Pages 126-166 Summary

After the plane lands, Priyanka and Meena Mausi take a taxi to the sari fabric shop, Sualkuchi Silks. At first, none of the women working there recognize the pashmina or the handiwork on it. Finally, one woman recognizes the embroidery and says that it resembles the work of a woman named Rohini, who didn’t work at their shop but at a different factory nearby. Priyanka and Mausi take a train to the city where the other factory, Warangal Silks, is supposedly located. The place feels familiar to Priyanka, and she feels a faint, cold breeze. When Priyanka and Mausi ask a taxi driver to take them to the factory, they learn that it has been closed. They go to the location anyway and find the former factory destroyed altogether. Priyanka sees the shadow woman roaming about the wreckage. Mausi cannot see the shadow woman, but Priyanka follows the mysterious figure to a hut that she recognizes. It is the same hut that she saw at the beach with Kanta and Mayur, where the shadow woman was also lurking. The breeze becomes stronger and very cold. Priyanka takes the pashmina and goes into the hut while Mausi waits outside.
