- How much for that shalwar kameez?
- After around an hour, her first customer came. It was a Talib. The talib took out a letter from his vest and asked Parvana to read it. Although she was scared, she read it.
- I need to go home!
- As Parvana finished reading the letter, the Talib was silent. A tear fell down from his eye and he told Parvana that it was one of his dead wife's belongings; he wanted to know what it said. The Talib paid Parvana and went away silently.
- Soon, another customer came. He wanted to buy Parvana's beautiful shalwar kameez. At first Parvana named a high price, but the customer declined. They bargained and bargained until they settled with an amount.
- Parvana stayed for a couple more hours until she decided to go home; also partly because she desperately needed to go to the restroom. She packed up all her belongings and ran all the way home.
