"The Weed"

The main character was Angoori, Ram Tara, Prabhati. Angoori is actually the main character She talks about the weed that guys add to sweets and make them fall in love. Angoori says that she would never take any sweets from anyone because she never would of known that is it would have the weed in it or not. She seems as if she were a sweet person, caring, smart, and very obedient.
She says that she would never accept anything from anyone because they could have weed in them especially if they were sweets. But at the end she realizes she accepted tea from a guy and that she has not drunk any in days or ate. So the conflict is weed you never know what it could be put in. They do not know if its possible to have those weeds in tea.
I believe that the message of this article is to not always trust someone when they are giving you something to drink nor eat because they could probably add something that could be bad for them. In other words even if you know someone well you should get your own drinks and food because you never know if they have any type of drugs.
A word I did not understand was languor. But it means tiredness. "Angoori's body belonged to this category, her rippling muscles impregnated with the metallic resilience of a coiled spring. I felt her face, arms, breasts, legs with my eyes and experienced a profound languor." It was trying to say that she was very tired.
