Here i would like to thank @mudasernaeem who called in the morning to guide me about naltar. ja hum naltar rahay thay aur excited mudi tha chaa gya hai mudi
we reached nomal and asked a mehran wala bhai k gari naltar payeen tk jayegi ya yahin say jeep lay lein? he said k yaar araam say jaye gi. hum nay ye sochay beghair, k bhai apni mehran k hisaab say bta rahay hain, (mehran tou mini jeep hai, kahin bhi chali jati hai ) gaari upar ki taraf mor di. thora aagay ja k police chowki pay 1 police walay nay kaha k jayegi, baakio nay kaha k nahi jayegi. road bhi kuch achi nahi lag rahai thi, khair hum chowki cross kr k agay nikal gaye.
agay jb road mazeed kharab hui tou wahan kuch aur police walay kharay thay. meine ja k un say pucha, tou ek bhai nay kaha k gari 1 piece mei mushkil he pohanchay gi
bhai say thori gup lagi, meine unko btaya k nomal mei hamein koi jeep nazar nahi ayi tou unho nay kaha k aap aein meray sath wapis nomal, mei apki gari bhi khari karwa deta hun aur jeep ka bhi bandobast kar deta hun. mei un k sath bike pay betha, baki dost gari mei, nomal pohanch gaye. nomal mei ek khali shop mei unho nay hamari gaari khari karwa di. Un bhai ka naam Naeem tha. jeep nomal mei nahi thi, so, naltar bala say jeep mangwanay ka intazaam hua
tb tk naeem bhai nay mujhay bike pay nomal ka trip lagwaya, police chowki dikhai. he was a nice man. and the most amazing part was k he offerred us money, said k aap log apnay gharo say door hain, agar aap ko paiso ki zaroorat hai tou btaein. aur baar baar pucha k zaroorat hai tou bta dein. secondly unho nay kaha k agar aap logo k pas time hai tou btaein mei 3 din chutti lay leta hun aur apko apna ilaqa dikhata hun. time he tou nahi tha hamaray pas
Khair jeep pohanchi tou jeep mei baithay aur rawana ho gaye.
A picture with naeem bhai.
