Once in school, her friend had told her "Do you know? Sitting with black girls and boys will make us also black? See am not sitting with Kalyani anymore. My mother told me if i am friends with her again, I will also end up bad and black like her"
Through out her college, she had girls around her who spoke lovingly about fairness creams
When she hit 23, her mother too had panicked about her job making her darker. "Quit being a reporter. Its making you dark and ugly"
Today as she lay under him, moving under him, she saw her arms on his back. Seeing white on black quickly made her withdraw her hands.
He stopped to look at her. She hated herself
