-he said he wanted to talk to her alone and spend more time with her , at home it was not possible , all they could speak there at home was hello and hi, she moaned it was not right, but whatever he was ticking at the dishes from the menu and handed his order to the waiting waiter and turned to speak to her why she left so early yesterday, he suggested they got married quickly , his mother and sister wanted that too
-the moment she was out of the college gates she happened to see hamza waiting there in the sizzling scorching sun for her, for a magical moment their glances tied up then she lowered her head and walked past , he by then brought his bike near her and she had to stop, this was not right she said, he knew it but could not stop himself from coming , she had to sit on the bike or he threatened to hit the approaching truck
-he became impatient and irritated , nasim sahib who was responsible for his paper work with his signatures should have sent them through fax las week but the papers were still there on his table, he gave him a piece of his mind , all the respect he had for the man was peeled off, though it was not nasim sahib 's mistake , every time he presented the papers for his sign he asked them be removed
-hyder ali and ahmed ali were two brothers, hyder was elder and father to his younger brother. ahmed ali dies and hyder to his best ability helps his family widow and children, hyder"s wife hamida was exactly opposite in nature from his, if he was kind generous and helpful she was absolutely sharp like a knife hurting and insensitive ,
-ranya was waiting for hamza to come and take her to see shamra who had called her , her taya left and she decided to stay inside her room not ready to face her tai, her heart began beating faster , a face was set in her mind and that face was of hamza, she heard her tai calling her hamza was there , as she was leaving tai instructed her in a stony tone never to go again with hamza, for shahir did not like him nor did tai like him and ranya must take care of likes and dislikes of shahir now
-dilnawaz ahmed had agreed to his wife"s suggestions yet he doubted it, he was not clear about it at all, saliqa beghum was decisive and sure her decision was right for it was her son shahir's desire, he tried to argue the same son got ranya engaged to asghar , she also was ready with her explanation that asghar never wanted to get engaged to ranya but for their happiness he had consented
-shahir stood there , he looked at ranya and said why was she doing the work of her bhabhi, agreed she was helpful and liked to work but there was no reason now for her to be so , he had a smile on his face, he asked her to listen to him for he had something to talk about , what about , was it some task, meaningful , he explained his point, was it not right to talk without any task , if she was confused so was he for he had never been before ignored like this, she declared leaving him there and carrying the dry clothes if they had never talked before why should they now
-ranya had just emerged from the kitchen having cooked the lunch when she heard her name being called , she stopped and turned to find bhabhi, who wanted her to get the dry clothes from the terrace , her son ashar was crying and needed her , she was thankful it did not rain last night , after her instructions were given she disappeared

-he asked her if she could reach him quick at the palaza office for he had anderson papers with him that she mist keep safe with her, sam said she was with rupert in the near by shopping center shopping and will be there within five minutes, cardwell said if he was one of her friends she could bring him too, when she reached his office minutes later cardwell was busy looking at the scattered papers on his table, he pushed a bundle towards her , their fingers brushed each others and she felt he had called her on the pretext of those papers but in reality he wanted to see her personally
- what a beautiful and peaceful place this is, sam also agreed as cardwell began singing loudly , his voice echoed and resounded , sam praised him and both then sat down on a rock discussing if others also visiting that spot liked to hear their own singing fill up the air and empty spaces between the hills in echoes

-in his room, in fact in all the four rooms the front and back windows displayed most beautiful landscapes surrounding them, tall evergreen trees on the slopes were embraced by wild blossoming hanging creepers, green hills seemed to be touching the high blue skies, , that was the land of the ashwkand tribe, the tribe had been living there for generations and the beds in the rooms were arranged so they could see all the beauty of the landscape around them to its full glory
-the three of them were walking through the bazar , sabby , him and her father, when her father stopped before a small store, the shopkeeper gave him a great welcome and then affectionately looked at sabby and finally at him , sabby"s father introduced him as his son in law, father dictated a list of things they needed and asked his son in law also to tell them what all he wanted
-she recalled when she was small her father had moved into kafirstan located amidst those hills , for several years she had lived there and the owners of the house were very nice people, they had built wood houses, the roofs of these wood houses were made of iron sheets , in one such house the landlady lived with her family, in the other three multi storeyed wood houses native girls worked as artisans and made beautiful handicrafts
-he agreed , looking a sabby to go with them , he would tell all the job was part time and they were moving out , shifting all their luggage to the village , sabby"s father looked at him admiringly, appreciating his moves, so when were they to shift, he explained in the morning he will give his job a notice and then go to the village and ready the people mean time they could pack up all necessary things
