...the first feast was  given from narya  baji, within  an hour tgey were to leave,  rahman  had selected gers and  mir salik s partywear and  spread them on the beds and she began  drying her hair,  nazya baji came in  and   questioningly  asked if this was what she was wearing today,  she was affirmative  for the blue   plain simple  traditional dress in silk in modern  style  elegantly  edged with golden  multi colored   sides

Immediately after  nazta baji left appeared  naznin baji curious  to find out  what was rahman going to wear  for the feast and began checking the wardrobe  herself  declaring  the one she had selected was not appropriate and pulled out a grey maxi  with heavy embroidery work  that rahman thought was not right for  a community feast,  it wasn't a function after all,  not at all explained  naznin with  a  series of instructions  on how to dress up , what all make up to go with it, what jewelry to put on  telling her the gold she had brought wasn't up to their  high standards  and was  lower  to their expectations  but she could put all the gold she got from the in laws side, naznin left with an air of  attitude 

Rahman clutched her head to sit down in a sofa  then got up  motivated  it was natural  for sisters in law to see their brother's bride look the best  outshine all others 

Mir salik appeared to comment  why was she dressed up like a Christmas tree all shiny , they were attending  just a meal next door not any function in a marriage palace 

She  explained  naznin baji had personally  asked her to wear   her choice of clothes 

She  felt  marya baji was simple   and  polite  and not like  naznin and  nazya ,
