--four grand daughters stood in a line at that critical moment in the lounge before badi amma who was fuming red in rage, silent in anger , this was the first stage of showing how annoyed she was with them all, long silent minutes dramatically opened up badi amma to step onto the second stage of anger , she loudly threw a question to the four of them--who had lowered their heads , folded their hands , like accused culprits-fariha, manal, jaya and arisha were quiet, badi amma shouted her whipp like tone made them lower their heads in shame and guilt--did they understand because of them how much ashamed she was --arisha quickly answered of course she knew of it--jaya on her left nudged her elbow -arisha quickly changed her statement -no she did not know -this time fariha on her right stamped her on her foot -silly arisha should keep quiet , answering back was not expected , not acceptable, yes and no did not matter, when they were rebuked they were supposed to hang their necks even lower than before with fake shame
