from previous

..... there rose a mournful uproar in babu mian  s house,  mother fell nearly dead, neighbors gathered,  women  tried to help  shajayat  s mother   and sprayed water on her face,  men  surrounded the grief stricken father,  two elderly men  held johar and  gave him instructions what he was to do next,  he had to be strong  and support his old parents and    endure  his brother's   death,  life goes on with or without endurance 
Shajayat  was  buried,  his funeral over johar began thinking what job should he take up,, luckily   he was given his brother's  job and he joined as a police constable 
The first time he saw himself in the mirror  in uniform he spoke to his reflection    to promise to keep  his  brother's  dignity,  to work honestly  but he found it was next to impossible to stay honest in this job,  on every step he was presented with new challenges,  he was posted to a certain police station where the incharge was a sub inspector who was known  as raja who was  dashing and  infamous for  accepting bribes,  he couldn't get along well with johar because  johar couldn't  catch  prey , there was just one person abbas head constable  who  encouraged  johar and admired him for his  honesty
