125 The Letter

The moment Suu noticed the figure of Re'Kha alight from the cycle rickshaw, she sighed in relief, "I was anxious, lady Re'Luk. If you were late any longer, I would have visited the market myself."

"I had a good company this time, so we didn't see the track of time." Re'Kha apologised. They only stopped their shopping spree when the shops were being closed.

Suu was the granddaughter of the servant Sii. She was the only one who usually attended to the needs of Re'Kha in the house. She helped Re'Kha carry the large shoulder bag Re'Kha had brought with her, taking it to her room.

Contained in the bag were a lot of clothes, accessories, and some items of interest she had grabbed. Re'Kha also bought a lot of fasting pills. They were round balls the size of her thumb. Each ball was enough for one meal. And, they had a shelf life of one year.
