Mariam and Laila both knew that the murder of Rasheed could simply be forgotten, so Mariam took it upon herself to figure out a plan. Mariam would turn herself in while Laila and the kids would leave with Tariq to Pakistan. The plan was successfully carried out. Mariam was executed and Laila along with the kids left Kabul to Pakistan with Tariq. As soon as they arrived to Pakistan Laila and Tariq got married. They worked as janitors at a hotel. Laila had regained the freedom she lost when she married Rasheed. Laila lived a happy life in Pakistan, but knew they all had to go back to Kabul to help rebuild the city now that the Taliban no longer ruled the city. The idea of going back to the place that caused them so much pain is not one that I would agreed with. The Afghans have thought that war was over plenty of time only to find out that a new warlord has defeated the last dictator to become the next.
