Towards the city

It was beginning to dawn on Krishna that the idea of borrowing money was terrible, but he had no other choice than to borrow money.

The sun ascended from the horizon, and soon the amber rays seeped in through the window of Krishna’s room. Krishna opened his eyes to the chirping of birds, and he found himself disoriented the moment he got up. This Dashain had left him with more debt, and the debtor, cruelly, had asked him to clear the debt within a month. With the money he borrowed, he bought Suju a new pair of black jeans and Rima a red salwar suit. On the day of Tika, when Suju had put on new clothes, he looked happier than ever before.
