Excerpt
“O.K. Yogi.
I’m tired now. I’d like to have some rest now. Come Ravi. Let her also take
rest. Maaji, you also have a nap.”
Yogi could literally feel the coldness in Sharon’s voice. She was dismayed. How
had she been so indiscreet? The words had just slipped out involuntarily. But
didn’t that mean that it was at the back of her mind then? At all times too?
Tea-time was a strained affair.
Everyone tried to make small talk and failed miserably.
“Pass the sugar.”
“Here are the biscuits.”
“Isn’t it too warm now?”
Soon, there were no questions to ask
and none to answer! Everyone’s mind was buzzing with questions though! Only one
person had the answers. Yogita. She was pensive and subdued. She ate with
downcast eyes and avoided eye-contact with the others.
Sharon and Maaji looked at her with piercing eyes that seemed as though they’d bore a tunnel into her brain to wrench those answers. Ravi looked distant and disturbed. Why had Yogita said that?
