in the death well in some circus, saira had asked him the moment her senses were restored,, in respomse peblo had laughed out heartily, she had seen him in all this time for the first time him laughing so openly and loudly, watching him silently, suddenly his question disrupted her silence, he wanted to meet her x fiance, who was busy in some activity very aggressively, she gave her consent and picking the phone up punched taimur:s number , he handed her his own phone, shutting off the media so she will not be located and her call remain untraceable
-she said she was not talking to her husband but to the man who had insulted a woman, her character, her dignity, her self respect, her loyalty and love doubting her morality he had pointed not only his finger to degrade her but also used dirt language to overpower her, sajad still firmly stood his stand accusing her of enjoying the company of rascally loafers she was meeting behind his back
-sanobar broke into tears, she began to describe what condition she was in, se had left him to escape that terrible life, he was a ruthless man, shreya consoling her tried to silence her, beseeching her to forget her past and start her life a new, parents, friends and society had no right to stop her from leading her life her way in peace, though she herself had rebelled against them all to be with that man
-the bell was pressed, shreya and her husband looked at each other, who could be there at this late hour, the night was chilling cold to the bones, ashar putting on his night robe walked towards the main door, he opened the door to a lady with her attache case
-he asked the lady wearing a veil to cover her face who was she and who did she want, the stranger with her covered face explained she was sanobar a friend of shreya come to see her, hearing the voices shreya also reached them wearing a warm shawl around her
-she was standing at the bus stop for the past one hour, as the night was slowly moving towards its destination, though in that pitch dark her form was not visible to anyone yet her mind was filled up with frightening thoughts , she was afraid of the dark , of being alone in the dark , waiting that hour , it was her need , also the need of the hour, finally she happened to spot a taxi, the driver was an elderly man, she repeating a quranic line got into the taxi
-hazrat abu ahadallah bin harish bin sama ansari raziallah is quoted that the rasoolallah once spoke that if he who crosses before a namazi offering his namaz comes to kmow what the depth of his sin is he would never cross while namaz is offered and wait for forty,, at this point the hadish fails to explain for lack of memory if it means forty days, forty months or forty years in count
-sabra had put away all the things in the store room , she took the decision herself , explaining that children loved and missed their granny and kept on going to her room, what if ,,, she did not complete the sentence, he turned ice cold , statue , his mother was dead and gone and still he missed her , loved her, remembered her and on the other hand it was hanya"s mother , he turned stone, how much hanya had cared for his dying mother , not showing disgust serving her day in and day out , ensuring the children were emotionally attached to the old lady and after she was gone they still kept on looking for her ,
-his children surrounded him asking when will their mother return home, he was tired, he had to manage them all, the house and the office , he slowly said she will come back soon, , shani asked but where was grand mom "s things
-he was surprised at this question, all the things were kept in the box in the room
-shani persisted grand mom :s clothes , her chair, her medicines were not there
-strange he thought, he summoned sabra , how dare she move his mother"s things , hanya also was held responsible, each and every thing should be found in its proper place , sabra nervously twisting her fingers explained she was the one and not beghum hanya who removed the things and kept them in the store and forgot to tell him
-baba appealed hanya to be quier, but she kept on crying and sobbing, she had left him, left her home, been loyal to her husband and his mother , she did all she could to make his mother happy but she was not thankful for her efforts which were genuine , instead she called her mother your real mother , the term was hurting her , why and what made her see the difference , baba could not explain it, he had no answer
-she complained why she did not give her a call, did she not know how much worrying it becomes for her when she can not contact her, as she had expected rawa was waiting for her at the door, she explained there was no signal so it was impossible to call, right she also was trying so hard constantly but was unable to get through, she scowled, saira shrugging gave her a long meaningful look and opened the back door of the car, now who is this asked rawa hesitant and rather nervous
-
pouring rain, bodily exhaustion and pain, mental stress , it is not easy to drive with these three factors accompanying you, saira felt the last stretch of five kilometers very long turning to check every now and then but peblo was still not conscious, his wound did not look bad and dangerous then why was he still unconscious-, it was worrying her,
-it was a grand impressive bunglow, crossing the black huge gate to walk over the green lawn to reach the veranda leading to the entrance of a long corridor with many doors visible on one side , each door opened to a large sized hall well furnished and stylish, in one corner of the corridor was situated a decorated study , placed within were heavy and expensive furniture consisting of a center table and a chair on which he was seated
-they were both friends from their first semester, saira always got very top class numbers but he got better than her, he wanted to specialize in criminology abroad and return to serve his national police force , popular with his friends and teachers he was adorable to all his known in his circle
