Diya ask her daughter, What happened?quickly.begin at the beginning. Mixci said Yes, but..... i didn't know.... when did it begin?I don't know........ i don't understand it. Diya ask Why did the police arrest you?When did they bring you to this prison?'Last week,i think.yes, last week'.At the airport ,when we arrived...The police stopped us,and looked in our bags.
Then... Mixci looked down at the table.'She's crying, Diya thought.'She is very unhappy.'What happened then, Mixci?' her mother asked.They.........they said there were drugs in your bag.Then they took me into a room and told me to take my dress off.They looked me for more drugs,but nothing found.Then...then they brought me here.'I see. where were the drugs,then ?Where did they find them?Oh. they didn't tell you?Mixci stopped crying.She looked up,and there was a smile on her face.But it was not a happy smile.'The drugs were in a tube of toothpaste.A toothpaste tub with drugs in it...heroin...not toothpaste.'And you didn't know about it ?'No, mother,of course not. Do you think i clean my teeth with heroin?'Diya smiled but it was very difficult to smile because she was afraid.But she smiled because she wanted to help her daughter.'I know you don't clean your teeth with heroin. You have very good teeth, Mixci.But what about Nallu?Did he know about the heroin?Did he put it in the toothpaste tube?'Nallu?No,Why do you ask about nallu,mother?'Well ,is he in prison too?You said ''us'' and ''our bags''.Did the police arrest him too?'Oh,no,'Mixci 's face was unhappy.'No,I wasn't with Nallu,Mother. You see,Nallu and I...Well,we aren't friends now.I left him about two months ago......and then i met Vicky.'Vicky?' Yes i was with Vicky at the airport. Nallu was on the plane too.I don't know why - but he wasn't with me,it's Vicky.He was with me.Vicky is important to me,not nallu.'Diya looked at her daughter.' I see.And did the police arrest him too?Is he is in the prison?'Yes, he is.They arrested him but i can't see him.I asked them.I wanted to see him.But they said "no".Mother,I am sure vicky didn't know about the heroin.He is a good man...he didn't know, I'm sure.'Then why was the heroin in your bag? Mixci. I don't know mother.......I don't know.'The man(jail warden) looked at the clock in the room.'I am sorry,Mrs Diya,'he said.'But that 10 minutes. It's time to go.'Diya stood up slowly.'All right,'she said.'But don't be afraid, Mixci. I'm coming to the court tomorrow.'Yes, mother,'Mixci said.'Thank you,the police are bringing vicky to court tomorrow too,I think. You can see him there.He is good man, mother,......and I'm sure he didn't know about the drugs.'Perhaps'.Diya said.She walked slowly to the door,and then stood by the door and looked at her daughter again. 'Mixci....you are telling the truth,aren't you?'Mixci began to cry again.'Yes mother,of course i am.I always tell you the truth,you know that.'Diya smiled.'Yes,Mixci,'she said quietly.'Yes believe you.'She went through the door and the warden went out after her. Mixci sat quietly at the table in the room,and looked at her hands.'Yes',she thought. I told you the truth,mother.I always tell you the truth. But i didn't tell you everything....'She put her hand into her face.
