Lashkmi goes into the halloway and she sees that Mumtza is giving Ruepes to a strange guy who she thinks is a goodna but it turns out he is a policeman. She can't understand why there are so many bad people in this city even the ones who are suppose to be good like the policemen. Lashkmi doesn't like this little David Beckman boy but today he offers to help her read and be able to write in a story book of course she is going to take the offer but not tell him how much she is begging to learn. They warn Lashkmi if they find out that she can read and write they will lock her back up and think she is planning a way to excape. After she has been with many men a actual clean, young, and polite guy comes to her room. He isn't like the other men he is pleasant and holds her and makes me feel really good. She starts to question if she is pretty or not and think about this guy very often. She feels as if no one will ever want to be with her now because of what she has been through...yy
