Engagement of companion for life partnership (IMAM ZAAMIN)

Yeh kya hoa, kaise hoa, kub hoa ki kahani mere zaba'ani - suchchi baatain sub ke liye jin ko maaloom nahin.

It was April 1965 when we were living in 1567/2, Joharabad (Federal B Area) Karachi. I and Maddan were gossiping when Farrukh Fatima Jafri (Nickname Phakko) came from Paposhnagar for her vessels kept with us, She was not observing purdah except  from me and bhai'jan . I was interested in one iron net belonging to them and was lying with us for several years. I asked Amman and paid an advance of Rs.5 and difference shall be paid later if any, and Diary of Bank of America is also given for her father.
In the meantime I told Maddan that Baji amman used to say good words about this girl and she is good match for someone interested. His remarks were why don't you select for you. I said first of all Bhaijan's marriage is not finalised and  I am not Settled yet. He said Just choose and reserve and other matters can be deferred. These words were so appealing to me that soon she left I went to Amman and asked her to talk about our match.
Amman told me you are naughty and used to talk not seriously, and if you agree to marry then I can talk. I immediately said no marriage or nikkah before Bhaijan's marriage however engagement is possible if yes from them within a week time other wise no from my side.
Like wise Amman agreed and next day Amman and Akhter went  with sweet box and my visiting card and details on back. An inquiry was made from my boss Abbas Hashmi of NSC by some one from her family. Within week it was agreed and the date of 25 April 1965 ( 22 zilhijj ) was agreed for Imam zamin.

From our side Amman Babu Bhaijan Akhtar Baaji Zeenat Choti baaji Suriya phupo, Shama unofficially nominated as Bhabhi jan and one wife of W Hussein as desired by DADi. Haider Nawab and Aftab. I had managed an official car Fiat and others taxis to travel from Fb area to PIB colony . Two tokras of laddo (One was not taken out from the Car) and choriyan, ring, dupatta, Imam zamin was sent together.
