Waqt ke sath sarkari quarter ka mahaul poori tarah badal chuka tha. Meera ke pet ka ubhar ab saaf nazar aane laga tha, aur uske chehre par pehle jaisa darr ya khauf nahi, balki ek aane wale naye jeevan ka teej aur santosh tha.

Jagdish ka ravaiya bhi ab ek sakht malik se badal kar ek zimmedar pati aur hone wale pita jaisa ho chuka tha. Woh subah daftar jaane se pehle aur shaam ko lautne ke baad hamesha Meera ki sehat ka khayal rakhta tha.
