She came near the couple and exclaimed, "How wonderful!

She came near the couple and exclaimed, "How wonderful! You have left the party to hide here and enjoy yourselves." Salah was taken by surprise and the girl was very embarrassed. Fitnah remarked, "I knew that you were occasionally unfaithful to me, but not to such a degree in my own home!" "Fitnah please...” Salah began to say.

"Stop your nonsense, you, who change your partners like you change clothes." Salah said, "But, it is you who..." "I know what you want to say, so don't bother to explain yourself," Fitnah told him angrily. "It is my own mistake. I trusted you. Now I see you are no better than any other playboy." Salah pleaded, "Oh, Fitnah, you never thought about my feelings. You lavished all your attention on that engineer." Fitnah said, "What has that to do with you?

Have you ever tried to behave, at least in my house? Go, you mean nothing to me!" "Please, be fair to me, let me..." She turned away before he could finish his sentence. Salah was very unhappy, although his companion tried to cheer him up. He rejoined the party and begged for Fitnah's forgiveness. In fact, Fitnah had planned to enjoy the evening with her lover, but she found that her husband was missing. She went to his room and saw him sprawled on his bed, quite drunk.

Her maid was sitting near the bed. Fitnah asked, "Why has he come here?" Nadia told her, "I brought him." "How could you have dragged him along?" Nadia replied, "He was not drunk at that time." Fitnah exclaimed, "You gave him too much to drink. How dare you? You tricky..." Nadia interrupted, "Please, my lady, I am not a tricky person. I am the same as you are, no less or more.

At least I am satisfied with one, while you..." Fitnah began, "Shut your mouth you stupid little..." "I am not as stupid as you think I am," Nadia defiantly said, standing up. Fearing that her guests would notice her absence, Fitnah ordered Nadia to wake up Hamid, since it was a matter of politeness to say good-bye to his guests. Feeling hatred and disgrace, she joined the others: Her lover tried to speak to her, but she gave him no chance.

Hamid was too intoxicated to wake up, so the guests left with only Fitnah to bid them good night. Salah alone remained. He knelt in front of Fitnah and swore that he didn't care for anyone but her. He was clever enough to articulate words of love and she finally forgave him. After he left, she went to her husband's room to find him in a deep sleep, so she went to her own room.
