At the end of the story, the narrator realizes that the use of the turban and long hair by her husband is a symbol of her origin and showed the resistance of immigrants and natives in a region as different as Canada. For this reason, she does not want her husband to give in to Western customs, cutting his hair and abandoning his turban, to find a job, since that hurts their essence. In that case, she prefers that he does not look for a job and that she does so.
She had this epiphany, the moment she saw the washing of the turbans, as she remembered how culturally important and familiar they are, since her father and brother used turbans all the time. At that moment, she recognized that removing the turban meant abandoning her origin and betraying her family and that should not happen anywhere in the world.
