...after arsalan life  stopped completely,  there were just two members the house,  Ghana and arsalan  s ammi,  as if happiness had turned away from them  in life,  monotonous life , both women  emotionally  shattered,  both   wrapped up in gloomy memories of arsalan   hurt and suffering,  tears had  permanently settled into their eyes, Ghana would look at her mother in law  and feel bad for her,  her only son's unexpected  untimely demise had left both women  broken,  they were   living dead , arsalan  s mother looked at her young  widow of her son her heart  pained , how  happily content was arsalan in his life  with his life companion  , every time she was aboard flight he missed her madly 

Missing Ghana  mother would ask arsalan 

I am getting used to this  ammi 

 He would say embarrassed 

This is love my dear prince 

 She would explain  affectionately 

How could you say that 

I also got used to  this loneliness  with your father,  waiting  tireless endlessly  fir him to return home,  frequently  glancing at the watch,  counting the  minutes  

Papa left  too early 

He left me  absolutely alone  in this world,  I would have quickly joined him but I had to live to raise you  you were  my only  hope of life 

Ghana filled the whole house with her lively presence,  mother  was happy for   them  , the bonding between Ghana and mother wasn't the typical  daughter and mother in law  relationship,  both were respectful  and maintained  a friendly formal relationship  mother always  prayed  when Ghana  left for work,  the three of them  together  were very  sincere to each other
