Kavya looked up from the dough. For the first time, she truly saw the courtyard: the faded patterns of the rangoli from yesterday, the brass pot ( lotah ) by the door for washing feet, the old jhula —a wooden swing hanging from the rafters—where Leela sat every evening.

They ate the meal on the floor, sitting on a faded dhurrie (cotton rug). The kadhi was tangy and soothing, the pooris light as air, the mango slices a sweet, sun-drenched finale.
