Estha went to the bathroom an started stripping off his clothes not knowing that Rahel was outside watching in fascination, she didn’t mind seeing his brother naked. He noticed Estha’s features. As Rahel continued to stare at her brother’s body, she searched for signs of herself on Estha’s naked body. She wiped away the raindrop glistening down Estha’s ear. Although he knew Rahel was here, Estha didn’t seem to care and continued to wash his clothes naked.
