Hello Precious Hearts
Hope and pray that all of you are enjoying your glorious weather and blessed lives :)
Here it's been cloudy since more than a week .It rained heavily almost throughout the country.
Though not here in our small city :( but hey i am happy it did not.
It does not makes much difference to me if it did not rain here But if it does dates hanging on trees will be spoiled .
Happiness of so many people depends on dry
weather :)
So my prayers are with them so their hard work can get desired results.
Last day one of my friend called. We were classmates.We chat once in a while but this time it was after many months.
It was pleasure to hear from her. Each time when we call each other it makes me happy more .
Actually she lives in town near our native village .Many of my classmates live there. I ask her about all of them which is wonderful feeling for person like me who is away from her native land and friends :)
We talked more than hour .She told me that like weather people are also changed in so many ways.
According to her rains were less and not as heavy as were in olden times.
She told different things that were mixture of sadness and joy.
One news was devastating . Husband of one of my classmate was sentenced death for being espionage .
He was brigadier in army . He was convicted for leaking some army related secrets to raw.
This traumatic news made me sad. I instantly thought about Nadra who was married to this man. She was one of few richest girls in my class.
I never saw her studying .She was typical rich pampered child .fair skin and bluish eyes.
Very pretty with friendly smile . Best thing about her that i never forgot was her neutral attitude.
When girls would ask mischievously " how was your Sunday"
She would tell honestly everything including "me and daddy danced "
Danced ? all will say at once teasingly and will laugh together loudly .
She would annoy but not for long . I never laughed at her stories because they were not weird or unfamiliar to me.
Through parents ,books ,radio and english t.v shows i knew lot about different ways of life in west.
After marriage Shazi (friend who called) was source to know about other friends or classmates.
I knew that Nadra was happily married to man with high status .
She lived mostly in foreign countries due to her husband's profession.
She had 4 children .Family owned fine houses and hotels in few cities .
Wealth showered at family but through bad sources .
They came under suspicions. Army sent lady spy disguised as maid who confirmed that brigadier was betrayer .
Shazi told me that whole matter is in media and on social media as well. I was horrified to see how bad it was.
This is so painful for a wife and children to face such embarrassment and sham for the crime done by head of their family.
I find it heartbreaking and severe for family. I don't know if Nadra was aware of treachery of her husband but i know she and her kids will have to face all the guilt and hatter coming from society for criminal who unfortunately belonged to this family .
I just hope they could survive through all this.
All i can do is to pray for them.
God Bless You All Friends!!!
I think she was unaware. It seems like something he would not tell her. Why would he?
ReplyDeleteI looked online and found an article about a Brigadier Lt. General sentenced to death. Horrible. I don't know if that's the one you are talking about. I wonder what he did and why.
I have had seen such horrible stuf only on movies Sandi
DeleteFirst time to learn someone closer to my acquaintance
I have not met Basra personally since I left school so can't comment about that if she knew it
His name is Rizwan .You can search by name
Yes, all must be chaos and turmoil now for that family. Sad for the innocents involved.

