Mrs. Ahoo's Husband

By Ali Mohammad Afghani

In 1930s Kermanshah, Seyed Miran Sarabi, a respected bakery owner and family man, leads a quiet life with his devoted wife Ahoo and their children. His world collapses when he encounters Homa, a young divorced dancer trapped in the orbit of a ruthless troupe master. What begins as sympathy turns into a dangerous obsession. Miran rescues Homa from her past, brings her into his home, and marries her, tearing apart the family he once cherished. Homa’s presence ignites a brutal domestic war. Ahoo fights to protect her family as Miran sinks deeper into desire, vanity, and the illusions of modernity sweeping Iran under Reza Shah. Homa, desperate for freedom, spirals into loneliness and moral decay. Miran, consumed by passion, loses his wealth, his honor, and nearly his sanity. When poverty strikes, Homa seeks divorce and Miran violently expels Ahoo from her own home. But when Miran plans to flee the city with Homa, Ahoo finally rises. In a moment of raw defiance, she confronts her husband in public and drags him back from ruin. Homa leaves Kermanshah with a stranger, swallowed by the same darkness she once tried to escape. Ahoo returns home with Miran, ready to rebuild what remains. A story of obsession, betrayal, and a woman’s quiet evolution into strength, The Husband of Ahoo Khanom unravels seven years of love and destruction in a world caught between tradition and forced modernity.
