Chapter 71

• “Habibti... Wake up.” Dashtan said as he woke his wife, who was still fast asleep. It was the first time he had seen his wife wake up later than usual. Rakia just squirmed and mumbled something incoherent. Dashtan smiled at the woman’s childish behavior.
• “Hey, wake up, do you want me to eat breakfast alone?”
• Rakia’s hearing seemed to have fully recovered, even if sleepiness still gripped her. She clucked, then laboriously lifted her eyelids. She saw Dashtan’s figure only in faint shadows.