ReplyDeleteSpecially I feel for kids Debra who were being expelled from academies
I don't think it was their fault
Most probably they left schools to avoid negative behaviour of people
But people around them have built up stories as mostly they do in such cases
It is a shame that the family of someone accused of a crime are considered to also be guilty. It is sad news from your village. At least there was good news about other classmsates.
ReplyDeleteMostly in such cases family suffers a lot Emma
ReplyDeletePeople who treat them inhumanly forget that time can come for them either
It will be difficult for the family for sure.
ReplyDeleteHow very sad indeed, baili. I hope the wife and children have some emotional support at such a hard time. Your reply to Emma is right on - we could all face tragedy of one kind or another and really should try to treat others as we would want to be treated.
ReplyDeletewhen i think about the wife and children it makes my heart so heavy
Deletehope my friend has family support at least
That's kind of shocking to me Baili. Putting someone to death is wrong in my eyes...but that's just my own opinion. I hope his wife and kids will be okay.
ReplyDeletei also did not like this option
Deletehe could have been given the life long prison like other who are involved
A tragedy for everyone involved...
ReplyDeleteindeed my friend!
DeleteI always feel so sorry for those innocents …
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
how selfish of people who not even once think what will happen to their family if all is revealed
DeleteTerrible news about your friend and her husband. It is really terrible that people will take it out on this family. People can be so cruel.
ReplyDeletei wish may God bless family with courage to pass through successfully
DeleteI get together with classmates from my school every couple pf years and the news filters through about others that are not there and some of it is sad some have died, are suffering ill health and in trouble I feel sad for these people as I remember them as young kids free and happy with not a care in the world.
ReplyDeleteMerle..........
time is quick and carefree Merle
Deletewe are sand in the hands of time indeed ,slipping away so quickly
We should never make siblings responsible for the mistakes of their ancestors
ReplyDeletei wish
Deletepeople have time and heart to think about it
Oh Baili! I'm so sorry to hear of the sad news of your classmate's husband's betrayal to his country and the terrible effect it is having on his family too. I'm thankful you are enjoying the summer days, and that you had such a nice visit with your friend, but truly devastating news though! Blessings to you sweet friend :)
ReplyDeleteit is always pleasure to hear from you dear Marilyn :)
DeleteThis is very sad and painful new the wife, children and love ones. Hope they will have the strength to go through this difficult time. And also understanding friends showing love and comfort to them when needed.
ReplyDeleteamen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteSo sorry your school friend has such a difficult time ahead. We can never be responsible for the actions of others, you are a good friend for her.
ReplyDeletethank you dear Betty !
DeleteIt would be unbearable for the family. Poor kids will be spectated scornfully by their study mates. The wife may not be involving in spouse's official matters.
ReplyDeleteOf course it is one of the most hard situation for any family to face such trauma dear Pray
Deletethey have to bear the death of head of their family on one hand and on other hand they will have to deal with all the pain society throw over them ,how grieving

ReplyDeleteOh Baili...how sad that the wife and children have to suffer because of something the husband did. It must have been devastating for them. How fortunate that the lady has good and loyal friends to help and support her through those difficult times. Dearest Baili...please do relay to her my love and very best wishes for the future. I will pray for her and the children...and for her husband too. I guess he must have had his reasons for what he did, even if they were misguided.
ReplyDeleteOh all this is so, so, sad.😢
My dear Friend, please try to stay cheerful...I am thinking of you always, with
All my love and hugs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

ReplyDeletethank you dear Kim for kind visit and words !
Deleteit still is cloudy here ,though partially now
i wish you lots of rain my friend!
That certainly was the harshest sentence for your friend’s husband, Baili. It’s also very sad that she and her family also have to suffer for his transgressions.
ReplyDeleteit is indeed dear Dorothy !
Deletei wish he would have thought that one has to pay for his actions sooner or later it is universal law and we have no exit
It is very heart-breaking, Baili :(
ReplyDeleteI hope Nadra and her kids have the strength in this difficult time.
May Lord bless them with courage and may Lord bless people with insight to stop from nonsense
ReplyDeleteit is saying here
" you can hit a sinner with stone ,but stop and think if you are innocent enough to secure such right "
So sorry to hear this terrible news Baili, life is so unpredictable. Sending prayers for them.
ReplyDeleteOh Baili what horrible news for the wife and kids. I do hope for the kids sake that mom did not know also. You opened my eyes to seeing another side of the world. A side that other then news on TV I don't hear about here in the US. I am sorry for your upsetting news.
ReplyDeleteTragic news is a mild word for it! She and her children had happiness and even luxury, and then? Oh, what will happen next? Will her father and family shelter her? I will pray for them all. I promise.
ReplyDeleteEspionage is a difficult subject. Is the person a betrayer or is the person exposing a betrayal.
ReplyDeleteThe answer depends on personal viewpoints on the issues that resulted in the espionage.
Whatever the reason, the family are suffering. I feel for them xx
This is so sad!
ReplyDeleteWhat a tragic post to read, Baili. I am truly sad for Nadra and her children. I can't begin to imagine how they must be suffering. I, too, will keep them in my prayers. Hugs to you!!!
