page 77

... it was drizzling since morning,  unexpected  showers had lifted everyone's mood,   mother and grandma were invited to a Quran recital in the neighborhood,  dadu was busy   , the whole atmosphere was spiritually charged,  dada Jan was  enjoying the company of his visitors in the drawing room discussing  politics,  and tge four of them  had their heads together  scheming something,  zanub git a number  from baba  s mobile  and also returned it , there wasn't any problem apparently,  it was Malika who had to call her,  the new generation smart educated girl  did make the call,  the bell was ringing  but nobody attended it , nobody likes to be kept on waiting,  she attempted  two three times more,  finally  it was picked up 
Aslamalekum  , please what is it  a most  heavy throaty voice  asked 
Walekum sakam , it's Malika speaking m you can  deny our relationship but  I am not at all interested in you  , she spoke her line and breathless shut the phone 
Zanub impressed by her  performance  patted her shoulder 
Very good  you cut off the call , boys are  bad and try taking advantage of girls 
The other three were  quite thrilled by her clever act,  certain  who will now want to get married to such a rude girl,  who has no  dignity  and  has no respect for others  and is so unabashed,  who has no shame,  so confident  and dared refuse ,  Malika felt  a satisfied  sense of relief
