from previous

....nazish was stunned to see a stranger sitting  in her house watching television  comfortably,  could that be the serial killer,  her feet became heavy  and unable to lift,  her mind  filled with  danger  signals,  her fertile imagination  was killing her, , she frozen on the last step of the staircase,  a chilling  shiver ran down her  spine,  her eardrum  was beating loudly,  before  a scream could escape her lips the man turned to look towards her saying it was her Mrs Azar if he wasn't mistaken he looked questioningly at nazish 
What matters who am I to you , suddenly she found herself     gaining strength of courage  , who was he, her voice  firm, what was he doing in her house 
He was  a man in mid forties,  dusky complexioned,  rather tallish,  an old cut  scar on his chin , clad in brown trousers,  blue  shirt and a jacket he looked  well  built 
He said he was  waris mir, he politely stood up, , he introduced himself was a well wished of her husband Azar, wasn't she nazish 
Waris mir s cultured  tone , nice countenance and  polite demeanor impressed her and she  was forced to  lower her guard and said  gently he was right she was  nazish,  in fact she was apologetic for her behavior because she had never seen him before,  it was  puzzling her how exactly did he manage to enter her house when she had herself  locked the main  gate 
He explained  he had come to see Azar on a most serious matter  he had  pressed the door bell  when the power cut started,  disappointed he thought of knocking  at the door,  because he had to see Azar or he would have lost a huge business  deal  so he  banged  the gate and  it was then that he  felt  an odd feeling 
What feeling  asked nazish  in a flow
He gestured towards a sofa before him  and asked her to relax before he  explained everything, 
Nazish who had become  so nervous to see  someone never seen before sitting in her house listening to him speak   changed her mind,  she sat down some distance away from him,  both could watch television set in front of them,  the news Channel was  on and he took no time to switch to a business channel
