13 chapter 13

"He will not come himself to take revenge on my father, but will ask to send someone with him."

After 15-20 days the Kotwal(police officer) of Champapur village came to Panditji's place. He told about Bisan being ill. Muniya knew that this was Bisan's trick but she did not say anything. The father asked her to make preparations to go tomorrow morning. Muniya's mother gave him a lot of goods and sent him to Champapur with her father. Also it said:-

"Muniya, even if you die, nothing should happen to the Jamai Raja(son in law)"

By evening, the father and daughter reached Champapur. Bison had seen him coming from afar and immediately went home and started pretending to be ill. Munia's father left for his village Gangapur after a while because he considered it a sin to eat food and water from the daughter's house.

When he came home, he told the whole thing to Muniya's mother and fell asleep peacefully.

Here, the truth that Muniya knew, her father was not aware of.

One day everyone treated Muniya well. Then the series of atrocities started which was not taking its name to stop. The next day, husband, mother-in-law, sister-in-law and brother-in-law together killed so much that he lost his life and then he was thrown into the well.

Suddenly Munia's father was startled by the sound of dogs barking. He saw a helpless cow running and dogs following him. Muniya's father saved the cow by lifting a stick in his hand. Seeing the innocence of the cow, he started crying again. The news of Munia's death had reached Munia's father-in-law and Basanti's in-laws.

Basanti once became rooted after hearing her sister's death, but inside she felt a sense of happiness in some corner. She was happy because she would no longer be hit without talking, as well as her sister's evil eye on her husband would not bother her. Basanti had a lovely baby girl and another child was in her stomach. The father had written a letter to him not to grieve about the death of his sister. Along with this, after having a child, there was also a talk of bringing it. Basanti's in-laws wanted that the child coming to her place should be in her in-laws' house. Everyone expected that this time it would be Basanti's boy.

Days were passing by.

Muniya's mother's health started deteriorating. His daughter's death had broken him. Sarpanch ji asked to file a case against Munia's husband. But Munia's father refused. Speak,

"Sarpanch ji I have three more daughters. Their marriage will be difficult."

He completely broke ties with Munia's in-laws. People advised to bring Muniya's child but Panditji said

"The child of a snake is a snake. There must be poison in it."

Munia's mother also mentioned a couple of times that

"Sometimes I feel like meeting the sky"

But Panditji gave strict instructions.
