The day of the ruling, the judge announces that Zafar’s petition is granted, and the courtroom erupts into cheers. From the back, Elli tells the judge that it was a good decision. Zafar gives an interview with the Khaufpur Gazette, telling them “[n]ow things are different” (190) because “[t]he Kampani bosses must come” (190). The hearing will take place in June.
Elli and her employees protest in front of Somraj’s house. Elli holds a sign that reads, “SOMRAJ IS UNFAIR” (191). Somraj emerges from his house, and onlookers believe the important man will reprimand her, but instead, he brings her a cup of tea. When she says she can’t drink tea because she is holding a sign, he takes the sign and protests at his own house. Elli tells him she feels as if he’s against the boycott; he replies, “You may draw your own conclusions” (192).
