Abba and amma agreed to send shamla to attend the wedding at sangur, shah faraz sat a while to leave  as the  dusky shadows lengthened to spread out

Next day shamla  s elder brother shahbaz  created a scene  , abba wasn't home,  shahbaz first refused to go to  sangur  , he was  absolutely against shamla going to sangur,  his demeanor was severe  and objected  strongly that shamla  reached the wedding  function ahead  by one day 

Ma protested weakly,  she  raised her voice  gently asking dear son what made him object to it when  Zaino and shah faraz were  close to them,  that was amma  s brother's family,  besides zainu and shamla were soul mates
