...shammo khala  let's  become friends  best friends   who share  everything with each other,   she washed the cups and draining the water  looked at shammo khala  who smiled back at her  saying  she had nothing to tell but was ready to hear her stories anytime  and she was like a daughter to her  better than  being a friend 

She spoke well and it was  a pleasure listening to her

But friends can share what  mothers don't share with daughters 

So they were to be friends only,  it was  a chance to let her release  all her pent up  feelings,  shammo khala  looked amazed  as if she was for the first time  given a chance to speak up

During the month of ramzan    al mubarak the kitchen work  load increased  , all  things  were  to be  cooked on time  and  strict punctual  schedule was followed,  shammo began   speaking more and  laughed more often
