Right, in the village they lived women mostly made carpets , merchants from Lahore dump all the material and it takes minimum one to two years to ready one carpet or even many more years, these handmade carpets were sold on very high rates though the village women got a meager price fir their artistic skills and hardwork , it's a pittance, just for a second the flashing lights in her dark eyes dimmed with sadness, anyway when abba returned to the village from paying the fees appa was sick , it was appa who had pushed him to go pay the fees, Fatima s face brightened with a warm smile as she continued appa s vision was to see Fatima become a doctor, of very delicate and soft nature appa easily fell sick , she was admitted to shallot hospital where she stayed for a couple of days
Madiha asked about her father
He was a primary school teacher, due to kidney problem he took up premature retirement, his pension wasn't enough to pay for her medical degree, all his money was used on amma s medical conditions, thirty eight years ago teachers salaries , pensions and g p funds were not in lakes like today
What happened to your amma, how is she now, madiga for no reason at all had liked Fatima , it was love at first sight and madiha was most sympathetic
Amma died several years ago and appa took over all the financial worries on her delicate shoulders
