She keeps crying and speaks in a choked voice.

SUSANNA. I am sorry …

He looks at her for a while and then sits down opposite her. He puts his wooden leg on her lap. She starts to unbuckle it.

SUSANNA. Tests normal

RODRIQUES. Then why can’t you conceive …?

She puts the wooden boot on the floor

SUSANNA. She says

The statement hits the Major like a rock. He is stunned. He raises his amputated leg and starts to caress her with it.

RODRIQUES (staring into her eyes). Hmm …?

Suddenly the door opens and Goonga enters, holding a tray with a glass of milk. The Major turns sharply as Goonga watches Susanna crying profusely. He gets up and walks towards Goonga, limping. He bends down on his knees to talk to him.

RODRIQUES. knock

He taps hard on his chest with his two fingers.

RODRIQUES. Knock … knock.

The little man shakes, so does the tray and the glass of milk on it.

RODRIQUES.

He picks the glass and smashes it on the wall. Goonga is startled. He looks back at Susanna who keeps crying helplessly, trying not to make eye contact. Goonga turns and walks away.

Cut to:

Ext. Campfire. Night.

Another drinking session at the campfire. This time Arun, now a young adult, is sitting with the trio.

GHALIB.

Goonga growls something in a low tone.

MAGGIE. Are you mad!

MAGGIE.

Goonga makes a lewd gesture towards Maggie and walks away in anger. Arun sees his opportunity and reaches for the beer bottle, but Maggie swats his hand away.
