...he screamed he was scared of lightning 
Abik, don't worry,  lightning communicates with  clouds in the skies
Ammi, what if lightning  fell , 
Abik, always take refuge in almighty  and nothing can harm you 
He mumbled  we ask for protection  pray for safety  except love,  
He got down  carefully  wahid had already  got out and pressing the bell,  he had to stop after several  pressings  on his  sign , he was asking him to be patient and wait a while  and give insiderx some time,  someone was approaching the gate  saying the same thing  to be patient and give them time,  that someone was a woman  and  almost  a girl,  abik stepped forward  to enquire about beghum zeenat, the girl   loudly  declared  turning her head the guests had arrived,  a sixty year old woman  appeared   apparently she was  beghum zeenat, he asked wahid to wait outside and himself went in, , the old woman with her eyes reflecting warm familiarity  asked if he was  Abik
