Lajja
“The black-and-white cat was walking about. Was it looking for scraps or searching for Maya? Maya used to carry her around and she would curl up and sleep under Maya’s quilt. Did she know that Maya was not there?
Maya must be crying a lot. Maybe she was crying out for her brother too. Had they bound Maya’s arms and legs? Had they stuffed her mouth with cloth? A young woman of twenty-one was very different from a little girl of six. The reasons for abducting a twenty-one-year-old woman were a...lso different from the reasons for taking away a six-year-old girl. Suronjon could well imagine the things seven men could do with a woman of twenty-one! His whole being went rigid with anger and pain. His body seemed almost lifeless, as if he were dead. Was Suronjon alive? Oh yes, he was alive. Maya was not there. Of course, that did not mean that Maya’s people would die because Maya was not there! Anyway, no one gives one’s life for the sake of another. Human beings are very selfish.MoreLess
