araz arz

...whatever  Era,  whichever  age, man  remains  the same,  his manner  behavior and  nature  is unchanging,  it happened  some sixty years ago  but it feels like it happened just yesterday  and  might be repeated  tomorrow again,  in those days the narrator was posted  in district shekhopora at muridkey where  wholesale grain  market is world famous,  it was then the month of May  with  summer heat on  its full swing,  wheat was  being harvested,  , nature  is surprisingly  perfect in its  superlative natural course,  April  and  may  usually  are hot months  during this period  wheat  ripens golden  naturally,  it was  one such summer morning  when the narrator came to sit down in his room  when  constable hafiz khan  approached to  give him information  of three or four men  waiting to meet him,  to report  about a missing girl,  hawaldar sahib is speaking to them  
Mallika sahib commented  the constable had  informed him  andto send the men in ,  hafiz khan was  the junior most   constable  in the police station  who  obediently  and smartly   agreed , he was just twenty two,  the narrator liked him for his  attentiveness and sincere hardwork and  his habits  certainly would    make him a success,  four people entered the room  within  one minute,  one woman and three men,  firdaus bibi her husband  iftikhar  and their two neighbors  accompanied them  for their  sympathy and support because  firdaus and iftikhar s daughter  fifteen years old zubeda  had  disappeared somewhere,
