Aman-Jalil looked at Gulshan and felt his soul overflowing with tenderness and love.

– How her beauty blossomed, what pleasure it will be to dress this body, and even more to undress it. Give her gifts of pleasure, – Aman-Jalil thought, examining every detail of her body.

He drove away other, sinful thoughts: he wanted to undress her right here, in the office, on the wide leather couch he confiscated, where, he didn't remember anymore, and enjoy her instead of this exhausting work.

– Intentionally disappeared? – he asked, jealous.

– What's your business? Are you my husband? – Gulshan jumped up. – In your opinion, did we have to stay for the entertainment of the whole street, or even the city.

– That's right, you couldn't stay, the city is solid! – Aman-Jalil threw contemptuously.

– Listen, what have you attached to me? – offended for the native town Gulshan raged. – You came, trampled on all the laws of hospitality, adat and Quran in addition, did your dirty, black business and still make fun. You, villain, even dishonored my mother…

– Don't talk nonsense, woman, I needed your widow when you were nearby.

– Ara, means you mean, she went for a walk and had a baby?

– This is a driver, eh! I'll tell him, he'll marry your mother… Are you happy now?

– I will be happy if you follow his example and marry me, I'm also expecting a child…

Aman-Jalil was pleased.

– Well done, you make me a man… But I can't get married. Don't ask: why, why? I can't and that's all!..

…It's hard to explain what you don't understand yourself. Ahmed recently called him with a report on confiscation. He was pleased with his share, the amount sent to the capital, to the emir's palace, rejoiced like a child, and when Aman-Jalil was going to leave, he returned him from the door.

– Boy, why don't you get married? The bride didn't grow up?

Aman-Jalil was embarrassed.

– I'm joking, joking, – Ahmed laughed. – Not married yet. I found you a bride: beautiful, smart… True, I can't persuade her, but hope and wait. I said, I'll help!
