Black circles swam before Zahiya's sight, filling the space of the room. She seized her sister's arms harshly and hard, and her voice rose high as she said: "Speak, you foolish girl, and tell me what you have done! I can read the truth in those two glittering eyes, and I want it plain and naked."

"Malak" screamed in pain, trying to break loose from her sister's grip, and an overwhelming feeling of pity for that frail body swept over Zahiya's heart as she all but crushed the two weak arms in her grasp. She loosened her hands and covered her face with them and said in a whisper: "Malak, speak — do not prolong my torment"...

Malak drew Zahiya's hands away from her wet face and gripped them hard, as though she wanted a rope by which to lift herself out of a bottomless abyss!

"I lied to him, Zahiya — a great lie, to drive him away from our house and from you." And a shadow of immense despair darkened her face as she cried out, weeping:

"Death is easier for me than to see you sweeping about in a wedding gown and drinking the cups of happiness to the dregs, Zahiya. I cannot bear to see you tender over a husband and embracing children the like of whom I shall never be able to embrace. I cannot bear to see you love and be happy!"...

And she laughed a frightening, hysterical laugh and shouted, tightening her grip on the edge of the chair:

"Do not stare into my face like that, as if I were an escaped madwoman. You will never understand anything, because you are whole and sound. Do you know, Zahiya, what it means to be deprived of life while you are alive? Do you hear the voices of human beings coming from a world you imagine to be far away, while you are in it? Do you dream, wide awake and resentful,

that you are walking upon a great blessing called the earth, and looking up at a great mercy called the sky? Do you read of love and happiness from a corner that has room only for a sick body that will never move and a fettered heart that will never be freed? Do you wake every day to

a harsh, hideous truth, wishing it might become a phantom that fades with the sun at the end of the day? Go to your fiancé and tell him this! Then tell him that you are pure as a lily, deserving the spotless wedding gown — not as I painted you, and how ugly
