...he was amazed to see rani before him , he was thinking  how was it possible when he received a  punch on his  nose  when he was unable to answer her roaring question , he fell back off balance , she leaped forward to  hit him, he  quickly held her by her hand , he was hit from behind on his lower back, he turned to see sherya , both of them pounced on him , his nose was bleeding , he quickly recovered from this sudden attack and  tried to  defend their blows , , a flower vase cracked and shattered on his head , he was blinded  for a while , his head was spinning , he screamed and stretcged his arms for support  but his  hands  clutched enptiness, he fell down on the carpet , he was not completely  unconscious , he could hear the voices , but he could not  stand up with all his  bleak might , he remained there unmoving  still for a while , slowly regaining his  strength , they were worried if the flower vase had hit  him rather badly than  expected , he stayed there with his eyes shut, they thought he was unconscious, his head ached awefully but  his ears were acutely tuned to their vouces , , he suddenly stood up on his feet , all four of them were before him

...come spring  to  make  alive life again

A love story  caressed my lios too

Then came a turning point

Troubles descended straight  over love story

Storms of distrust blew around

Dirt and dust settled on the bright 

gazal

...they will leave  me one time 

It might not be easy to wait for their return

.no need fir any mentor 

.travellers ask directions on the way

They know unworrying  heart

If they leave nothing is gone

Forgetting them is my first priority

If they  ever fill my mind

.tales of love are  interesting indeed

When told  listening is possible

They dont stop anyone  moving

But who cares to visit anyway

Staying away from rotting

Life is enough once lived well enough

..so now what next, what about the  marriage proposal, asked farhana  after  listening  to half an hour of  gossip  about the entire neighbourhood   more worried about her marriageable daughter more concerned about her marriage than listening to idle  worthless gossip

Oh yes, the boy is very nice , only son , saying that much she  stuffed her mouth with the  saltos  as if  pouring water into a wide bucket with a pipe before noisily slurping  and swallowing a long sip of her hot sweet  tea to wash it down 

Yes yes impatiently the lady of the house farhana pushed her to   speak more of the real matter , because  this was basic and already known  that the boy was good, farhana  was getting  excited and impatient

Six sisters  and already married , the youngest in fifth standard in school  others all unmarried  this time the matchmaker stuffed two biscuits at once in her wide mouth followed quickly with a long slurp of tea

Besides they own a house  masgalla by the grace of god he has a job

What is this , is this what you call a marriage proposal

She went to the library and started checkung salman s writing tabke drawers

What kind of mother in law is this 

Is any mother in law  possibly like this

Can any mother in law behave like this 

All tyoes of qyestions rose into her mind and circulated in her mindstream the whole time
