Another girl

Kavita was feeling guilty, and thought she was cursed. She felt as if she was failing her mission to Jasu, but the smile her baby gave her warmed her heart up.

Kavita and Jasu went to bed in a very silent night. Darkness had wrapped itself around the couple’s hut,… That night, Jasu and Kavita slept in separated beds. I was the first time in many years that they didn’t sleep together and the coldness of the dark night made the situation feel as if they were trapped in a nightmare.

The morning rose and Kavita had taken the decision to keep her baby even against her husband’s will. She had heard about women in America, that were free and independant. Why should that freedom be denied to her ? A strong voice whispered in her heart telling her: « Fight for your beautiful girl! » .
