Excerpt
She observed that
her mother too, was weeping. Trying to
console her, Sudha said “I’m sorry for my outburst, Mummy. I know you didn’t do it on purpose. Let’s forget this incident.”
And they did just that.
Over the next few
days, it became more and more clear to Sudha that things could never be the same
again. Except for her two close friends,
Sanju and her parents, no one spoke to her properly. It was as an invisible but tangible barrier
had been erected between her and the rest of her friends of yesteryears.
No matter how much
she tried to convince herself that the people who really cared for her were all
the people she really needed; she felt lonely, unwanted!
