.....mahpara welcomed  humdani inviting him to step in  , she ushered him to the drawing room  and requested him to  be comfortable in a sofa, the drawing room was decorated tastefully  , he sat down  and she served him a cold drink, he was rather   surprised  but she explained he was a decent man  and deserved a  pleasant hospitality  who else in these times  was so helpful , perhaps mahpara had a natural  habit of  praising  others constantly
