thoughts  became  muddled。  I  didn’t  read  the  letters  again。  The  sun  broke

through  the  clouds  and  it  occurred  to  me  that  if  I’d  entered  Hasan’s

bedchamber  one  night  and  made  love  with  him;  no  one;  except  Allah;

would’ve  been  the  wiser。  He  did  resemble  my  missing  husband;  it’d  be  the

same thing。 Sometimes a strange thought like this entered my head。 As the sun

quickly warmed me; I could feel my body: my skin; my neck; even my nipples。

“No; when I grow up I’m going to marry you myself。”

It  wasn’t  aging;  losing  one’s  beauty  or  even  being  bereft  of  husband  and
