She looked away, as if dazed out of her dream as the cell phone beeped
and buzzed, the display flashed;
Customer Safdarganj calling
She reached for it.
The stranger holding a cell phone peeped out of the screen of the
laptop; she was trying to spot someone.
Customer

Customer

She dials another no.

Voice from the phone
Adha ghanta
Sakhi disconnects the call.
She looks back, ever so with unsaid revulsion at the bright screen of
the laptop which lay on the bed, looks at the camera and walks away
