Both muhabbet  ali and he stood watching uncle Amir bakhsh  disappear on his bike in the distance,  the first thing muhabbet Ali  then did was take him in the cottage and bolt the door after them and ask if he had eaten,  when he shook his head muhabbet ali looked rather confused and said  right now all he had was milk for him but assured him he can eat proper good heavy meal at breakfast next morning,  his  tone was of a man deprived of  regular food 

from previous...

When  finally he emerged it was late night, his uncle started the bike and asked him to sit on the bike, he didn't ask where were they going,  after half hour ride he stopped the bike before a small cottage  where some one was waiting for them,  uncle  Amir bakhsh seemed  not ready to stop a minute  longer and told the man in sindh this was the kid he was speaking about, the man also patted the head  fondly saying what a sweet child he was 

from previous...

He turned to leave quickly  when the woman asked him why he was going away,  he said their food was getting cold and they must eat it hot and perhaps they can find some faults in his absence,  tahid in hindi said how can a handsome man, s food be not equally good, some smiled others laughed at  her comment, he wanted to turn around to thank her but remembered in time not to expose himself,  he was not Suleman  from Pakistan but hadi of Istanbul 

page 237...

This asked him in English if he was not a Pakistani, he had introduced himself in English,  her face was blank , he said he was from Turkey Istanbul and his occupation was traveling round the world and learning  languages,   what all languages  have you learnt asked the woman sitting with tahid, he smiled and explained the food was getting cold they must eat it while it was hot, he withdrew but the woman tried to stop him asking where was he going

...his uncle Amir bakhsh  drawing the window curtains instructed he was leaving  and locking the door from outside,  until his voice was heard not to open the door, his voice sounded emotionally  heavy, he was so scared that he could not ask him  any questions.  After Amir bakhsh  left he kept sitting in his chair  nervously  for long time 

from previous...

...reaching Karachi  his father had found a job,  in a government institute,  his salary was less than the extra he was making under the table,  amma was saving money  and spent very little,  she wanted him to become a doctor,  if she didn't  save now  for later it would not be possible to  fulfill her  dreams  of seeing him become a doctor 

from previous...

... a  doubt cleared to give way to another one,  they could not be  shehanaz, s  relatives who were not at all interested in  her death but were willing takers of her wealth,  after some time he reached a conclusion looking at him self in the mirror,  he was absolutely different from that Suleman who was at large accused of murdering his wife 

page 233...

...he for a moment doubted could  it be  the female sender of the message  was somehow  related to shehanaz in anyway,  the thought suddenly  crossed his mind and as soon  was dumped,  shehnaz was killed more than twenty years ago,  her brothers were also dead for sure, debating with his inner self he thought progeny of the dead relatives  perhaps were not as much willing to  inherit  their business responsibilities

from previous...

...he tried to analyze the message,  the sender was a woman who knew his old name he had discarded  before living in America,  in the new documents he was not a Pakistani but a Turk, the message was in urdu, she knew too much about him, she also was aware of his recent  address in New Jersey  and that  the distance between them  through the drive was exactly one and half hour

...she sat behind him on the bike and shahid started his bike,  they were to now reach the robber master  and narrate  the whole thing,  after some time of driving through  lonely  area  he stopped and asked her to get down,  some technical problem in the bike suddenly had seemed to appear,  when she got down he rode off to explain to her robber father  it's not always honeytraps that are successful but sometimes  dronetraps where men trap women 

from previous...

Suddenly the girl waved her pistol at him, introducing herself as Samri,s daughter and partner  in crime,  everytime  Samir recruited  and inducted someone she was sent after them as honey trap,  Samir was an experienced  robber trainer who knew  young men always fell for women  and both manir and shahid too, though nanir did not know her

page 207...

Shahid  asked the master how was it going to be,  nobody allows  anyone  to rob them easily,  a weapon was needed to threaten them,  the master quickly  agreed, he had obe weapon just now and later he will provide another one,  when the master went in to get the weapon  shahid turned to manir and asked if this was to be  robbers life , manir explained he had to choose between a life of poverty or  a rich comfortable lifestyle

from previous...

