the apparent bill. He gave me this drink, as I did not know what was
going on I told him that his son told me not to drink (thus he found out
that I was being told the secrets) I don?t know what happened to the boy
I had the drink at that place and that drink whatever it was caused

of pain in the front and back side of my chest and in lower back. There
was another man named Azeem Hakani at that time working as chief
