Clarissa?!”That caught my ear, and I looked up. She knew my name. Her skin was light brown and her face had vaguely Asian eye folds and full, pouting lips. So many of my types, all in one.

For a moment, Ravi thought of letting things follow the natural progression and waited. However, Ravi's conscience prompted him to rush after Raju. He intercepted him mid-way to Vandhana's room from the courtyard. By some luck, he was able to impede Raju's progress, when Raju stumbled on Ravi's foot. As Raju fell, the sickle escaped his hands.Raju got up and faced Ravi. Enraged Raju, rushed towards Ravi.Ravi stepped aside more in self defense and Raju rushed further on and fell into the small.
