Answer 2

The postmaster was tortured by doubt or remorse. He was filled with remorse bcoz he failed to understand Ali's concern about his daughter. The postmaster's daughter was unwell and he anxiously waited for some news of her. When he saw an envelope he expected it from his own daughter and quickly snatched it. However it was not addressed to him but to Ali. His disappointment at not receiving any news of his daughter made him realize the sorrow and pain of Ali who waited for five years for some news of his daughter.

Hope this will help you :)
