A Silver Box
This chapter describes Muharram Ali's life after his journey. Ahmed Khan told Ali to get two old volumes hidden in the inner compartment of the almirah: a thick leather-bound folio with flaking gold foil and a neatly bound diary. According to Ahmed, the big volume is his family's rūbakār. It contains information for organizing Muharram in Aminabad. Flipping to a random page in the rūbakār, Ali found specifications for the ziyārats. The smaller volume is Ahmed's journal. After Sufiya's mother died in Lahore, Ali traveled to the city and married Sufiya. They were never to live in the same country together.
