Around one, Scar gives us each a banana with roti. He must be feeling generous today because of the huge order. I wait for bhaji or dal, but there isn’t any. When Scar gives something extra, he takes something back, so there is always a price to pay. The bananas are mottled black and soft. I take a bite of roti, a bite of banana, and a sip of water to make them all come out even like the way I used to when I was young.
My eyes droop after lunch. The heavy air makes me drowsy, and I have to fight it. Scar brings us water later that afternoon, which he hasn’t done before. At least he makes sure we are not thirsty.
I take my tumbler and begin drinking. He quickly snatches it away. “I don’t have a well here! Sip slowly so you can stay awake and keep on working.”
Except for insults, Scar never gives anything for free. I must remember that.
