'Tortured by doubt and remorse, he sat down in the glow of the charcoal sigri to wait.' Who is tortured by doubt and remorse? Why? What is he waiting for?

The Post Master was tortured by doubt and remorse because he failed to understand the anxiety of the old man and insulted him. The newly-awakened father's heart made him spend the whole night of restless anxiety, in hope to receive the letter from her daughter.
