....as if lightning fell on the old father 
What are you saying dear girl asked the old man Jamil looking worriedly at farzana 
Father  ,I have left the job,  just now  I gave my resignation and came back home explained farzana 
Jamil khan sat down defeated clutching his head in his hands 
Don't you worry baba  consoled farzana assuring him soon she would get another job 
Jamil khan looked at her  and spoke disappointedly it wasn't possible now to get a better job than fazil trades ,  within three months your salary increased so much and the family  conditions improved,  moreover  for your invalid mother  the problem of buying medicines was  solved 
Am I not  concerned about her,  farzana  held out a shopper towards her baba, ammi s this month's  medicines are here,  farzana was certain to get a job within  one or two months 
But he insisted not every  company was so generous when it came to giving out salaries,  perhaps she won't find a suitable company secretary's job  with decent  money 
Now it's done and  consequences must be taken care of said farzana  irritated 
Jamil khan looked at her  startled she had never before used this tone with him 
She was sorry about her  rudeness,  she walked up to sit down at baba s feet  and spoke in a  heavy deep emotional mood she was  herself worried and  lost her temper, she asked for his forgiveness 
Baba got sentimental  he was helpless and dependent on her  salary
