a girl and need a boy to help us in the fields (“we can’t keep this baby.
We need a boy to help
us in the fields.
[…] we can hardly afford one child […].
My cousin’s daughter is […] still not
married, […] can’t come up with the dowry.
We are not a rich family, Kativa.”).
Kativa, knows all Jasu says, but is not possible to her to oblige her child, not again.
It’s not the
first time that her child is take away from her.
It’s already happened.
It’s unbearable,
impossible, she can’t give her own girl.
She can’t believe she should to abandon her, can’t
keep her.
Kativa is upset, she cry, shakes her head, she’s breathtaking (“eyes fill again with
tears”, “shakes her head”, “breath becomes ragged”, “several breaths”, “I won’t.
If you try, if
you even try, you will have to kill me first”).
Jasu try to persuad Kativa because he knows it’s not possible to keep their child.
Even if they
want.
If they do this, their child become a burden to us, a drain on our family.
We can thinks
Jasu desn’t understand the reaction of Kavita, but on my own, I think he has no choice to react
otherwise.
At the end, Kavita ask to Jasu to give her one night with her and after, he can come fetch her
away.
If I should to imagine what will happen, I think Jasu says no to Kavita and takes the
baby.
So, Kavita cries and tries to pick up her child but she doesn’t arrive.
But I prefer to
imagine that Jasu says okey to his wife and she can to have her child for just one night, to
makes herself farewell.
But after this night, a man take away the child.
Ican’t thinks that they
keep her, because it’s not possible, they are too poor to do that.
And also because I cognize the
story and I know that the child will be adopted by a doctor later.
So, effectively, they don’t
keep their little girl..
