Uddrag
Bettina is one of Parvez's loyal customers, and often drives with him at night. The two have known each other for three years, and have a good relationship with each other:
"He could talk to her about things he'd never be able to discuss with his own wife" (P. 101, L. 84-85). Bettina is a prostitute, and is described as following:
"Bettina stood in the rain wearing high heels, a short skirt and a long mac on top ..." (P. 103, L. 157-160). It could indicate that Bettina had a past or present abuse:
"Bettina had drawn pictures of capsules, syringes, pills, powders, rocks. "(P. 101, L. 164-165). Parvez and Bettina enjoy spending time with each other.
They trust each other, and save with each other in relation to their personal problems. In relation to Parvez's culture it is considered being wrong to spend time with 'such women', prostitutes.
Parvez and Ali have a bad relationship, and are unable to talk to each other. In the text, Parvez even says, "He was aware that he had become slightly afraid of his son" (P. 99, L. 15-16).
Because Parvez works at night and drinks alcohol around the clock, it has led to a bad relationship with his son Ali. Ali is, as mentioned before, critical and incomprehensible to his father's behavior.
