....he is taimur my son 
Amma introduced  him to miss zulhama tge first time  amma took him there,  he was  a student of tenth standard  but he hid behind his amma  , he had low self esteem, amma had never allowed him to venture outside his house after his abba  s death  fearing  the bad bad world  could   damage him , naturally she didn't want to lose him,   but staying indoors  didn't help him  to grow  better  , full time  domesticity turned him into a low esteemed  coward,  he couldn't even speak with anyone  properly , he spoke so softly  in nervous tones he could  hardly hear himself,  he became inaudible to others,  mere incomprehensible  mumbles  he would repeat  over and over again,  , he had few friends in school,  at home amma wouldn't let him play with  others,  so he became a nervous wreck 
His maths is very poor   bibi, please teach him  maths  of your standard,  just do something to help him clear his matric 
Amma was  urdu medium  three levels passed  and incapable of teaching him,  he somehow managed to get along  in other subjects but maths was tough 
He will improve Maryam khala but stop calling me bibi
Nodding her head amma  went straight into the room where  mother of the miss was present,  recently she got a stroke  and was not well,  amma  s daily massage  therapy  was proving beneficial,  she had  become stronger to step down from her wheelchair to take a few  steps gingerly
