Blood Brothers! Chapter 3

Over at the village, when it was time for him to grow up, Quanah carried Chandar over to his birthday cake.

Chandar grew up, still in his father's strong arms. Then Quanah placed his youngest son on the floor

Then Chandar jumped up and gave his father a friendly hug

Quanah sit with his sons and enjoyed the cake, Marala had made

"You look a lot like your father", Hala told Chandar, when she saw him outside

"Do you think I'm better lookingr than my brother?", he asked.

"Your face looks better than Shardul's, but you're both too skinny", she giggled
"Let's play Tag. You're it!", he said, tapping her arm.

Chandar ran as fast as he could around the lot.

Hala chased him.

Quanah was out in the yard, doing his yoga exercises Being in such good physical condition and having excellant control of mind over body, he's able to accomplish the most difficult yoga positions.

When he finished his yoga exercises, he played Punch Me - Punch U with Santosh
Since they're pretty evenly matched, the game was a draw.

"I know you've noticed Hita's odd behavior lately, the same as me", Lali, told Marala
"I refuse to listen to gossip about that poor woman", said Marala
"Come 'mon, what's a little friendly chat between friends, gonna hurt?", said Lali.
"We should be working in the garden, instead of standing here chatting, anyway", Marala said.

They watered the cabbage plants and Lali weeded the garden. "I'm going to go sit down on the riverbank", said Marala, "Come join me, when you finish weeding."

Marala sit down and enoyed the warm sun, on her beautiful tan skin

Lali joined her, when she finished her work. "Doesn't this feel wonderful?", she said.
"Yes, it is nice, but I better go get supper done, so we'll have time for Samir's birthday, before bedtime", said Marala.

After supper, Mali told Waya, "It's time for Samir to grow up".

Waya picked up the toddler and carried her to her cake.

When he put her down on the rug, Samir started growing up.

She grew up into a very cute child.

She sit at the table beside Hala and ate a huge slice of her birthday cake
"I'm glad you finally grew up, now you can help me with the chores", said Hala.

"And your father can decide which one of us boys, you're going to marry, said Nachik. "Me or Chandar."

"I'm just a child. I'm not old enough to be a wife", Samir said.

"She ain't got to worry about being my wife I ain't never getting married", laughed Chandar, thinking to whole idea silly.

Hala looked across the room and saw Hita

Poor Hita was slumped down to the floor in a stupor She seemed to be having a conversation with someone, only she could see

Her husband and Santosh's son were both doing the sign for she's crazy.

Quanah stood at the door to his hut and thought about Hita's odd behavior in the Gathering Place. "Something has to be done. That woman is an embarrassment to Sohan", he thought.

He went inside and lay brside Marala. His and Marala's families had arranged their marriage, when they were childern. If he had had a choice, he wouldn't have ever gotten married at all, but that wasn't the Comanche way. "At least, she had been able to give him two fine sons and she wasn't crazy", he thought to himself.
