A Baffling Day

Anjana was baffled. Why was she surrounded by a crowd? And why were there only the male members of the family here? Where were the bride and the groom? Where was she? She looked at them unable to think of a response. She shivered. Why was she shivering? And what was that sensation of cold air blowing between her legs? She suddenly recalled the previous night’s events and how Raji had gone out with her clothes. No! Her eyes grew wide in horror at the realisation that she still might be naked in front of the crowd.

She looked at herself and her greatest fears had come true. She was still completely undressed and the males in the crowd surrounding her were having a field day at her expense. She tried in vain to find something to cover herself with. Her eyes fell on the maid who had obviously woken her up. She was looking at her with disdain. Why was she looking like that? Didn’t she realise she was the victim here?
