I was angry with Mala and disgusted with her stealing. Yet a part of me was sorry for her. All her beauty and cleverness were wasted. What had happened to her was like the breaking of a fine vase. (11.38)
Koly is ticked at Mala for stealing the bridal veil from Mr. Das, and even more annoyed that her so-called friend made her complicit in the lie as well. Mala is just out for herself and doesn't care who she hurts along the path of getting exactly what she wants.
