(Calling.) Help! Help me! (Thought.) Saira. I do not know how to explain to you. You were too little to understand anything. All you understood was your cough and fever and diarrhoea. You lost your father even before you were born. I believe I have been fair to you so far. Allah has taken you away before any injustice could happen to you. But the gravest injustice of all is that you were born to me. I had nothing to give you. When you were born I had to leave you with your grandmother so I could go out and work again. That was the best thing to happen to you. At least your grandmother gave you some love and affection. When you meet your grandmother again, I hope you will thank her. And your sister Mumtaz. You were lucky to have a sister like her. You never saw your father. For you, I have only relief that you are gone without too much pain. At least you played with your rattle and you smiled when your grandmother sang for you. That is an ocean of happiness Saira. Very few people are fortunate like you. But please, please salute your sister when you meet her.

Silence.
