Chapter 13

Atiq tries to get Zunaria released by talking to Quassim. He obviously says no, but Atiq is persistant. Everyone thinks he is crazy for wanting to help a prisoner he just met. It is kind of strange because he never even considered helping one of his prisoners before. His connection to Zunaria is strange and I think kind of shallow. He doesn't know anyting about her, he only thinks that she is pretty. It took Musarrat to make him even think about why she was in jail. He eventually just tries to let her go. In the middle of the night he opens her cell and tells her to run away and never come back. Confused, she says no because she has no one. Her family is gone and she killed her husband, leaving her with no one. If I were her, I would think that i was being tested by Atiq to see if I would try to excape or something. I would probably also say no because if it was a test, the punishment could be far worse than what it already is.