--after a week the detective chacha gave a report and what a report it was , amazing so much that the scotland yard also would be pit to shame,
-sate seventeenth, rashid left home at eleven and kept walking straight till he reached a cigarette shop from where he bought one cigarette and gave the man a hundred riupee note , waiting for the balance which took long time in between rashid threw dirty words at the man who remained silent , it means he was scared of rashid, pocketing the balance he walked up to the park , though it was warm bright sunny he sat down on a bench
-hamid agreed relieved if chacha was of some kind of detective and could help he got ready to pay for his services and handed him two thousand rupees, this was a starter and now the next step was to show rashid"s face to the detective but how , it was decided the detective should wait on the street for rashid who leaves home at eleven
-the matter was rashid had enough money and his source of that money was not clear, hamid was a busy man and had no spare time to monitor rashid, hamid went to work early morning to return home late evening, how could he find out what was happening in rashid"s life, then he remembered his chacha who called himself the world"s best detective
-so his friend hamid once conversationally spoke out his mind fearing his brother rashid might be somehow getting involved in some unlawful criminal activities, he suggested his friend to get to talk with rashid about his strange behaviour , he explained he had spoken to rashid but he was ignoring him and avoiding talking,
-he thinks his chacha is a man of a different kind, if he was to be in scotland yard he certainly could reach the position of the chief of the detectives, just casually mention anyone's name and he will find out that person"s family history and uproot all his geography, once the story teller simply mentioned the name of his closest friend , that close friend was very worried about his brother, because the brother was behaving rather mysteriously, he would return home after mid night and shut himself in the room alone
-khalida nervously said she had never been before to that shah ji s place near the stream, was it possible for hashmat to come along , hashmat rascally agreed to go with her on the condition she will not tell anyone in the village of it, because if she did reveal the fact that she was getting charms made against the junior khan then she herself will be held responsible for the consequences
-hashmat shooing her worries said she was speaking of ghumman who lived near the stream, she doubted if taviz could really intervene and find a solution, of course said hashmat , shah ji was a great taviz maker and all his tavizes were quite affective like magic
-khalida helplessly asked who could she take advise from, who was there, was chachi able to give any solution, of course hashmat replied if only khalida was ready to follow her instructions junior khan will ignore her, eager as she was she asked her to quickly tell her what were her instructions that she could follow so that junior khan would throw her out of his mind and heart and life
-taj muhammed said sharply his wisdom till date never had cheated him, his declaration of his confession were dramatically sensational, it seemed farid must have fallen victim to some crime, quick enough three men were pit on the job of betting pails from the village and draw water from the well, very soon the ditch was emptied and in the end on the floor of the well was seen a dead body
-all the water content mixed into the milk was slowly with every boiling bubble disappearing and when all the water dried up milk was enraged and furiously declared he will kill the fire that finished water that was supporting milk to stay unburnt, milk foamed and trickled out from the edges of the pan onto the burning fire and put it off
-as the milk was speaking to the water impressing his own value the pan was heated and milk began to boil , he screamed and tossed and turned and sighed, water asked what happened to him, milk was scared to be burnt , water cheerfully explained as long as water was mixed with it nothing could burn milk
-the woman poured the water mixed milk on the stove to heat, milk in the pan spoke to the water content that its value was risen die to milk and now equaled theirs, that water should pay their humble respect to higher valued milk for keeping company with them and raising their value equal to them,
-the milk man poured two liters of milk in the container and started off to sell it, on his way he mixed water in the milk can, milk changed the water to milk, reaching a house the milk man sold the milk to them, the woman of the house paid him forty rupees for the four kilo milk mixed with two kilos of water ,
-both arqam and shan met in the c i d office , where shan was to explain why was he showing so much interest in the case, was humanity more important than human limitations , shan accompanied arqam into his chamber where several people were giving their statements, the girl sitting in the front getting her statement recorded was the main reason, shan gestured towards sanbal watching her closely through the one way mirror wall dividing the office
and her
-he said did he not know how urgent it was to find that run away girl, if the boss found out she had escaped and reached the valley and mixed with the foolish natives , what would the natives do when they came to know of what kind of trade they were doing up on the hills , what thrashing will they get makes him shiver with fright,
-for long time after zahir khan left she kept on shedding tears of misfortune, a feeling was born in her soul that merely shedding tears will not help her out in any way, she must gather courage for courage alone can get her out of her problem, she crawled with difficulty up to where sara and bina were tied up , she reaching there tried to un tie their hands with her own tied up hands
