Sold Chapter 69 Summary

Old Man

  • When Mumtaz asks if Lakshmi is ready to work, Lakshmi nods and follows Mumtaz upstairs to a small room where an old man lies on a bed.
  • Across the hall, Lakshmi hears animal sounds that make her nervous.
  • As Mumtaz and the old man talk, the grunting stops, and a man walks into the hallway, zipping up his pants.
  • Lakshmi gets the feeling that something is not right.
  • Even though the old man asks her to come to him, Lakshmi refuses. Suddenly Mumtaz grabs Lakshmi and throws her onto the bed next to the old man, who kisses her.
  • Held immobile by the weight of him, Lakshmi can't stop the old man from forcing his way between her legs, but when he kisses her, she bites his tongue and escapes.
  • Lakshmi runs back to her room and starts to pull her mountain clothes out of her bundle.
