Thousand Splendid Suns 4

When Tariq and Laila were at the movie talking about how none of them were ever going to get married Tariq states "they'll have to make room for three on teh wedding stage. Me, the bride, and the guy holding the gun to my head." Technically those two were "married" or joined as one when they had sex and later Tariq was bombed and soon after died because of it. Comparing Laila and Tariq to the story of Romeo and Juliet also set their fate as having a relationship that fails and they all eventually die of a broken heart. Laila's road to death has changed though because she dodged it by not being in the house when it was bombed. Also she has Tariq's baby developing in her tummy. Anything and everything bad could happen to Laila and the baby though if someone finds out its not Rasheed's baby. Mariam is more than likely going to have some reaction to Laila giving rasheed a baby when seh wasn't able to. Mariam is already treated like a worthless slave without Rasheed knowing Laila's pregnant, how will seh be treated when he does find out?
