She lived mostly in extreme poverty. Simply eating was an issue, most of the days. She was considered as belonging to the lowest caste. However, she made some friends among it. She had only a basic knowledge that summed up to a few oral stories from childhood. She was force of nature, and people saw in their body and beauty the incarnation of a god. She was known to be lazy, barely waking up in the morning.
Zoputan, 84 years old, servant, became the new leader of the family.
Aged 96, Zoputan decided to go back to where her family came. She packed a few possessions and departed for a the old place she often talked about. The travel was uneventful, and a little bit boring and long. The family settled in Ntusi. Nine months after, Zoputan bought some new personal things at a fair price. The same day, Zoputan envied her neighbor. A few weeks later, Zoputan fell in love with Adjatay, an average looking man, 42 years old, a brick maker. Both married and lived together from now on.
