• It had been raining for four days.

Drains and rivers were almost

overflowing.
• Azreen’s mother passed away peacefully. Azreen and her father hardly
cried because they knew she had gone to a better place.
• That night, Azreen entered Madhuri’s
room. She remembered when she damaged
her mother’s favourite basket by carrying
too many durians. She and Madhuri had to
stay up late to weave a new basket. Their
mother knew the truth and laughed with
them.
• She cried as she mourned the lost of her
mother and sister.
• As she was about to leave, she saw a face at the window. She
quickly went to the backyard to look round but saw no one.

• When she went back into the house, she smelt smoke and saw a fire
in Madhuri’s room. The kerosene lamp had fallen and the wall was on
fire.
• Azreen’s father came in and pushed her out of the house.
• He scratched the wet soil as much as he could with a broken pot
and threw it over the fire until it went out.

• As she stepped back into

the house, she closed the
door behind her and
shivered.
• Who was it that she had
seen outside the window?
There was something familiar
about the face… she was too
tired to think.

 • The next day, Pn. Fatihah sneaked out quietly into the jungle. She
wanted to go to Awang’s house.
• She had been there years ago. She went to see the bomoh for a
charm to win back her husband’s affections. She also wondered
whether it was against the Islamic teachings to twist her husband’s
mind with a little spell. Later she had thrown the charm into the river.
• In the end, her husband married a younger
woman.
• She could bear him no child, and had no
power to keep him all to herself. She could
see crow’s feet on her face and her sagging
skin. How could a man stay in love with this
face?
• As Pn Fatihah walked on, she heard a sound
behind her. A woman with long hair and pale
face, who looked very much like Madhuri, was
coming towards her. Her head started
Page 149 - 150 spinning and she fainted.

• Salleh had found a yellow cord near the rubble earlier. He was sure
he had seen it on the bomoh’s wrist and he was so sure that the bomoh
had a hand in it. He was in rage and quickly headed to the bomoh’s
shack.
• Salleh banged loudly on the door. When Awang came out, Salleh
grabbed him by his throat and asked him to explain his action. He
pushed the bomoh into the house and slammed the door behind them.
• The Old Lady saw everything that
happened between Salleh and Awang.
• As she turned to leave, she found Pn.
Fatihah lying on the ground nearby.
• The Old Lady wanted to help Pn
Fatihah but she hurried away in fear.
• The Old Lady was annoyed at Pn
Fatihah’s reaction and could not
understand why she had been lying on
the ground the whole night.

• When the Old Lady reached home, she saw Azreen was waiting
for her in the rain. Azreen told her that she wanted to spend her
night at the house because there were too many memories at her
own house which made her uncomfortable.
• Meanwhile, Asraf was worried. His grandmother’s condition was
getting worse. He loved his grandmother very much.
• He went to the market in the rain to find a cure for her.
• Pak Huzaimi, the vegetable seller, told
him that all his medicinal plants had
been ruined in the rain.
• He suggested Asraf to get the
medicinal plants at the Old Lady’s
house.
• Asraf went to the Old Lady’s house.
Realising it was Asraf who was standing
at the gate, Azreen dragged him into
the house.

• Asraf explained his grandmother’s condition to the Old Lady and
asked her for some herbs.
• Azreen asked the Old Lady to go back to the village and see
Asraf’s grandmother herself. That way, the Old Lady could prepare
the proper medicine for her.
• The Old Lady did not want to go at first because she was still
angry at the way villagers had treated her.

• Asraf begged her and said

that he did not care about what
the villagers would do and he
would take care of the villagers.
• Finally, the Old Lady agreed
to go to help Asraf’s
grandmother.