....shahid stopped  manir, calling out his  name, both embraced each other tightly like  real brothers  meeting after long time,  shahid then asked manir if it was his own car or he was the driver of the owner of the car, manir explained  in friendly  manner  the car was his and invited shahid to sit with him in the car , he wanted to talk  about it all

from previous...

....one day shahid as his daily  routine was to run around looking for some job saw manir his acquaintance who was coming out from  a posh expensive  store , his appearance  was of a wealthy man, he was going towards a parked car, shahid was amazed , manir was his  neighbor  , not well to do who had moved out of their locality

...the room was in pitch dark,  first he carefully shut the door after him but didn't take another step forward,  to make sure if there was any captive inside who had seen him entering the building,  he stood rooted, some minutes passed away and he was not  stopped ,perhaps the captives were  unconscious or  drugged,  he stretched a hand to turn the light on, he was still fumbling in the dark the wall for the switch when he heard a choked feminine voice

From previous ...

He had done all types of things staying within lawful  limits in Pakistan  to Dubai to Bahrain, now wanting to get a huge jackpot  of life time he got himself trapped in  madam,s network, then to settle down in some  nice  country comfortably but he got entangled unfortunately and was used as a throw away tissue paper after use, he was there because he was looking for his girlfriend and  discovered  what all chaos was being cooling, shean showed his appreciation  explaining  they already knew all about him that he had been to Bahrain,  he thought silently half knowledge was so dangerous,  if shevan only knew whole thing  he would have shot him down dead then and there

From previous..

..nobody can completely learn English by giving up his own cultural background, firaq and more literary laureates  are evidently  polished in both urdu and English,  in other words if one does not study a word of the western language urdu would have been different more backward in thought and less expressive,  western thought modified urdu language 

Page 37..

...so says intezar hasin....
..many people think we can progress only if  we give up our language and learn English, one section believes  there should be no English,  both are wrong because English is modern and universal, but it is not conditional to  ignore other languages to understand English

A week later  abwari was again sitting  in the same police station  , she was a living dead,  her missing mukhtar was still not found, all her prayers turned to moaning and she just hoped some good  news of her son will brighten  up her life, the officer was doing his best but  mukhtar just seemed to have disappeared 

From previous ..

..the investigating officer explained he needed their cooperation to find out more about dr amen, it was impressive that she was a hardworking  woman and did double duty and was thoroughly a professional,  ethical and nothing could be  said  against her , she spent off hours mostly in the lab and dr Shasta was close to her but she must not be  dragged into the matter because women have their own lives too

From previous ..

.. the police station  in charge  asked who was jamila, checking the in box and then the out box all empty, not a single message there, srin stealing her glances explained jamila was her friend,  he officer commented meaningfully she seemed to be a very bold close and frank friend 

From previous ..

.,Anwari sat  in the police station  moaning about her  missing son  from last night, she had taken help of all her knowns and still he was not found, what could have happened to him,  the earth gulped him down or the skies swallowed him  up,  her self control was remarkable  but her eyes were flooded with emotion 

Page 161..

..shafi Muhammad was then asked what time he went to bed, 
..he answered only after one  at mid night because then  there was no more activity,  he placed his bedding bear the main gate and  slept, if he was needed to open the gate for cars he was called or others simply  used the smaller side gate, he never saw any one visit dr amen, nobody ever visited her

..he was certain  in that bad weather a man in his  ordinary  get up like him will not get a lift, the cars would not stop for him,  drivers will hesitate but he can get a lift on trucks  hopefully, he focused his gaze now on the truck following the approaching  car , suddenly the truck gave a direct hit to the car  that rolled down sideways like a crumbling toy

From previous ..

...mukhtar  as his habit was began walking on the footpath,  reaching the bridge he felt the intensity of the wind, he shivered  in his almost wet damp clothes sticking to his body, he was facing all the harshness of ruthless elements moving on just for the sake of his nasrin

From previous ..