-the pearl bangle was crushed down by the s=fast speeding approaching jeep, the lights of the jeep stopped directly before sanbal and must have measured her presence , yet sanbal remained unaware of her surroundings but sanawar was watching her with deep interest specially her statue like figure standing there like a cut out , he also watched that statue that stood with closed eyes before his jeep head lights bathed in full lights , she opened her eyes a little bit rather slowly and then the bright lights again made her to shut her eyes
-mamuna dug her elbow into shumaila sitting next to her, in whose mind the danger bells tyrned to sirens, mamuna declared of course the love letters arrived from next door to arqam as her eyes danced around , rehman ahemed"s forehead showed signs of deep worries , amma ji loud and clear shouted her qyestion in the air which was on everyone"s mind who wrote to who these love letters, rehman explained the answer to her question will be given by her grand son when he returns home
-beghum afat ara asked arqam's father to read all the love letters himself for she was so shocked she almost collapsed into a sofa , her words love letters created a commotion in the room, taimur repeated the word love letters and looked at his mother sitting near by who showed her ignorance and in turn looked at shumaila and mamuna questioningly, the word love letters each one looked surprised and shrugged , finally danger bells echoed in shumaila"s mind and she also repeated the word love letters
-afat ara beghum was taken aback when she was handed some letters to read, she looked at them in surprise, , turning them upside downward backward, then she began reading them, the more she read the more her heart began to sink, rehman ahmed observing her face turning white jumped up to come close to her , snatching the papers from her hand he asked what was written in them
-greetings were being exchanged when the door bell rang,, rehman smiling got up to open the door believing it must be arqam, but he ushered in ishtayaq alam with his wife, beghum afatara brought a plate full of sweets welcoming them to be there on such a right opportune moment, the husband wife said the beghum was right that they were there on the correct time but if they read the letters they will know how important it was all
-so do arqam and sambal love each other,, it was unbelievable and unexpected because arqam was getting engaged that day, what all was happening, if arqam was in love with someone how could he be happily married to some one else, the beghum started her emotional scenes loud and noisily
-the man almost screamed in a hurt tone that farid could never do such a thing like kidnapping for he could never even think of such a crime, every parent thinks their child can never plan a complex type of a crime because every child to his parents is simply an angel, farid worked in a ceramic factory where cups and containers were made , farid was a good artisan
-when the constable left he quickly shut the door of the office and changed his drenched uniform , he always kept a clean dry uniform in his office for such times like monsoons when he needed some clean dry uniform to change , but this was winter and january
-it was a nice clear day one winter january , but still the nights remained cold freezing regularly the blood and bones , the rains also jam life moving freely, that day also it was raining now and then and in between increasing the intensity when he reached the police station, though he had a government quarter attached to the station walking around had soaked him completely
-mr alban was the proprietor and owner of the jewelry store where they had recently added rare jewels and on sharmin the detective's suggestion also got a security alarm fixed directly linked to the police station, because the store had many attractive pieces robbers love to try their dirty hands on at that point the assistant who arranged the window diamonds said he was finished and leaving
- he carefully looked at her face , her expression was dull and put off, his words had most probably hit her, yet she did not react emotionally , she was now able to control herself after his advice, he had said fate could change the life status and position of anyone any moment, ages old friendships could turn to animosity and deadly blood thirsty foes could also turn to soulmates
-lenny was the so called wife of dead shah mir , she was not aware he was dead, she was a plump attractive thirty five year old woman, fair skinned and big fat dark eyes, tall and pretty , her daughter also was quite good to look at, who was not older than a teenager, she was quite thin and smart , what a good looking mother daughter combo they made
-the sound of a car horn was heard at the gate, naiman turned to grant and declared it must be the two women returning home, he observed innumerable creases appeared on his forehead, he was worried they must do something quick or the police will be called and escape will be impossible, naiman suggested the women should be ushered in on gun point and be explained what the situation was, but then both rushed out to hide on the right and left sides of the sliding gates as they closed up
-that tall heavy weight gin man reached them and asked who did they want to meet, his voice and tone was rough and hard, he asked who were they, , thye explained their names were naiman and oberoi grant and they wanted to see mrs shah mir,, the interview was stretching long and naiman got tired and irritable, though they were speaking just in english but the guard was educated and understood all they spoke , they added there was something of most importance that they could disclose just to the lady
-margret shalon sat there in her mourning dress in a sofa , she had taken off her hat and veil , she was in her early thirties and very attractive, quinn found he had seen a glimpse of her before in the agency but she was more attractive than what he remembered of her , without wasting any more time quinn explained he wanted to check the study personally to make a progress in the case
