Boys Without Names (2010)
“We’re up but haven’t started work. We scramble to set up our trays, but he comes up the ladder quickly.
“You filthy, ungrateful pigs! You haven’t started work yet?”
He twists Sahil’s ears and slaps him, then he turns to me, “You are the smart one. You should know better than to waste your time, Gopal.” He jerks my arm behind my back and twists it. The pain shoots up to my shoulders. I bite my lip to stop a scream. He looks at me. “Keep an eye on them. I want the work done, and done right. If an...y one of them messes up, you will get a beating that you will never forget.”
I want to hit him over the head with the bead tray. If we had all done that as he came up the ladder he would have collapsed. Why didn’t I plan the attack with my friends last night? “Yes, Boss.”
“I have brought some milk for your tea. Make it last for the next two days because I don’t want to see your faces on Diwali.”
“We will,” Barish says.
“I’m talking to Gopal.”
“Yes, Boss.”MoreLess
