...staying awake long last night she woke up quite late in the morning, she felt tired though the bed was soft and comfortable, with half open eyes she noticed the door was shut, outside there seemed noisy activities were happening, perhaps massive the domestic help had come and doing the dishes, she lazily stayed in bed, , in her mind s eye she saw the image of Yusuf and a sweet smile adorned her lips, next moment the smile disappeared like the sun behind dark clouds, lightning fell over her desires , she got your after tossing and turning for some more time, , she gathered her uncombed unkempt hair and tucked them in a catcher, , the room was filled with the stale scent of floral garlands shriveled on the side table, she shuddered looking at those dead flowers that were so attractive and vibrant till last night, , who had put them there she wondered, the blossoms had lost their freshness after use, lost their looks and value, , they had decorated branches necks and arms and discarded, unbelievable it was she got up, she looked at her reflection in the wall mirror, she touched her cheeks and looked carefully at herself, her wrists were fine, arms shapely, neck gracefully long, her face expressive, all was right and at that moment amil opened the door to step in
Amil declared it was action time for dearie who had overslept
A mold argued shouldn't she be given breakfast first
It was lunchtime , she must quickly reach the dining table all freshened up
When she was ready and saw the table it was laiden with food, she stretched her hand to get fried egg parathas to go with green spicy gravy and reheated leftovers all others were helping themselves with
