Alkanpari was enamoured by the human present in front of her. And when she came to know he was Hatim, prince of Yemen, she made him sit on her throne and bowed to him in respect. She asked him the reason for his visit. When he told her about the waiting merchant, she said, “He is not my true lover. When I gave him my name, told him where I lived and showed him the direction, why did he not follow me?” “He has been waiting for you for seven years. He has not moved out from that house for even seven minutes, in case you appear at that very time! I promised him I would help him. If you do not agree, I will die at your doorstep!” Threatened Hatim. Finally, Alkanpari agreed to allow the merchant to be brought up to her garden and see her from a distance. But she would not accept him as her husband.
