Maulana Rumi
was passing through the bazaar. There was a grocery shop in front of Maulana Sahib.
A middle-aged woman was standing at the shop and the shopkeeper was looking at her in a state of ecstasy.
The shopkeeper would take the object out of the sack with his hand and put it in the bag until the woman’s finger went to another sack and the shopkeeper would blindly remove the object from the other sack. It starts to put in the bag …
It was a strange scene. The shopkeeper was looking at the customer with amazement and the customer was moving the shopkeeper around the shop with his finger gesture and the shopkeeper was quietly following his orders like Allah Din.
The woman finally took a deep breath and ordered the shopkeeper, “Let’s just finish today’s purchase …”
The shopkeeper closed the mouths of the small bags, put them in a large sack, placed the sack on his shoulder and said to the woman, “Let me leave the goods at your house in Zubeida …”
The woman shook her head at Nakhot and asked, “How much has been calculated …?”
The shopkeeper replied, “Zubeida Ishq does not count …”
The woman looked at him angrily, turned back and walked towards the house. The shopkeeper also picked up the sack and quietly followed her.
Maulana Sahib was watching this scene. The shopkeeper went with the woman. Maulana Sahib sat on the shop floor and the students stood in the street. The shopkeeper came back after a while, Maulana Sahib called the shopkeeper and asked “Who was this woman …?”