..she said the doctor was not home and even if he were she would not have allowed him to leave home  that hour in such rain, her tone was so straightforward and firm  mukhtar could not react to it, he was simple ordinary man who could not catch others lies and got themselves  involved in others matters, he left  grumbling defeated at the doctor's wife's attitude 

From previous ..

...Nasrin was twenty three and screaming holding her tummy  with pain, her pain was killing her , her beauty was marred by  spasms and attractive eyes flooding with sheer  pain, her condition was affecting her ordinary looking husband mukhtar who felt her pain branding his heart heavy

..amen refused to have tea for spoiling her nightly sleep and getting up late next day for clinic, he asked her to check the little one who only got well from her diagnosis and medication,  ever since she had moved into this building she had become free consultant to shafi Muhammed who was clever enough to appreciate free of cost things in his meagre salary

From page 150..

.. torrential  rains , stormy winds , crackling noisy air presented a destructive scene,  straight tall standing trees for ages were helpless before the wrath of   elements,windows  tried in vain to  stop the shrieking winds from entering  the rooms and rattled  noisily in futile attempt

From previous ..

..she stopped her car right outside the cottage, opening the door she stepped in,  she sniffed as her nostrils smelled the air filled with coffee aroma and roast meat and  toasts, brine emerged from the kitchen ,greeting her he invited her to have breakfast 

From previous ..

..near by the gym was a small coffee and pastry shop, ordering a coffee each they sat down  at a window table talking, from their table they could clearly see the plaza parking lot,  Tarrant asked her what was the reason for her to get exercise,  she explained it was her left leg that was just operated  on

Page 143..

..when she returned home the cottage was shrouded in darkness  that meant brown was not home,  she had no cell phone,  computer or any other  way to contact him so the next Moshe visited the town library and searched for what physical exercises were suitable for her  in her condition,  noting down all  relevant information she reached the gym

Mashwara..

..when she visited the retired doctor he said Paula whatever was possible he had already done for her, after that she herself was responsible for her recovery and   must take care , her bullet ridden wounds were healing, her cracked knee was better but she must be regular in her excercises 

From previous ..

..he claimed the doctor who declared your son has ulcers must be a fraud,  the doctor spoke in a prophetic manner,  adding  that the doctor  who said he had kidney problem was  right, in this  case kidney gets so much shrunk to the size of a bean and stops functioning,  its zero function began kidney useless and hopeless 

From previous ..

...he began his narrative he planned to go to France  through an agent,  that agent's  program  was hopping various countries via Pakistan  by road  to reach Turkey, at night the agent would  send them all from a  launch going to Greece in Europe  from where they could easily cross  over to  France but unluckily they all got caught in Turkey  and were sent to prison,  just two days ago he was released to reach Pakistan 

Page 138..

..both sat  facing each other in the doctor's chamber filled with pleasant soft light,, the doctor looked at him with deep meaningful  eyes and said he must be bewildered in this libe for he never saw him before,  he said he just recently opened a new pharmaceutical company  he would like to know more about 

Monday, March 16, 2020

From previous ..

..he sat  comfortably in the soft couch leaning against the back of the couch, thinking what an idea it was to get in through the reception as a medical representative,  nobody  suspected  him,  he must now discuss his son's case  with the  doctor  , if today he had  not posed  medical rep he would not have been able to find another way to see the doctor 

From previous ..

..the woman asked shocked what fees they were asking her for,  she had come yesterday' and deposited the amount and today she was there just to submit the reports, stopping after completing her statement the woman held out the brown and white envelop towards the receptionist who explained the woman was absolutely right but the fact was everytime she  visited the doctor she had to deposit  the fees

From previous ....

