At the tea stall, Laila threw down kettles and tossed a wooden crate into the road. The townspeople — stirred by Meera’s filings and the audacity of the raid — poured out of their homes. Women with rolling pins, farmers with iron rods, children with stones. Malik’s men hesitated. They had never faced a whole town.
The town’s heart was the tea stall by the bridge, where old men argued over cricket and the tea-seller, Chotu, knew every gossip worth knowing. It was there Vikram met Laila, who ran the stall now and kept a watchful thumb on the ledger of every debt and favor.
