I put the chair below that and climbed on top of it. It was still out of reach.
Vinnee was still crying and it was irritating a bit. But I managed to control myself.
"Come on, give him something. Please. I need to think."
Her face was apologetic and I felt sad for her. What nonsense. I thought. It was almost 1.30am and we were still restless.
I looked at the ceiling, held her sari and sat down on the chair.
She turned her head to me and tried to smile.
"I'm so sorry Siraj..."
I ignored her apologies. I was still thinking about how to tie the sari through the hook on the ceiling.
"Can you tie this, I mean, if I hold you up there?"
She didn't say anything. She looked up and down a couple of times. And nodded slowly in positive.
Vinnee seemed at ease a few moments later.
She laid him on the bed, very slowly, and then came to me. She didn't speak but her eyes were glued to me.
I handed her one end of the sari and asked her to stand on the chair. She held onto my shoulder for support and rose on to the chair.
"Try not to move much. Otherwise, we'll collapse. I will lift you slowly and once you put it through the hook I will put you down. But you don't try to move. Okay?" I explained.
"Okay." She nodded.