-saira turning slightly to the right pressed the brakes with all her might, the car came to a screeching halt , a jolt so frightening jolted her and the car that seemed to jump off to stop hitting the foot path on the side , the wipers were rythmically moving right and left and she tried to look between them through the spaces out there lay a dead body, staring it long enough she opened the door and got out to check it out in the soaking rain
-both her parents loved the house they had in the city where they had spent more than their half life together making it a home, decorating it, arranging it, getting it as they dreamed of seeing it , they had only two daughters, elder married and sara working , so they chose to settle down in the city house
-saira held the steering wheel very tightly and regretted not bringing her own car , what a vintage vehicle her baba had , reminding him of his young old days , when all used to be right and perfect,, she lifted her hand to touch the presence of pain in her shoulder , a sigh of pain escaped her unintended
-it was raining incessantly, constant wiper actively working also could not clear the vision through the glass of the car, it seemed as if someone was throwing buckets and buckets of water over and over again, on the smooth running road tiny several puddles had emerged,, speeding up was impossible and dangerous
-it was a police station and seeing them both a khaki uniform clad man h=got up from his chair and came closer to greet mrs korum amost bending double with respect, her husband was still not located,he was not sure and she needed an explanation , she was visbly under strain, the name tag on the officer"s chest read samang- so first dragoon speculated it was the local commander who explained a native brought a dead body and only she could identify if it was her husband "s or not
-and what about harry
-she smiled softly, they had met each other in a new york science conference, he was actively doing research on skeletons, his nature is very sweet and he is quite adorable,
-but since when has he gone missing , did he also go to mongolia
-yes , he disappeared in mongolia while climbing mountains and hills and from one of the sites , she was now taking him there , harry had gone there with the daughter of one of his scientist colleagues
-so she married him
-in the beginning all was going on well enough, but very soon he began ordering her about and instructing her to behave like any other common typical housewife, he wanted her to give up her job and stay home, his family also supported his ideas, they did not give her much importance, so she got tired of them all and the whole situation she found her self trapped in, she wanted to get herself out and breathe free and do her job
-with a long sigh she kept her cell phone into her hand bag and began speaking, he was her class fellow in the university, after their graduation was completed their ways separated, he took up PhD as she followed her masters in business management in harvard school of business after which she took up a job with the wall street, she was progressing at a great speed , she had a passion to earn a lot quickly
-she said she had heard of him, he was responsible reliable and worked as body guard and spoke fluent english , he looked strong and asked what was his fees, he quotes and amount and she did not object but he asked for half of it in advance to which she raised her eye brows, they never paid half in advance, he asked who were they-explaining she declared mary corporation korum international , sunk deep into a scandal
--he looked at his watch, his client was twenty minutes late and not come, disappointed he decided to get up and leave when he saw her entering the empty coffee shop, she looked around and seeing him approached him and asked if he was alyoung and spoke any english
-sitting herself on a chair she introduced herself as milli korum, she had no time and in a hurry, a chinese waitress came to take an order , mily sent her away, the waitress making faces and sulking left them alone at the table
-he now lives in bejing and is a private detective, helps find and relocate missing persons, without any proper office because it secires him from the chinese who could find him and pose problems and getting a cut from his profits is unbearable, though this bribe has a different term of tax which he did not have any wish to pay, to get a client he broadcasts orally, mouth publicity is free and attracts no negative attention, spending all his time in coffee shops waiting for his clients
-his father had wanted to name his second son second dragoon, but this dream remained unfulfilled because before this could happen the parents divorced each other, he grew up never considering himself an american,his father was a non commissioned army officer , so he had the opportunity of going around the globe to several countries accompanying him,, but mostly they stayed in korea and hence he could speak both korean and american like the natives fluently flawlessly
-he sat sipping his half cold half like warm coffee in the great wall coffee shop, he was alone , across the road he could see crowds of buyers surrounded the spot where just recently a new arrival was announced from switzerland, , his name is alyoung that means in english first dragoon, a product of an american father and a korean mother, so father gave him an american name but mother insisted he must have a korean name
-emily insisted he looked at her forehead and made some guesses as a face reader, he excused himself , it was not possible, surprised emily asked why not , jumped in the conversation tafni , he did not know of emily"s life so how could he face read , he was not aware of emily"s life but he was a facereader and yet he was not ready to read her forehead, emily was curious, he explained he could not go against the instructions of his master rabbi aizak, she asked if the rabbi had specifically asked him not to read her forehead, no it was not so but he had made him promise him that only one client in one day and not more than one per day
