She sighs heavily. he takes off her nosering, and then cups her face. he leans in close and asks her to give this night to him, while she is disgusted by the proximity and his lewd prospect. just then, the lights come back on, and she pushes him away, while he eyes her angrily. she asks him to be scared of the gods, as he sees well in darkness too, and tells him that even in her soul, leave alone body, sunder’s name is imprinted, and she is only his, and no amount of jamaal’s money can take her or her soul. She rushes away from there. he smirks evilly, and then eyes the nose ring that fell down, saying that whats destined cant be changed.
