” Shabanu you and Phulan help auntie pack the most important stuff. Leave what isn’t important. Keep the fire going” Pg 158. I am so upset right now. Shabanu sneaked out and was almost hurt by a crazy land lord. Shabanu and Phulan came home breathless and told me everything that happened. I am going to have to send all the girls away. The wedding will be ruined and Phulan will be devastated but this is for there safety. I am going to have to punish Shabanu for her actions of leaving the canal. How will Shabanu react to her punishment? I am going to send them to Derawar. They will leave tomorrow bright and early in the morning. I also will have to get Hamir and Murad to come with me to kick Nazir Muhammad off our land.
