After talking with her neighbour, Ruth started walking in the direction of the tailor shop, which was situated in the western part of the town. She promised Mr Cooper to submit the completed work before noon. If she got late, then he would not give her any work next time.
Ruth pulled her dress up a little, above her ankles while making sure that her feet didn't land in the mud and garbage that were scattered all over the narrow road. The sewage water had a foul smell that made her scrunch her nose in disgust.
That is why they called the Eastern part a dirty area, where people didn't care about hygiene or cleanliness. Ruth loved the cleanliness and had hygienic habits that her mother taught her. The habitation made her sick. She didn't like to step outside her room unless and until she didn't have an important job to do.
