What is it?" I asked.
Nibaran Chakraborty lowered his voice and said, "There would be many who would come to disturb you. They would try to misguide you. They would try to poison your mind and try to split your judgments. Don't listen to those fools. This is a golden opportunity for you. Take care of my house. Stay here happily on your own. Don't listen to any of the gossip or unnecessary chatter. Enjoy the rich vegetation in the garden and live happily. I have opened two rooms for you. Don't listen to anybody and stay without any worries."
And then, old Nibaran Chakraborty went away. He left me in the lap of opulence. For a poor, homeless Brahmin like me, it felt like I was atop the clouds! Inside the enormous house, I had two huge rooms just for my personal use. Apart from that, the veranda, the kitchen, the porch, and the courtyard . . . everything was mine to use. There was a nice draw-well to fetch fresh water too. I could hardly believe the grace of my luck.
