Chapter 14

Musarrat really steps up in this chapter when she goes to the jail. She tells Atiq that she will take Zunaria's place and be the one executed. She says that she doesn't want to suffer any more, and she wants her husband to have a shot at true happiness. No one will notice the difference because she would be wearing a burqa and no one really cares, as long as there is someone that will be executed. Atiq doesn't want to do it at first, but he doesn't try very hard to stop her. I don't know how he conciously did this because I could never knowingly switch my wife with a prisoner that is going to be killed. I would never be able to forget how it's my fault that my wife died.
