......fari asked saifi what was troubling him, everyone  enjoyed  leaves specially staying in bed, he explained ge was a pilot and enjoyed flying,  , it was like breathing,  if he didn't fly for a day or two   he became extremely  restless,, she already was aware of it but once before  something  like this had happened,  he was on duty but  not allowed to fly  then he went to the local flying club and  got his  chance of flying  that was snatched from him on duty 

from previous....

.....he called her fari, and she called him saifi, , she was happy  he was given time to rest,  he needed a good rest, to recover faster,   also because he was under a great mental  shock,  he  argued  it was part of their training  and pilots were mentally  prepared for such  events 

from previous....

.....safyan,s plans were to join hus duties  after  two days  rest,  but he was advised  because he was in a state of shock   he needed  a week  of mental  rest,  and so he was discharged,  
During the night  both went to bed and safyan  spoke to her  about his condition,  in the morning when he was being checked up and made to stand up on his feet he had  felt   pain in his leg,  when he was discharged  there was no pain,  he was feeling fine but one week rest was  too much for him

......safyan laughed out loud saying  she was not  smart enough to bring her clothes,  in the  night  his second dressing  was done,   meantime he was calling  all his friends list  one by one, but he explained why he didn't phone her, it was the wing commander who visited him just before she did and also  brought him his mobile phone,   he was planning to call her when she arrived  herself,  there was no  point  anymore  to phone her,  another cot was arranged in the  room but she couldn't sleep a wink whole night  speculating  what all terrible  things could have happened

....no, afroz denied,  sge did not  contact  anyone,   because when she married  safyan  her family was against it,  her uncle had   even  declared  getting married to a pilot  meant becoming a widow anytime, though nabel knew all the  back story  he thought now all was fine , she agreed all was going on well but she can never get over the idea of becoming a widow so she kept the information to herself  

from previous...

.....afroz asked nabel what happened,  what did the  commander  tell him, why was he stattled, it was a question   she asked him when he was  putting  his  mobile in his pocket,  nabel informed her  her husband was  admitted in her uncle, s hospital  which was the nearest  for the rangers, afroz  knew of the location because  once she had visited it with safyan,  nabel started the engine of the vehicle and asked if they had contacted her, , she had contacted nabel  but did she also contact them

from previous.....

......afroz  screamed  where was her husband 
The wing commander  said first of all safyan tgeir squadron leader was al8ive , afroz collapsed onto the floor  in gratitude  and relief,  tge officer continued  the aircraft was destroyed in the  crash and  the seniors decided not to inform her, because sge was all alone  without her husband and nobody to give her  support 

from previous.....

.....she  began strolling  up and down,   what to do  now next, sge decided to call the airbase but her mobile  was ringing,  the screen highlighted   an unknown number,  , she received the call  blabbering  who could  that be,  in her quivering voice she asked who was there, , a male voice confirmed if she was Mrs safyan,  he introduced himself  as wing commander  rais ahsan

from previous....

.....speaking passionately with the portrait of safyan she geld sge placed it aside and punched the mobile numbers  to speak to nabel,  it was a delayed idea,   on the other side the phone was  constantly ringing and there was no response,  , she moaned  , it was a day when nobody was answering  her calls 

page 13....

......she began mumbling  holding  safyan, s portrait  speaking to him coaxing him to tell her if he was alive,  wildly  madly  asking his portrait  he had not broken his promise  , he was still  her companion for lifei   .n love  partners  pledge to be together for life  but man is powerless   before  the matters of life and death,  because  they are beyond  man,s control

.....there was an explosion  down  below,  the fire rose spreading the smoke,  tge entire area was resounding with the nonstop  firing of guns, he aircraft  flew past the rocks,  safya  looking into tge monitor screen saw tge rockets  explode  in that rocky landscape,  , within twenty minutes  another spot was arriving where explosions were to take place 

page 11....

.....aircrafts will attack  one by one,   safyan repeated  the instructions from the wing commander to the pilots,  safyan would have  given the same orders  if the wing commander had not,  the distance between the  narrow hills was so tight that no two aircrafts could have  flown  through them together,

from previous,.....

......the highly educated and the lowly female workers both agree there is social discrimination,  they work even better than their male colleagues  but when the  increase in salary  is given  she is bypassed, the male is promoted  though she  was more deserving,  women are stuck  in their miserable helpless  position 

gender related roles.....

.....in the eastern  side of the globe  the cultures  are equally  similar  to the west  when  it comes to  woman  and her capabilities,  a woman is considered  delicate and  raised as  a disciplined obedient  creature  to f8nd comfortable  jobs in specific areas like cooking,  tailoring,  teaching  and nursing,  

the pomegranate....

......the pomegranate  is healthy  and beneficial for the  internal  health of digestive system  and the liver and kidney functions,  it's a natural cleanser,  Blueberry and  brocli  also are rich in anti oxidants  but the pomegranate  contains  more  and so do it's   products 

shawl styles ...

.....with the changing times the world has changed  in several dimensions,  the old fashioned women used to wear woollen shawls  matching with their  dresses  but these shawls were quite cumbersome  and heavy  while working around  in the house specially in the kitchen  by the fire, modern styles are trendy and present  latest  generation of  these shawls  in modified fashion and it us called   the stole, shorter, compact  lighter 8n weight and  hugging the entire body easy to maneuver
