....this happened  just before  aslam arrived,  when barkat  bibi came to her room,  she who wasn't  getting out of her room  because she was so scared  seeing her instantly jumped  up  to stand  attention 

Why didn't you  send for me instead of climbing upstairs on your paining knees 

Doesn't matter much,  I had to speak to you urgently,  her face  looked  serious,  she sat down  on the bed  supporting her knees  , sge also sat down  quietly next to her with her eyes lowered 

Amma I am not lying  I tell the truth,  I am   innocent,  she choked on her words , something salty stuck inside her throat 

Whatever you said I have heard it carefully,  you know why,  her tone was questioning,  she  lifted her head to look at bibi 

Because I know you are truthful,  when you went into the room with Ahmed  I went out shopping  necessary  things,  not to disturb Ahmed  I didn't tell you,  today ashraf was home,  he didn't go to work,  I told him and left for the market,  half way  through I realized I had forgotten the money  home,  the purse I carried was empty,  without money  it was useless going any further  so I decided to go back,  one duplicate key to the door is always inside my  purse,  of course you know it but ashraf doesn't
