The Swallows of Kabul Chapter 15

Atiq gets Zunaira into his office, and his wife gets positioned in the cell before Quassim arrives. When he finally gets there, Quassim's women take the prisoner, but Quassim wants to talk. When Atiq resists, Quassim sees a shadow in the corner of his office, and Atiq says that is his wife. Quassim talks Atiq into letting the women in his office (Zunaira) go to the stadium to watch the show with all of Quassim's women. They go and Musarrat is killed. When everyone goes to leave, Atiq goes to find Zunaira in the crowd and she is nowhere to be found. Atiq goes crazy looking for her. When Atiq goes home, he has a dream that Zunaira has come home, but when the veil is removed, it is Musarrat with have of her face gone from a gunshot wound. Eventually he starts running the streets, ripping off every woman's burqua in sight, and he still cannot find her. The men who "own" own the women Atiq is violating go after Atiq, and attack him. They shout many ways to execute Atiq, but I'm guessing that they beat him to death. With the way they were going, it did not sound like they would be satisfied until he was dead. I have no idea where Zunaira went, but I don't think that she made it too far yet. I think that she is still hiding around the city, and that she will run away later.
