Barkha feed Piyali, and handed water to her.
But she stopped her,

" maai, do I really have a family?" She asked making Barkha halt.

" why you suddenly got that doubt?" Barkha asked turning to her.

" if I have a family, then Why they left me with you even when I was in coma?" She questioned.

" th...they left for important work.
Will come soon" Barkha stuttered.

" no maai, I don't feel so.
Even if they have any important work, they must be..." She is unable to complete her words as Jaggu intervened saying, " I lied to you.
You don't have any family.
I found you injured on road and admitted you to hospital from then maai is taking care of you, like her own daughter."
Piyali is shocked by his revelation.

" Jaggu!" Barkha yelled for his sudden revelation not paying attention to her plight.

" let her know the truth maai.
You said she should not feel she was cheated by us" He reasoned.

Piyali immediately hugged Barkha maai and cried, " maai, whom am I, do I really don't have a family.
I'm an orphan then"

Barkha wiped Piyali's tears and speak, " you're not orphan my dear, look you have me, Jaggu.
Then how you will be orphan.
We all are one family" she caressed her hair.

" not only that,  you have to meet someone.
Who is eager to meet you.
He have something to say you." Jaggu speak.

" who's he?" She asked.
" zamindar Dipankar, he is a respectful person.
Don't panic, I and maai will come with you.
We both know him since years.
He even saved my life when I was a child.
He don't have any bad intentions towards you.
He is an old man" Jaggu speak folding his shirt arms.

Piyali eyed him for a while from head to toe, and said, " I can't trust you."
She speak making him shock.

Piyali eyed at him and said,
" I got mother like feeling from maai." She side hugged Barkha and continued,
"But I still can't mingle with you freely, so I'm not getting trust on you, what if you sell me to that old man?"

Barkha chuckled, Jaggu gave horrified look at Piyali and nodded his head is dismay and said,
" then consider me as your brother, may be you can find me trust worthy"
" by the way who said you all these things.
No one will believe you are in coma all these days.
I mean about that horrible act" he added referring to her words of selling her to someone.

" your friend chotu, he had become my friend too.
He told me what threats girl's are undergoing these days" she answered.

" chotu! He never change.
He is the news paper of our basthi." Jaggu muttered making Piyali laugh.

" Okay, have food we need to visit doctor.
She asked me to bring you for check up" he said going away.

" wait, you said you had found me injured but where?
How?
Then why you lied to me before?" She darted her questions at him.

" look, I lied because I don't want to make you stressed and answers for rest of your questions is, God sent me to help you and I did my job.
That's it.
Don't repeat those questions again" he half yelled.
