    In Behind The Veil Siham is stating that she loves her veil because It allows Siham to spend time with Ishan because in pg 4 of the story when Siham and Ishan meet, Ishan commented on Ishan and said “I respect you and your whole appearance tells me that you are from a good family”this tells that Ishan has a crush and respects Siham also Siham talks to him about the society they live in saying “we live in a society in which this situation is unforgivable. if my people knew anything about this they’d have me killed”. this tells that she respects tradition too and knows the risk of talking to Ishan which her father has not approve of him. and if anyone knows about this she will be in big trouble also I think this makes Ishan have more respect toward Siham because she respects tradition and on pg 2 it states that “Ishan was not interested in chasing unveiled girls” this states that he finds women with no veils on them in his opinion to be unattractive.finally on pg 5 the quote saying by Siham “I will see you again in two days” means that Siham and Ishan will see each other again, this explains why I think the veil means to Siham.
