In Chapter 14, Hussain, tired of his father's bad reputation, wants to leave home. Mrs. Kirsha panics at the prospect of losing her son, and she seeks out Kirsha to confront him. Kirsha is annoyed by the drama, and blames his wife even as he hurries home with her. Despite his father's interference, Hussain remains firm in his ambition, claiming he wants to be a 'gentleman' like his friends, who live in modern homes with electricity.
