Sumera would often search for me with her eyes while playing hopstotch on the days when i didn't come to the Yaarbal or the fields. I observed this as I lay hidden behind some obstacle to watch her movements . After my eighteenth birthday, Sumera suddenly vanished .
I had never talked to her, but not seeing her for days began to make me as restless as a child. Now she wouldn't come to the fields, the Yaarbal or the kitchen garden.
I searched for her everywhere and spent many sleepless nights on the bed thinking about her and wondering at her sudden desertion. Her green eyes began to fill my imagination and the thought of her being confined to some place made me sad.
A month passed and then another . I spent the days roaming around in search of her . I had already explored the places she visited regularly but i did not give up.
Finally, after three months of being deprived of her presence , i caught a glimpse of her.
I was sitting on the concrete stairs that formed a path up to the Yaarbal when i noticed a girl dressed in complete burqa on the other side.
I recognised her____ those almond-shaped green eyes were speaking to me, asking me a question.
She wasn't alone at Yaarbal. The other girls formed a circular barricade around her. We couldn't look at each other directly, but i found a way to look at her.
I was continuously staring at her reflection on the shiny waters of the Yaarbal.
