Kira looked up, when she heard the door close, then went back to methodically shredding newspaper. She barely registered her roommate’s, ‘what’s wrong?’ Half a minute later, she indicated the mess in front of her ‘I need to finish this by six.’
Ashi was bemused, ‘six?’
‘Meeting Dhruv.’
Ashi was disconcerted by her friend’s blank stare, but only nodded, unable to suppress her envy.
--Kira was now picking up fresh paper. She ripped it in half, deposited one half on the bed, then resolutely tore the other. She didn’t notice, when Ashi slipped out the room.
