Chapter 14

Musarrat is a very respectful woman. She sees that her husband is slumping around and she tries so hard to snap him out of it, but every time she gets near Atiq, he runs away from her. Finally they had a conversation after she realized his heart was into Zunaira. She told him to go to her and let his heart talk. To tell her that they could make it over the mountain before sunrise. Musarrat is amazing in how she could tell what was bugging her husband and that she would do anything to make him happy, even if it means not being with him. Atiq fell asleep so he didnt go and run away with Zunaira, but he woke up to Musarrat in her Burqa. She told him that she was dieing and that the few days or weeks that she had would be of pure suffering. Musarrat told him to switch her and Zunaira. She would hide in his office till she was stoned. What a noble thing! She is willing to go through so much pain. I respect Musarrat soooooo much!
