Chapter 2: The First Sparks
It had been 2 days since Shruti had borrowed water from her Farhan’s house and now she was running short again. She had been wearing the same Saree for 3 days by now and it has started to smell. Infact Shruti hadn’t showered for days by this point and the hot summer days were not kind to her.
She would sweat uncontrollably, while this wouldn’t be a problem worth even giving a thought in normal days, these days without water it made her very comfortable in her own skin.
She would get sweaty in the summer heat which would require her to get fresh and clean her dirty cloths. But without water she had to deal not just with the sweat and smell but also the dirty cloths piling up.
She decided it was time to ask Farhan for a favor once again. Shruti didn’t want to go to Farhan in how she looked at the moment. Though last time she nervously just went and asked him to use his bathroom without thinking much but now something inside her told her that she should go in a more presentable way.
