At a womans house

This story was confusing to me. There is a man sitting in a dark room which I am assuming is the house of the woman who comes in at the end of the story. He is there looking after a young child he guesses is about seven months old. He keeps referring to the city Taizz as beautiful and great. He also keeps mentioning the neighbors, the wife is cheating on the husband and she has thrown out her husband who sits on the front steps smoking tobacco. It sounds as though the baby may be ill because the man keeps saying how pale or yellowish the skin of the infant is. When the woman comes in at the end of the story it sounds like the man is just figuring out that he is actually in love with her.
