Yeah...as Basit grew older things had become sin bitter between him and his mother and Salman Sahab did nothing to make things better until he fell ill. It was only when he knew he was dying that he called Sadia to come back. And to her credit she immediately returned.
But I want to say something...while I can understand what happened and how Sadia left, I do not condone her behaviour. Her abandonment had a streak of selfishness in it just as Salman Sahab's refusal to give Basit to her also had a streak of selfishness in it. But Basit obviously grew up with his father and surrounded by his father's love. So while he sees the wrongs in his mother's behaviour,.he is quite blind to the mistakes that his father had made.
I agree..he is blind to his father's mistakes..may be be blames his mother for that too..if she was there for them, this situation wouldn't arise.
