Amina went to the bathroom. She and her husband had dinner and Nasir told her that he was going to sleep because he was very tired. When she opened the bathroom door, she saw her husband washing his hands at the mirror of the toilet. She was surprised and called her husband by his name. He did not answer and he even continued to wash his hands without turning his head to her. Amina was angry. She told her husband whether he became deaf or something. Still, no reply. She stopped at the doorway and fear crept in her bones. She began,"Nasir, what is the matter? Why don't you answer me when I am talking to you?"

To her surprise, she heard him giggling loudly. At this moment, she began to sweat and she remembered that she had left her husband lying there on the bed. then she stepped back and ran to her husband's bedroom. Nasir was lying in his bed snoring. She woke him up by saying, "Nasir wake up, I think we had a burglar in the house, He was wearing your clothes."  Her husband told her to go to sleep and that she was imagining things. Amina was not convinced. She returned to the bathroom and to her increasing fear, she found the same guy still washing his hands. She screamed  and screamed and continued to do so. Her husband slapped her twice. She woke up. It was a bad dream.
