PRATHAM'S POV 
 
I saw everything that was happening in front of me, but to be honest, I can't help. I can't interfere between them it's their family.

I'm just standing here because I don't want her family to do anything wrong to her as she will be alone with them.
 
Her tears were making me weak on my knees. I don't know why, but I never felt this much for anyone there, but seeing her with each and every tear made my heart act.
 
And suddenly she turned around to face me with her tear-stained face. I sucked on my breath it's painful, but my expression didn't change.
 
"Thank you so much, Mr. Stranger. You are a very kind-hearted person. We really need people like you. Now I need my leave because I already troubled you a lot, and please don't waste your money on them they are just here for money," 
 
She finished with her shaky voice, my breath hitched, and without wasting time.
 
"You are not going anywhere, Sona,"

I said sternly without hesitating for a bit, I can't let her go like this. What will she do here all alone?

Right, she is not even physically and mentally prepared for this cruel world again, and I don't want her to live alone.

It's scary for me to think, What if something happened to her? No, I can't.

She will not go anywhere, especially right now. She also has the responsibility of Madhur, and I know she will do anything for him.

I took a deep breath and saw her shock expression. She is blinking rapidly, and my heartbeat increases with her innocence.

The hall is completely filled with silence, a different kind of silence that is making me nervous and angry, both angered for her family and nervous for answering her.
 
"Sorry, I didn't understand what you were saying,"

She finally asked the most critical questions, which I was afraid of, and now that I don't know what to say, I gulped nervously and closed my eyes to avoid her questioning gaze.
 
"It's not safe for you and Madhur to go outside at this time. Also, right now you don't have any jobs. How can you both survive? I can't let you both leave,"

I stated without any doubt this time that I don't want to think about anything right now she is the most important, and especially Madhur he is just a baby, and they both don't know anything about life.
 
Her gaze was filled with so many emotions, making me gulp nervously. What is she thinking? , Was she going to argue with me about this?
 
"How can we stay here?" She questioned me, forming her eyebrows in a line. I blinked rapidly before answering her.
 
"I mean to say that until I find a proper job for you and make you settle here, I can't let you both go like this. I saved you that day, and now you are my responsibility. I can't risk your life. Sona, please understand,"

I finished calmly while deeply looking at her innocent face. I just prayed to God that now she would not ask me any questions.

She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, like she was suffocating. My expression turned worried.

I took a step forward and raised my hand to hold her shoulder, but before I could, she opened her eyes, which turned moist. I felt a sharp pain in my chest.
 
"Okay, but please find a job for me I can't live like this, and I also sent them I don't want to see their faces,"

I immediately nod without thinking twice, but for her family, I need to talk with her grandfather.

Only he can give me advice about this, but for that, at least they have to stay here for two days.
 
"Sona, can you please listen to me very carefully? I'll do everything okay, but please let them stay for only two days, and then they'll meet my grandparents before going to their village, okay?"
