...Sabina vaji, hope all is fine,  why was I called,  stepping into the room  she had asked  the junior chaudhrain, hamad was  also there,  with his oil massaged head sticky  oily resting in chaudhrain s lap, apparently he had  come for a head rub and chose to relax  with oil smeared head,  he opened his eyes to look at shanza, he  shut his eyes with a smile  that was quickly noticed by shanza,  

Chaudhrain said all was fine,  she invited her to sit down  near her,  hesitating  she sat down in one corner of the bed

Hamad wants to drive you to the town tomorrow morning 

Tomorrow...but why 

He says for shopping,  also  to sea new  house of your choice he would buy 

But what s wrong in this house , she was aware of unusual happenings  taking place in cities 

Chaudhrain also agreed,  she had already tried to talk to him but he was  adamant,  you  convince him  so he changes his mind,  all  my life is spent here in the haveli,  how will I adjust in a new environment  in old age,  , I have no association,  no memories  in the city, how would I live there,  I detest city life  but  he has declared he will  take  both shanza and chaudhrain to live in the city mansion with him
