The same day, our third daughter was born at midnight. Next day I was discharged from the hospital. Samad had hugged Somayeh. He danced for joy; laughed and said: “This one is like me; pretty and cute.”

My mother, sisters, and sisters-in-law had come to help me. Sheena had suffered a stroke recently and couldn’t walk. She had sat next to me and kissed my hands all the time. My sisters were busy cooking in the kitchen. I looked about, but I didn’t find Samad. Calling my sister, I said: “Bring me a glass of tea.”

When she brought tea I whispered in her ear: “Samad isn’t at home?”

She smiled and said: “No. they informed us that Mr. Sattar’s wife is delivering of a child, when you were asleep. Mr. Samad went to take her to the hospital.”
