Part 3

Choudhary Karamat was standing in front of mirror and getting ready for going mardankhana (the place where all the man's assemble), at that moment he heard Gamu reciting kalaam, memories hits him hard, he felt ache in his heart, he hold his chest by the left side and looked up at reflection of himself in the mirror, he looked at his eyes, tears were forming in his eyes, one drop of tear fell from his eyes and roll down his face, he rub his eyes roughly in the intention of not to cry.

After the death of Choudhary Karamat's wife he has changed alot. It's been four months of his wife's death, he was exhausted physically and mentally both, after his wife died he don't even know how to survive without her, he was so upset he don't have any focus on his surroundings, don't he even know what's going on around him. But at that hard period of time he only got relieved by the Gamu's beautiful voice and by the kalaam he recites.
Choudhary Karamat used to listen kalaam day and night by Gamu or whenever he wants.
By listening that kalaam Choudhary Karamat feels very calm, relaxed and aching nerves of brain feels relief.

While standing there in front of mirror he took his turban (pagdi) in his hand, while fixing it on his head he called his servant and said,
"Don't forget to give Gamu his grains and give him buttermilk too"
After listening this, that servant immediately went to the kitchen.
