" this will he your room" he says putting the light on " I will be next door, so if you need anything just ask me"

He turn to leave but Maya held his shirt. He turn to look at her " what is it?"

" don't leave me, h...he will come for me"

" who?"

" A..Ashwin "

Dev raise a brow " Maya no one will harm you, I'm  here, and I will be next door. If you need me just come and get me "

Dev turns to leave again, but Maya held his shirt.  He sigh " OK how about I stay until you fall asleep, will that help"

Maya nods. He tells her to stop crying now and change, but he soon realize she has no clothes to sleep in. He wonder if his sister has a spare outfit she can borrow, but he soon cross that idea seeing the time. He didn't really want to bother them or hear them asking him many questions about Maya.

Thinking, he got an idea " wait a minute" he says

Few second later,  he hands her his plain green shirt. Seeing the size, he figures it was long enough for her.  He tells her he will wait outside, but Maya didn't want to be alone in the room. " can you just turn around, I will make it quick" she says blushing

Dev uncomfortable  turn to give her privacy.  He tried not to think about the noises or the shifting. " done, you can turn now"

When he turn he almost had a heart attack. He wonder if a girl can look this good in a man T-shirt. He tried not to look at her nice legs. Maya got in bed and thank him. Dev walk to it and sat on the floor.

He tells her  to sleep. She close her eyes while turn to him,  Dev recollect everything  that happened.  He just wanted to show Sona that he is a good father, but now he has to take care of this woman. He wasn't expecting Maya to grab his hand while sleeping, when she did though, she felt content.

The next day Ishwari was at the table drinking tea. She had bags under her eyes. All night she was thinking about her son and some strange girl. She knew her son stayed in Maya  room. She didn't see him get out.

The door finally open and she stood up " Dev," she says worried.
