After Dabasir spend his first month in slavery and doing work at horse stable .
he got a new task from overseer that he has to visit sira's mother and he had to ensure the safety of madam sira .
Madam sira's mother is always , she had got a terminal illness and sira is her only daughter and next heir to her property ,so tribal chief always insure that sira visits her mother occasionally so that if something happened to her mother than he will got all the property will became rich instantly .sira's mother home is almost 1 week away from the place where tribal chief lives.
Dabasir stood and took some horses with him loaded the horse with necessary food and drink so that they would have sufficient food during the time , sira was a noble birth but she doesn't know how to ride the horse ,
dabasir helped sira to sit on the back and lead the way .
dabasir was not allowed to ride the horse because he cannot I have equal standing to its master , as sira and dabasir went on he had a urge to talk to madam sira .
so he turned over to sira and that day he thanked her for her intercession and also toll her that he was not a slaver by birth, but the son of a freeman , an honourable trader of delhi . he also told her much of my story .
Her comments were disconcerting to him and he pondered much after on what he said .
she said " how can you call yourself a free man when you weakness has brought you to do this ? if a man has in himself the soul of a slave will he not become one no matter what his birth , even as seeks its level ? If the man has I. himself the soul of a freeman will he not become a freeman ,will he not become respected ,honourable in his own city despite of his all ill fortunes ?.
as they went forward and forward and reached the house of old lady dabasir was very touched the words of the lady and he thought again and again and knew he wants to be freeman and roam the world and became respected and honourable in his own city .
day by day his will of becoming rich was getting stronger and stronger and
that day he made his mind and first he move planned for himself was ti segregate himself from the other slaves , so that there thought and views will not make a impression on his subconscious mind and he just always thunk of getting rich he didn't know how he will he became rich or how will he leave his life as a slave but only thought in his mind was to become rich no matter what happens ,he had to become rich .
On the return trip from the house of the sira's mother he didn't talk to anyone he become totally introvert and didn't tell anyone what he his thinking he just kept moving. his legs and do time to time work.
They reached the tribe at night and dabasir took the horsses to the stable and went to his own log and went to
sleep .
Several days later-
One day Sira asked dabasir that " in the even time when the others slaves are mingle and enjoy the society of each other , why do you sit alone here"?
"to which he responded ,'I am pondering what you have said to me . I wonder what if I have the soul of freeman. I cannot joint them,so I must sit apart.
" I too must sit apart " she confided ." My dowry was very large and my lord married me because of it . yet he does not desire me .What every women is longing for is to be desired .Because of this and because she was barren and have neither son nor daughter so I sit apart. if I were a man I wold have died rather than became someone slave but the convention of our tribe make slaves of women."
dabasir asked "what do you think of me this time ? have I the soul of of a freeman or slave"
"have you desired to repay the the just debts you owe in delhi?" she parried . "yes I have the desire , but I see no way ."
" if you contendly let the years slip by and make no effort to repay ,then you has the soul of slave but now you want to pay them back that means you have the soul of a freeman."
" but what can I do who am a slave in Afghanistan ?."
"stay in Afghanistan if you are a weakling"
"I am not a weakling ,I denied hotly.
" then prove it"
" how"
"does not the great king fight for his army in every way possible and with every force he has?"
then sira went to her work and dabasir started doing this work in horse stable.
