beautifully depicted contemplative mode used to give an insight to readers that family is a collective unit, each member a bird of a feather, the new bride must belong to this unit of ties, elina is different, she smokes and drinks too much, the rest of the family is shocked at her terrible behaviour , her rudeness spoils the atmosphere , everyone feels she should be given a divorce immediately, sunny-the doctor promises them he would change her to fit the family, in two months or then divorce her, elina sees him in their bedroom with rasool sal-allah-o-alle-wassalam's quotation in a thoughtful mood, he wanting to refine her, she hangs her mother"s picture on a wall, he is told her mother used to always wear a white veil to cover her head, she herself too in college days did so , but her friends made fun of her, she was hurt she changed, this revelation makes the doctor ask her who is she, what her values in life are, whose approval does she need, is she not strong enough, to be what and who she wants to be, a surprised bride stares at his question , a flicker of hope kindles in husband's eyes, he could refine her
