Maniklal: Yes I was as they were taking you to work with them and you were learning something.
Asha: What did the villagers used to say to you?
Maniklal : Villagers used to say what kind of person are you, you are sending her alone with them. What if they rape her or kill her and throw her somewhere.
Asha: What did you use to say to the villagers?
Maniklal: I said that the decision is of her parents. She is going there with their consent.
Asha: How did you feel when I used to go outside?
Maniklal: I felt bad
Asha: Why did you feel bad?
