CHAPTER#3:
Safa Ali Hassan
(sitting in the balcony)
Asfand Bin Umair/ Fl Uncle.
Can't sleep?
The wave of sadness spread over the whole town. It was not only his uncle was sad. It was the whole town.
The town was small, but the hearts of people here were bigger than the whole Arab land.
Safa Ali Hassan
(quiet and hugging her knees)
Safa Ali Hassan
Why is the world only unfair to poor people.
Safa Ali Hassan
Zubaida died because she was poor as compared to the general wife.
Safa Ali Hassan
But do you know what was common between them.
Asfand Bin Umair/ Fl Uncle.
(sat beside her)
Safa Ali Hassan
They both were women and they both were giving birth.
Safa Ali Hassan
The general could have gotten any midwife because he could afford it.
Safa Ali Hassan
But why only our...
Safa Ali Hassan
Why do we have to suffer???
Asfand Bin Umair/ Fl Uncle.
This world is not round my niece. It's a pyramid. The one above you has every right to take what's yours.
Safa Ali Hassan
But God sent us to make this world fair.
Safa Ali Hassan
You know things could be different.
Safa Ali Hassan
If out of those 17 male advisor one would be a woman.
Safa Ali Hassan
Why are no women in position to express their opinion in palace?
Safa Ali Hassan
If there was one woman, her heart would have ached, and she would have tried to resolve the situation.
She would have at least tried that no other woman would die during childbirth.
Safa Ali Hassan
She would have called the general and told him...
Safa Ali Hassan
I have decided this.
Safa Ali Hassan
I will give the castle staff test.
Asfand Bin Umair/ Fl Uncle.
What?!
Asfand Bin Umair/ Fl Uncle.
(shocked)
Asfand Bin Umair/ Fl Uncle.
That test will be held within a week. Can you prepare it??
Safa Ali Hassan
Yes! Uncle Akhtar says nothing is impossible for a human brain.
Safa Ali Hassan
I am going to prepare for now.
Asfand Bin Umair/ Fl Uncle.
Alright! (sighs)
But don't get sad If you don't pass. You had less time.
Safa Ali Hassan
I know I will pass and that was a real dumb excuse!
Safa was putting the book back in the shelf.
Akhtar Bin Jamal
Didn't like the book?
Safa Ali Hassan
No I loved it. But This is not the right time for me to read it.
Akhtar Bin Jamal
What do you mean?
Safa Ali Hassan
I am giving the Castle staff exam.
Safa Ali Hassan
I have to prepare for it.
Akhtar Bin Jamal
So you are going to the castle.
After the death of his wife and daughter Safa was the only one he had.
She was like a neice to her.
She has been visiting her since she was two.
Akhtar Bin Jamal
May God make you way easier.
