In the fervor of hesitation, taking a firm decision, denying the message of night, and bringing the intended conclusion to life, Hana's vision ruthlessly haunted her after the departure of their guest. Torn between falling in love with Hamid and hating his family, specially his mother, damaged her unconquerable resilience. She, who was able to bring her family to accept an impossible matter with her strong will, felt so weak, so bitter, and so abject, that no encouraging word could ease that great pain. Why wasn't she happy? While examining her real self, she remembered insolent power of Hamid's mother and the ridiculous silence of his father. The morbid character of that woman had left a loathsome stigma in her mind that she could find no cure for it. Her contemptuous and fierce attitude frightened Hana to a degree of shaking in her closet- like room; and in her exhausted mind, she pictured many scenarios and immoralities that had been done by that woman to Hamid. Even though Hana was not aware of that brusque raising one's child at that hazy moment, soon she would find out what she saw in her imagination the evening of her engagement, had really happened; and for some strange reason, she saw them in her vision and she knew about them that night. Those thoughts made her very sad for Hamid. She promised herself to be a good, loving wife for him to make up for his lost love of his mother; and to give him what he had never had, a real love.
Involved in her own world, she heard the phone rang. Running downstairs, hoping it would be Hamid, she found her mother frozen and silent of an unknown shock, listening to the person on the other side.
"Who is it mom?" Hana could not wait for her mom to finish the conversation.
Gol put her finger to her lips, means to hush. Her act made Hana even more nervous. She wondered who might be calling that late. Hana's eagerness to talk to Hamid, she had assumed it was him when she was in her room, caused her to lose her strong intuition. Finally when Gol was off the phone, Hana noticed her pale face and trembling body; and before Gol would reach the floor, while collapsing, Boby and Hana caught her. When Gol gained her consciousness, the reflection of a blazing heat in her eyes made her children to understand that the phone call had been a shocking news about Van.
