Smita bit her lip in self-reproach. She had been so excited at seeing the announcement, that she had not remembered that her brother was ill. She had seen how the doctors had shaken their heads gravely and spoken words that neither she nor her parents could understand. But deep inside Smita had known the frightening truth – that Anant would die. The word cancer had hung in the air – her brother was dying of cancer even though she pretended that all would be well and they would return together, a small family of four, to their home in Gaganpur. And he was only fifteen and the best table-tennis player in the school and the fastest runner. He was learning to play the sitar; they were both taking sitar lessons, but Anant was better than her in many other things. He was already able to compose his own tunes to the astonishment of their guru. Then cancer had struck and they had come to Bombay so that he could be treated at the cancer hospital in the city. Whenever they came to Bombay they stayed with Aunt Sushila. Her apartment was not big but there was always room for them. |
