No fragmento de texto a seguir, retirado do romance Love marriage, Yasmin, a personagem central, ainda criança, faz indagações sobre um episódio do passado de sua família. I Yasmin could not remember being told the story. It was as if she had always known. As though she had been born with the knowledge. Still, she thirsted for more. “What was the first thing you said to each other?”, she asked, while Anisah pulled up onions in the back garden, a smear of mud across her face. “I don’t know.” “You do.” “Only ten years old and so cheeky! You don’t see how busy I am?” “What did Naana and Naani say when you said you wanted to marry?” “Abba and Amma said okay.” Yasmin squatted down next Anisah. “Is that all? Is that all they said? And why do you call them Abba and Amma, but I say Baba and Ma? Why? Ma?” She tugged at a browning onion top. “Ma! You’re not listening!” “I don’t know”, said Ma. She sighed. “Always asking for reasons! I am your Ma. Okay? I did not want to be Amma. Here – take. Take the onions and wash for me.” Yasmin dumped the onions in the kitchen sink, took a pad and pen from the drawer and found Shaokat in the garage, performing his weekly exercise routine with a pair of Indian clubs. From her perch on top of the freezer she initiated the interview. “So, you and Ma met in the library. What was the first thing you said to each other?” “It was a long time ago, Mini. I must concentrate on the routine or it will not have the desired effect. “But Baba, what happened? Did you ask her name?” “The first time I saw her I knew I would marry her.” “You always say that. But what did you do? What did you say?” “Go and help your mother, Mini. I will finish my exercise.” II Later she heard a little more of their story. One of Shaokat’s regulars at the chai stall needed a boy to sweep the courtyard, carry parcels, wash the car and see what else needed doing and do it without being asked. Shaokat was delighted with his new lodgings. His new employer was a kind man, a professor at the university in the department of physiology, who saw that the boy was quick and capable. When the professor found Shaokat trying to read one of his discarded scientific journals, he enrolled him in night school. Shaokat dreamed of becoming a doctor. His grades were good enough to get into medical school but there was no way. He had to find another job, and soon. His wages were meagre, and as the professor had, with untold kindness, paid for night school, Shaokat had never had a pay rise. After paying for books and the other essentials, he was never able to save. When he met Anisah, he was penniless and about to be homeless as well. Anisah’s father, Hashim Hussein, was the proprietor of Hussein Industries, manufacturers of bed sheets, mosquito nets, blankets, towels and uniforms. Shaokat’s father was a landless laborer who died in a cholera outbreak. But they fell in love anyway. That much she knew. Comente o significado dos termos "Abba" e "Amma" em contraste com "Baba" e "Ma" no contexto do texto. (UERJ 2025)
