- agathi unheeding of the three men began crossing the wave of humans towards masih nasri, not a single eye lufted to look at her and the three men followed her , deep inside the core of the crowd sat a man surrounded by the thick crowd,, his seat was higher than the rest and he was of a medium height , good looking and rather red skinned, curly haired and dark eyed, bearded, this was masih nasri, agathi felt a strange spiritual feeling emitting from him

from previous-
-a huge crowd gathered in the olive groves. it was masih nasri and his followers all spread out over the fields, reaching the place agathi faced some discomfort, she passionately desired to see at least one glimpse of masih nasri, but it seemed impossible to cross the ocean of humans rubbing against each other to reach him and meet him, following her zakrya, azir and marcus also reached the spot, seeing her so defeated and helpless in the crowd unable to see masih nasri they again tried their best to change her mind and ask her to go back
page 86-

from previous-
-suddenly it dawned on zakrya one day that things had tuned the wrong direction, agathi had given more importance to marcus over azir, azir returned complaining against marcus and agathi. azi then approached zakrya and explained he had made a mistake judging agathi, he asked his advice, zakrya was surprised, azir added she had described zakrya as far sighted and a believer , marcus for her was just another non believer
page 81-
-then what do you want,
-he replied he could not express it all but he wanted them to remain silent and keep their tongues in their mouths shut, that they should not demand anything