..the receptionist asked him his name and began searching her computer,  confused she replied some time later  his name was not there on the appointment list, he meaningfully spoke to her  explaining why his name was not there, it was  because he always reached the spot without taking appointment

..the city mall was situated in the posh area of the town, it was a modern and latest  style, the world within was absolutely different from the outside world, everything man could  ever want was available there, that too branded,besides the food courts and moni cinema,  the special point of the mall was that the fourth floor was completely occupied by the medical doctors

..bricks agreed to his demands and he told there was a bartender Smith who was present the men argued and  fought over a woman if bricks found Smith  and the story was confirmed  that jerry was innocent  bricks will fulfill  his promise, he was a pickpocket and not a liar, he sure had proof of Jerry's innocence,

From previous ..

..bricks asked him to tell him all that he knew about the situation,  jerry case was something bricks was dealing with,  but he refused to give any information  specially that could prove jerry innocent until he was paid for the information,  he negotiated if he was to go through hardships in the jail why should he give bricks any information at all but if he is given relief and comfort and nice place he then can think of  sharing  the secret evidence

From previous ..

He asked bricks if he knew Jerry, bricks was startled and how did he know Jerry, he explained he and Jerry were long time acquaintances,  only yesterday he came to know Jerry was accused of murder of fredrick,  bricks asked what did he know about it, more than anyone else,  because drunk men talk loosely about every thing  in the bars, if one keeps his eyes lowered and ears open he can gather lots of information 

From previous ..

...he added they would easily repeat the process of  presenting the stolen wallet for a reward by the grateful victimv during the day to become rich quick  but bricks shut him up for he still thought it was wrong and a crime, to pose as a Nobel deed doer in the guise of criminal act

Page 131..

..amber asked bricks to wait  minute and think over the point that in  the past ten minutes he had earned a  gold coin without robbing and without picking  pocket of anyone,  inspired by this an idea popped up into his mind that they could as a team work on it, he would pick pockets and bricks would catch him and present him before the owner of the wallet , bricks will get rewards for his honesty and this is not unlawful nor a crime

From previous ..


  • ..it was not possible for anyone to stalk and eavesdrop on the head of the family and other men in the haveli,  especially for meek women like sabobar bibi, there was some invisible power  maneuvering her to follow him, she managed to quickly cross the yard to stick to the drawing room door listening what was happening in side the room

Muhabbet lafz hy lekin..

..that was not the first time that he got out of the room at night, it was normal routine,  yet is seemed not normal,  she silently without  wearing her chappals wrapping a wide shawl around her walked up to the door,, khan sahib had crossed the whole length of the courtyard and at the end of it was situated the drawing room in which he stepped in

But the poor friend was still not happy 

From previous ..

..the man almost wept, swearing on his dead mother he did not know   who was she and where did she go , nobody came, he saw nobody, he was given two minutes to leave and never to show up  again , he quickly dragged the two unconscious men out of sight,  he again checked the whole building , this was the same building where ashini was kept hostage before and he had rescued her

From previous ..

...He asked her bitterly if she was aware he was attacked on , his life was in danger,  chaudhary hashmat could not know his closest friend sent killers to finish his son, she explained her uncle did not know of it and since he was not on good terms with him he will not listen to him at  all nor will he be believed 

From previous ..



  • ..he asked her what happened,  she pointed towards the broken window from where entered two armed men, she woke up with the firing noise, they forced her to accompany them, at that point some one  running outside tried to get in and the two men shot him, she thought it was him shot dead

Page 9o..

..one week had passed, they were still in the same small cottage in bakht nagar,  jawad gave them extra special instruction  not to go out, he also strictly followed his advice but then he had ashini to take care of,  her injuries needed more attention than merely  the first aid 

Thursday, March 12, 2020

From previous ..

..she stopped for a moment,  she was given the job of collecting payments for the drugs,  perhaps he was not aware but it was a fact that the chaudhary was a smuggler,  there was a route nobody knew of that he was using without being stopped  to smuggle,  he was a powerful man 

From previous

...they were native of pakpattan and residents of a small colony,  they were five sisters, no brothers and father a drunkard and mother who doubled working in others houses as a domestic maid , it's most difficult to live in a society where all types of crimes are accepted except
