I'd been asked ten minutes previous to that moment what my reaction would have been to her actions I would have said without a doubt I'd have grabbed her and shown her just how much I loved her. But she was drunk and she'd just had a bust-up with her boyfriend. She was vulnerable and all of a sudden I found that I was the one feeling reluctant.. The sacrifices we make for our friends. Did I mention it was the dead of winter and it was exceptionally cold out? We did as we were asked and we huddled around the hood of the car to stay warm.

We hadn’t gone more than a few more miles when the other guy in. Aunty had some work and had gone out. She came in just as my mother was leaving for the pandal. She wanted to freshen up asked my mom to proceed for the bhog ceremony. My mother told me to wait and bring Mala aunty to the puja pandal, once she is ready. She also told me to lock up the house properly, before we leave. I agreed as I really did not have any choice in the matter. Mom and sister then went to the pandal.
