.....what is it
She replied  it was an eid card, she  apologized for not giving it yesterday  , it was  because of the chaos but usually  such festive cards are given  and  the  beautiful tradition is lost  because of digital  messaging  on mobiles,  she enjoyed  exchanging greeting cards  personally,  she  placed the  envelope   by hus pillow 
She wore a loose silk  night gown  yet her figure   looked good
Adil   was quite   bored but still thanked her  for being so thoughtful,  she must   take care of herself  for how long  will she sit there  rubbing his head,  he was down with  a bad flu,  it is quickly  spread
She smiled  strangely before adding  she would be happy to catch  his flu,  with that she  left the room 
Adil was  even more  confused and embarrassed,  he slit opened the envelope to see the eid card, a pleasant evening  with a tall evergreen tree by the  trunk of it sat a girl looking at the  earth touching  boughs and right below  there were printed  a romantic couplet 
Adil took a long sigh and  put away the card  , he wasn't a naive  man, , he was  a man  of the world,   he was  very aware of the  path  Tanana was walking on,  she was approaching  like  an unleashed  uncontrollable  flood  totally unaware Adil actively disliked it
