The Inheritance of Loss<\/strong><\/div>\n
All day, the colors had been those of dusk, mist moving like a water crea\u00adture across the great flanks of mountains possessed of ocean shadows and depths. Briefly visible above the vapor, Kanchenjunga was a far peak whittled out of ice, gathering the last of the light, a plume of snow blown high by the storms at its summit.<\/div>\n

Sai, sitting on the veranda, was reading an article about giant squid in an old National Geographic. <\/em>Every now and then she looked up at Kanchenjunga, observed its wizard phosphorescence with a shiver. The judge sat at the far corner with his chessboard, playing against himself. Stuffed under his chair where she felt safe was Mutt the dog, snoring gently in her sleep. A single bald lightbulb dangled on a wire above. It was cold, but inside the house, it was still colder, the dark, the freeze, con\u00adtained by stone walls several feet deep.<\/p>\n

Here, at the back, inside the cavernous kitchen, was the cook, trying to light the damp wood. He fingered the kindling gingerly for fear of the community of scorpions living, loving, reproducing in the pile. Once he\u2019d found a mother, plump with poison, fourteen babies on her back.<\/p>\n

Eventually, the fire caught and he placed his kettle on top, as bat\u00adtered, as encrusted as something dug up by an archeological team, and waited for it to boil. The walls were singed and sodden, garlic hung by muddy stems from the charred beams, thickets of soot clumped batlike upon the ceiling. The flame cast a mosaic of shiny orange across the cook\u2019s face, and his top half grew hot, but a mean gust tortured his arthritic knees.<\/p>\n

Up through the chimney and out, the smoke mingled with the mist that was gathering speed, sweeping in thicker and thicker, obscuring things in parts\u2014half a hill, then the other half. The trees turned into silhouettes, loomed forth, were submerged again. Gradually the vapor replaced everything with itself, solid objects with shadow, and nothing remained that did not seem molded from or inspired by it. Sai\u2019s breath flew from her nostrils in drifts, and the diagram of a giant squid constructed from scraps of information, scientists\u2019 dreams, sank entirely into the murk.<\/p>\n

She shut the magazine and walked out into the garden. The forest was old and thick at the edge of the lawn; the bamboo thickets rose thirty feet into the gloom; the trees were moss-slung giants, bunioned and mis\u00adshapen, tentacled with the roots of orchids. The caress of the mist through her hair seemed human, and when she held her fingers out, the vapor took them gently into its mouth. She thought of Gyan, the mathe\u00admatics tutor, who should have arrived an hour ago with his algebra book.<\/div>\n

But it was 4:30 already and she excused him with the thickening mist.<\/p>\n

When she looked back, the house was gone; when she climbed the steps back to the veranda, the garden vanished. The judge had fallen asleep and gravity acting upon the slack muscles, pulling on the line of his mouth, dragging on his cheeks, showed Sai exactly what he would look like if he were dead.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere is the tea?\u201d he woke and demanded of her. \u201cHe\u2019s late,\u201d said the judge, meaning the cook with the tea, not Gyan. \u201cI\u2019ll get it,\u201d she offered.<\/p>\n

The gray had permeated inside, as well, settling on the silverware, nosing the corners, turning the mirror in the passageway to cloud. Sai, walking to the kitchen, caught a glimpse of herself being smothered and reached forward to imprint her lips upon the surface, a perfectly formed film star kiss. \u201cHello,\u201d she said, half to herself and half to someone else.<\/p>\n

No human had ever seen an adult giant squid alive, and though they had eyes as big as apples to scope the dark of the ocean, theirs was a soli\u00adtude so profound they might never encounter another of their tribe. The melancholy of this situation washed over Sai.<\/p>\n

Could fulfillment ever be felt as deeply as loss? Romantically she decided that love must surely reside in the gap between desire and fulfill-ment, in the lack, not the contentment. Love was the ache, the anticipa\u00adtion, the retreat, everything around it but the emotion itself.<\/p>\n

The water boiled and the cook lifted the kettle and emptied it into the teapot.<\/div>\n

\u201cTerrible,\u201d he said. \u201cMy bones ache so badly, my joints hurt\u2014I may as well be dead. If not for Biju. . . .\u201d Biju was his son in America. He worked at Don Pollo\u2014or was it The Hot Tomato? Or Ali Baba\u2019s Fried Chicken? His father could not remember or understand or pronounce the names, and Biju changed jobs so often, like a fugitive on the run\u2014no papers.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, it\u2019s so foggy,\u201d Sai said. \u201cI don\u2019t think the tutor will come.\u201d She jigsawed the cups, saucers, teapot, milk, sugar, strainer, Marie and Delite biscuits all to fit upon the tray.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll take it,\u201d she offered.<\/p>\n

\u201cCareful, careful,\u201d he said scoldingly, following with an enamel basin of milk for Mutt. Seeing Sai swim forth, spoons making a jittery music upon the warped sheet of tin, Mutt raised her head. \u201cTeatime?\u201d said her eyes as her tail came alive.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy is there nothing to eat?\u201d the judge asked, irritated, lifting his nose from a muddle of pawns in the center of the chessboard.<\/p>\n

He looked, then, at the sugar in the pot: dirty, micalike glinting granules. The biscuits looked like cardboard and there were dark finger marks on the white of the saucers. Never ever was the tea served the way it should be, but he demanded at least a cake or scones, macaroons or cheese straws. Something sweet and something salty. This was a travesty and it undid the very concept of teatime.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly biscuits,\u201d said Sai to his expression. \u201cThe baker left for his daughter\u2019s wedding.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want biscuits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sai sighed.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow dare he go for a wedding? Is that the way to run a business? The fool. Why can\u2019t the cook make something?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no more gas, no kerosene.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy the hell can\u2019t he make it over wood? All these old cooks can make cakes perfectly fine by building coals around a tin box. You think they used to have gas stoves, kerosene stoves, before? Just too lazy now.\u201d<\/div>\n

The cook came hurrying out with the leftover chocolate pudding warmed on the fire in a frying pan, and the judge ate the lovely brown puddle and gradually his face took on an expression of grudging pudding contentment.<\/p>\n

They sipped and ate, all of existence passed over by nonexistence, the gate leading nowhere, and they watched the tea spill copious ribbony curls of vapor, watched their breath join the mist slowly twisting and turning, twisting and turning.<\/p>\n

Nobody noticed the boys creeping across the grass, not even Mutt, until they were practically up the steps. Not that it mattered, for there were no latches to keep them out and nobody within calling distance except Uncle Potty on the other side of the jhora <\/em>ravine, who would be drunk on the floor by this hour, lying still but feeling himself pitch about\u2014\u201cDon\u2019t mind me, love,\u201d he always told Sai after a drinking bout, opening one eye like an owl, \u201cI\u2019ll just lie down right here and take a little rest\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n

They had come through the forest on foot, in leather jackets from the Kathmandu black market, khaki pants, bandanas\u2014universal guerilla fashion. One of the boys carried a gun.<\/p>\n

Later reports accused China, Pakistan, and Nepal, but in this part of the world, as in any other, there were enough weapons floating around for an impoverished movement with a ragtag army. They were looking for anything they could find\u2014kukri sickles, axes, kitchen knives, spades, any kind of firearm.<\/p>\n

They had come for the judge\u2019s hunting rifles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
