In this chapter Said goes to look for Rauf Ilwan and attempts to kill him. He’s not sure whether he was successful but had to flee in fear of being caught. He arrives at Nur’s house where he waits for her and when returns she sees the bullet graze he got after trying to assassinate Rauf. She tells him how much she worries and that he should put his efforts into finding a way to run away together. He promises her that they “will escape and live together forever.” (Page 253)
