page 83

....motiya s marble finish  feet in  the flowing water looked decorative pieces of polished jewelry kept in the jewelry showroom windows  , batul  watched those  milky white  delicate feet with desire  , her gaze held  as usual  beholding  the beauteous sight 
Throwing  a handful of water at batul motiya asked her what had happened  drawing her attention towards herself,  both had come to sit  at the spot near the village well where all the women folk got together to wash their clothes,  from the well  the near by fields were  watered and women  kept themselves busy doing their  laundry 
Batul  ready to actively take revenge   scooped water in both hands joined and threw it on motivation echoing her  words  what happened,  didn't she already tell her all
She began  gathering her things,  wet clothes  washed in the bucket,  the wooden washing bat to beat up the  thick washing,  , so sayyad was quite rascally  commented motiya sulking  who had just minutes ago shared her romantic episode with him,  sayyad was batul  s cousin  working in Dubai,  batul madly was in love with him  but he was scared  and being in love with a coward is  almost suicidal  like swinging in the air  uncertainly  sometimes  balancing your feet on the board below for  support 
It's not him but his father who is rascally,  sayyad is just a coward,  batul tried to explain her point to motiya 
There was no need to fall in love to such a person  motiya wasn't convinced 
Naturally he doesn't love me  said  batul it's me who is mad for him,  batul looked rather satisfied 
Motiya  kept looking at her astonished  by her explanation
