TO AN ANGRY HUSBAND

My Dear Me,

Forgive me. You know I am a foolish girl. I am really sorry that I had to tell you lies. You were cross with dear Akhtar and this I could not tolerate easily. I know, but for my intervention you would have beaten him or may be refuse. I hope you would agree with me that by telling a lie I did succeed in adverting a great calamity. I had wished to stay on at home until your return in the evening. But Suhail came to tell me that you had desired that I did accompany him and remain with sister Sadia at the nursing home. I thought it only proper to accomany him lest that should arouse a chain of suspicions in the imaginative brain of young Suhail. Akhtar felt sorry afterwards. I hope you would forgive me for the lie and implore that you would also forgive dear Akthar.

Even yours,

Anwari.
