– What are you doing?

– And he decided to marry her? Let him marry, we'll help him, people should help each other, what do you think, son?

– I still want to, but you should leave, mother's here, you'll leave her with nothing today.

– You don't know your mother well, young man!

Ismail Bey mischievously stepped outside, leaving Aman-Jalil with Dilber…

Later that evening, Dilber's parents caught their shameless daughter in Husayn's embrace; they were asleep. A wedding had to be arranged. Husayn was so happy, so overjoyed, he embraced Aman-Jalil and swore eternal friendship to him…

Aman-Jalil poured tea into the cups and pondered how to get out of this tea-drinking.

– Go, bring me… – he ordered the driver, – French cognac. Men need cognac for such meetings. Let the women drink tea; we'll warm up differently.

The driver was eager. Hoping to get a drink himself, he hastily carried out the task. But Sardar Kareem refused the cognac.

– I don't drink wine!

– Oh, what a devout Muslim you are! Give a few coins to the mullah; he'll absolve all your sins for the next week.

– I don't go to the mullah.

– Well, that's not good; you don't want to drink with a friend.

– I prefer tea; you yourself said we've never had anything like this…

Nevertheless, Aman-Jalil poured him cognac despite any objections.

– Leave it there; if you want, you can drink it.

But Sardar Kareem didn't touch the cognac and continued drinking tea.

– Top quality! – he complimented, taking a sip.

– Drink up; I have plenty. If you want, I'll leave a pack for you.

Aman-Jalil and the driver toasted "to the health of those present." Meanwhile, Sardar Kareem, the widow, and her daughter drank tea… but not for long. Soon, the sleeping draught took effect. Aman-Jalil looked at the sprawled bodies with satisfaction. The driver froze in horror.

– Did you poison them? – he asked Aman-Jalil in a hoarse voice.

– Nonsense, I swear by my father! Can't you hear the widow snoring?

– I see! – the driver sighed calmly.

– I see that you fancy her too; take her, take her to another room, do whatever you want with her for half an hour, then dress her as she was, and come to me with the camera…
