from previous

....it was  an unknown  hour of the night,  there was a knock  on the door,  Mrs jafry was a light sleeper  , her eyes flew open instantly,  She glanced at the wall clock,  it was turning one past midnight,  who could that be this hour,  perhaps Tahir sahib had brought police,  flustered she got out of bed,  both Rawat and Ada were fast asleep  in their beds by her bedside,  fuda was inside  the other room,  the door was once again knocking,  putting on her slippers she reached the door,  once again the door was knocked,  she  worriedly asked who was there 
A male voice was heard  saying he was jalaluldin , a friend of jafry sahib,  I have something the matter to discuss with you,  open the door 
She was doubtful  whether to open the door or not,  anything could happen  at this unexpected time  specially in a house where the number of women were more 
The male stranger's voice rose  he had some years ago taken loan from jafry sahib and he wanted to return it , next morning he had his flight to Canada  therefore he arrived this unusual hour 
As far as she remembered  the factory was  in loss , jafry sahib practically couldn't have given any loan to anyone
